We had a really good week. Last week for Pday we played tennis. It was a cool day to play since it was only like 100 degrees.
Tuesday-
We had a pretty good day. We have been roasting. It has been hot! We taught a less active about baptism. He is 8 and is getting baptized but he really doesn't know a whole lot because his parents don't come very much. So we go and teach them by teaching him. We then had a meeting with the bishop. That was a good transfer in the making. He was a busy guy.
Wednesday-
We had a district meeting. It actually was one of the best. As I was going through the preparation for it, I felt really strongly that the whole district needed to work on patience. That was really good to get that impression. I actually trained the district on making our studies more effective. It went really well. Then we went on an exchange. I went to the zone leaders area. It went really well. We got there to the area and I needed a drink so I open their fridge and it is either drink skim milk or this Pepsi I found. It turns out that that was a twenty year old Pepsi haha!! It tasted about the same as normal. So pretty much it is gross in general. (Alex didn’t like soda before his mission.)
We had some early morning miracles. The member we had going to accompany us to a lesson replied like 5 minutes before we were supposed to go to the lesson. We are teaching a less active lady that wants to come back in the gospel but she doesn't want to push her non member husband away. So we went over to her house. She is so nice - you can tell she has a testimony. She said she wants to be back but doesn't know how. We just invited her to read scriptures and pray everyday. She so far has, and it has been awesome. Then the rest of the day we were just trying to find some people. We went out with a member but nobody was home.
Friday-
We had a good day. We planned and then went out working and taught this lady right before we had to head in. It was a little miracle at the end of the day.
Saturday-
This was a day of shut doors - not in our face but literally no one was home. We then went and tried to make some phone calls to people to see if we could reach them.
Sunday-
We got a text from a returned missionary and he wanted to go out with us so we were
able to clean up the records of some of the people there. We made contact with
some of the people we haven't been able to see. I really enjoyed this week. Just really figuring out the work here. During church I had a thought that said, “Who do you want a baptism for?” So I thought about that, and my mindset was wrong. I was kinda doing it
for me, rather then the Lord or the ward. So that was a humbling experience but a great one. It should be another stellar week.
