Week 9

Hello all! This week was fairly slow, we had many lessons set up but they almost always fell though. We did get to meet with a less active member whom doesn't agree with the idea of religion but he said that he is open minded so we're excited to start teaching him. We went down to Watseka on Saturday and we had next to no luck, we met with two people out of the 30 or so we had set to visit. It's alright though because the two people we met were less active members and they had no clue that next weekend was General Conference so they were grateful that we stopped by and told them about it. For those whom don't know what that is, it is essentially when the leaders of our church and the prophet speaks to the world and to the members of the church. It happens twice a year and is a very spiritual experience where we learn about things pertaining to our time that can help us grow spiritually and help us to draw closer to God. I invite all to watch it because it's pretty sweet. Now that I'm finished with that tangent, on Saturday our ward had a teachers training where we heard from members of the Stake high counsel. We learned about how to be better teachers and I really got a lot out of it, I've tried using some of the techniques and I've already seen a difference in my teaching skills. We taught class in 3rd hour again and I'd say it went fairly well. We talked about the priesthood and our responsibilities pertaining to it. It just came to my mind that I've been out for more than two months already, I thought time wasn't going by quickly but clearly it is.

That's all I have to report on this week!

Love you all!
