Happy Easter everyone!
This week was pretty cool because we spent the entire time getting everyone we talked to to attend and enjoy Easter! It was a great focus to have in our message to help others come to Christ and I am glad we did it. The highlights of the week were that I had my final checkup at urgent care about my broken toe. They looked at it a little more and decided that I don't need to come back again so I am basically healed from that. I can finally go back to my old ways of cutting wood and breaking toes without any worries!
We also were also invited to teach early morning seminary for a class and Elder Cameron came up with an ingenious idea. In order to wake up the students he decided we needed a dynamic object lesson. Together we came up with this lesson plan. The lesson was about not procrastinating the day of our repentance. I was given a jug of milk with only about a cup of milk left. Elder Cameron was given a gallon of milk filled to the brim. We told the students that we were given a week to drink a gallon of milk. My gallon had been drunk from a small amount each day until I only had a small amount left so I proceeded to drink the rest of it. Elder Cameron on the other hand had not drunk his milk throughout the week but still had to drink the entire gallon of milk. Elder Cameron proceeded to chug the entire gallon. After drinking about half he threw up into a pre-prepared garbage can. We closed by saying that when we want to do something we should never wait until the last possible second to change but to instead start the moment we can. Needless to say we had the attention of the class. We ended up sharing experiences from our missions and the class was attentive and awake. It was a very silly thing to do but it worked in our favor.
Lastly, the Easter program went really well! I was able to perform in the ward choir which was super fun, the primary kids sang so well, and we got a new Bishop! Bishop Bryan was our previous bishop and now our bishop is Bishop Stevens! We are looking forward to this new change and excited for him and his family!
Anyways, love you lots, here are some flowers and birds,
SIncerely,
Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
