Monday; So like I said last week, we
were out of power and had to spend part of our morning getting that
taken care of, and ended up leaving the maintenance man to work on
it. We then went through our day doing our thing, and crashed two
BBQs that people there had the crazy idea to invite four missionaries
over. Hahaha!
When we got home that night, we still
had no power (headbanging), so since it was late, we just spent the
night at some other elders apartment.
Tuesday; It worked out that we spent
the night with the other elders, because we started an exchange that
we had planned on doing anyway. I spent the day with Elder Conlin,
and we spent the day teaching less actives, then had dinner at a
active members home, then went to the church to take care of some
things. We ended up trying to help the Hermana's teach a recent
convert how to pronounce some of the words in the sacrament prayer,
so that was interesting.
Wednesday; Was a very busy day. First
we had district lunch, we went to Chili's (not my idea, but the food
was good) and sang happy birthday to Elder Crystal. We then went to
the church for district meeting and interviews with President Brough.
I love interviews, they really care so much about each one of us and
President is so inspired. Well as we were starting our district
meeting, President came in and called Elder Crystal in for his
interview, and told me I was temporarily the district leader and to
keep things going. At first I was like "sweet! I'm in charge."
The next moment I was like "Wait... I don't know what I'm
doing!" So we finished what we were doing, and then with a huge
prayer in my heart, we had a pretty good discussion on goals, and
accountability. Thank you Dad & Mom for all you taught me about
that, even though I wasn't the best at living it. Then we went and
had dinner with a member.
Thursday; We had a bit of a slower day.
We did some service in the morning, for a family that's moving in,
and the parents are both college professors, so every time we did or
said something smart, she would go, "college credits." I
thought to myself, "At this rate, I'll finish college before I
get off my mission!" We then saw one or two less actives.
Friday; Us and the zone leaders had
lunch with Grandma Robinson at a pizza place that was really good.
Then had a lesson with a less active family that we have been working
on since I've been here, and we are slowly making progress. The four
of us had dinner at a member's house that lives way out there, which
was about a half hour drive away. They were really funny, and their
son had a friend there. Those two reminded me so much of Adam and
Allan, just not as violent.
Saturday; We did our weekly planning,
and while we were in there it rained so we thought we were in the
clear, because when we went out, it was clearing up, so we went out
and we got absolutely soaked. When we got home and I took off my
shoes, there was literally standing water in them. Well we got dried
off and changed, then got picked up for the lesson we had for the two
kids that are getting baptized.
Sunday; After church we went over the
interview questions with the two kids, and they are looking good. And
that evening we had dinner with a family and got a ride in his C63S
Mercedes! It was awesome!
