Monday- Pretty slow Monday. I was super tired so I didn’t
really even participate in the p-day activity I just chilled and talked to
people. After P-day we saw Melba! I've mentioned her before but she's this
super crazy lady in her late 80's and she was telling me I had to call
president and let him know I couldn't move because there was this little old lady
that had broken her hip and was almost converted to the gospel. We spent most
of our evening just doing a puzzle with her. Then we got a call from Bishop
Petersen and he said he needed us for a blessing for his little daughter. So we
went over there and his little daughter Emma had a double ear infection. It is
not easy to give a blessing to a baby in pain, they don’t sit still. But we
gave him a hand then he walks around the corner and goes yea we were at Reed's
dairy so we picked you up a tub of ice cream. We are pretty sure that was like
60% of the reason he called us over, because he's able to give his daughter a
blessing himself, but I love the guy and I’m going to miss correlating at his
house.
Tuesday- District meeting, we've been keeping the focus
lately on teaching the lessons so we split into two groups and took turns
teaching each other. It's weird because when your teaching missionaries we want
to bring spiritual enlightenment so we get a lot more in depth, but when you’re
teaching investigators explaining all this stuff has to be a lot simpler. Today
the ZLs had a couple of double scheduled lessons and we didn’t have anything
scheduled for the night so we went on exchanges, and doubled up on their area.
I went with Elder Bushman, and we from there went on splits with members, so I
met Cheryl really nice lady that basically works to hard, and she talked for
most of the time then I basically shared a scripture and headed to the next
appointment. With Jarrett he recently got out of prison and he is awesome, like
obviously mistakes were made but he's been taking the lessons and is already
being a member missionary, he's sending B.o.M to his family and friends. He won’t
be able to be baptized until he’s off parole but he’s so solid.
Wednesday- A slower day but it was good, we took Martha (a less
active) to the V.C and watched the restoration video, and we also had Jason's
interview! That’s about all I remember from today.
Thursday- Planning day, so the morning was basically
planning, but the afternoon got better. We had a lesson with the Hebdons and we
finally finished L1 and we've had several lessons with them, they talk a lot
and we get along so the lessons take a while, but I really feel like they are
progressing well! Then we went and saw the Staleys and reviewed L3 with them.
So last week Meadow finally warmed up to us and she talked none stop, then this
week we brought over a new face just a guy preparing to go on a mission and she
was super shy again. Then we were going to meet with Dave but he sent us a
message and said, I think I’ll hold off on seeing you guys until next week I
want to read the book of Mormon so we have something to talk about. I have no
clue if he meant the whole thing or just like some chapters but at least he's
showing interest.
Friday- Back to work at the soup kitchen we always meet a
few crazy people there this time his name was Wayne and he was super nice but
he kept giving us hugs and stuff saying how awesome we were for serving
missions, and I’m pretty sure he isn’t LDS but hey potential. Then we helped
Green and Christensen (they were on exchanges) gives a blessing to this crazy
lady. She had a heart of gold but she was a little out there. We went and saw
Dominic and he was being a bum to us because he was grounded but, his mom ended
up texting his dad while we were there and he now has permission to be
baptized! Then on our way to dinner we met a schizophrenic guy and he was super
nice but just a little weird, there were a lot of crazy people today.
Saturday- Jason's baptism! nuff said! but it was a really
good service his soon to be family in law did a really good job with the
program. During a video/testimony intermission we gave while they changed the
AP's called us about transfers... worst timing in the world. then we had a
lunch in over at their house, but left a bit early to start moving. Not for
transfers just the third time I’ve moved apartments in the same area, so I
haven't even bothered unpacking because I’m going to be gone to Pocatello soon.
Sunday- Busy day we tried to make it to all our wards so I
could say good byes to people but the 26th ward cancelled church because they
had a power outage. So we didn’t make it to the 26 and 28th ward. But Bishop
Petersen did call me up on the stand to give a farewell testimony; I guess is
what I would call it. But it was a crazy busy day in the 11th ward, Jason got
confirmed and they had a missionary home coming. We finished up the day by
visiting Melba so I had to break the news that I was for sure leaving. Just
been a crazy week
Anyways I hope you all are doing well!!!
