Hello the Fams!!
So you guys want a run through of a missionary
day huh? First I will address some concerns: Jordan, I can't tell you exactly
what it requires for you to establish good habits, I can only tell you what
happened to me. I went into the MTC, and some of my problems just vanished,
such as waking up and going to bed on time. Other ones are a continual struggle
to completely vanquish, but I can bear testimony that any of the Lords servants
who are earnestly seeking to follow his commandments will find that he has prepared
a way for them to do so. All God asks is that we are sincerely trying to
change, Christ's atonement takes care of the rest.
Also Jimmy got baptized yesterday. I'll send
some pictures now that the computer is deciding to notice the camera again.
Now for a normal missionary day (in Quebec):
I'll do this last friday because that was a pretty good day.
•
6:30 to 8 exercise,
shower, and eat
•
8 to 11 studies
•
11 to 12 lunch
•
12 to 1 Lesson with Scott
(less active)
•
1:30 to 2:30 Lesson with
John (recent convert)
•
2:30 to 3:30 lesson with
Jimmy accompanied by John (investigator)
•
3:30 to 4:30 weekly
planning (it's Friday. normally we'd knock here)
•
4:30 to 5:30 eat dinner
•
5:30 to 6:30 pick up John
and drive to Stanstead for lesson
•
6:30 to 7:30 lesson with
Mr. and Mrs. Ruf and John (new investigators)
•
7:30 to 8:30 return to
sherbrooke
•
8:30 to 9 try to finish
weekly planning (didn't had to finish the next day)
•
9 to 9:30 nightly planning
•
9:30 to 10:30 unwind and
prepare for bed
•
10:30 bed
So that is a pretty busy day in Sherbrooke.
Some days see less lessons and more knocking and member work, but all in all
that is what it is like. It is far crazier in other missions. If you serve
somewhere in Utah you don't nightly plan I've heard. The ward mission leaders
call you and tell you what your schedule is, who you are teaching (lessons all
day every day) and what you are teaching. Elder Wilbur met someone who waited
for his visa in Orem and he had 21 baptisms in two weeks. So yea, the work
varies from place to place.
Anyway, pictures time: Me Elder Wilbur, Bishop,
Jimmy, and John
