Staying and Becoming an Old Dog

Hey Everyone!
This week marks my first day as Senior companion! I will be greenie busting a spanking new missionary who is just coming onto the island. I am not sure how to spell his name, so I will keep you posted when I actually meet him. His trainer is a great guy, so I am expecting great things!

Food:
This week we got to go to a member's place to have a BBQ with them because of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone is BBQing. So we made all this stuff and I got to contact tons of referrals and get them sent out all over the place. That was really fun. We had some really amazing bacon-golden-mushroom rolls. I would have to say that though the taste was great, the texture was even better! I give them 5 greasy golden gastronomies out of 5.

Verbatim (new section): Regarding what he learned in studies, Elder Lin said that he didn't learn too much, instead he "Wo3 jue2de wo3 hua1le bi3jiao4 duo1 shi2jian1 gen1 Sa1dan4 dui4kang4". (I feel like i spent more time battling with Satan). This was because he was dozed off a couple times.

This week had some great miracles. We found an amazing guy who is actually a referral from another area and he might just turn out to be the one who can go the distance. I am terribly excited to be working with him. I will keep you posted.

A little while back, I made a member plan and I've finally put it into action. The members here had no relationship with the missionaries really. So I've been stopping by and sharing short five minute scriptures or messages with them and then asking for referrals. It's been really good because we try and have contact pretty much everyday with some member in some form, even if it's just writing them a little note. Yesterday , I saw a great result. One of the super active members shared that when we had gone over the other day and shared a message about studying the scriptures with pictures and gospel art book, we had reminded her of this way to have revelation. She said that even having been a member for 20 some years, this really helped her out. It was a very touching testimony.

Outta time!
Love,
Elder Siebert
