***Roberto got his results back from his Ancestry DNA test. Aidan first responds to his results.
14% Scandinavian??? Where did that come from?! Haha! That is way awesome! And I guess we have figured out why Conner and I got our calls to Africa!! 4% Northern Africa baby!!! That is super awesome! And Dad, that sisu thing you wrote me about is awesome! I feel like that could be a cool brand, or like the Sottomarino Sisu... But I guess that isn't Italian... But I think I'm going to write that on the front page of my planner! Super legit!
This past week has been very, very nice. First off, zone conference was just great as always! I learned so much and I have been happily applying those things into the work! Another thing that was nice was district meeting. I presented a training on Ether 12:7 talking about faith and different experiences on the mission, and both the trials that we pass through as missionaries, as well as the opportunities that confront us daily to try our own faith! I told the elders that I want to have amazing powerful experiences each and every day of my mission, and I do. I want to sprint to the finish. Together we discussed the chapters that we need the most help with together as a district and made a plan of how we will each individually and collectively apply all the topics from Preach My Gospel, and not only become preach my gospel missionaries, but become the missionaries that God sees in us. Just alone this week I have had amazing opportunities at doing just that. I have made a bigger effort in talking to everyone that I get an opportunity to, and I have been shocked. Just yesterday we were traveling in a matatu and I decided to contact the driver (I was sitting in the front seat) and shortly there after I got his contacts to meet later, BUT then I had a prompting to talk to the person on the other side of me. I said "would you like a book as well?" and all of a sudden he said "yes" and that he had been listening to me talk the whole time and that he has a best friend in Salt Lake City right now and that he has been looking for the church for a very long time. If I hadn't been in the middle of both of them I probably would have fallen off my seat. My jaw just dropped! I got his phone number as well and we have plans to meet soon, which will be awesome.
We have some amazing investigators progressing towards baptism right now, and we are all very excited to finish the lessons with them!
I love this gospel! I love Christ! I love God! We have also been invited back to that Hindu temple that I had mentioned a few months ago! It should be a nice time with a wonderful discussion! I love it here in my mission!!!
I guess Conner and Aanika were once again too busy praying to email this week... bbbbbblllllll... Anyways, I love you guys I hope your week was awesome!
