Today is the first day of the new transfer. We have transfer meeting this Wednesday. Stay tuned in to find out what is going on this next transfer!
Monday we went to the Zoo in Forest Park because we were having great weather that day. It has been the second time I have ever been there. It was fun though because a lot of the Animals were very lively that day. We got to see a Lion Roar which was cool and many other things. It was a fun time. Then we had dinner at the Rices that night. Then after dinner there we went to the Moises to have a lesson with them. They want us around as much as they can especially because my companion is going home in a couple of days.
Tuesday was a good day. We had many appointments fall through but we had many appointments still happen too. It was a jammed packed day. We had D-meet that morning. We had a good lesson with Bree, Laran, and Johnathon who we picked up as a new gator that day. Every time we go there we have a new gator it seems. We had a good lesson with the Filius family that night. We watched JS:PotR. It was good.
Wednesday we met up with Beth and and her parents and one of her friends. They took us downtown to a place called The Fountain which had good food but even better Ice Cream. It was really good Ice Cream. It was awesome. Beths parents love us. They would love to have us around them a ton if they could. We had a great time though. We had 3 appointments fall through that day which stunk because they were are only 3 appointments after the whole lunch thing. It stunck because we had to go out trying to get in contact with other investigators we have nto seen in a week or so.
Thursday was great. Linda has not been at church for a couple of weeks so we showed up and randomly visited her. She had another guy friend in there so we were able to visit with her and share a message with her. That night we had dinner with the Moises. It was just us and Phil and Bro Russell because everyone else was out then Beth Chloe and Peyton showed up and we had a lesson with them also and introduced the Stop Smoking workshop to her and Set a date for her and Peyton to be Baptised on the 29th of this month.
Friday was great also. We had a lesson with Tamika and Lee that morning. They know they need to get married and talked about that a lot with us because they have two kids and are living together and are not married. We are hoping we will be making some progress with that soon. But we taught them the first lesson in full. It went great. Then we had a lesson with Chauncei at Rileys place. He went good Chauncei is starting to have great understanding of the Gospel and is building his testimony greatly. That night the Moises picked us up to take us to the Ward Christmas Party. It was great! We had half of our investigators there which was way awesome. They all had a great time!
Saturday we had 4 appiontments set. Two of them fell through. We had a good lesson with Bree and John Bro long and Monica came with us to that. They we had a good apointment with Sam. We taught him the Plan of Salvation. It was great because he really understood a lot of it. Some of it was a bit new though. But it went great none the less. After that Bro. Gonzo came to pick us up and take us to our next appiontment. We showed up and they were not there so we went to contact a media refferal that we got the day before with him. The ladies name was Kendra. we contacted her and she let us right into her home and we taught her the first lesson. It went great! So it is cool to pick up a new gator that day also. That night we got the transfer call. I am staying here! I am getting Elder Gibbs as my new comp. It will be fun!
Sunday was good. Elder Barta my comp was a little sad because it was his last Sunday on the mission. Gonzo's made Carne Asada special becuase it was his last time there. Such good food there. yummmm. We then went to the Moises that night with Bro Gonzo and had a lesson with them and also the Phils sister and her husband. It went great!
Today we still do not have a plan on what to do. We never do. haha It is way cold today though! it is freezing! I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Derek Turner
