Monday we had to go out to
Fort Walton first thing in the morning to go and get me some new shoes. Brother
Moore took us down there to JC Penney and I got a comfortable,
lightweight pair for 60 bucks. Got a good deal on them, 25 dollars off. Brother
Moore also took us to lunch at a little place called Stewie's. It was a
seafood place and the fish tacos I had were real good! Came back to Crestview to
email and what not. Then we went and played some sand volleyball. The
temperature was perfect so it was way fun! Ate at the Wanner's which
was delicious. Brother Wanner does competitive arm wrestling and he taught us
the technique of how to do it without breaking your arm. Had a lesson at the Bissen's and
they made brownies for Elder Winter because it was his birthday. They were
freaking good!
Tuesday we went to our
district’s district meeting. That was good! Taught Donna a bit while doing some
service with her. Finished the trench and now we are getting the weed cloth
laid. Taught Manny a lesson which went well. He is an awesome guy! Talked to
Johnny's girlfriend Staci for a bit and then headed over and talked to Jamie
outside. Her friend Angel came and talked too. Then Ben came home so we read
with him in D&C 84 a bit.
Wednesday we had to plan what
we are going to talk about in our zone conference call. Got our apartment
situation figured out. We will be moving to a smaller one at the first of next month.
Taught Billy Ray and he is pushing us away slowly. Then we tried to see Brian
and then Joanna which both fell through. Ate at the Boyd's and did
coordination. Really good food there. Then we went and saw Brother Wroten and
talked to him for a bit. He is a really awesome guy. Taught him about
conference and prophets.
Thursday we had our zone
conference call. It was really weird to teach over the phone so hopefully they
got something out of it. Taught James and his Mom still doesn't want him to get
baptized. He wants to though. Hopefully her heart will be softened so that he
can be baptized on the 12th. Went home to eat and do some weekly planning.
After weekly planning we went to eat at the Nelson's. That's when we found out
that we had called the wrong Nelson's that were in 2nd Ward because the
Nelson's in our ward weren't home. Brother Nelson from our ward called and
asked if we were coming by still and the other one did the same. So we ended up
going to see Brother Thomas and taught him a bit and then headed back over to
the Nelson's in our ward to eat. They are an awesome family! The other Brother
Nelson ended up feeding the 2nd Ward Elders so they got something out of our
mistake. Then we ended up setting up an appointment with Lewis and taught Johnny.
We taught him about Jesus and him being the literal Son of God. It was a way
powerful lesson. Then we traded off with 2nd Ward.
Friday I was in the 2nd
Ward with Elder Elmer. Every single person we tried today fell through. I'm not
even kidding! Elder Elmer and I had fun though. He is really cool, reminds me
of Shawn from back home. The 2nd Ward had a cardboard cut-out of Mitt Romney
that was life-size and it scared the pee out of me 3 times. They stuck it in
the bathroom and when I walked in I saw a huge guy out of the corner of my eye.
We also ate at the Newell's with Brother and Sister Hart there as
well. Brother Hart looked a lot like my Uncle Tom and that was kind of weird.
We also met a lady who knew some people that lived in Dugway, Utah! So
crazy but they lived there in the 70's so it wasn't at the same time. Also
played volleyball in our dress clothes which was actually really fun. I had
like 3 spikes. Well it was a spike for a guy like me that can't spike very
well.
Saturday we had breakfast
with President Miller as usual. Then we went to the church to study before Conference.
We did get in a study but also ended up helping the members clean the building.
We also had to get the satellite broadcast of conference working. Conference
was powerful and way awesome! The hurricane that was supposed to hit ended up
dispersing and we got a lot of rain. Not really any wind or anything.
Sunday we hurried and
headed to see the Barbecho's and also Johnny in the morning to remind
them about conference. The Barbecho's watched yesterday and seemed to
have liked it. Johnny didn't come to any sessions!! It was way disappointing.
Conference was great and the Prophet was powerful. Everyone was but him in
particular. Had a great lunch in between provided by the Bailey's. After
Conference we ate with the Peterson's and the Lawrence's. Then we taught Andy
and the Spirit was so strong. Then we went and saw Johnny and the Barbecho's.
Johnny has been having a struggle with getting his daughter to bed. She should
be put on some sort of sleep medication soon after they run some tests on her.
She has a bit of autism. Johnny is awesome though and he still wants to be
baptized.
