Last birthday on my mission

Today is my companions last Monday, it's his last week on his mission. 

This last week first off was Zone Conference. Got to go down and see some more Elders there, especially people that I know. 

It was a very good Zone Conference, pretty informative! So yeah!

I received some more mail there too. I think I have received Birthday cards from all sides of the family now!

It's just going to be a normal day tomorrow, although we are going to the Robbins tomorrow for dinner, they are going to feed us so I am looking forward to that. Made a commitment to myself to feed the missionaries when I get a house of my own ;)

No sign of the Birthday package yet :3 but I will know as soon as it comes, so hopefully it will come sometime this week so I can pick it up for transfers next week!

We were meant to have a temple trip this week, but the morning of they cancelled, because the temple has had no water and they have used up all their reserves! But thankfully they have scheduled it again for this week

Also on Friday, one of the great things that I was able to do was we went on exchanges, and I was able to go back to Birch Acres! My old area! It was awesome, got to see quite a few of the members there!!

Especially this one family! The Mashego's. They are a wonderful family and I got really close to them while I was in Birch Acres, so it was amazing to go back and see them again, they were very happy to see me! The reaction on people's faces when they see you after such a long time is just amazing and priceless! I love it! 

Might try and drag Kieran on a mission tour holiday some time in the future

Sunday was an interesting day. We had only 4 investigators at church, and since we cover 2 wards, one of them was the only one, so we go to gospel principles, and she is the only one there! So we let her go to YSA and she really enjoyed it. Her name is Millicent and the way she found the gospel is just like a general conference talk. She found a Book of Mormon wrapped up, couple of months later she was cleaning out and took it home, read it, and then finally met with the missionaries after the missionaries started teaching one of her friends! We had a really powerful lesson with her this week, talked about repentance and it was interesting, because we taught the lesson we planned, but it was evident on her face that something was weighing on her. And so we were able to help her resolve it!

That's it!

Love you lots
