What a week it has been. Got a new comp in a new area and things are going good. I am not serving in my cousins old area when he served in this mission like 6 years ago or something.
Monday was pretty simple. I packed the whole day until at night we had a dinner and lesson at the banks home. Then saw Caleb. I do not like packing....
Tuesday was a busy day. We went and stopped by many different investigators homes and what not. We had a good lesson with Tobermans. It was fun Then we had a good appointment with the Files and mooths. Then we went by the WML place to say goodbye to him and thank him for everything because he has been the best WML I have ever had! It was amazing the things he did for us. Then we finsished up the night at the Bocchicos. It was good though! We had a lot of funt here teachinga lesson and enjoying good company. That night when we returned we I did my last goodbye to the Ison family. They have been awesome to live with!
Wednesday we were picked up way early to start heading to St. Louis. Bro. Vogel took us. He is amazing! It was only an hour drive or so to my new area. So we are not to far away from St. Louis but it stil in the middle of no where. we have a huge area and hardly any people in it. We live in a place called Desloge outside of Potosi. Right next to a Walmart! yes. It was the greatest thing when we pulled up and I saw that! We went to a couple of appoitnments with the Kaynes and with Kathrine. My new Comp is Elder Schriver from Enterprise Utah. This is his 5th transfer here. So he knows the area pretty well. Thank goodness I have gps for when I am drving around though. It was a good day of unpacking things.
Thursday we had d meet. It was ok. A cool family fed us though lunch down in the Farmington ward. the Holme I believe. The mom and dad both served in this mission back in like 1991 to 1993 i believe. Funny thing they returned here. It was cool though. Then We went to contact a referal. And we ended up picking the guy up as a new gator. His name is Arthur. A cool old guy. Then we came back and had a lesson with Tim which was good also. We then were going around trying to get in touch with some others and what not.
Friday was awesome. We had a lesson with Missy who will be baptized in a couple weeks. Then we had a good lesson with another person that i can not remember the name... Then We had a lesson with Kayla. Then we went down to the church to go place some basketball. We taught a lesson to one of the members gf and picked her up as a new gator. Then we played bball with gators. It was great.
Then Saturday was my comps bday. It was fun. We went by to try and see people. that night we went to Kaylas place for a Bon Fire for my comps bday. We ended up teaching a lesson and picking up a couple of new gators which she has friends who wanted to learn and what not. That was awesome.
Sunday was good. At church everyone remembered my cousin who served here in this ward. It was funny. So they are excited that I am here. haha So Things are going well here. Today we will go play some bball. So it will be fun. Not sure what else we will do yet. Have a great week everyone!
