Monday – Today was P-day and we stopped by
Teressa’s because she asked us if we would be able to take a couple movies to
the library. So we chatted with her for a bit about different things then
headed to the library to email. Emailed and then went shopping. Played some
basketball as well which was fun. I was on fire for some reason. Ate at the
Thomas’ for dinner. The Bailey’s were there and we also taught a lesson to
Brother Thomas. Went pretty good. Went to see Devonte to reschedule with him
for tomorrow. After that we headed home to figure out everything about zone
training tomorrow and are excited about it.
Tuesday – Today we had zone training so we headed
to Niceville to set up. We also role played some stuff with the 2nd
Ward Elders. Zone training seemed to go really well. I had fun teaching it.
Then we went on an exchange with the Destin Elders. I went to Destin with Elder
Simmons and Elder Miller went up to Crestview with Elder Evans. It was fun to
be back with Elder Simmons after our days in the Pensacola Zone. He is a great
guy and very outgoing. Talked to a lot of people! Went and saw a gator named
Ernie and he gave me a sweet photo he took of the Destin sunset that looked
like Christ in the clouds. Then went to see the Garcia’s and taught them a great
little lesson. Went out with Brother Hoffer and went to Subway. While we were
eating a cop walked in and said to leave because the building next door was on
fire. So we did and watched from a distance expecting to see a show, but didn’t
even see any smoke. They had 3 fire trucks and the chief and nothing happened.
So we went with Brother Hoffer to see the Chapman’s to teach them. Ended up
just teaching Mary for the most part. She said she will come to church. At one
point her nephew ran down the stairs complaining about Mary’s daughter and I
sarcastically told him to hit her back. It was pretty funny but I forgot kids
don’t understand sarcasm. Then he ended up doing it and I felt really bad.
Wednesday – Today was a good day. Started off
taking a ladies dog on a walk for some service. Elder Simmons and I walked him
to the Destin Beach which was interesting. Really pretty beach too! Found out
that you aren’t supposed to have dogs on the beach so we headed back to do the
exchange report and to also have some lunch. Did a bit of role plays when my
companion got back then headed to Niceville. I stayed in Niceville with Elder
Brewington and Elder Swenson went up to Crestview with Elder Evans. Good
exchange! Elder Brewington and I had a good day. We went to see Brother Howell
and helped him put some pictures on LDS Planet. He wants to get married again.
His wife passed a few years back. Also stopped and played some ball with a
bunch of kids and gave them a pass along card. Met Brother Raider who was really
cool. Then biked to Daryl’s who is a gator and walked to Sister Golden’s with
him, Ate dinner there and had a lesson. Sister Golden was a boss! She is cool!
Works on planes in the Air Force. I never would have guessed. Had basketball
night planned but no one showed.
Thursday – Today was kind of an interesting day.
First Elder Brewington and I did the exchange report and then did some
interesting role plays with Elder Swenson and Elder Brewington. Then Elder
Evans and I did our weekly planning in Niceville. I have never done weekly
planning in another companionships apartment before that. It took a bit longer
because it wasn’t home and they also came down a few times to ask us some
questions. After we got our weekly planning done we headed to Fort Walton to do
a baptismal interview for the 2nd Ward Elders down there. It was for
John Gorham and he is a great guy. I am really excited for him. Then we headed
back to Crestview to eat with the Wirt’s. Had some delicious pulled pork. Then
headed to the Wyatt’s for a lesson with Brother Wyatt which went pretty well. I
love the Wyatt’s! That about finished our day.
Friday – Today I had to fix my bike. I had 2
flats and my chain and gears needed to be cleaned. That took forever! We also
finished up our weekly planning. Then we biked all the way down to the
Barbecho’s. We went to see Jamie but Ben was home so she just left like she
always does. So we taught Ben and his brother, Juan, about the restoration.
That lesson went well. Ben really needs to solidify his testimony a lot more
though but he is doing pretty good. That went long so we biked back to our car
to meet Brother Cochran so he could pick us up for dinner. Got a bloody nose
randomly. Ate dinner at the Cochran’s and the homemade bread is always great!
Then we had volleyball to finish the night. Got home after and made all our
calls.
Saturday – Had the usual meeting with President
Miller. Ate at Ryan’s with him. Then went home to do our studies and had lunch.
Got to teach Theresa and Ariel with Brother Fisher. Found out I have been
spelling Theresa’s name wrong all this time. That was a really fun lesson. I really
love teaching them. We went and taught about studying so they can have better
studies. Also went and taught Brian Anderson and he found some interesting anti
material to read so that was interesting. Biked to a couple places that didn’t
work out and talked to a guy named Lloyd who seemed pretty interested. Also
talked to a high/drunk guy which was interesting. He texted us and asked for 20
bucks. Had an awesome lesson at the Bissen’s. Andy is kind of losing his desire
though. Then we went home to finish up our night.
Sunday! – Started off going to see Alonzo. He was
heading to work. Chatted for a bit. Then headed to a few other places that
didn’t work unfortunately. Talked to a really confused girl and then ate lunch.
Ate in the church parking lot which was interesting. Then had church. That was
fun. Brother Cochran gave a really good talk. Elders Quorum ended early, 20
minutes early which was a first for me. Went to teach Lloyd after church but
that fell through. Went to see Johnny but he was busy cooking. We were going to
tract but got a call from the Fort Walton Sisters and they told us Sister
McKenzie wrecked on her bike so we called her to see if all was well. I
couldn’t help but laugh when she told us she clipped a garbage can and flew over
her handlebars. She told us President and the assistants laughed. Ate at the
Peterson’s which was fun. They are awesome! Then went to the Nunley’s and
taught their family the POS. Sarah brought her friend who is also named Sarah.
It was awesome! Also right after church the Sisters called because they forgot
their jacket that had keys in it. Brother Burbidge was going to take it to them
but he checked the pockets…no keys. Brother Burbidge said, “Cast thy hands in
the other coat.” They did and found the keys. They had them the whole time.
