This was transfer week, Saturday night we got the call for what is going to happen this next transfer! Many cool things are happening! Stay tuned in for what has happened this awesome week!
Monday we went to the History Mueseum here in the City. It was alright, I was not very impressed though. It could of been way better then it was. There wasn't very much History that was very interesting. OH well. That night we had dinner and a lesson with Monica who will get baptized a week from this Saturday.
Tuesday was a great day. We had D-Meet that morning Then went by a couple of different potentials and found a few that were good also. We had a good lesson with Chauncei about repentance and just taking one thing at a time because trying to do everything at once. So it is very step by step with him. We then took Riley, the blind guy to teach Monica. Riley is so awesome. ONe of the most favorite people I have met on my mission. There we started teaching her little brother too. We have been trying to get the mother and her sister in on it also. But it has not worked. But it is sweet to start teaching her Brother Lance.
Wednesday Was a good day also. We had a lot of more checking on all of our pm/la's to do. We spent almost the whole day doing that. It was good because our Mission President asked us to do all of that. We did find some great potential with the pms. It was cool to see. We are already working with some as is. We have been having succes with them. That night we had dinner and a lesson with the Filius family. They are also way awesome. They made Taco Salad which is one of my favorites. haha Also that day when we were driving and seeing our pm's we saw a lady raking her leaves. We pulled over and we raked them for her and now we will be having an appointment with her this Saturday! It was a way cool experionce.
Thursday was a good day. We had a some appointments end up falling through. But during those times we found some great potentials though to teach who we have return appointments with. Hopefully we will be getting many new investigators this next week! That day it went from being 85 degrees to being under 45 degrees. All in and hour it dropped that fast! It was insane! So crazy! We had a member pick us up at one of the Metro link stations because it was raining so hard! Then they came with us to an appointment with Andrea and Diaviance. It was a great appointment. We set a baptismal date with them two for December 1st! Way cool! It was a way aweomse appointment.
Friday was good. Except for the couple of appointments that fell through. We had weekly planning that day and had to go down to Fenton so Elder Barta could go to his doctor appointment. So we went down there. Then after we went and had lunch and did weekly planning at China 1 a chinese returant owned by a member where we can get free food. It was in the next ward over from Fenton where my comp served last. Then we got a call telling us that we had to go pick up the Florissant missionaries to the same doctor because one of them had an appointment there also. So we got them from a metro station and took them there. And when we were there again I saw one of my investigators that I taught while I was there in Fenton who is getting Baptized soon!!! That was way cool to see her. Then we finally got back and had a good appointment with Monica. It was awesome. We finished teaching her the Plan of Salvation. Friday night we started exchanges. I went with Elder Anderson to Hazelwood 1 area.
Saturday was full of crazy stuff. Elder Anderson and I went to go help this 94 year old women clean her yard. WHile doing so Elder Anderson was trimming the hedge with an eletirical trimmer and while adjusting his grip he cut his finger open pretty badly. So a member took him and I to the ER. We were there for quite a while. It was kinda weird being in street clothes there and being there for a long time. I did get to catch some football games while waiting that whole time;) He had to get mulitple stiches. But now he is good! After that whole ordeal we went to the ward trunk or treat party. We had half of our investigators show up! That was awesome! They had a Chili cook off too where we got to be the judges over all the chili. SO we had to try over 20 different kinds of chili and judge them all. They had them in different categories. The Spicy was the last one to try. That was intersting I have to say. Most of them were not very spicy. Until we got to the last one which was the atomic heat. It was supposed to be so spicier then a Ghost pepper. I took a good bite of hit. But it was not as bad as I thought it would be. MY tounge and lips were just numb. NO big deal at all. But it did have way good flavor to it though. That night after we went to the Moises for a lesson. They could not make it to the ward activity because they had to go to a concert. It was a good lesson. They are awesome. Once they found out that we were both staying they asked us both to baptize them! So then after that we got transfer calls! I am staying here and so Is my companion. I get to kill him off because this is his last transfer! We should have very many baptisms happen this transfer so it will be way cool.
Sunday was great. The Moises and Monica came to church. It was the primary program also so it was way funny. This little girl who was at the mic kept licking it. Kinda gross. haha So then we had an appointment with Danny after church. We committed him to Baptism and almost got a date too!!! It was really cool. So the success here is awesome.
This area has a lot of good things going here. It will be exciting to be here one more transfer and Baptize a lot of people. Cool stuff! God Bless all of you.
Love,
Elder Derek Turner
