This week for pday an Elder wanted to go to the mall in our area to go on the super tall slide that goes all the way from the top of the mall into the basement. It was a pretty crazy experience where they had to have us sign away liability and wear helmets and everything. Turned out the helmets were pretty useful because right at the end of the slide it goes into a tunnel and when you can't anticipate turns and stuff you get thrown around pretty good! Hahaha it was a fun time though.
Monday night we also had a fun lesson with a friend who has some deep questions about the after life and the meaning of life. But he uses some hard to understand Chinese and so this time we got a member to come help. After we taught a little bit and started to fall short our member just took over and then basically just taught everything we were going for! It was an awesome example of member missionary work because we had a little meeting before the lesson to discuss the goals and topics and because of that the member was able to touch upon everything we wanted to discuss, plus a bunch more awesome stuff, all in a way that our friend actually understood! The member even invited our friend to baptism, to which our friend said "if he knew it was true he would accept baptism." Pretty awesome. Members really are a missionary's best teaching tool.
Speaking of a misisonry's best tools, we have been using the missionary teaching pamphlets a lot this week. I used them a lot in training with Elder Bunn but ever since then I haven't used them as much. I wanted to start using them again now that I am training and so far it has been a huge success. Got a new friend, and put a friend on date for baptism and I'm not going to say the Pamphlet was the reason for success but they definantly felt like they helped.
This week was kind of crazy. Hardly got any normal studies. Elder Gibson and I only got maybe an hour total of companionship Study together this week due to exchanges and other weird morning activities. That's really awkward because we are supposed to have an hour a day and up to two hours a day because of training. Sorry President! Hahaha.
Anyways, more next week. We have a ton of stuff already planned but I am hoping for some normal missionary days to report about!
