Good Morning!
This was a great week! Sorry I didn't get to email
yesterday! We had a Zone Training meeting and interviews with the President! We
were among the last missionaries to get interviewed out of 34 missionaries in
our whole zone. I think we are the biggest in the mission. So with the meeting
starting at 9 am and with 34 missionaries all getting 10 minute
interviews, we would be interviewed by about 3 pm. However, how realistic is a
ten minute interview with president? I'll tell you, very unlikely. So we ended
up not getting out of there until around 5pm. So we were at the church
literally all day. It was really fun though because we got to hang out with our
Zone Leaders and the missionaries in our district for a long time. My interview
with president went great. He's so inspiring and motivating. I wish ya’ll could
meet him!
Today for preparation day we are going to the
Walmart Fitness Center. It's this associates only fitness center but they are
allowed to bring guests so we get to go today! I'll let ya’ll know how it is.
This week Elder XXXX and I did so awesome. I've
told ya’ll how we tract all the time right? We are trying to work smarter. We
have no problems working hard, that’s for sure. We decided to stop keeping
track of the lessons we teach while tracting, in order to boost our motivation
to get more member present lessons and actual scheduled appointments. We got 13
lessons this week without counting our lessons from tracting (which I estimate
is somewhere around 10). It was such a fun week.
XXXX is progressing well :) keep her in your
prayers!
Thank you so much for all your support :) I love you all so much!
We also received this e-mail & photos yesterday :) ...
Hi Moms of Elders Sherwood and XXXXX,
My name is XXXXX and we had the pleasure of
having your missionaries join us for dinner tonight. I have 5 children ages 8
and under and they gave your boys a run for their money tonight. My daughters
are 8 and 5 and the 8 year old acted goofy around them and my 5 year old made
eyes and flirted with them while sitting quietly next to them all night. My
older boys who are 6 and almost 3 got in a fight over their chair which came to
blows and then my 6 year old had to have the usual fight over food and how much
he was going to eat. After my almost 3 year old settled down and ate nothing he
found the camera and took some pictures of your sons. I am just glad that my
little 7 month old can be confined to the high chair.
Thanks for helping to send your sons on missions.
They are a great example to my children and after tonight I think they could
use all the good examples they can get. They gave us a great little lesson to
end the night and helped us get things calmed down.
