We had a pretty crazy week this week. On Monday we did our zone P-day, we basically just played chair soccer in the gym and some other stuff. Not super amazing but it was still really fun.
Following that we went on exchange with the Zone Leaders in Manchester. If I am being honest I spent most of the day in the office making a big calendar for Light the World, it turned out pretty well. We also help set up a Creches and Carols exhibit in the gym of the Manchester chapel. It was super cool because there were hundreds of nativity sets (Creche(s)?) and they were all lit up with nice mood lighting and Christmas trees and stuff.
Sister Blair also brought President Hinckley's personal nativity that she had inherited! it was really cool!
Elder Smith and I also went contacting with the sisters on the streets of Concord during the Midnight Merriment event, it was super fun! we pulled a hot Chocolate wagon and talked to people about Jesus! (pictures to follow)
Following exchanges President and Sister Blair gave our zone a training on how we can be successful. One of the things that he emphasised was obedience. President Blair had me stand up in front of everybody with my hands up and he would wrap a piece of twine around my wrists as he had the other missionaries list all the little rules that we are asked to keep. Of course eventually the cords were so many that they were thick and could not be broken.
President Blair than lead me around the room with the thick rope around my neck and talked about how transgression leads us away from our Heavenly Father. As we let disobedience guide us, We become controlled by our habits and we deny Heavenly Father's promised blessings.I know that we are blessed based on obedience to the commandments and our personal conversion to the Savior Jesus Christ.
I Hope that you all have a great rest of your week and that we can all come to know Christ better during this special season when we remember him.
If you haven't seen it already, the Church is doing their Christmas Initiative with Light the World! Its a super great way that we can serve one another Just as Christ did. Be sure to check it out!
I hope that you all have a great week! Love you!
