This week has been pretty good! We didn't really do much on Monday. I took a nap so that was great haha. We went to go teach a lesson with Jaden and his sister Monday night but they weren't paying attention at all so that kinda sucked but it's all good.
Tuesday we had lunch with Brother Wihongi again he is awesome. He always offers to help us out and if we need a fellowship he is always willing. We also met a guy named John. He's from Tonga and he's really nice. He was hit by a car when he lived in Tonga and now he's mentally slow which is really sad.. but he's great to talk to and he's already a member but we are trying to get his mom involved in the lessons cause shes a nonmember. Its a work in progress but we will get there.
Wednesday we had Zone Conference which was really fun it was just our zone this time and we went over how to use technology more effective and using time wisely. Me and elder baasansuren wore matching ties so that was pretty cool. We have to sets in the same design just different colors one is red and one is blue they are so nice! And Elder Ross who is from Idaho Falls has the same suit as me so we took a picture so I matched with two people that day haha Elder Bingham from Malad gave his out going testimony so he will be going home this transfer. He's awesome he's one of the assistants to the Pres and I always had great Idaho conversations with him haha.
Thursday we went to the Auckland city mission again and served food. It was pretty fun serving food and getting to talk to the people that come through. Its always super fun to go serve there. That's pretty much our Thursday nothing else really haha.
Friday we did heaps of tracking and didn't have too much luck but we went to meet with John again and taught him the Plan of Salvation and we are waiting for a good chance to talk to his mom about bringing him to church and participating in the lessons. She always seems to be busy but we will keep trying. We got invited to a members birthday party. Her name is Sister Semu she and her husband are leaving for Samoa for a mission in a few months and her family through a surprise party. It was way fun and heaps of people were there. We got a picture with her and her husband and wore our matching ties and she loved them haha. We helped clean the dishes and clean up the food after.
Saturday we did more tracting and we went to a place called Hobsonville. Its a relatively new town here and heaps of people already live there haha. On our way back to our car a member that works at a restuarant saw us and bought us lunch and that was awesome. I had a pork sandwich and it was so good haha. We did our studies and more finding and that was pretty much it.
Sunday was awesome! We had sacrament and after we had a lesson with Quinton. He is a guy that Brother Wihongi met months ago and has been trying to get his life back on track. I think I mentioned Quinton a while ago but I'll tell you about him again haha. He grew up in a gang and had bad relationships with his family. He got into a bad situation and now has a 3 year old son who has been taken away from him and the mom doesn't take care of the boy either. So Quinton is trying to get him back but has to go through some trials first. He has to get his health better cause he had a heart attack I think from smoking and he's getting heaps better. Anyway we had a lesson with him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and having Faith it was pretty good! We also met with Selena. I think I mentioned her too. She is a friend of the Bishops daughter and has been taught a few months before I got here but was dropped because she didn't come back to church for months and stopped talking to the Elders. But Bracken (the bishops daughter) kept inviting her and talking to her about the churchand helping her understand the Book of Mormon. So we had a lesson with her and she loved it. She has been talking about getting baptized so hopefully she will take that step soon! It's pretty exciting!
Anyway that's my week! I hope you all have been doing great! I love you all and pray for you! Have an amazing Thanksgiving and eat enough Turkey and mashed potatoes for me!!
Love,
Elder Wilding
