What's up?
So last week was pretty groovy. Elder Reyes and
I had some rad lessons and we taught some hip people with some righteous
members! It was wicked...
Elsa Guerrera now has a baptismal date for the
29th. We had a great visit and taught the Restoration and asked her if she
would pray about it. She said no and her reason why was that she already knew
it was true... Pretty sweet! Haha She said she felt the Holy Ghost bearing
testimony of what we said. But we told her she should still pray. She
accepted the baptismal date and we will continue working to help prepare her
for the date. We just need to get more members involved. Maybe a couple ¨Noches
De Hogar¨ (FHE) will do the trick. We are excited for her. We met her one night
when a less active member that we’d never met before called us and told us to
come and share the message. It's really weird how less active's can give us
referrals like this, but it happens all the time, and this one was golden.
Our zone had a meeting with President Andelin
and after we had interviews. It was really great seeing him and receiving his
training. The meeting was pretty short and was focused on a theme from a
Conference Talk about “Which Way We Face” and fearing God and wanting to please
him more than fearing man. We learned a lot in the short conference.
The President also went over new exercising
methods that he encouraged us to start using every morning. He told us we
should see how long we can plank, meaning stay flat like a plank on your toes
and elbows. He explained that the world record was made by some Asian soldier
that held the position for an incredible 4 hour stint!! That is GNARLY!! The
2nd place record was around 2 hours, SO that guys gone and set a pretty safe
record!!
Then the President told all the Elders to line up and that we had a
competition! So we all lined up, he set the time and we planked. The minutes
ticked by and our numbers lessoned as trembling Elder after Elder fell flat on
their faces. Myself and 2 others, out of the whole zone, passed the 5 minutes that
the President set. Elder Thacker ( 27, who served in the army), The other was
our new Zone Leader (Replaced Christian Conaway), and me. The President was
pretty pleased with us and we 3 received Homemade Brownies!!!
Sister Andelin brought THE BROWNIES for the
Brownie Challenge and so afterwards everyone who passed off all the assigned
scriptures, received their brownies For Each Language they memorized them in...
and they were DELICIOUS!!
We are excited about this week's planned
lessons and I'll let you all know how the week plays out.
So I don't have much time so that's about it
for the week.
Love Elder Rod Zierenberg
