really great week this past week. we were able to stay really busy and get lots accomplished.
mon: we had a successful fun pday of seeing old companions and old members! (an old member made a few of us that are leaving soon a big dinner. it was lots of fun)
tues: we had district meeting, a made everyone sit on the floor and we raced to put together puzzles. one group had a little bit of time to prepare their pieces before they started, the other group had no prep time. needless to say, the first group kicked trash. we then read some scriptures about preparation and we talked about why being spiritually prepared for everyday life (as a missionary and after we're done with our missions) is so important. I think it was fun!
wed: we helped someone move and then had a great lesson with the hjerpes at the bishops house. Bishop's son recently return from his mission in Kenya (aka where the hjerpes are from) so we looked at all his mission pictures. and then we ate cookies!
thurs: we were on exchanges with the Span-Ams. I went to their area, so I just did a lot of nodding and smiling, and didn't say a lot lol.
fri: we had a leadership training meeting for most of the day. I got to see some of my friends and say goodbye to a lot of people. (anyone that isn't going to be at transfers in a few weeks, this was the last time i'll see them)
sat: we had a ward breakfast first thing in the morning. then we had baptisms for Brandon and Ness! that alone would have made it a great week.
sun: Brandon and Ness were confirmed! and then we had great meetings all day!
I don't think this week will be as exciting, but im sure we will find some way to make it fun and get a lot done.
hope you all have a great week!
love,
elder Donovan :)

10 June 2013
we had a couple days over 110 degrees this week. good times.
On Tuesday, with the other missionaries at our weekly meeting, I threw a Humility Poetry Slam. it was awesome! the winning poems closing line was, "humble is to Superman, as pride is to not Superman". haha, we aren't the best poets but everyone had fun.
on Friday we helped someone move, and It took almost all day. there was one tiny pick up truck and it took about 8 trips. but we had fun.
our new favorite family is Sakina, Sharron, Ness, and Sasha. they are awesome! we're going to have a baptism for them on the 22nd, if all goes well. (knock on wood)(crossing our fingers)(praying as hard as we can). they might have to move. AGHHHHHHHH. story of my life. somebody suggested we just start building houses. im about to do it.
this morning we all piled in a big van and drove into the mountains. its always a fun time when we can get out of town and go explore a little bit. we went about 3 miles and found a "water fall" (water drizzle coming off a cliff).
hope all is well.
