Career???

This week was pretty dang cool!  Elder Peck and I got to go teach early morning seminary at a members home.  Even though we had a really awkward subject (Bathsheba), it was awesome!  I love being able to teach teenagers, maybe because I still am one, it's so enjoyable!!  As we were teaching, I was thinking to myself, "How great would this be to do this everyday? You get to learn the gospel more and more and you get to interact with the youth."  So who knows, maybe when I get home I will be a Seminary Teacher.

Also this week, we randomly went to go teach the Mallory's (a recent convert and husband who just became active for the first time in 47 years) and found out that Bro. Mallory had an interview to get the Priesthood!!  As we talked about the Priesthood, we could tell that he was nervous and excited about it but the best part was that he understood how important it is.  He wanted to learn about all the responsibilities and duties so that he could do his best to fulfill all that he was asked to do.  It was pretty inspiring and made me look at the Priesthood in a different way!  On Sunday, Elder Peck and I were able to stand in the circle and be a part of giving him the Aaronic Priesthood, it was awesome!  I am so excited for him and can't wait to help him move closer to the Temple!

This upcoming week is going to be so cool!  We have a Family Home Evening planned with our investigator family, the Jenkins, at the Stake Presidents house, it is going to be so fun!  We also have a baptism planned for Kelsey this Saturday, and possibly her sister, Rylee, the same day or the following week, we don't know for sure!

The work has been progressing, people are actually listening to us and enjoy us coming over to their house!  Sadly transfers are in two weeks, so hopefully i don't get moved, Crestview is a dang weird place but I love it and don't want to leave!

I love you all and hope that you have a great week!!

Love Elder Schipaanboord!

 

Brother Tew killed all these deer and elk.  Elder Peck and him made fun of me for being a city boy and wanting a picture.
