WEEK 27 – July 20, 2014
6 months in the mission has gone by! Wow... It's been a good week.

P-day was good we had nothing planned
but then a member called and invited us to go to an amusement park that was in
the process of testing rides. It was towards Jakarta. We went and it was pretty fun! They didn’t
have anything bigger than Gold Rush, but they had a ride that drops you
vertically which are my favorite!! Elder
Mendrofa was so scared to ride any of them, but we got him to anyways!!

Tuesday
Today we taught Jimmy Simon (the guy Elder Hobbs and I met on the bus a few months ago) and
then proselyted then came home because Elder Sadiyono was having an asthma
attack so he came home and cooled down.
Wednesday
We went back to Jimmy Simon’s
house because he wanted a Bible so we taught him from the New Testament. You could really
feel the spirit in the lesson! That night I had nasi goreng for dinner.
Thursday
Last night’s nasi goreng ripped through me like a ride from the
amusement park on Monday ... completely destroyed my insides . Today we did our
weekly planning which takes forever! After
that we went to Sister Lily’s house! Off in the distance huge dark clouds
were coming and we got soaked so bad coming home! Just drenched but it was funny!
Friday
We had our District meeting which was 2 hours and then we taught English class. I’m getting pretty good at teaching, except we only have 3 students right now. After class we went to get padung for dinner. Random meat in a really good sauce!

Saturday
We had a lesson with our new
member which went great, and then we went contacting people. Saturday was very slow, however.
Sunday
Well church was normal and good
all the lessons were on don't be lazy! So that’s always a good one :) Except our new baptized lady hasn't been to
church since we baptized her :( but we
still meet each week so idk what’s going on there? We had to clean the church and I spilt the
whole mop bucket on the tile which took me 20 minutes to mop back up.

My shower water holder thing

This volcano is called
gunung salak, do you see the smoke coming out? |

Well, that's all for this week. You asked me how has being out on my mission for 6 months changed me?
My testimony has grown a lot. My knowledge of the gospel has as well. I’ve
become more compassionate and patient and I speak another language and know
about a lot of different religions.
I hope you all have a good week and be safe!

P.S. here are some pictures from last week
