Week 20 (4-8-19) My Daily Schedule – Part 1

Well, howdy everyone!

Hope this past week was great, and I hope this email finds you all well. 

As I was thinking about what to write, I have lots to write, well because I am just awful at writing this, so please forgive me. My parents keep asking me to send what a daily schedule looks like. 

Here goes !!  So at 6:30 am, my alarm goes off, then we have companionship prayer, then I have individual prayer. Afterwards, I lazily exercise for about 20 minutes.

About 7am, I take my first shower of the day. Then get dressed, usually I wear pants, and then eat some breakfast. It really just depends on how motivated I feel to make breakfast, so usually it consists of the following options. Chocolate cereal, toast, or I can try and not burn myself and use the lighter to ignite our gas stove to make myself an egg.

I also like to make oatmeal, but it doesn’t have all the things I already like, for example a prepared packages of peach or strawberry or maple and brown sugar, you know the kind.  If I want it bad enough, I have to make it from scratch. The oats, then add milk then add butter and a little salt with sugar. This takes a while, so it’s not often.

About 8am we plan for the day, start with a prayer; write our studies write the people we are going to visit and the lessons we are going to teach them. Then write our goal for how many new people were are going to find and how many people on date for baptism, then we end with a prayer.

Afterwards about 9am, I start with a prayer, to begin personal study, and study most of the time on Portuguese for about an hour, and then I end with a prayer.

About 10am we begin companionship study, start with a hymn, start with a prayer and then read 3 pages from the missionary manual handbook, and share what we studied with each other. And usually I have a thought on the baptism invitation, the restoration or sometimes other topics. Then we close with prayer. 

About 11am, I start with another prayer to begin language study, for about an hour. I am just now finally figuring how to study well. 

I am sorry I am out of time, but I will finish more next week. Needless to say, I pray A LOT during the day, so if you find it difficult to say just one prayer a day, think again J
