This week was a pretty great week overall. The weekend was full of
craziness it seemed like and the weeks was busy. It was really nice to
be busy and feel like I'm actually accomplishing something but then
again, it flew by. So here's how it went as a whole:
8-14-17
"If I got locked away and we lost it all today, tell me honestly,
would you still love me the same?" Preparation day and it is the
usual. Did our shopping and laundry in the morning and had lunch at
home. Then went to the church and played soccer mostly today and some
basketball. Emailed throughout and went to see Kris before bible study
but he had a rough day and isn't doing to well so we decided to stay
and help him out tonight. We talked with him for a while and stayed
the entire night until we had to head home. He was very grateful we
stayed.
8-15-17
"We used to build a rocket ship and fly it far away. Used dream of
outer space then they say, 'wake up, you need to make money', yeah"
Today was pretty good. We had district meeting after lunch and it was
our last one of the transfer which is always sad. Then we went
directly to a lesson with DeQuan and it was an hour and a half going
through all his questions he had about the plan of salvation. We then
got to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and ended. Then we had
companionship study at the church and dinner after. Went to see Corrin
and was able to follow up from Sunday. Then we did look ups the rest
of the night.
8-16-17
"Anyway you want it, thats the way you need it. Any way you want it!"
I was tired today because it was hot. But we also did deep clean in
the morning after studies and then went to this place that was
supposed to have unlimited wings for a certain price but turns out
they didn't do that deal anymore. And we were with the other elders so
we decided to go to Applebee's instead for lunch. Then did
companionship study at the church and went to do look ups during the
day that we needed to do. Had dinner at the Snows and went to visit a
referral but they weren't home. So we stopped by Kris' since he was
down the road but he wasn't there so we talked to everyone else in the
house. Went to see a member for our usual Wednesday night visit and
she was home this week. That ended our night.
8-17-17
"Oh, but when I look back now. The summer seemed to last forever. And
if I had the choice, yeah, I would wanna be there. Oh, those were the
best days of my life." Pretty good day today. Usual morning routine
and lunch and then we made beignets with lunch. I got the mix for my
birthday and just made it for the first time today. Super good. And
then we went to the church for weekly planning and calls until I had
to pack for exchanges and went to Alive After Five. We were there the
entire time tonight and tonight was the last one for the summer. An
hour into it, we started exchanges with elders Rammell and Hansen and
I'm with Elder Rammell. We manned the stand for the first half an hour
and went street contacting the rest. Helped a lady take down her stuff
at the end and she gave us free soda. Also gave her a Book of Mormon.
As a district, we gave out like 15 Book of Mormons tonight. Then we
grabbed my stuff from the car and headed to their apartment.
8-18-17
"Cause baby now we've got bad blood. Now we've got problems. And we
can't solve them. You made a really deep cut." Exchanges were fun. We
did the studies and planning in the morning and then went to see their
investigator getting baptized this Sunday, JoAnne. We brought Arthur
along, the recent convert, and it was a good lesson. Just doing the
last minute questions and baptismal covenant teaching. Then dropped
off Arthur and had lunch. Went to the church to make calls and help
clean out their area book. Went to look a few of them up that didn't
have numbers and that ended our exchange. Elder Cahan and I had dinner
and he went to give the interview to JoAnne at the church. Then
finished off the night by going to see Kris.
8-19-17
"Drink your prune juice grandma!" It was a pretty good day today. We
had the usual morning and went to teach DeQuann in the morning. That
was good but he has so many questions it takes forever. Then went to
get our car back, the Subaru. So changed cars and Jay came along with
the senior couple for the ride so I got to see him today. That was
fun:) The we were going to eat at Wendy's for lunch but then the stake
president called and asked for us to help with a blessing so we drove
back to the church and helped with that. He heard my stomach in the
blessing and so he took us out to lunch at a deli he knows so that was
super nice. Then we had companionship study at the church and went to
a lesson but got cancelled. So we did look ups until dinner with a
member family and the stake president came to that dinner with us too
so it was a fun day with him:) Had to leave to go straight to a lesson
with Dan which we finished the plan of salvation with him and he's
been reading the Book of Mormon so that was good! Then went and saw
Corinne to talk about coming to church tomorrow and finished the night
by helping brother Elliott clean the church and set up the chairs for
tomorrow. It was a long day but a fun one.
8-20-17
"That man is playing Galaga. Didn't think we would notice, but we did"
Today was a busy day. We were doing studies when the Spanish elders
needed to go on exchanges for elder James to get some rest. Not
feeling well so I went with Elder Rogers for the 3rd hour of church in
the Spanish branch. Then went and exchanged back and we went to our
church. Kris and Corrin came today! Then after church, elders Rammell
and Hansen had a baptism and DeQuan came to that. Then headed home
after a long day at church to eat dinner and went to see Kris. Felt
bad because his fiancé also came but didn't know what was going on so
we didn't explain that very well to her. So we will be working more
with her. Then went to the church to make calls to end the night.
So Kevin has been in Guatemala this past week and I've chatted with
him everyday for like 20 min each day. He's doing good there and even
went to church! Been reading a lot and had lots of adventures. Then
DeQuan didn't want to come to church and the baptism so he decided to
come to the baptism only which was good. He really enjoyed it and said
how different it was. Next week he said he'll make it to church. Kris
and Cynthia came to sacrament meeting which is a start! Next is to
Sunday school. Corrin is doing good. She's been going through a rough
patch these past few weeks so we're trying to figure out how to best
help her as missionaries. That's most our pool for now. Hopefully in
this next transfer Kevin and DeQuan will get baptized! That would be
amazing to see right before I go home.
Hope everyone has a great week. See you in the next one, ✌🏻
