We had a couple of great things happen this week! First
off, we had an incredible zone conference where the Mission President and a Stake
President spoke to us. Our mission president spoke about coming closer to Christ,
and the Stake President talked about the parable of the Good Samaritan. He
suggested that the Savior chose every word carefully when he gave a parable, and
that this one is full of symbolism down to the oil and wine used to bind up the
wounds. Try studying the parable assuming that the good Samaritan represents
you, then that the man who fell among thieves represents you, then that the
"beast" represents you. It is quite interesting!
On Saturday I got to attend my first baptism since I
entered the mission field! He is the 8 year old son in a family in the
branch.
The missionaries have been a big part of his
preparation to be baptized as his family is returning from inactivity, so it
was a really cool day for me.
A couple of interesting things happened this week, one of
which was us burning some boilup. My companion told me that it is impossible to
burn the stuff, and that you can just throw it in a pot and eat it whenever you
are ready. Maybe our planning session that night was too long, but when we went
to eat our boilup the kitchen was filled with smoke and all the water in the
pot had boiled off. The flat still stinks a little bit.
Another interesting thing that happened is that Elder
Webber smashed his bed. I'll send the pictures.
Have a good week everyone!
