So we had a lesson with Deven (ysa ward) at the church thursday and we go in this room and start it off, and all 3 of us were sick and had allergies, so we all just sounded horrible, and deven kept complaining about how dry his throat was, so sister Preston gave him a cough drop and yoooo he was chompin on that thing and choking on it like nobody's business and we thought it was SO funny! He's just such an awkward funny kid. But we were trying to not let him know we were laughing at him...because that's bad...but it was SO hard trying not to laugh because I could hear her and she could hear me laughing and it was just bad...but the good thing was, was that for some reason he had his eyes closed for almost the whole lesson...so he didn't even see us laughing...until later and he was like uhhh...so the only thing that I could think of was "oh man, sorry we aren't laughing at you, I just have to go to the bathroom!!" So we just run to the bathroom because we were laughing so hard and we just had to get out of there before it got worse. And we laughed for like 3 min in there and said a prayer that we could get through the rest of the lesson...bc we were only like 5 min into the lesson. And y'all I swear prayer works! There were plenty more times that I would have died in there but somehow I didn't. And we ended up actually having a really good lesson with him about the restoration and resolved some of his concerns about the book of Mormon!
Tuesday we had zone conference...this was probably the saddest one. At the end of zone conference the missionaries that leave at the end of the transfer bare their testimony and ALL the senior missionaries like the Ashtons, Partridges and the Hatches are done with their missions now. They bore their testimonies and omgosh it was just so sad for them to go. But zone conference was SOOO good! President is amazing and is so smart in the gospel so it's so cool to hear what he had to say!
So Wed we had a lesson with the family I was talking about last week! The kids are SO precious! It was pretty heartbreaking to teach them because we would ask them who God and Jesus Christ were and they had no idea, but it was cool to teach about Them, and the kids were just SO excited! We taught them the restoration and they were loving it.
Friday was probably the best day last week because we had our Mesa temple lights training!!! Dude I'm so excited to get to work the temple lights again! I'm glad I'm on whoever's good side in the Mesa mission because not everyone gets to do this twice on their mission! It was crazy though because the training was from 1:30to 4... it was soooo long!
Yesterday at church was so awesome! The Lakeview Trails relief society wanted us to give a training on how members can help the missionaries! Then we went to our YSA break the fast thing and hahaha that place is so awkward. I need to make a cautious effort to make sure our nametags are showing, because dudes will come sit by us thinking were normal humans and flirt with us....and I'm like okay what the heck are you doing dude? Then I realize our hair is covering our nametags. So we flip our hair back and it's sooo funny to see their reaction when they see we are missionaries! Ah man it's so funny. This YSA ward is actually pretty chill, I like it WAY better than my last ysa I was over...or any ysa in Utah. I swear all the ysa wards in Utah are full of greasy suckers, and I'm not about that life.
Anyways, I can't believe next transfer is Christmas and I'll be skyping the fam, and then I'll basically be going home after that haha, so weird.
