Season 7 Episode 2, 5-2-16

Mother’s day Skype will work. We will do it at 7 our time so 8 for you. Same

way we did for Christmas. We had a very busy week.

Tuesday-

My comp was sick. We were heading out the door when he was feeling sick. It was right after our lunch so from 1-9, I was inside basically by myself. So I watched some goats for little bit. Our view of the balcony is  of a trash park. It has 5 boats, 1 jeep, 1 hot tub, 2 washing machines, 1 forklift (that is actually new), a sketchy van, 2 goats, and 4 geese (those are the most annoying things in the morning). It was a very long day.

Wednesday-

We had a really good district meeting. Then right after, we went on an exchange with the district leader. I stayed and got Elder Holloway. He has only been out a week. We headed right over to the hospital to give a blessing to a guy. Then after that we headed to this less active’s house. He started off nice, he said he has had a rough past. Then he started letting it all loose. He was pulling out some anti. The spirit left so fast. It left us both with this nasty, disgusting feeling. I

felt bad because Elder Holloway has only been out a week. We bore our testimonies and left. I was just mad that he did that. Starts off all nice and then turns into that!!! But, Elder Holloway wasn't shaken. After that we went to visit a guy who is in a part member family. He is a lot stubborn! We actually helped him out this time. Then we headed over to the Kabales. Oh man that was an interesting lesson. They are from the Congo and don't speak very much English. And, they were way too distracted for us to teach. We then went to the Koch family. Their daughter is nine and is going to be baptized on Saturday. We just went over the interview with her to get everything ready for the baptism. Then we gave a blessing to this lady in the Ward. We found out Sunday that she had massive back pain and after the blessing she had no pain.

Thursday-

We had a good day even though the appointments we had fell through all day. We had a good lesson with a less active lady and her son. He was recently ordained a teacher. We talked to him about the sacrament, and really what power he holds. It was good. His mom mentioned that she loves us coming over to visit. It gives her some motivation to come to church which he has been doing on his own. She bore her testimony which is good.

Friday-

We planned and planned some more. We also taught a cool lesson to an atheist. He was actually wanting to search for who God is. He just doesn't know where to find it. He also said that if he is an atheist, then what that means after this life is... just nothing. It is a sad world those people live in. Just dark and confused. We gave him a Book of Mormon. He said he would read it and pray. Hopefully that goes somewhere.

Saturday-

I was on an exchange with the zone leaders. I was kinda nervous

because Elder Potter stayed. He has only been here a week and I hoped he could get around. But it was good. It was more a business day for us. Our lessons fell through and we worked on the area book. Then we had a baptism interview for Osha Koch. She passed and everyone is set for her baptism.

Sunday-

We were surprised when the Swingles walked into church. They canceled earlier because they were sick so we weren't expecting them. Lesson learned... always expect your gators to show up. It was fast Sunday and that usually makes me cringe. The people in this ward are so weird. Testimony meeting goes south very quickly. We are always ready to bring it back when we have to. Then we taught the Kabales. We just read a bit of the Book of Mormon with them. It was good  and they were able to understand it better. We then went to the Crandalls. I love this family. They are so cool. She was recently baptized and we are teaching her. She is from the south and makes the best food ever. I have eaten some weird stuff there but is the bomb because it tastes good. She won't let us teach her until we eat. (I figured out one of the reasons he loves this family!) We had a good lesson with her then headed to a few place before the night was up. Overall I would say was a good week. Next week should be sick. I will sent the pic of the goats. We usually throw bread at them.
