Monday – P-day! Today we did the usual P-day
stuff. Played some basketball outside at Twn Hills Park. It was fun! I did role
my left ankle twice and both times I was just planting. Had dinner at home.
Sister Cockrell dropped off some delicious Mexican food. Headed to the church
to do a church tour with the Peterson’s. They invited their friend who decided
not to go but it was still a great tour! Then we headed home and actually got
to eat because before we didn’t really have enough time to eat. Then we planned
for zone training tomorrow.
Tuesday – Today we role played a bit in the
morning to finish up our zone training preparation. After that we headed down
to Niceville to have our zone training. I feel like it went pretty well except
we had some technical difficulties with the slide show presentation President
Smith asked us to show. After some of the missionaries went to Dairy Queen to
eat so we went and it was pretty good. Fast food is all kind of the same
though. Had an exchange today as well with Elder Rasmussen, the old MTC
companion. That was fun! We got quite a bit done. Met a guy named Nathaniel and
another guy Iran when we were trying to see Devonte. Devonte wasn’t home.
Taught Theresa and Ariel about temples and we are going to do some family
history Thursday. Ate at home before heading to see the Bissen’s and we read
with Andy from Alma 34. Talked a lot about prayer. Tried to see Johnny who
wasn’t awake so we talked to Stacey for a while. She is really cool.
Wednesday – Today I did the exchange report in the
morning with Elder Rasmussen. Then we exchanged back pretty early so that Elder
Evans and I could get to our appointments that we had set up. Unfortunately the
first one fell through so we tried to go see a headquarters referral that we
received yesterday but they weren’t home. Headed home to eat lunch and to study
and make some lesson plans. Then we went out to see Tony but he called and
cancelled so we saw Napier and unfortunately we had to drop him because he
wasn’t keeping commitments or more, so told us he wouldn’t keep any more. Then
taught Chris Nichols and we gave his roommate a Book of Mormon. Tried to see
Brenda but she wasn’t feeling well. Tried to contact some potentials and some
lady decided to be rude and it really ticked me off. Which that made the rest
of my night kinda crappy. I overreacted a bit. Had a great dinner with the
Boyd’s. Made mini pizzas and then had coordination which finished our night.
Thursday – Today I was even more sick then I have
been so I decided to just get some extra rest. Well my body more so just forced
me to fall asleep. Then today I realized that I am not trusting in the Lord
enough with my missionary work. That was a good thing to realize. We also had
weekly planning and got most of it done. Went to see a bunch of people with
Brother Wanner but none of it worked out. Went to contact our headquarters
referral and talked to their roommate Sam. He was a cool guy. Picked up some
grub from the Wirt’s and then helped the Hartwell’s move for a little bit
before heading to the church to do family history work with Theresa, Ariel and
Brother Fisher. That was pretty awesome! Theresa found a couple people that
very well could be her ancestors!
Friday – Today we finished up weekly planning
then went to help the Hartwell’s move into the ward. They are so cool! Brother
Hartwell hunts gator and he is going to make us some! I have never had gator
and I have wanted it my whole mission. Went and ate at Hardee’s after that.
That was decent. Then we drove to a hiding spot to change in the car which was
weird. I forgot my belt and Elder Evans aid, “It would be worse if you forgot
your tie.” That is when I realized I did forget my tie. We called the Taylor’s
and they let me borrow one. Then our appointments fell through. We did see the
Thomas’ which was pretty fun. Went to see Tony and Henry but they were busy so
we rescheduled. Then saw Mallory King and started the 12 step program and he
seemed to like it. Then we tried to see some less-actives but hat fell through
so we finished with some dinner and then played some volleyball for our
fellowship night.
Saturday – Today was exciting! We had our meeting
with President Miller at Ryan’s. Then went to the Bailey’s to help Elder
Bailey. He wanted us to be a part of fixing the car that Theresa just bought.
That was fun, we put on a bumper on the rear because the car was previously in
a wreck. Had our studies after that and then the rest of the day was
interesting to say the least. We saw Brian Anderson and tried to just do family
history but he started asking questions. His questions are all over the place
and he never likes our answers but family history went well. One of his lines
went way back. We also met some really, really cool people. Unfortunately we
didn’t get appointments with any of them. Charity was one of them and we talked
to her for a long time. Really cool lady and she took a copy of the Book of
Mormon and asked tons of questions. Her friend Christ told us John the Baptist
was the biggest MC ever. Shot some hoops with them on a kid’s basketball hoop.
Also saw the Vining’s and did some family history with them unexpectedly. They
were way interested. Then we saw Johnny. I used his bathroom and came out to
discover Elder Evans and Johnny carving raw turkeys. That was random. Then we
taught a lesson and I really feel Johnny is sincere.
Sunday – Today was a roller coaster. Had ward
council where the Sisters tried to steal one of our gators which really kinda
ticked me off. We work hard and love our gators but we ain’t backin down. It’s
our gator! It is more so the Lord’s gator. Had studies and church and dinner.
Then Brother Harter asked us to come over. So we went there to talked about
some things. Hopefully that will get worked out. Then we had an awesome lesson
with the Barbecho’s. It was so cool! Jamie sat in and the spirit was strong.
She was even a bit emotional. We had a great prayer at the end with the whole
family there. It was so cool! Then we went and taught Brother Wyatt which went
really well. He is progressing really well. That finished our evening.
