Week six. The longest week of the transfer because everyone is waiting for Saturday night when we find out our fate for the next six weeks.
March 14, 2017: We went tracting with M which was really good. I was able to learn how to have a better door approach. That was a lot of fun. Then we started exchanges with the Zone Leaders because they had a dinner and meeting simultaneously. I went with Elder M to the meeting which was good. Then we went tracting after trying a referral we got right after the meeting.
Spiritual: Keep trying and you will see success.
March 15, 2017: We were on exchanges which was good. District meeting was great as normal. After district meeting we took the Zone leader's member that was on a "mini misssion" out with us tracting and we got a few potential return appointments set which was neat. I felt like my door approach was a lot better than in the past which was nice. Then we ended exchanges so we could each go to our respective dinners. Then we tried potentials for a bit before trying some less actives which was fun as well.
Spiritual: As you learn you will get better.
March 16, 2017: We did service which was alright before we went to try potentials for a while which had no real success. Then we went tracting which was also not very successful but good anyway. After dinner we planned the mutual activity for this upcoming Tuesday and that was a lot of fun.
Spiritual: Even if you do not succeed but you were doing your best you will know you are going to be blessed.
March 17, 2017: We tried to find a new service opportunity in Windsor but could not. On the way Elder C (Vehicle Coordinator) called and asked if I had my license. That told us that Elder S and I were not going to be companions next transfer. Then the ZLs called AP C to tell him that Elder S was too apostate to be a Zone leader. To that C asked if he had already gotten his phone call which told us that S is becoming a Zone leader. Then we went to the APs apartment and were shown the new Easter video and it is awesome, and Elder S was also told his area and companion which was cool. After that we went and did weekly planning which took up the rest of the day until dinner.
Spiritual: Sometimes one small thing can say a great deal more than it might first appear.
March 18, 2017: We started with studies before Elder S got a call from President confirming what AP C had said. Then about two hours later I got a call from AP C calling me to be a District leader but refused to tell me anything else. Then we went and did service before we had two potential lessons before returning to service. After service we tried some potentials which was good we were able to talk with a less active which was really cool before we went to the church to wait for transfer information where we also talked with the Spanish sisters. At about 9:15 we got transfer news. I am staying in Greeley Spanish as District leader with Elder M, Elder S is going to be a ZL in Laramie, Elder A is being demoted to normal missionary,(also going to Laramie) and that is it for my main circle other than the fact that Hermana Z is training here in Greeley and Hermana L is joining the Spanish trio in FoCo.
Spiritual: You never know what to expect when you are anxiously waiting for news. More often than not it is better than you expected.
March 19, 2017: We had church which was good, it was focused on the power of prayer for the most part. Afterwards our branch mission meeting was good. Then we tried potentials for awhile before we went to visit a few people Elder S wanted to see before he leaves.
Spiritual: Prayer is the only way we can talk to god which is why it is so important.
March 20, 2017: Today we are going on a hike this one very short compared to the last one which will be nice. Then we will probably not do too much as Elder S will need to pack. That will probably be our day.
Spiritual: Change is good even when it is hard.
God be with you till we meet again
I asked Joshua if he was excited to stay and he said yes because he can use and learn his Spanish better in the branch he is serving in. His new companion is from Arizona. Their is at least 4 Spanish speaking Elders in his mission which is a high # since their are not that many of them. He said the hike this week was alot easier then last week since it was not snowpacked.
Hike in Fort Collins. Joshua with his companion, his Zone Leaders and the Sister Missionaries in their District.
