A quick recap. Tuesday the Area Presidency gave our weekly devotional. Each of them spoke, and they showed power points. The highest rate in the area for baptisms is PNG. The activity rate amongst newly baptized is around 33% after one year, fairly typical. We got membership counts by country, etc. I was able to get a copy of the power point (without some of the confidential stuff) which I downloaded onto my laptop and which can be the basis of a power point about our mission to show when we get home. Otherwise it was a typical work week.
Then it was a kickback weekend. Since we traveled last weekend and will travel again the next 2 weekends, we just took it easy and did small chores at home. Saturday morning I rode my bike 10 miles again and ran our 5 flights of stairs 5 times for exercise. Took a nap and read some. Then we watched the BYU v. Houston football game, with BYU prevailing 43-26 over a good team and improving to 5 wins 0 losses. Due to Covid 19, it was the first time this season that they played in front of live fans, about 25% of the typical attendance in the Houston stadium was allowed. Today we’ll teach our 4th Temple Prep class, I’m still doing a new power point for each class and am getting pretty good at making those. Last Sunday evening we had 2 sisters and 1 brother over from the YSA branch for a Hawaiin haystack dinner, and this evening we have 4 brethren coming over for a taco dinner. Alisa tries to fix some foods that are fun but not their typical meals here. It’s a good way to get to know the YSA’s a little better and make us feel like we’re doing our part.
