Season 11: Skyway A. Episode 4: Cultural Experiences

Elder John and I certainly had a last couple of interesting P-days! Last P-day we went to the very top right of the Skway ward which is the closest in the mission you can get to Seattle without leaving the mission. It was a super fun adventure! We took so pictures there and it was super duper enjoyable!! You can tell by Elder Johns smile in the picture :D

Today we did some more cultural events and went to a place called the "Family Fun Center." We went with the other Elders in our ward and played some Mini-Golf. It was great fun and goodness! The stress melted off like wax to a small flame :D The owner of the place is a member and he was super kind to us.

The work in our side of the ward is going well! Duane dropped us sadly due to his mom not agreeing with him meeting with us anymore. She has a heart issue and he wont talk to her more about him wanting to meet with us because if he does that could potentially cause her a heart attack. That's some tough stuff he has to deal with and we are praying for him!

We had a ward roster meeting on Saturday with most of the Auxilarys in the ward, the Bishopric, and the other missionaries in the ward. We went through D-Z in the ward directory in a 4 hour meeting. We went over every member in the ward directory (there were over 900 A-Z) and determined what that persons next course of action is. So whether that be moving their records back to Salt Lake, having the missionaries go visit them to determine their interest, having the bishopric visit them, etc. We got a lot of work done and its going to help so much in giving us specific persons to visit.

Elder John and I have some good work this week. We are going finding to bring more souls to Christ. We are excited for the fruit we will be blessed with as we work hard.

Have a wonderful week! If you aren't reading The Book of Mormon everyday, just try it out for this week and see what happens. But don't simply read it like a Harry Potter book or novel, read it like a cookbook or exercise book actually applying things to your life!

Happy leap day!

 

Sincerely,

Elder Sumsion
