Monday was my 11 month mark! I am so old!!
Monday was really good though. We got to teach Eileen about the Doctrine of
Christ. She also told us that she was so happy we came because it really puts
her at peace in her hectic life. She is so awesome! I love teaching her. Had
Brother Eubanks come and help us teach as well and that was really good. We
then had dinner with Brother Stewart. He is such a kind hearted man. I really
enjoy being around him. He gets down on himself, but I hope that we can help
lighten his day.
Tuesday we had Zone Training. Learned a lot
about getting people to pray. Also learned about area books. So it was good.
Then we had training, dinner with the Lindberg's and then had our plans fall
through so we worked on the area book to improve that. That was about it.
Wednesday was Pioneer Day! Kind of an up and
down day. Did some service for Mike again. Felt that he just thinks we are free
labor or something. I don't mind helping, but when it is things like what he
asks over and over again then it just becomes kinda a waste of the Lord's time.
Ended up teaching Sharon a lesson at the Curry's house after that. Tried to
beat into her head that reading the scriptures and praying are commandments.
Not optional! Went to see a referral, Didn't answer but then came out when they
thought we were gone to call in her dog. Saw the Jennings and talked to them
about Sharon. Sister Jennings is going to be her visiting teacher. Had some
Filipino food with Lulu and Adam. Then had coordination and discussed some good
stuff. Planned the Pioneer party that's on Saturday. Then we did training.
Thursday we had a weekly planning session. Then
we went out and saw TJ. Talked to him for a bit and planned to see him tomorrow
for a lesson. Talked to some really nice people today. None of them wanted to
learn more about the gospel. Had dinner with the Fowler's which was fun and the
food was good. Sister Fowler invited a friend to our ward party on Saturday. So
a lot of the ward is catching on and beginning to do missionary work. Had
basketball which wasn't as good as normal. Brother Booren shared a very good
spiritual message. Then we headed to the Pine Forest Elders place for our
trade-off. Elder Simmons came to Fox Run with me. Should be fun!!
Friday was a really tough day for me which
sucked because it was our trade off day with Elder Simmons. He is awesome
though and I had fun with him even though it was rough. We did teach Sharon at
the Curry's again and had 4 members lined up to go out to lessons. This ward is
awesome at that! Brother Booren went to Eric’s with us and he tried to bash
with us. He had to go somewhere and... So we dropped him to make the long story
short. Then we ate at Sonny's with the Pine Forest Elders before trading back.
Having good totals of lessons was a real blessing even though I had a hard day.
I wasn't very motivated… Do even better tomorrow.
Saturday was awesome! We met a guy at the gas
station named Jeremy. When we realized we needed gas, I was going to just go
get some, but something told me to go on the way to our ward party. That was
cool to see the Spirit direct us to be able to meet him. The ward Pioneer Day
party was awesome! Watermelon eating contest! Had a rep from each auxiliary.
Sister McArthur went at it! It was so awesome and funny! President Z. Smith
ended up winning with Brother Hardman in second repping the ward mission! Also
had Tug of war, stick pull, horse shoes and egg run thing for the kids. Sad
thing today was that we had to drop Steve and "Stone Cold".
Sunday we didn't have good #'s but we went
out and worked hard. Talked to some really nice people who took copies of the
BoM. One of them being a guy named Mike. He was awesome and we talked to him
for like 20 minutes about the church. Then to a really nice black guy and then
a really nice black lady. Can't remember their names. Then we went to see
Marcus with Brother Hardman and that fell through so we went home teaching with
him which also fell through. He is going to hook me up with a ton of hymns. I
am stoked!!
