Week 47

Kia Ora! This week has been a pretty good one for sure. We have been trying so hard to get stuff done and work hard but man does Satan just throw stuff right in the way. Even though we had some obstacles we were still able to see some progress for sure. Tuesday we didn't have district council due to zone conference on Thursday so we went to go give a Sister a blessing who rolled her ankle pretty bad and is in a boot for a few weeks. We than had all our other morning stuff and after lunhh we went to the Chapel to wait for a lesson with a guy named Saint. While we were waiting we set up companionship for the next MTC Exchange on Wednesday. So we waited for a while and Saint didnt show up so we ended up leaving and doing a bit more planning for the exchange and than had a lesson later that day with a couple about prayer and praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It was pretty good. We hope to see them coming to church soon! Wednesday we had the MTC Exchange and it ended up pretty good. There was some difficulties with the one missionary having a doctor appointment and us having to switch companions for a bit so I could go to the appointment with him and the others could work and what not so it was pretty hectic. Did heaps of street contacting though and found a few cool people to talk to. Thursday we had zone conference and Elder Ward and I gave a training to the zone and we focused on the importance of following up with people and the commitments we leave them. Than President Walker gave an amazing training on Faith in Jesus Christ and helping missionaries have more and more motivation and desire to want to serve with all we have. Friday we had weekly planning and everything was going great. We had things we wanted to do and plans for everyone and we got to it! We contacted quite a few people and we're heading back for some dinner and we had another episode of fighting with Elder Wards sick stomach. We are trying to figure out how much he can eat of what foods before he gets sick so trial and error is a big deal right now haha. Saturday Elder Ward had to take two missionaries to the Mission Home for an interview with President Walker so I was left with two other missionaries to do some work. We did a little talking with people and the street and ate lunch and than the others got back so we got back to our area. We had a lesson with a guy that's from Pakistan and he's pretty cool. He's kinda hard to work with but we are doing our best teaching him about the Book of Mormon and inviting him to read and pray. So things look good for him. Things have been going really good here and I'm excited for things moving forward. As always there are things popping up and disrupting the work but it will always move on! I hope you all have had a great week and are loving life! Ofa atu! Love, Elder Wilding
