Monday: April 6th
We got a call from President, calling me and Elder Samojla to be the technology specialists in our mission! We attended a 2 hour zoom meeting with a few General Authorities that cover the North America Central Area for our missions! We felt so inferior, haha. We got trained on how to implement the new facebook initiative into our mission. It was like drinking from a fire hose :) I had some really good conversations with my family after! I love them all so much, every goof! ;) It was definitely a refreshing day, one that makes me hopeful for the future!
Bible Boys!
We went to our two District councils today and made some more plans to work with the members. We had another meeting with President Rees to talk more about the new facebook initiative! Hopefully we can continue to help spread the Gospel and reach more people than we ever could with this new era of how to do missionary work.
Wednesday: April 8th
We had an awesome lesson with Angela! She explained how excited she was for her baptism. She's been seeking for a lot of peace in her life, especially from her troubled past, and hasn't found it. And now, through following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ, she can be healed and be filled with the peace she's needed for so long! What a wonderful opportunity to still bring the Spirit into people's lives, even if we are quarantined to our apartment 24/7. Missionary work is hard, but it's oh so worth it :)
Feelin... Lucky? :)
Thursday: April 9th
Today we took another Elder to the airport to go home. This means Elder Wade is leaving the trio to be with the other Elder. No more trio! It's been two weeks, but it's certainly been such a blast. Back to just Elder Samojla and I :) We also had Zone conference today. It was so weird giving the training from our apartment, looking at a screen, and being able to talk to people across Colorado. Technology is cool
Bible Bous no more... :(
Worldwide fast! Such a great opportunity to unite worldwide underneath one cause to fast for this pestilence to reside.
We found our first cockroach... today we watched in horror as a big cockroach scurried across our floor while we were eating. Elder Samojla threw his shoe and nailed it but it didn't die. Someone help us! Haha :)
ANOTHER ONE: Chromebook Fiasco
President Rees gave us a call at 8pm telling us we needed to go to the store immediately and buy a chromebook for our technology specialist facebook initiative! The store closes at 8:30... So me and Elder Samojla started sprinting inside Walmart like flippin maniacs! Haha :) We finally found the chromebooks. There were only two left in stock and the total cost was $366!! We called President Rees and they wouldn't allow over the phone transactions... uh-oh... what are we going to do now? Well let me tell you! :) I got to call my dad and use my personal card TO BUY BOTH Chromebooks! Oh my gosh that's the most money I've spent in my entire life. Me and Elder Samojla walked out of that Walmart looking so happy, haha! Also the entire time we had to wear our masks so you all you see is just two missionaries with masks on sprinting to the back of the Walmart store to buy a chromebook.... nice! Great day
Saturday: April 11th
Today we spent all day working on setting up our facebook pages. It was bad, we didn't go outside once! I probably have a permanent butt print on my chair from sitting on it so long, haha! We had a meeting with President and he tasked us to train 6 new facebook technology specialists! They are all Sisters, meaning they are SO much better than Elder Samojla and I at all this technology stuff haha.
Sunday: April 12th
Yet another day working on the chromebook setting up facebook pages and drafting proposal to President. At 7pm we actually hold a Facebook LIVE event each week! I haven't talked much about it, but feel free to invite your friends, family, and anyone who'd like to watch it! It's on my facebook page. Elder Samojla and I mainly answer questions about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our faith, while sharing uplifting scriptures and personal experiences. Whoever is reading this, we'd love for you to join us! 7pm Sunday :)
Sorry this was late, me and Elder Samojla have been very busy with all this facebook initiative! Feel free to follow us and our pages at @TheChurchofJesusChristInGrandJunction
Love,
