The above is a quote taken from Elder Folau this week while he was frying up some breakfast Burritos. I think it honestly applies more to the state of the Utah Jazz right now because my boy Donny Mitchell is gone. My Jersey has been rendered useless.
We visited the second counselor of the branch at his work place this week. He's an electrician and a painter and he showed us the current project he's working on at the slaughterhouse organization as well as invited us to help him paint sometime. On the way out of the organization, we ran into an old investigator named Alemu and invited him to meet with us. It was a bit of a frustrating lesson, but he came to church this Sunday and we were able to give him a Book of Mormon!
We taught another man named Melaku who is obsessed with a mega preacher from Nigeria named TB Joshua, so we showed him our own beloved living prophet President Nelson.
Our last batch of really good lessons were with two friends named Dawit and Sileshi. We got Sileshi's number because missionaries in another Zone called him through a member record, but the guy is definitely not a member, so we don't know exactly what is going on but instead we delivered the good old word of God. They are funny guys and are really interested, the only problem is they live really far away.
We've been trying to meet with Tekaw a lot recently because that man is busy and being a recent convert he needs some continued nurturing. He's always travelling up north for work or down south for family though. We were able to catch up with him one night and he showed us his work place. He also came to church, passed the Sacrament, and is going to receive a calling next week! He always sends us photos and video calls us throughout the week. I love that guy so much. Tesfay on the other hand is as consistent as usual and helped translate this last Sacrament meeting!
We also had Zone Conference this week. President Dudfield trained on asking inspired questions, Sister Dudfield taught about living in wisdom and order, and we also had wonderful trainings from the APs, the STLs, and the Moyers, our only senior couple.
We had a Zone competition going on and the Sisters and us were head-to-head for the lead, then they absolutely destroyed us in the last week and won. We went to dinner to celebrate their victory and to celebrate the end of the transfer as well.
Transfers came and went. I'm staying in Beklobet with Elder Folau for my fourth transfer. Only one person is leaving the zone.
With General Conference coming up in a month, I decided it is never too early to prepare for conference. I would invite you all to do the same. Begin now to think of questions you have been pondering lately and write them down. Review last Conference's talks too! Elder Bednar talked about how when we study the scriptures, cherish and honor our covenants, and heed not the world, we can better "discern the absolute emptiness of anything in or coming from the great and spacious building." I love that. It truly reminds me that wickedness never was happiness.
