MONDAY - Happy bday pops!!!! Today was a good pday, we all went to the church after emailing and played some good basketball before heading to the store to do some shopping. We shopped and decided to get togther with Elder dominguez and Hardy cause they were together for transfers and got some free pizzas and found game fuel too! YUM! We used the rest of the night to plan the week a little, make adjustments.
TUESDAY - We didn't have district meeting today because of
transfers so we just had service for an hour before heading to the less
active Garcia family for dinner. Pollo again... I'm tired of chicken
haha, we have it almost every day! We ate and visited a few appointments
we had and all but one canceled. We met with Jason and taught the
Restoration in English and it was hard. We struggled to teach in English
haha. We got done and he is way solid. Willing to listen, way cool guy
too. We headed back in the dark and got rest.
WEDNESDAY - We had district meeting today and I just interviewed
everyone and got their goals for this transfer and got a feel for the
people they are teaching and what I can do to help them in their goals.
After we went back and changed and went and did service again. We
finished at 4 came back and changed and got ready to go out to dinner
with Nabor. He took us to Griffs at almost 6 so we got back at 7 and it
was pouring outside and all our appointments canceled. Again. So we had
another poopy night... :(
THURSDAY - I was invited to zone leader council so I went with
the zone leaders for the 10-4 meeting and it was really good. We will be
having an apostle visit our mission in may, right before I go home. We
got back late and had dinner with the alvarez family at 6:30... GROSS!
on top of having chicken, they were living in a super gross house with
cocroaches everywhere... including in my food. But she was poor so I ate
the food with the roaches pushed to the side. An experience I'll never
forget. Cristina canceled for the third time in a row.
FRIDAY - We had our planning session today because of the meeting
and planned all day. We had Mcdonalds dropped off for us and the other
elders. We ate and then we went tracting together. No luck. We all
stayed at the other elders (elder hardys and niebergalls) for conference
the next day.
SATURDAY - General Conference was awesome! We bought 12 pounds of
fajita meat to grill up with salsa, limes and tortillas for lunch in
between sessions. It was powerful and uplifting and a resurrance to my
heart that no matter the cost I would do anything for this gospel
specifically for this one and only true gospel here on the earth. I know
that it is true. Nobody can take that from me. We were there all day
enjoying the wonderful speakers and we were so tired by the end of the
night.
SUNDAY - Another day of wonderful talks today. We still had tons
of fajita meat so we grilled again! We had tons of food and of course
the branch was telling us to eat more as well of their food. It was way
good! We got back and tried a few people and then headed back to get
numbers. Not a lot of work this week with all the meetings but
conference was so good it made up for it. I love you all and I know that
this work is of the Lord. I would deny God himself to say it was not or
to even say it was only a partial piece of his work. I love you all.
Thanks for your support.
love,
Elder Aaron Jackson
