This
week I went on 3 exchanges. I was only with Elder Phister for 2 full days this
past week. It was crazy. But this week had some great moments! Also President
has told us that we are going to be serving in two wards. One is our Spanish Ward,
and the other is a YSA ward. Which also means we get the chance to go contacting
on campus at Lonestar College; I'm pumped! General Conference was pretty
incredible, if I do say so myself. There were a lot of great quotes given. I'll
share some of my favorites a bit later, but it was so great to hear from
President Monson. One of the missionaries said to me, "President Monson
didn't say much, but the guidance he did give was of the most importance".
How incredible is it that we have a prophet on the earth today. It's so
incredible. Well I'm pumped to share the happenings of the week. Whoa let's
go!!!!!
Tuesday: I went on an
exchange with Elder Self. He has been out just a transfer less than me, and it
was a lot of fun. Some of the crazy things that happened: We were going to a
lesson and we got on the feeder road and then everyone just stopped. There were
ambulances and police cars trying to get past all the traffic because there was
a huge accident. We were stuck in the same place for 45 minutes. When we
finally passed the accident we noticed that the car was just shredded up. We
missed our lesson, but our investigator is super awesome. Well we got the
chance to go do service at a mental facility with the Hermana's. When we got
there the Hermanas, asked us if we saw the accident. We told them we had and
they said that there was a burning car on the Freeway as well. Everything is
crazier in Texas!!! All of our lessons fell through but, man, it was a crazy
day!
Wednesday: Elder
Phister and I exchanged back the night before but then split off again. I went
on another exchange, this time with Elder Basset. I had the chance to go up to
Conroe. It was funny because Elder Basset is new to that area, and all of the
lessons he had planned fell through. So we had the chance to go finding for
close to 3 hours. We found so many good potential investigators. There are so
many people who are from Honduras who live in Conroe, and it was so much fun
talking to some of them. Contacting is one of my favorite things to do as a
missionary. It is so much fun meeting new people. At the beginning of my
mission I dreaded it, but I absolutely love it now. Elder Basset has amazing Spanish.
He served most of his mission in Costa Rica but then got really sick and had to
come home for 6 months, and is finishing his mission here in Houston. He is a
really funny Elder. We had a great time together. There were both things that
we have been working on and we were both able to help each other out. He also
has some really fun music. So we jammed as well! Had a ton of fun.
Thursday: Every
Thursday Elder Phister and I now have the opportunity to go teach Family
History at an Old Folks center here in The Woodlands with the AP's. So we got
the chance to do that, and it was so much fun talking to some of the old folks.
They are all so nice! We also got the chance to plan for our week! We did it at
the church and we were both really cold and the only warm place was in the
entrance doors of our chapel. So we got one of the couches and put it in there
and planned in there. Sometimes you just gotta switch things up.


Love, Elder Heiner
