I am having a lot of fun training... It is
hard, but I have learned a ton from elder Darrington. This week we had
the first 3 weeks training meeting. It was fun because that meant we
were able to go to Chiclayo and see a lot of my friends from the
mission. Like always, president Williams gave a great lesson and his
wife too. They always teach in a way that just invites the spirit to
help us know what we need to do to improve. My highlights of the meeting
was that Elder Darrington said the prayer to finish. The best part is
that he did an amazing job...
Then we had the
opportunity to do service in two different opportunities. First was Thursday in the morning, we had planned to just go out a teach, but when
we passed by the church there were a couple members there to do some
service. The coolest part was that a member of the ward Kennedy was
there. It was really cool to see him again. He works for the church in
the maintenance and fixing of all the church building in, what I believe
the Chiclayo mission. So, we hurried and changed our clothes and worked.
I felt like I was back in my first area working side by side with Hno
Daniel. The project we did was we repainted the lines for the
soccer-basketball court. It was actually really enjoyable. We put tape
down, and then afterward we painted the white lines for basketball and
soccer and then a yellow line for volleyball. At the end we took all the
tape of which was a ton and rolled them up into huge tape balls. We
started playing around with the balls throwing them like footballs and
kicking them around.
The second opportunity was that we
cleaned out the outside of the what they call the high school so that
they could have a annual party for the school. IT was just a lot of
sweeping and picking up trash.. but it is always fun to mix in service
in the week.
Sunday
we went to a multi stake conference of the area of Bolivia and Peru. It
was cool... The only thing is the church we had to travel to had a lot
of technical difficulties... The speakers spoke about temples, Christlike attributes... and a lot of great experiences. The speakers
were elder Nash... elder Anderson... Elder Uceda.. and others.. They all
were in salt lake city, apart from elder Uceda which pre filmed his
talk...
I am really enjoying studying the
scriptures.. I am learning so much and it is strengthening my desire to
keep working and studying. I am reading the book of Mormon from the back
until the front. weird, but I have found a lot of answers and I have
received some great incites this way.
This week
that will not be pictures... because this computer is really sketchy
and I do not trust my pictures with this computer.
Well love you all a ton
Elder Mecham
