Good news! Our mission president is going to be back on the following Monday. He was cleared for duty and is coming back to the trenches. So we are excited about that. We have transfers coming up. So I am indifferent. I love it here but change is good.
Monday-
We had a good day. We played a bunch of sports. It is difficult to go somewhere else because there is a bunch of cool things to go see but some of them cost money. And, we live the farthest away from all the p day activities. Plus traffic is bad news. So we play some sports. We play this game called scatter ball, but I call it scatter brains...that is usually what happens.
Tuesday-
We had a good district meeting today. We talked about following up. Because if we don't follow up we will never know if they did the commitment that we left. It was good. Then we were on exchanges. I stayed because Elder Johansen felt he should go and help the work in the other area. So I stayed and we were heading out the door after lunch and we get a call for someone who needed some things moved. So we changed and went to help move. We were there to help move some of the big stuff. It was a struggle. The guy who we were helping move the stuff would always stop and take a break. As well as the other missionary. So they kept trading out. We are there to work not to stand and wait. So I wouldn't let them rest haha. That definitely took a good chunk of the day.
Wednesday-
We had an interview with our mission president. So that was cool get to know who he is. We had a good talk. Then later that day we were able to put a person on date for the 27th. More on that story later.
Thursday-
We had a few good lesson. But the story of the week is the canceling of the appointments. Most of them this week fell through. Not so good. It made for some really long days. Because we have a teaching day then it turns into a full day of finding.
Friday-
We had a good lesson with this guy named Bill. He is an 80 year old man who is kinda a loner. So we have been teaching him. He has had some concerns come up and we have helped him work through those. We're excited to begin teaching him more. He is our number 1 prospect for baptism.
Saturday-
We got spiritually sucker punched. Like hard too! Our person we put on date told us that she didn't want to be baptized anymore. She didn't feel like it was the right time for her and she doesn't want to meet with us again. Then we found out from her grandma that it was just a negative influence from her family. We are still going to try to get in there. Because, she was ready... she came to us and asked if she could be baptized. She will come around.
Sunday-
We had a good Ward conference Sunday. It was a good meeting. Little weird but I can't expect anything different then that here.
