I had a real good week this week, it got pretty stressful at the beginning but I am doing real good now. The mission has taught me really well how to understand and manage stress and also how to push myself to do things I didn't even know I could do. I have learned a lot about myself and the things I enjoy doing and things I am pretty good at. I still have so much to learn and I have a long ways to go on the new things I have already learned but I am working toward it.
Elder Powell and I have been doing some real good things in our area lately and we have seen some miracles! Lately a man has been coming to sacrament meeting every Sunday and he loves it and wants to learn more. His name is Gregory and he has recently been released on parole from a life sentence hes been serving since he was 18. He listened to a few presentations given to him while he was in Prison about the gospel and loved it. We are going to start teaching him this week and hopefully progress him enough to someday enter the waters of baptism. He is a really nice guy and is just so keen to learn! It was a miracle for us to meet him and hopefully soon, be able to start teaching him.
The last couple P-days have been really fun! Last week I hiked Mt Taranaki which was a really long hike and had calf deep snow at about 3/4 of the way to the point we reached. It was near impossible to get to the summit with the amount of snow so we didn't bother trying to go all the way up. Just today, we had a zone p-day playing bow tag. It was pretty much paintball but with a bow and arrow. The arrows have big marshmallow pillow things so they don't injure. It was really fun and we got to have a lot of fun with heaps of elders!
Anyway thats me for the week!
Arohanui,
Elder Green
