Weekly Email - 9/15/14

Latest district picture before Elder Hamblin went home.

It was a great week! It really flew by! Here's the breakdown

Monday- Pretty normal P Day. E Mailing, shopping, played some sports at the church and then FHE

Tuesday-We had Zone training in Manhattan. It was pretty good. The main thing I got from it is that we need to invite someone to be baptized everyday. We met with a part member family and the non member dad showed us some of his cool toys. He's not very interested in the church but we were able to extend some good fellowship. We met a cool new investigators named Omar and another named Crystal and are going to see them later this week. We met with Megan and went through some of the baptismal interview questions with her. She is looking good for the 20th. Still hasn't smoked.

Wednesday-I had to go to District Leader Accountabilities in Manhattan. It was good, President Bell and his Assistants were there and we got some good leadership training. Afterwords, we met with Megan for a minute and then had dinner. Then I interviewed a couple kids the spanish Elders are teaching for baptism. They were really awesome and very ready. Then we had coordination meeting.

Thursday-We went on exchanges for a little while with some of the Elders in the district. I went with Elder Hulse and did some finding in his area. Not too much luck. We saw Megan again and taught her a couple commandments. The Buttrey's fed us dinner and then Brother Buttrey came out with us on a couple teaching appointments. He got in a pretty good argument with Caroline about politics but I don't think she got offended. She said she was still planning on church this Sunday.

Friday-We had District Meeting and then went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I went with Elder McKellar to Manhattan. It was really fun, he's an awesome missionary and I learned a lot of things that I could try in my work, area and district. 

Saturday-Came back to Junction City for the Spanish elders baptism. They baptized a mom and her two kids. It was really awesome and they were so excited! After that we played some tackle football with the young men at the church in our suits. No grass stains! We saw Megan again and taught her the rest of the commandments. All done with the lessons! She just has to keep staying committed and she'll be ready! We tracted into a part member family that was pretty cool. The non member husband wasn't very interested but I think we'll be able to get them to come to church. We went to a wedding reception for someone in the branch and were able to see a lot of less actives.

Sunday-Megan came to church again!! She is doing really good and is really excited to get baptized next weekend! We had a couple other people fall through but  we should be able to get them to come next week. After church we saw Gary and gave him a blessing because he tore his groin and then had dinner with the Wrights who have like 7 kids under the age of 7. They are cool and we got them to commit to do some missionary work with their neighbors! We had a little extra time before 9 so we went and helped a less active move some stuff to finish up the night! 

Overall it was a pretty good week! We hit standard on all of our indicators which is good but our goal is to double them! Hopefully we can do that this week! 

Love you all
Elder Boman
