Week of Adventure (week 12)

Greetings from far away lands.

I speak to you now from a land across the world from the place of which I was raised to be the person I am today. Oh the days of the past. Looking back always makes things look so far away, but let us begin with this story to be told.

This week as been adventure through and through, in some rather interesting ways. Soon after emailing everyone we began to walk around, mainly from place to place. While doing so we talked and played the three choice game that Elder Daniels knew about, which made the day awesome, even with all the walking. We then had someone come to us while we were at a McDonalds and told us that he was a inactive member and wants to return to church. That was pretty awesome, and from that we gain two new investigators as his children will be preparing for baptism as he returns to church.

Afterwards we continued on with the week. Tuesday was a great day as we went through all our meetings as a district and Zlc. all of which went pretty smoothly. Then on Wednesday we had an interesting night, where the majority of the photos came from. The youth were doing visits with some of the members in the ward, and had the missionaries join them as they went to the members, though they didn't really need the amount of missionaries that showed up. Only one of the elders went in at a time and joined the group that they were in. The rest stayed and waited, and due to some lack of planning there was nothing to be done during the time. So my companion and Elder Aldous (One of our Zone leaders) had a bit of a throw down in the back seats. It was quite entertaining as the two went back and forth. even though there was no true fighting between the pair, Elder Daniels was going through some uncomfortable parts. In the end it turned out to be a great night and the youth did a great job during the visits as they lead the whole thing. It was a good experience and will help them prepare for what's to come in their life.

The rest of the week went by just as smoothly, and nothing else that major really happened, that was the only crowning moment. Though as each week goes by it gets sadder and sadder as soon Elder Daniels will be heading back home at the end of this transfer. We're not ready to see him go just yet, and hes not as excited to go either. We sometimes get a bit bummed out when we look at how close his departure is, but the work must go on and so we continue to move forward in all that we do.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time wherever you are in the world.

I'll see you all next week

Love,

Elder Boren
