Hey everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful week!
Once again somehow a few days turned out to be a week. This week how fast time
has really gone has finally hit me. This last Tuesday was our zone conference.
It was absolutely amazing and I learned a lot! President McClure is the best
leader that could possibly be here. We learned a lot how to bring more miracles
into our mission and have increased our drive to do so. At the end of zone
conference though, we have all the dying missionaries give a testimony. What
really hit me though was that one of my MTC district sisters was up there too!
It's official starting today that all my sisters will be done. It really
doesn't feel like they should be leaving yet but that time has already come. Pretty soon it will be me up there and I will probably
feel like it's a bad joke of some sort.
This week we also had the Christmas party which was
really awesome! Before the party started we had a non-member volunteer to
come early and help with the set-up. We very gratefully accepted his offer.
What we had not expected though was for him to turn out to be a self-referral.
We met this guy in the grocery store and he called out to us. It turned out he
was a friend of a member. We exchanged numbers and a few weeks pass and he
shows up and is like I would really like to hear more about your church. He is
an awesome guy who has gone from church to church trying to find a faith he can
really believe. What he was most impressed about our church though was how
often we use words like "love, appreciation, amazing, thank you" and
so forth. It was a really great lesson. As for the party, a lot of people came
and it went really well! As the missionaries we did the "Helping
Hands" comedy performance. We did it on the daily life of a missionary.
It went really well and we were able to share a message on Jesus Christ and the
meaning of Christmas. At the end of the party we gave Books of Mormon in which
we had members write their testimonies and wrap as presents to the people who
came in attendance. In all it was really great and really tiring! The best kind
of day.
That pretty much sums up my week. The rest of the time
was mostly spent finding or preparing for the Christmas party. Anyway I hope
you all have a great week leading up to CHRISTMAS! I'm looking forward to
writing to you all again on Christmas (Monday).
Love you,
Elder Harvey
The Hakodate Zone Conference (a regional training meeting for missionaries) took place this week and the mission president's wife posted pictures on Facebook. Here are some with Zach in them.
