This week was pretty fun! We had 4 days where we went and did some kind of service and it made the week fly by so fast it's crazy haha.
I'll just start off with tuesday. We went to the Auckland City Mission again but this time we went to another building and we did some food sorting and made little take away bags with hygiene stuff in it like soap and conditioner etc. It was pretty fun we got to be with another district and just spend the day talking to them and serving the people of Auckland it was great! Later that day our district set goals for the month of March.
Wednesday we participated in setting goals for the zone for the month of March. That was pretty fun. It's cool being involved in so much of the leadership stuff. Kinda crazy and hectic at times too haha. Later that day we went with the sisters in Massey and did a service for one of the people they are trying to teach. It was they same people that I cut trees down with a shovel haha and guess what I did AGAIN! Cut more trees down haha. When I think he is done cutting trees he decides to get rid of more haha. It was fun though. I love helping those in need even if it is in the most strange ways haha.
Thursday we had district council and I feel like I'm getting better at the training. Still not as good as I would like though haha. One of the sisters said it was one of the best district councils she's had in awhile. So that's an improvement right there haha. We went to go see a few members and I also hit my 6 month mark! Holy cow! Sometimes i feel like it is going so slow but than I take a second to think about it and man is it going fast! I cannot believe it. My trainer (Elder Baasansuren) goes home this week as well! Crazy.. anyway I burnt a tie for my 6 month mark and that was pretty cool haha. Later that day we wentto mutual and played dodgeball and indoor soccer haha it was way fun!
Friday we had another service with the Auckland City Mission and this time we were serving food again. It is always fun to go there. The people we work with love having us there and talking to us it's great. That took up the whole day pretty much.
Saturday we had a service with the ward which was painting the primary school here in west harbour. It was pretty fun. They used a interesting dark blue that will need like 5 layers for it to look good haha. Oh well. It was fun we talked to heaps of teachers and parents that came to help out so it was way productive.
Sunday was pretty good! I love testimony meeting so much. This week a member passed away from a motorcycle accident on the motorway, and his wife got up and bore her testimony about the gospel and how families truly are together forever. It was a very sad story. The kids are both under the age of 8 so a very young family and now they have to move forward without him. But when they reunite it will be one amazing day for them! Well we had another lesson with Erica. She is doing great she participated in fasting so that was great! She's doing amazing with her reading the Book of Mormon. I cant wait for the day she is baptized!
Overall this week has been very exhausting but it was been great at the same time! I've loved my mission so far and cant wait to see what the Lord has in store for me in the next 18 months! I love the gospel and I love my Father in Heaven so much! And i love all of you! Have a great week!
Ofa atu!
Love,
Elder Wilding
