Kia ora!
This week was pretty
fast Monday wasn't anything too special. We got our car back so that was a huge
blessing haha.
Tuesday we had a
pretty interesting day. We drove to Helensville to do some tracting and spent
the day their and we encountered a very interesting lady when we were door
knocking. She loved how we were sharing a message about Christ and trying to
help people see how important he is to all of us but than she started attacking
us saying we are cloned and forced to dress up and wear tags and be annoying by
knocking doors haha. She told us we weren't having fun and that the church is
dumb for making us work and go all over the place teaching and annoying people.
We tried to talk about how we love to do this and we were not forced or
anything but she wouldn't take any of that haha than she gave us a huge which
was super weird and thanked us for trying to share a message about Christ and
than started bashing us again so we said merry Christmas and walked away haha
it was strange. That was pretty much our day haha.
Wednesday we had zone
conference and that was so amazing and the spirit was so strong I loved it! I got
to see some of my mtc intake and got to visit with them. Elder Rogers is
already training and he's excited for that but pretty nervous haha. It's crazy
how we are all in different stages of our missions. After all the training for
zone conference all the districts in the 3 zones that were there had to perform
a skit themed around missionary work and Christmas and there was very funny
skits that were performed I really wish I could explain them all but I can’t
ahah they were too good. Very fun day though I loved it and loved getting to
visit with the missionaries.
Thursday it rained
heaps so we couldn't really do much but did a little bit of tracting.
Friday was pretty good
we had some member visits and received some training on how to do family history
and that was really fun and interesting. Family history is pretty fun but very
difficult sometimes haha. We had a ward activity where we went down to
hobsonville to walk at the docks again but not as many people showed up and we
just talked to Bracken and Selena about New Zealand and American slang and how
the people talk haha it was pretty fun and interesting. I'm not sure if you can
tell from my emails but I talk so much different now haha.
Saturday we did heaps
of member visits and door knocking trying to spread the good news of
celebrating the birth of Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. We had a
potential lesson fall through so that kinda sucked but we will try to set
another one soon.
Sunday was pretty
great we had an amazing 1 hour day of church. The sacrament meeting was focused
on Christ and remembering him. The spirit was so strong. We than had a member
baptism that we went to and enjoyed getting to talk to the family and some of
the ward members. We had a lesson with some members that are currently looking
after two foster kids and when we had a lesson on spending Christmas with
families and focusing on Christ than the girl started to cry because she said
she has no family.. we felt really bad but as we continued we said that she has
family everywhere she goes because we are all Gods children and that really
touched her and helped her so much. Turned our to be a very good lesson. Went
to go tracting and it was pouring so we just went back to the flat and had more
studies.
Very good week I'm
excited to have my 1st Christmas out here and it's been weird but amazing at
the same time. I guess its gonna be raining Christmas day but we will see haha.
So much for a hot sunny Christmas haha. We will be visiting heaps of members
and than getting my first call home so that's awesome! Anyway I hope you all
have a Merry Christmas and really focus on family and Christ!
Ofa atu!
Love,
Elder Wilding
