On Monday, we had a great pday! the zone met up for lunch at a members house and that was awesome. Then, we went to the Olympic Training Center afterwards and that was so awesome. We got some souvenirs at the store there and then headed back up to the church to play some sports.
On Tuesday, it snowed pretty good and they told us to park our cars for the morning so we made some phone calls in the meantime. Nobody would answer though. at like 11, things cleared up enough so we could get out there. We did service at the YMCA afterwards and that was good. We had a lesson set up with an investigator but they canceled on us last minute. So we went tracting and were able to set up a lesson with a guy who is really interested! It was super great. We were out super late keeping busy, so we had dinner when we came back to the apartment.
On Wednesday, we did service at the nursing home and I wrecked at bingo this time! I got a blackout before everyone else so I got to pick out a prize from the prize box haha so I got a lavender air freshener!! It's a real luxury haha. After that, we got to go to the US Air Force Academy, or USAFA to meet with one of the cadet recent converts, Ben. We had a great lesson and were able to share with him the easter video that the church put out. WHICH is awesome, so you all should watch it here at Mormon.org. There are also awesome sub-videos to watch too. He really liked the lesson and wants to share it with his nonmember friends:) afterwards, we got to go see the academy chapel on base which is beautiful! It's made for all people to worship in and is really cool.
Then we went with Gilbert to meet with this guy that we called on the phone. none of us knew him but we knew his name was Ahid. So met him at Panera Bread and he asked a lot of good questions. He is Muslim and had a hard time understanding some of the answers we gave him. It was good and he wants to meet with us again before he moves away from the Springs. Afterwards, Gilbert took us to this awesome place for dinner called Albertacos. It was a busy night!
On Thursday, we had to take some Elders to the dentist who were in a biking area. So while we waited for them there, we planned out our next week. We did a lot of stop bys in the afternoon and tried to contact those who they had been working with. Before dinner, we went to a lesson with Jhazmine and it was great! Her brother is getting more and more interested in the gospel! Dinner was with the Searings, who are the Just Serve missionaries. Their daughter Caroline was there as well as Elder Hagman and Elder Briggs who I haven't seen in a while! Then we went straight to institute and that was great. He was excited to hear that my dad does the same thing. Dom, Jhazmine's brother also showed up so that was great!!
On Saturday, we went to a park with all of the other YSA missionaries and contacted people there. We were able to get a new investigator there and that was so cool! beforehand we all had lunch at some taco trucks:) After that, we had a meeting with a lot of missionaries and President Rehm to help the YSA wards build their teaching pool. We got lists of all the YSA age people from everyone in our boundaries and are going to see if we can contact and invite them to YSA! This is going to be really good and President is expecting us to do good things with it. So we went out and got everything sorted out. Dinner was at our place late, so we stayed out working hard.
On Sunday, we had ward council in the morning and then church was afterwards! I got to meet a ton of people who are cadets at the academy and others who are in the Springs. Church was really great and we got to have some good spiritual upliftment. After church, we had some lessons with some sadets and then we went out with Gilbert and went tracting! We were able to hand out a Book of Mormon and it was a great experience for Gilbert. Dinner was out in Black Forest and so we drove out there and had a great dinner with the Lorenc family. It was a great week this week and we are looking forward to this next week too!
Thanks for all the support and I love you all!
