I've heard this rumor that it's
supposed to be winter, but all I see is spring what with this 60
degree weather.
Tuesday, not a whole lot happened that
day, we walked around town talking with people, I got a haircut, and
we went to go see people.
Wednesday, Elder Hendricks woke up not
feeling too good, but we still went out talking and he was doing ok,
but when we got home he took a "short" nap and woke up
feeling a little better. Then it was time for dinner and we were
happily making waffles when we got a phone call from President
Brough. I answered the phone and talked with him for a minute, him
being his normal happy self, then he told me that our district
leaders companion was returning home due to medical reasons and our
district leader, Elder Permann, would need a companion for a few day.
He asked if we wouldn't mind being a trio, well we had nothing
against it so we agreed. We then went back to eating our waffles.
After dinner we went to an older couples home and played Phase 10
with them, then went home to great our guests. We had four other
missionaries spending the night, one of which is my favorite Samoan,
Elder Matealu! And we stayed up late talking, but I made sure that I
was in bed before midnight because I was the designated driver.
Thursday, was a cold frosty day and we
were all out the door by 7:30 going to New Albany IN, for the mission
Christmas conference! It was a blast, unfortunately my camera didn't
have the charge I thought it did so I was only able to get recordings
of a couple of the activities, so I will have to get the others from
those that did record it. Afterwards we packed up Elder Permann with
us and made a few quick stops before we went home because we were in
Elder Matealu's old area and made it home safe with only a few
non-lethal incidents.
Friday, we went around talking with
people then went and saw some of the older members that hadn't been
feeling too well lately and visited with then for a little while.
Played card again then packed up and went to Jasper (Elder Permann's
area) and taught a lesson that night to one of his investigators who
is getting baptized this coming Saturday.
Saturday, we went to a members home and
played some foosball/air hockey/table tennis with them and some other
members of their ward for an hour. Then went to another members home
to teach the young man from the night before. After lunch we went to
the town square and started walking around talking with people and as
we were starting there was this ice cream place that looked good
(remember, it's like 55 degrees outside) and as we were passing, this
lady stuck her head out the door and said "Hey Elders! Could I
buy you some ice cream?" You know me, I won't turn down ice
cream, so we went in and as we were getting some she was asking us
questions about where we were from and stuff (she is a member that's
new to the area) and she found out the Elder Permann was from the
same town her grandparents were from and all that fun stuff and we
ended up talking with her and her friends for about 20 minutes or so.
Then later as we were talking with people, there was one lady that I
talked to that told me she was "churched out" then she
explained. She told us that she use to be apart of this church where,
I can't remember his name but he was the purple Kool-Aid guy, so that
was an interesting experience. Then that evening we went back to the
members home that we first went to and had dinner with them and
played Mexican train ride with them. At first I was keeping a strong
lead but by the end I feel hard to fourth of seven. Oh well.
Sunday we went to church in Jasper and
they had a nice little program. Then went home packed our stuff and
came back to Tell City and called home, I know I had a great time and
everyone loved seeing this beautiful mug of mine! We then quickly
went to one family's Christmas dinner, but unfortunately we had to
eat and dash, then went up the teach a lesson that went really well.
I didn't think we would make it there because a huge fog cloud came
rolling in and it was really hard to see especially in backwoods
roads. On the way home we decided it would be best if Elder Hendricks
drove because he is a much more experienced driver and it was a good
thing too because as soon as I got in the car I started feeling
nauseous, and it just got worse the more we drove, so it was a really
good thing I didn't drive. On the plus side I didn't lose my stomach,
so that was good.
Well, that was my exciting week, let's
see what this one has in store.
Love y'all!
