Week 27 5 Days in and Everything is still ok! 2.27.17

Long story short:
It was a good week as district leader, my district is building unity
(and is a lot younger than me by means of time on the mission. Except the
AP's are in my district). We are working hard to build unity with
members

Funny stories:
 Elder draper and I stopped a girl, she stood about 6 feet away. She
knew exactly who we were. She stopped, and tiptoed around an
invisible bubble like a ninja and dashed away into the crowd. I could
not stop laughing, who would do such a ridiculous thing to not talk to
some one๐Ÿ˜‚
Elder mora brought four suitcases and he thought he could bring them
while he transferred ( you are only supposed to have two, and he white
washed so no one could help him when they transferred). I cared the
bigger two for him to get to the meetup point, and he carried the
smaller two and he couldn't do it. He actually dropped them down the
tube station stairs. It was sad but it was hilarious because every
single elder told him it was going to happen.

Short story long:
This has been my first week as a district leader, and it has been an
experience! Starting off Wednesday, I got my companion Elder draper.
He is an enthusiastic Lindon, Utah boy. I feel he is the Amulek to my
Alma ( Elder Uchtdofs Conference talk about Alma & Amuelek), he is a
good example to me about diligence in hard work. We had a lesson with
our friend Izabelle, and our companionship unity really helped her
progress; the lesson was so good we were able to help her realize she
her lack of real intent, and we helped her overcome it! The next day
was district meeting, let me tell you I was nervous. I wanted to try
something new and set a district vision or something we want to
accomplish this transfer, I hope it works out ๐Ÿ˜‚ but it went alright.
Elder draper and I had the longest weekly planning I have ever had,
but we set solid goals to accomplish. Saturday we went out and found
like Dragons ๐Ÿ‰ Elder Draper and I destroyed London and the Lord has
given us all of it. On Sunday we went to church and our friend Ling
was confirmed and received the Holy Ghost. I have tried something new
this Sunday, I pulled aside some of the ward council and see if I
could schedule some time with them and see what missionaries could do
better with the hidden intention of teaching them to be missionaries
and asking for referrals. Which it worked out pretty well, we got four
referrals from the elder's quorum president and someone from the elder's
quorum. It was pretty awesome to see how missionary work isn't
complete without the members. I don't have a lot to report on, but
this preparation day has been pretty cool so far. We went grocery
shopping at Aldi (think of the cheapest food possible, that's the
place it is), them we get the rest of our stuff from Pound land. The
equivalent of the dollar store, and got our cereal, canned goods, and
toilet paper๐Ÿ˜‚ (I'm known as a pretty cheap missionary, I refuse to go
broke!)
