Week 22/29

This week has been an interesting week.

January 23, 2017: We had district P-day which was fun-ish, we played basketball and it was alright. Me and Elder H moved fully into our new apartment which has been really nice as it is much larger and actually has a kitchen. 
Spiritual: Find something that can help you relieve stress and do it from time to time.

January 24, 2017: We spent a few hours cleaning the old apartment really well and so were mostly done with it, thank goodness. We had dinner with the ward mission leader which was amazing. We spent a bit of time talking about the ward party on that Friday to get things cleared up.
Spiritual: Cleaning while can be time consuming is truly a blessing as a whole.

January 25, 2017: We watched the world wide missionary broadcast which was superb. They talked about the missionary work around the world and how to implement what was discussed the previous year. They also made some changes to the missionary schedule which was also cool. After the broadcast we had district meeting to discuss the broadcast. Following District meeting we started an exchange, me with Elder V and Elder H with Elder M 
Spiritual: Even the leaders of the church are still learning, so never think that you are alone.

January 26, 2017: We were on exchanges until about 2 when we ended them. After the exchanges we went to the old apartment to find out what else we needed to do. Following that we had dinner with the B family and were asked to talk about what we did to prepare for our missions because of stake conference being so much on missionary work and service. 
Spiritual: Share ways with youth who are planning on serving missions about how you prepared yourself for your own.

January 27, 2017: We did weekly planning with the new Key indicators which was interesting. Following that we had dinner and a lesson with J and P which was really good. Following dinner we spoke with the ward mission leader for a minute or so about the next night's party. Then we went and had a lesson with J which was good her mom had asked for a blessing which we gave and it was cool.
Spiritual: You focus on what you report so if you want to do better at something then make it where you have to report on it.

January 28, 2017: We helped set up and then had the ward Party. It was amazing the food was terrific and there were a few less actives and a few investigators who came for it which was awesome. After the party we helped clean up and it was a good solid day.
Spiritual ish: if you want to bring people together mention service and food and they will be there.

January 29, 2017: We had ward council which was surprisingly missionary oriented which was cool. After church and Studies we had dinner with the D family before we had a lesson with A, P, and F which was really good. We once again had good member attendance so that was awesome.
Spiritual: Members are so important to getting people to once they join the church stay in it.

God be with you till we meet again

Elder Joshua Patterson 

We mentioned to Elder Patterson that his Elementary School Speech friend had  played the piano for the fireside for the youth this past Saturday that had 2 Apostles and 3 of the 70 speak and that Briana said she had done a good job. Joshua said he knew she would do great and what an awesome honor it was for her to do this.
He is enjoying this transfer and being with Elder H.
No new pictures this week.
