Hello family!
Wow this week has been nuts. Thank you for sending all those
pictures and letters every week. I love seeing them and all the fun things you
are doing together as a family. It gets me pumped to see them. I love our
family. We had a very busy week. Saw tons of cool miracles in the zone too! At
the end of every month we have a bunch a big meeting with all the zone leaders
and sister training leaders to council about things in the mission. Lots of
cool trainings from President and the Assistants. Our new monthly focus is
making love our motivator and inviting people to be baptized in the first or
second lesson. We did a big zone meeting this morning, Elder Drewes and I. Took
tons of prep and a pretty crazy weekend but it all came together today. We have
such a great zone, so many powerful missionaries. I love teaching with them and
being around all of them. Its very easy to make friends as a missionary. We are
all a family.
We have two main investigators right now. One is named
Ne---. Dominican. We have gone over the past few weeks and really helped him
focus on coming to church. We committed him last week and he was all in to go
but he never showed up on Sunday. We were bummed. We will be focusing mainly on
baptism this upcoming week.
Our other investigator right now is named Ro---. He has a
wife and kids, but they are never home. He wants to learn more but is stuck in
his mindset of beliefs. We are trying to help him break through the barriers. I
love him though.
Had a big mission softball tournament on Monday. We won our
first game, and the second game was going well until we got three outs super
fast and the other zone scored on us. It was fun. The whole northern half of
the mission came. Sister Taggart made hot dogs and lemonade and there were
cracker jacks. Ha it was super fun. Our zone played like champs. Some solid
hitters and catchers we just choked in the third and last inning we played. Fun
to see all the missionaries again.
Very tired the last few days. Super busy. Now we won't have
any major meetings for a few weeks where we have to plan for. So now time to
focus on some exchanges and our area as well. We are really looking to find
more people to teach. Starting to contact a few more people and really bring
the spirit to connect with them. Super tired. Ready to sleep. Ha I will get
caught up the next few nights. Loving things out here. Its so fun being with
all these awesome missionaries and people here in Jersey.
We are headed to court next week for a parking violation.
Should be interesting.
Love you all so much!
Elder Sumsion
