Hey Everyone!
Well it looks like winter is coming since this week we've had many days of suit-coat-weather. This week has been pretty interesting, and since I chose to listen to the CES devotional during email time today you guys are going to have a shortened email... so to make up for it you should watch the devotional - it's pretty neat! Check it out here: https://www.lds.org/
Anyway, this week had a couple notable things - first off that we got to go to the Oklahoma City zoo last week for Sister Curtis' birthday where I took tons of pictures and we had a blast! They had the Halloween decorations up, so it was particularly exciting and full of things to take pictures of. But, I don't have time today to go through the pictures, so you'll have to wait in suspense until I get around to it. That night we had a blast with the visits that we had with people and the wonderful dinner appointment we were able to have. On Tuesday we got to help a couple in the ward in the morning and had lunch with them, before heading out to try and see people and didn't have much luck. We had a sweet dinner appointment before our scripture study class that night where we got to talk about building a sure foundation - the same thing Elder Hallstrom talks of in the CES devotional and it was pretty sweet. We watched this video:Video! In addition we discussed some of the following scriptures:
- Helaman 5:9-12
- Psalm 71:3
- Jacob 4:14-16
- Matthew 7:24-27
- Mosiah 4:9-10
- Alma 48:7-10
- Jacob 4:6
- Alma 33:22-23
On Wednesday we got to help a couple in the ward move down the street, which was pretty fun and then saw a few people before the ward Halloween party, which was super intense! There was a ton of people there, and we had a fantastic chili cook-off (of which we were the judges along with the sisters), with a ton of other activities and such. There were games/challenges in the rooms along the hallway and in the foyer and there was a photo booth and then at the end there was an awesome trunk-or-treat! There were quite a few less active members and friends from other faiths there, and it was an awesome chance to meet more of the members of this giant ward.
On Thursday there was much less of note that happened, though we did have to say goodbye to Sister Champlin, a recent convert who is moving back down to Pensacola and is probably there by now. I was pretty out of it most the day with an intense headache, but we did get to have dinner with an awesome family in the ward. Friday was Halloween, which was exciting in and of itself since we had to be inside by 6pm instead of the typical 9. There were a couple other exciting things that happened, but I don't have time to talk about those, or really much of anything else since I still have other emails to write today :( I hope you have a fantastic week! Love ya!
'Til Next Time,
Elder Jordan Nielson
