Still Loving his Mission!

Jared Mission December 4, 2016

I didn’t go to the Bishop’s Storehouse this week because they were closed.  At Deseret Industries I did the same things and met this new employee.  He seemed like he was pretty nice.  We talked about movies we like and books we like to read.  It was fun getting to know him.

Tuesday I did indexing when I went to the Family History Center.  I looked through documents like obituaries, census records and other documents for names of people and their birth dates, marriage dates, death dates and other important dates in their lives.  Then we put those names and dates into a form and send it into the Family Search database.  Then people from all over the world can search for their ancestors and the dates they need for their personal family history.

Wednesday I did my first Initiatory session at the Temple with Mom and Dad.  It was fun and, as usual we went to the cafeteria to eat.  It was good food.

On Thursday I did splits with the missionaries and we taught a man that we found in the neighborhood. 

On Friday I got to take apart a bike and get it ready for resale.  I got to use bolt cutters to take the spokes off of wheels that were deemed unusable.  I got to help get two bikes ready for “adopt a bike”.  I got to switch out the axels of one of the wheels.

On Saturday I gave a talk at my friend’s (Gio) baptism and got to stand in the confirmation circle today at church.  I am thankful that I have the priesthood to be able to participate in these ordinances.

It was a great week and my mission is fun!  We are supposed to get a little snow this week and my family and I are excited about that!  My sister and her husband and two kids are coming for Christmas this Friday so I’m excited about that!
