July 4, 2009

Happy 4th of July!

Last Friday we helped out with the Stake Youth Conference. They were doing an "Amazing Race" kind of thing in a giant park in Shawnee. Elder Caceres and I manned one of the stations. We were at the Archery range. No, we didn't get to shoot bows and arrows. That would've been awesome if we did, though! Haha! It was kind of like a pictionary type of deal but with clay. One person from their team had to sculpt a principle and the rest guessed. We were given a quick little lesson to share, but Elder Caceres and I didn't really get it, so we just made one up. Haha! I based it off of a scripture in Jeremiah (18:1-6) saying that we are clay in the Lord's hands. It was pretty hot outside, but we mostly stayed in the shade, so it wasn't too bad.

We had interviews on Tuesday. I told President Van Komen that I want to serve in KC3 again. It's the only area that I haven't baptized in, the area that I got along best with the members, and the area I felt like I was supposed to do more in. But we'll see what happens. I'll find out on Tuesday. Isn't it crazy that transfers are already here!?! July 9th is transfers! I also had district meeting and talked about Obedience. It was a pretty good meeting! 

Wednesday I went on exchanges with one of the zone leaders, Elder Briscoe, in his area. It was really good! We committed a lady named Cindy to live the Word of Wisdom and be baptized on July 18th! She very enthusiastically accepted! The zone leaders live in a very rich member's house. In the morning I accidently set off the security alarm while Elder Briscoe was in the shower and I disarmed it just a few seconds before it was going to call the police! Haha! It was pretty intense! Haha! Well, that's about it for my week.
