Hej!
This week went by super fast for me. Last week for P-day we didn´t do too much, but it was good. We made another meatza with the other missionaries, and this time we took pictures! I´ll be sure to attach one. On Tuesday we did short exchanges with the zone leaders. Elder Floyd and I realized right after we split that neither of us had taken keys to the church to open it for family history night. Our investigator Jan was there early because we told him he could practice piano at the church before doing family history, but we ended up just standing outside for about half an hour. Luckily it wasn´t too cold. Eventually we just went to a library so we could wait inside somewhere.
On Thursday President Beckstrand came to our district meeting, and I got to have an interview with him. It went well. That night we did Sports Night, which was pretty fun. Afterwards Sister Hong gave Elder Pearson and me haircuts. She worked at a salon with her mom before her mission, so she is pretty good. It was a much better haircut than the last one that I did myself, haha.
On Saturday one of the sisters´ investigators got baptized! She was pretty late, so everyone was a little nervous, but once she got there everything went super well. A lot of members came too.
On Friday there was a solar eclipse here, but it wasn´t a complete eclipse so it wasn´t such a big deal. There´s a member in the ward who is an astronomer, and he said it was about an 89% eclipse, which is not very noticeable. I tried to take a picture of it, but it didn´t show up very well on the camera.
Elder Pearson and I were asked to sing in a choir for an Easter Concert that is going to be in the church. We were recruited because there weren´t any tenors yet in the choir. We had our first practice last night. There were about twice as many men as women, which almost never happens in choir. We are singing some good songs, so I think it will be fun.
This week I finally went through my scriptures and marked a bunch of scriptures with sticky notes that I will be able to use to find scriptures quickly in lessons. It was really cool to read through a lot of scriptures that all show the love our Heavenly Father has for us and how we are given the scriptures to help us to know how we can come back to Him.
I hope everyone has a great week!
