Hey Peeps!

Hey peeps!

This week was good! We had a really good Specialized Training meeting with the Westland Zones that was all about helping members become better member missionaries. And it just went in depth about how and what we can help members with. There was a "panel" of members that were invited to come. We asked them a bunch of questions about their fears about why they don't share the gospel more, and learned some really good insights on how we can help members get over their fears and uncertainties. Pretty cool. We also found out that our mission is one of the first that is slated to have the new technology. ie. Ipad minis :)

By the way, my mission president is the bomb.com. He really is. I'm not sure how to explain exactly how or why, but he is :)

Cool story about how boss the bishop is. We went to the his house this week for dinner, and afterwards when we were about to leave, he pulls this monster 50. rifle out of a closet and is like "thought you might like to see this". We were like... What?!? Yeah!! It was sweet. I didn't touch it of course, because that is against the rules, but he said it weighs 32lbs :)

I got sick for the first time on my mission this week! Well, the first time if you don't count having bronchitis as getting sick. Last Monday, and we were driving to a member's home for dinner, I suddenly felt like throwing up. I don't know why, and I ate very little that day, so I don't know what from, but I felt nasty. But I end up throwing up at the member's house (in the toilet, so it was okay) and I felt better for like 10 minutes, and then I felt like throwing up again. But by then we had already left, and we went on an exchange with the Zone Leader. So I was with the ZL's companion in his area for that night and the next day not feeling too good. By Wednesday, I felt pretty good, but somewhere along the line, I got diarrhea. So at Specialized Training, Sister Gerber told be to take some pepto bismol, which I started taking Thursday evening, and by Saturday, I was pretty much fixed. It was pretty weird.

Anyways, that's all for this week! Hope you enjoyed hearing about how I got sick and stuff :)
