We had zone conference this week. President Egbert and everyone else who spoke talked a lot about working with members and the ward council. We role-played a ward council (I was the Primary President) and the first time it was just great! Elder Rowley was a great bishop and everyone participated and wanted to help. A lot got done. And then President invited one of the senior sisters to replace Sister Leishman as the Relief Society president and our next roleplay was . . . more realistic. It was pretty sad; we felt so accomplished but well, it happened how most ward councils we are used to actually go. As missionaries, we can't do everything, but we want to be able to help our bishop and support him in making Couva ward. President has asked that we aim for twice as many baptisms next year as we had this year, so we are going to have to work harder and more diligently. Just looking for some suggestions here.
Celebrated my year mark! Tried to burn a pair of shoes that I can't wear anymore because they smell too bad . . . but they wouldn't catch fire so I burned a skirt I inherited from my trainer's trainer's trainer (yes, it's that old). That burned just fine, so it was cool :) Yay, one year!
We had a ward party the other night. We've been trying to improve unity in the ward, so I think it helped. A lot more people showed up than we thought, so that was good. We watched The Testaments and played a lot of games. I learned how the play solitaire.
We had a good success yesterday. One of the less-actives we have been teaching for a while, Brother Belfon, came to church! He has been a member for a long, long time, and hasn't been to church in the while, so we were happy to get him there. Now just to get him to stay there . . .
Anyway, a lot of things happening. Hope all yuh had a good week!
Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
