We had a BUSY week this
week! Meeting after meeting and the Temple both on Friday for us
(Endowment) and the Saturday for Recent Converts. :) It's been a
wonderfully busy week. We've been trying really hard to work and to do
those things we know we need to be doing. :) So we've been working hard
with the members as well as our members. We're spending a ton of time
with them and have been utilizing our clubhouse gym in the complex. It's
been really good for us! I feel like I'll be able to have a good system
set up to just be healthier. :)
Monday was a
great Preparation day! I played soccer and volleyball with the other
Elders and Sisters in the Zone. I AM the oldest sister in the Zone. :)
Haha it's so weird. And Since I never trained, I'm considered the Great
Aunt of the zone. It's really really funny. :) Hahaha.
Tuesday was a lot of work as we went out and about trying to find our members and have a lesson with them. :)
Wednesday
was Zone Conference all say long. It was great! :) Received a lot of
revelation for myself as a missionary and what I need to do when I get
home. It was great. We got out at like 5:30 but it was still great!
Thursday
was weekly planning as per the usual. We had a great day of
visiting and working. Not much to report for Thursday.
Friday
sister Simmons and I went to the Temple!!!! It was so cool being able
to do family names again. I have one left and I can do the work for
her! I also found out that I have a card where I can quick do
initiatories and then go through for her for my temple visit with the
missionaries I'm going home with. I'm so excited. We went to Sheridan on
Friday and had a ton of fun meeting with a less active sister who can't
attend because of health problems. It's rather sad but it's worth it to
go see her. :)
Saturday we had a Ladies Brunch
at the Branch Building. It was so much fun! We had basically our entire
teaching pool in the room and most were sitting at our table! It was
too funny. :) We also had the mission wide temple day! I had two recent
converts help with the family names I had. 10 names were baptized and
confirmed this weekend. It was wonderful. Sister Simmons and I got to do
some confirmations too! It's always so cool when they lay their hands
on your head for someone else. It was amazing. It always is. :)
Sunday
was nice to be in Church and to go visit others. We went tracting for a
bit, met with some less actives and toured a big church called Traders
Point. This Church is the BIGGEST MEGA CHURCH I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY
LIFE!!!!!!!!!! It has a STADIUM wit's so big!! Non-denominational
churches have worship concerts and they play really good music about the
Lord but it just is lacking something. It's just more and more
testifying of how badly we truly need the Priesthood in our lives.
It
was a good week this week! We were swamped which honestly kept us
really busy. It's been good to stay busy. We deep cleaned this morning
and are planning on sending all of the junky stuff we don't use to
Goodwill where it will go to good use. I'm really happy we're getting
rid of things and dejunking. I found over 20 church books that no one
was using and will be giving them back to the Zionsville branch. It'll
be a good thing to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I'm excited to have it
be open. :)
We have been working hard and our
Less Active Family the Bullocks have come to Church for three weeks in a
row now. :) It's been amazing! I'm going to be SO SAD to leave them.
And Nicole. I feel like we're trying to break through to her and we just
need to find something that will help her make that leap and do it. She
wants to be baptized. All we need to do now is help her make that solid
decision. :) To have her on date before the next set of missionaries
get here would be a dream come true. :)
It's been a really good week. Super busy but all in all, awesome. :)
Love and miss you all!!!!!!!
Love,
Sister Halverson
Oh yeah, Last week was SNOWY and cold and awful. But now? It's sunny and warm. Talk about Bipolar. :)
