"It's odd here in the fact that no thanksgiving isn't on the same day as it is in America. Ha it is actually in October. A few weeks back we had a Thanksgiving dinner for our zone activity. I'm glad that I was born in America for the simple fact that because of that, my birthday falls on a holiday!
"That's super exciting to hear that Cole Phair got ordained to the office of a deacon! He is just so great! Great family and great person!
"Jackson is now only a few days away from his baptism! Tonight is the baptismal interview with the DL. It is great to see him make progress!
"This past week we went over to Adelard and Marie-Claire's house and they served us Fu-Fu! it was really good actually. Ha my first Congolise dish! I think that they are really taking to the gospel but the fact that they haven't been coming to the church is the only thing keeping them from truly making progress! Hopefully that can be remedied in the upcoming weeks.
"We've had zone conference and zone study this past week. Both were great. Ha elder mcmurrin and I were asked to give a training in zone study about Less Active work. It was definitely good to get our thoughts organized on how we ourselves want to work on LAs. The training went pretty well. (It just so happened that that was the day after the elections and I was needless to say not in a good mood that morning... until after the training). Zone Conference was the next day and it was really cool because we talked a lot about KALDT. Know the Person Ask inspired questions Listen Discern Teach. This really helps us as missionaries get down to the problems and it is such an important thing. I really feel like if the youth in the church understood this principle before going out on their mission - they would be so much further ahead and just that much more prepared. The way we break into the spiritual realm is by asking questions that get them to reflect and give a response that can be highlighted by a gospel principle."
