Well, it was a crazy good week. We have been loaded with stuff going
on. So we will start from the beginning.
Monday-
We had a fun Pday. We went to the park and played ultimate frisbee. Perfect day for it. Then we had a service project. We stopped by this family in the Ward earlier this week. We asked them if we could do anything for them. They said we could help weed. So we did and from 6-9, we weeded their garden.
Tuesday-
We had a zone meeting. Our Ward mission leader was out of town and we
haven't seen him. So we stopped by. It turns out he has a son who is working his way back into activity in the church. He hadn't been to church for 2 years. A miracle happened and we just talked with them for a second. We taught a
few good lessons. Then right at the end of the day we taught a lesson
to the Kabales. They are an African family. We read with the mom from the
Book of Mormon. She is understanding it. It was great. Then we weeded
another yard. We had to stop because there was a ton of mosquitos. The
member didn't want to fight them anymore. So we did about 3/4 of the
yard.
Wednesday-
We had our interviews. They are always a good time. President Taylor
is leaving in two transfers so it was his last interview with me. We talked
for a bit then he says, "You have been out how long?" I said, "About 10
months." He says "That is what I thought. You know what is happening,
right? The transfer going home is a large chunk of missionaries who
were superstars. The weight of the mission is going to be on your
Shoulders now. It is time to take it and run with it." Kinda a cool
thought. I am curious to see about what he does next transfer. Haha! But anyway, we had a crazy day. I was on an exchange with our district leader Elder Brase. He is a champ. Coolest guy and a great missionary. We stared off teaching some dude in the church parking lot. Then we went back and taught another guy and put him on date for baptism. That was sweet. His name is Shane. He just doesn't want to “go to hell”.... Those are his exact words. So, we told him how to avoid going there. Haha! The we taught a crazy Brazilian lady. She is crazy and energetic. Then we just worked hard and had a good day.
Thursday-
Nothing too exciting happened this day. We just had some really cool lessons.
Friday-
We taught this cool family. They have been through the ringer. They were
so crazy to teach because they had little ones running everywhere. But they promised us they would be at church. Then they weren't. Such a bummer. We taught Osha. She is a totally different person after her baptism. She is so much more happy than before! It is awesome!
Saturday-
We did some service in the morning and had lessons after that. So we
stayed busy.
Sunday-
We were kinda bummed that we didn't get any of our investigators at church. But we will. We found out some of the details on why they weren’t there. We will get them next time. Overall we had a busy and good week so I have no complaints.
Love,
Elder Astle
