Whoever said I wasn't the best procrastinator? Definitely not my Grade 2 English teacher. Or grade any teacher. I still have so much to do as a missionary! This next week will be my last with a name tag on and I have a long list of things that I want to get done. Brittany, you're virtual tour of the tunnels is coming right up. I hope that suffices. Kim, your treat will be in the mail tomorrow morning. As for my investigators, I'm doing my best to give them what I can this week. I expect to see a few more miracles before I start packing.
I feel like last week never really happened. So since I can't remember anything that happened, I'll tell you about the motor coach we had this morning. Since Sister Takahashtag is still relatively new to this whole temple square thing, I wanted to make our large group tour exciting for her. We put our brains together in companionship study to come up with some original ideas for a 40+ group of tourists. We were very pleased with how the execution of our plans turned out. Since it was such a big group, we took with us Sister Chadderton from New Zealand and Sister Magaoay from Hawaii. Sister Takahashi and I actually took the tour guide on a tour by herself last month which was great because she talked us up to her group that she brought today. We started in the tabernacle, gave a brief history of the pioneers and then we picked two volunteers from the group to come up on the stage of the tabernacle and do some acting for us. Sister T and I helped the two act out a short scene from one of the pioneer stories found in, "Our Heritage." The story is about how Benjamin Johnson gets pointed at with a rifle by a big brute who demanded that he give up Mormonism. Our older lady who played the part of Ben shrieked and yelled, "Never!" The bad guy shot his rifle 3 times and was upset because he's had the gun for 20 years and it's never misfired. Finally the gun goes off but instead of killing the Mormon, that old brute killed himself. His death was a little delayed yet well done by our deep voiced actor. That seemed to break the ice pretty well in the tour group and then we went to a good view of the temple to teach about eternal families. The group asked some good questions, we gave some good answers and read a little from the family proclamation. We then went to the monument of the handcart pioneers and taught about about faith and sacrifice. We told them about William Clayton who wrote, "Come Come ye Saints." And then the four of us sand it. Our Hawaiian started us off with a beautiful solo and then we came in with some harmonies. That felt good. We testified and then called it a day. I felt really good about this tour. We talked to individuals afterwards about some of the questions that they had and gave them some Church materials.
I'll be back on here next week with hopefully some good things to say. Gahahahasajkhdfajkfkagdfhkadhk avdfhkashkfbajksfb! It's weird to be finishing because I feel like I only just started but I also feel like a new human at the same time.
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
