So
we got a phone call from the mission president telling us he had a
special task for us. I was a little worried at first but it ended up
being so much fun. We were told to go to the airport Friday night to
pick up Elder Donaldson, a member of the 70. When we went and got him it
was so cool. He walked into the terminal and just gave us the biggest
smile and a huge wave. We got his bags and when out to the car. On the
way he was talking to us, getting to know us and about halfway to his
hotel he said "Well boys, is there a McDonalds anywhere in this town" A
general authority took us to McDonalds and bought us dinner!! It was
legit. Then we went to his hotel and hung out with him in the lobby
while we ate. He was giving us all kinds of tips and teaching us all
kinds of cool stuff. After we all got done eating we all realized it was
10:30 and normally we should have been in bed already haha! We then
left but it was so cool to hang out with a member of the 70.
On Sunday we got to go to a stake conference
where Elder Donaldson spoke and it was so good. Right before he spoke he
called me and another missionary up out of the blue for us to share our
testimonies. We walked up there and he told us what he wanted us to
testify about and then said "Well guys, bring in the Spirit" It was a
cool experience.
We have a couple of investigators who are
progressing really well. We are hoping to fix a couple of dates this
week. Tonight we have a couple of family home evenings planned out that
we are going to and I have two exchanges this week so its going to fly
by.
