Hello everyone. Everything was closed down yesterday and we were snowed in for a good amount of the day. It stunk but oh well. But hey here I am. And they have now just announced to us that us missionaries can now email not just family but also friends! And we can also email or recent converts too now! This is awesome though! It made me so excited to read that! So if you want to email me now because I know it is hard for a lot of you to write me just go ahead and send me an email! Go ahead and send me an email and tell me how you are doing!!! I could not believe it when they told us this! But hey it happened:) And we had some exciting things happen this week like we had Baptism! and This week I turn 21 on Wednesday March 27th! So here is how the week went!
Monday was a good day. We played racquetball like we always do just about. We were so supposed to have a lesson with the Perkins family but it did not happen. Not yet at least. Then we had a lesson at the Bochicio home. It went well. We picked up a new gator there also. We have a couple more to get that are in that house.
Tuesday was good also. We had many of appointments. But I was not in my own area because I had my exchange with E. Campbell because I am the DL. It was alright. We went up to Clinton for the day with a member to go see many different pm families. It was good. We were up there for most of the day. I actually have to go find an apartment up there for missionaries who will be opening that area next transfer. But that should be easy. I had to do it once before. It will be fun to do because it is interesting doing that whole process. We had some good work there though that day. We then went to Texas Roadhouse with the Clawsons whose family is moving into my ward back home! I got to meet one of the kids when he was visiting his family out here.
Wednesday we switched back. We had a good appointment with Dustin and Andrea. We reset a date for Dustin to be baptized! May 11th. We then had one of our last lessons with Mary before she was baptized. We then had another good appointment with another pm family.
Thursday was fun because the ZLs came to do there exchange with me and my comp. I was with E. Anderson. They just blitzed our area for the day which was cool because we got to set up 9 different appointments for that day for us split and go to. For a good part of the day though we had to go up to Clinton to look for a place for the opening area.There is nothing really up there to choose from though. Then we came back and went to go by to a couple of our appointments We went to visit a random pm family and we ended up talking to two of the neighbors and picked them up as new gators also! It was awesome! Then we had a good appointment with the Rice family which finished off our day. It was awesome. All command and conquer.
Friday we had a good lesson with the another pm family that went well. Then we had a lesson with Andrew young and his mother. He has been hared to teach because he can not be controlled. But he was well behaved this time and we had a really good lesson! And we also taught his friend who was there too who asked his parents if he could take the lessons!
Saturday was good. We had weekly planning. Oh yeah so much fun. But then we got prepare for Marys Baptism! It was awesome! One of my favorite services I have attended yet. Bro. Van Orden baptized her. My comp had to dress in white also and be in the water and assist in bring her out of the water because she is an bigger lady in her 70's so It helped to have that. It was good though. My comp and I performed a musical number also on the Uke and guitar and sung. My comp forgot an extra change of underwear and stuff so he was wet in his suit after the baptism... It was kinda funny though. That night we then had a lesson and Basketball!!!
Sunday was good. In Sacrament meeting Mary was confirmed. She asked me to confirm her so I got to do that which was way awesome to be able to do. I love confirming people! It was a great honor. That day after we got back from church all cars were grounded because the snow storm came it. It snowed a foot here! It was terrible! Plus Kyle who takes us out in his truck was not here in Decatur so we could not get out. It stunk because we had to miss out on a couple of appointments that day...
Monday was good. We were stuck shoveling snow all morning... We ended up being able to get out at night and shop and have a couple different appointments with the Banks and Irelands.
Today we will be going to Springfield for a zone conference. Yeah. Hope you all have good week!!! Bye!!!
Love,
