Elder Hirst week 93
9:22 AM
Monday- p day was rather
uninteresting. Don't even remember what we did to be completely honest. But
i know we played lots of ping pong. That evening we were able to go to
the family home evening and Martin actually came as well and really enjoyed it.
Tuesday- today we had exchanges
with the elders from Elche, Elder Smithson and Elder Wood. I was with elder
wood and he's super awesome. He's from San Bernardino California and a convert
of a couple years. He's a really solid missionary and we were able to talk with
lots of people in the street and teach a less active we've just started working
with, and it went super well. The rest of the night we really just focused on
finding people and i learned a lot form elder wood.
Wednesday- we continued the exchange
and just spent the whole morning talking with tons of people in the street, and
then we taught Martin in the morning and it went well. He's really
progressing. Then that night we just had lots of ward meeting and ward
choir practice and it was fun, but I have to sing tenor now.
Thursday- we had weekly planning
that morning. Just 7 more of those!!! Then we had lunch with some members and
there actually was a girl there who just got home from her mission, and she was
actually in the Milan Italy mission, so she was with my cousin Anziano Hogan.
Haha small world. Then that evening we taught Martin with his aunt and they had
some great questions about baptism. Then that night we had a meeting with
the stake presidency and it was really awesome, i love the stake presidency
here they are such solid leaders and great examples. They're all super
young too! It was a great meeting and then they took us out to dinner.
Friday- we had interviews in the
morning with president and it went really well, i found out that i will most
likely be finishing my mission here in alicante which I'm super happy
about. Then that evening we taught Martin again and we put his baptismal
date for the 18th of June because he's progressing way well. He knows he needs
to be baptized, so that's super awesome. Then the APs were up here for
the zone conference the next day, and so i went with elder Dunham to visit the
recent convert Dunham. Elder Dunham was the elder who baptized angel and we had
surprised him and it was awesome to see, Angel was so excited to see Elder
Dunham.
Saturday- we had the most
incredible zone conference I have ever had in my mission. Elder Gay from
the quorum of the 70 spoke at our conference. He actually was the first
missionary to ever serve in this stake. He opened up these areas to missionary
work and to see that this area turned from nothing when he first was there to a
strong stake here in Spain was amazing. Elder Gay shared some of the most incredible things I've ever heard. I loved it. I also had to direct the
meeting so that was scary. I was sat up on the stand next to a 70 and a couple
of area 70s and president Andersen, and it was pretty frightening.
Hermana dos Santos. She was in Alex ward in England
Sunday- church was both
disappointing but good. Disappointing just because Martin didn't come but
we found out that he had to go to Murcia that morning. But it was great because
the less active person we have been working with came to church for the first
time in a long time, and enjoyed it. Many member talked with him and he said
he'd come the following week. Also Elder gay gave a fireside and it too was
extremely incredible.
This sister was in Elder Hirst cousin Willy's mission in Milan
