Elder Mullins-- First thing on the list that we
did this week: There's this girl named Vanilla. She's got about a thousand
siblings. There were three or four of
them at the house when we went over on Tuesday night and we had a way good
lesson
Elder Mickelson-- Because there were a bunch of
little kids, we threw away our old lesson plan and talked about Shadrach Meshack
and Abednego.
Elder Mullins-- We were just talking about it,
teaching them this way fun lesson. We
mentioned that they were like thrown into the fire and they were burning. It
was a really fun lesson.
Elder Mickelson-- We got the kids to act it out
they were really getting involved.
Elder Mullins-- Yeah it was pretty coo,l but
then after we asked him what do we learn from this they said, “if we obey the
Commandments then God will throw us into the fire.” Right, yeah, you'll be thrown into the fire
for sure…
Elder Mickelson--- Yes there is a little bit of
fire throwing involved in keeping the commandments sometimes. That's what purifies us. It was really cool
the members that we brought were able to testify specifically about getting
thrown into the fire by not working on Sunday. That's one of the things Vanilla
struggles with
Elder Mullins-- We also got a shout-out in
church today. I'm getting thrown in the fire…Sweet!
Elder Mickelson—Yep, one of the members there
just referenced us. One of the other
things that happened this week: we had a lit district meeting. Elder Mullins and me pumped up the district.
Elder Mullins-- We took about 20 minutes of district meeting
and gave a training on our zone vision.Iit was way good.
Elder Mickelson-- Our vone vision is #calledtoflourish.
Elder Mullins--t was a way good training. We
just got them all pumped up. We talked
about how faith pushes our boundaries. It's what makes us better. Elder
Mickelson talked about how when you do the same thing over and over faith is
dormant and it doesn't work. I was
pumped up from it and I was the one giving the training. I hope everyone else
was pumped up too.
Elder Mickelson-- We got a lot of really good
results from it just really helping strengthening faith of the district and the
zone.
Elder Mullins-- The day before that just this
Monday we called home.
Elder Mickelson-- Nope we definitely called home on Tuesday.
Elder Mullins-- Oh no…awkward… Calling home was
way good.
Elder Mickelson-- Elder Mullins talked to
his family first so I think we'll let him talk about it first.
Elder Mullins-- It was fun to say hi.
Elder Mickelson-- I talked to my family. It was also fun to say hi to them.
Elder Mullins—Oh, I met your twin also.
Elder Mickelson-- Oh yeah that was cool.
Elder Mullins—It was enjoyable. Yeah definitely the highlight of the week; the
Skype home.
Elder Mickelson—Sweet! Moving on… There are two former missionaries
that ended up getting together. Elder Seagan, I was just
companions with, was on the very last day of his mission. We were on exchanges, and I told him my
parting words of advice before he left to the airport. I said, “Elder Segan, there are a lot of
single women and this KK District. You
need to marry one. He said, “okay can.” He totally got with one. They're totally
dating right now. He took my advice and
put it to action.
The gift of Prophecy in action right there
Elder Mullins--We saw this way good picture of
them. It's their WhatsApp profile.
Elder Mickelson-- One of our investigators who's
named Asmira, we have been teaching her. We talked to her three times this week, and it
was straight fire.
Elder Mullins-- She's just eating it up every
single time. If we made a point she was
smiling and pumped up, and her boyfriend didn’t know about what we were
teaching them. It was just way too funny.
Ridley is way funny
Elder
Mickelson-- I've never seen anybody so excited to learn the gospel. Asmira;s whole
face lights up when we share anything new. She is way excited to hear different stuff and
learn new things and apply what we're teaching. Our most recent topic has been
on personal revelation, and she's been eating that up a lot too.
Elder Mullins-- She has been taught all the lessons two or
three times, but the missionaries that taught her before left so much out. Every time we teach she understands a lot more
and gets a ton out of it. It’s way too fun to see her get so excited
over understanding the gospel.
Elder Mickelson-- You should have seen her face when
we told her we wouldn't be able to meet her next week. because we’ll be going
into Singapore. She was so crestfallen,
but it's okay, because we're going to video call her.
Elder Mullins-- It should be pretty cool. There was this one day when we didn't have
anything until night time so we went to this place called the Enenam It's the first time we ever went there. I've only been to two or three places in our
area, and it's already been 2 weeks. We
went to this place that Elder Mickelson calls Christianville.
Elder Mickelson-- It's basically the campung with a bunch of old
wooden houses, but everyone who lives there is Christian, so it's good when
you're looking for Christian people. We
walked out there to try and find some Christians. It was pretty fun!
Elder Mullins-- We found some people that were
willing to meet. They gave us their
numbers. It was nice to go and explore
it. I think we might be able to pump
some stuff out of there with a little more planning. We'll see how it goes.
Elder Mickelson--We met someone name
kaleidoscope
Elder Mullins-- Coscapello
Elder Mickelson-- Close enough… He's way cool. He's 20 years old and he's way fun. He's one of the most sincere people that I've
met. He asks questions being 100% honest
with us. He's really cool. I found him
when we're going through a bunch of PPI’s six or seven months ago.
Elder Mullins-- Coscapello is way cool. He brought a friend too. He is a little less potential, but he was
wearing the same shirt as us so that was cool.
Elder Mickelson-- We shared the message of the
restoration with them really simply while sitting down at the cake store. It was pretty good. We felt the spirit. We should be meeting him again this next week.
Elder Mullins-- Also we took 3 hours out of 1 day to take all
the paper stuff in our area book and put it into our electronic area book. It was pretty killer but we got a lot done and
we found a lot of way cool former investigators.
Elder Mickelson-- That was one of the hardest
mental workouts I have had in a while. Moving
on… There's a way cool guy. His name is
Miles. We met him at church today, and he's from Hong Kong. He’s seen the missionaries a ton over in Hong
Kong, but never talked with them.
Elder Mickelson-- He was very impressed with how
formal and way cool we were. He couldn't get over the fact that we could
speak Malay. He's been wanting to learn
about the Mormon church for a while now.
He doesn't have a religion and he's eating up everything.
Elder Mullins—Yes, he was ready to learn. He's
going back to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, but we're going to teach him over
video call so that will be way cool.
Elder Mullins--
Elder Mickelson and I are definitely the most unified companionship in
the mission
Elder Mickelson-- Probably in the world.
Elder Mullins-- We got the same pants, the same
belt, the same shirt, the same tie, the same ring, the same phone. What else do we have the same? The same phone case, and we're going to get
another phone case that's the same. Yep,
we got the same colored socks, same color of hair, we're from the same state.
Elder Mullins-- We're going to get to Singapore and I'm ready
to look exactly the same. It's going to be way cool.
Elder Mickelson-- We're just going to prove to
everyone that we are the most united companionship.
Elder Mickelson--Oh, there's a way cool
guy named Hillary. It's a guy named
Hillary.
Elder Mullins-- He's not female…definitely a guy.
When I first started talking to him he
says, “Oh, I'm Christian.”
Elder Mickelson-- RC started talking to him. He talked about that he went to church when
he had the chance. We started contacting
him and it wasn't going super well. We
asked him if he wanted to learn any more about this, and he said,” I don't know.
I'm really busy. I'll give you my number we'll see how it goes.” We told him that we know this can really help
you. He said, “You know, my life is really hard and it keeps
getting harder every day. “ Then we would just drop some testimony on him,
mostly about Jesus Christ and about his purpose and giving him hope. We told him about our purpose in life, and
that no matter what happens we can find peace, hope, and assurance because of
Jesus Christ and his mission. We
promised him that he could feel that in his life if he met with us.
Elder Mullins-- He went from saying, “I'm kind
of busy to whenever you have time we can meet.”
Elder Mickelson-- It was really cool. He asked, “Can
you meet on Monday?” and we said, “We're going to be in Singapore for 4 days.”
He says, “Wait, are you normally here? How
can I find you?” I told him, “Don't
worry, we're coming back.” We are way excited for him. He was just one of those solid contacts. It
feels like it was really good. It was
really us giving someone hope.
Elder Mullins-- We walked away from him saying
we could totally see that guy getting baptized.
We were way pumped for him.
Elder Mickelson-- I guess the only other thing
we could talk about is tomorrow. We are
flying to Singapore, and Thursday night we are flying home from Singapore.
Elder Mullins-- So that is all of Monday, all of
Tuesday, all of Wednesday, and all of Thursday. We will start In our area on Friday, so we
will have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We’ve
got four new investigators, we've got to put someone on date, and we’ve got to
get five people to sacrament meeting, and we're going to do it!
Elder Mickelson-- Yeah that's not even going to
be hard…well maybe a little bit hard, but we will do it.
Elder Mullins—Yeah, easy!
Elder Mickelson-- Well I think that's about it
from us, so Toodles!
Elder Mullins-- Yeah see you later!
