Fun times with the Mission Pres!

There are 2 really cool things that I will tell you about this week. One was going with President Gelwix and the other…the ward activity we had. Last Thursday evening President Gelwix went out with us to go see one of our investigators and the “A”. family. At first I was a little nervous because I was like "oh geez i better not mess up teaching", but as the lesson went on it got better. I taught about the A,B,C,D,E of Repentance. A for Admit...B for Be sorry ...C for Confess...D for Don't do it again... and E for Endure to the end. My trainer talked about Faith and President Gelwix talked about Baptism. Overall everything for that appointment went well.
After that we went to Sister “A’s” house and we were going to teach her daughter Anna about "the plan of salvation". When I finished talking about the pre-mortal life, President Gelwix jumped in and took over the lesson haha. He went on for 40 minutes talking about prayer and how it doesn't matter how long or short it is. All that matters is that you are sincere and speak from the heart. Sister “A” then talked about how she wishes we sang more upbeat songs in church like "Jesus Music" and President Gelwix said " me too" haha. We left her with the challenge to pray more as a family each day for one week and to see the blessings from it.
We then went to go see Brother “B” and help prepare him for receiving the higher priesthood. On the way to his house President Gelwix turned on the radio and we were listening to some Christian rock songs and said " when your with the mission president you get the bend the rules a bit" haha. randomly he said that the "protestant in him lovessss Jesus music". When we got to the house the guy wasn't home so we decided to call it a night.
So….the other cool thing…..….my Ward had a pie activity day. There were so many different pies and they were all sooooo good. I took some pictures of it but I forgot to bring my camera with me. I will send them to dad next Monday. My companion and I were part of a pie game and you had to find 10 gumballs that were hidden in the pie. My companion ( Elder Fisi'ihoi ) won by a long shot hahaha. Thank you for your letter and I will mail my letter for you today. I can't wait to hear from you and everyone again!
