My missionary day was great, we got our house inspected, and had an effective work day. Made brownies. Elder Bytendorp's birthday was nuts! We taught so many people! And we bought Pizza Hut, which was way expensive, each slice is 10SRD. It was delicious though, and lasted two days. Then we had Zone Conference on Saturday morning. Apparently this daily goals thing is brilliant. I set weekly goals, then plan out how to achieve them with daily goals, then when I achieve my daily goals, the weekly goals just fall into place. It's a good system.
Zone Conference we talked about activating the power of the Priesthood here in Suriname. President Gamiette got me really inspired to do better with this last chunk of full time service.
Elder Bytendorp has been great. He's good about taking pictures of stuff. Our only problem is that we are both easily distracted, so planning every night that is supposed to take 30 minutes, takes an hour and a half each day. We're working on it though. I've been thinking a lot about how I can become a better teacher. This was introduced by CES to President Gamiette: Search, Analyze and Apply questions
Search questions are things found in the text that you just read, they are used to specify what will be discussed, they are called the head knowledge.
Analyze questions are used to take the principle out of the text. They get the person thinking, and are the heart knowledge.
Apply questions are used to take the head and heart knowledge, and place it into the soul. They are tough sometimes. These are the Soul questions.
I'm still not incredible with this source of good teaching, but I'll be working on it a lot. President Gamiette blew us away with his use of these types of questions. It was absolutely incredible. This is something that has always been around, but is becoming more understood now, so hopefully we will all become better teachers.
The Jansens are having the missionaries over today at 2, so I'll be having a very delightful dutch meal later today.
I love you all bunches.
