Hey ya'll, What's going on? Man, another quick, busy week has come and gone. Once again, it went by so quick I feel like I am going to have a hard time remembering everything that went on because it was such a blurr. It was definitely a success oriented week with everything going on at the Oklahoma City temple open house. Spent 2 full days out of our week working there. On Tuesday, we were volunteering with the parking side of things. We did that for the first half of our day and it was literally pouring soooo hard on us. We thought a hail storm was coming, but we were fortunate enough to not have that happen to us. The next half of that day was spent in the temple itself ushering people around through the hallways and where they were supposed to be going through out the tour. Then on Wednesday we did ushering as well, but this time it was all day standing in the temple. I'm glad I was lucky enough to be in this area at this time and to have a chance to work at the temple open house. Can't wait for it to get dedicated on the 19th so I can finally go for the first time in a really long time. It was also cool to see people at the open house from previous wards, and also some previous companions I had.
Another event that took up an entire day was MLC (mission leadership conference.) Meetings like that are definitely long and exhausting, but super fun to be a part of. There is so much revelation and inspiration that has been coming at this mission left and right, and I'm just glad I am able to be apart of it. As President Mansell keeps assuring us, there are gonna be some changes in the months to come. President and Sister Mansell only have a month and a half left, then President Christensen and his wife will be coming in. That time is gonna be coming so fast, it's hard to imagine that we are already at this point.
Friday was also a fire day for us. We had District counsel with our district and zone, and it was awesome. Right after that, one of the assistants, Elder Wold, his companions were out of town so he asked to go on a quick exchange with us right after district counsel. We didn't have a lot of time, but we spent 45 minutes knocking some doors. Rewind: A goal that I have been having in mind for finding efforts was to set our expectations high, so we are shooting for 10 new people a week. It's a lofty goal, but that's definitely going to push us to give it our all! Now back to our 45 minute door knocking, we found 3 potentials all back to back! It was way cool to see the miracles come instantaneously after we set that goal! Don't be afraid to shoot for the stars ladies and gentlemen! On Saturday we got to help out volunteering with the Red Cross for the “Sound the Alarm” event. We went door to door in OKC trying to install fire alarms for people who didn't have any. It was way fun and felt good to be doing something like that for the community! Definitely a Christlike move!
Well, I guess this week was more memorable than I thought it would be. It was good to be with y'all on this fine p-day! Thanks for all the love and support ya'll give me back home! Can't wait to talk to ya'll soon! Love ya'll!!
Love,
Elder Weese
