Another week has already gone by here in Ponca City, and what a fast week it was! This week was Halloween - not the best holiday for missionaries, but still a good week! We got to do quite a bit of service - helping people move, and help chop up firewood in preparation for winter.
Well some highlights from this week - aside from service! This week I got to visit with a buddy from BYU, which was sweet. He's actually from Blackwell, OK - the town just northwest of Ponca, and he's leaving on his mission THIS Wednesday. So, pray for Chad :) He's awesome (he was in my ward Fall semester at BYU), so it was fun to be able to chat with him for a little while.
This week we also had the typical halloween activity - Trunk or Treat! It went over pretty well, as we had about 20 non-members there and over 100 members came, so that was awesome :) The activity was a blast, and the candy was quite tasty!
Then there was Halloween itself... which wasn't as fun since we had to be inside by 5pm. Which was really early... the trick or treating didn't even really start until about 7, but that was okay :) A member brought us some Chili dogs to eat, so that was nice. We also had some candy to hand out (Thanks Aunt Lilly!), so we didn't get egg'd ;)
Friday I got to go on an exchange to the other side of town... which was awesome! The other side of town has some great people to work with, but they're pretty hard to catch so it's tough sometimes. But, the exchange went well and I learned quite a bit about how I can better approach people I don't know - which is always helpful.
Well, that's this week in a nutshell! If you wanted more details... too bad. I don't really have time to type more ;) So this week I've been working on finding connections between different scriptures and studying a few different topics, which was fun. Mormon chapter 7 is probably one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon. Go Read it. Like Now.
Aside from that, here are some scriptures I've been finding connections between... I won't tell you the connections - that would be too simple, so try and find some yourself!
- Alma 41:10
- Mosiah 3:19
- 2 Nephi 9:39-40
- 2 Nephi 2:11
- D&C 121:36,39
- 1 Corinthians 2:13-16
- Moses 1:11
- Matthew 5:48
- Mosiah 5:2
I hope you all have a great week!
Love ya!
'Til Next Time,
Elder Nielson
