We had a major cancel spree Wednesday night which cut out 5 or so lessons, but I was able to do three baptismal interviews (as District Leader) for other missionaries which is way fun. We also have set Mary Anderson on date for baptism for the 15th of November, though that may get changed a bit so her Dad can come out of the hospital to visit and see the baptism. We found three or four new people to teach as well all around the stake, and our weekly planning list is growing so much we might need to make it two pages long, and the font is already pretty small on it haha!
We did the last round of service for Hermano Guerra this week too, he's gonna be discing the fields for winter and won't be doing much else. It was way fun though and it's been great to help him out so much.
Last P-day we had an amazing hiking trip on Godiva Mountain, all the way to the very top, with TONS of mines along the way, it was really cool! We came down the Mammoth side too.
We both spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday too, and for part of it as I was talking on the Plan of Salvation I did a little "Hellfire and Damnation" preaching haha, it was fun. Just as well, this is probably the fourth time over the pulpit I have expressed my belief that Zion is actually in Texas. No one's proved me otherwise yet haha! Yes, most people get the Texas joke, but I haven't really convinced anyone yet. I even announced in a stake-wide Bishopric meeting that we should give big Texas flags instead of towels to converts as as the come out of the baptismal font haha.
That being said, I feel so blessed to be serving in this stake still, I feel like I say that every day now. Such lovely people out here, and so much potential to invite others to come unto Christ as well! Have a great week everyone!
