This week has been interesting. It was very rewarding once we hit Sunday though!
Monday, fun day, pday. We emailed that morning and went to the Stake Center for zone pday. It was a good one except for one missionary who is mentally ill who had a freak out there while we were playing basketball. He wasnt even playing. He just walked in and was crazy. Now I am pretty sure he heading home. So that was kinda sad. We have more and more missionaries go home since this age change. Just some people can not take the stress of a mission. That night we had dinner with the Penet family who is aweosme and now is fellowshiping one our of new gator families!
Tuesday was a busy day for us traveling around and seeing everyone and our appointments. But it stunk. We had 3 appointments fall through that day. We rode the buses forever also. But whatever. We did pick up two new gators which was awesome. We were coming back for dinner and then we had a couple of people stop us while we were walking home. We taught them then and there. There names were Jessica and Jeremy. They were cool. They even have a member of the church who is living with them who is inactive with them also. So it is cool. That night we went with President Goodrich in our ward. He is in the Temple Presidency. He is way awesome. We had fun with him also. He used to be a mission President also in California. So he knows his stuff. He took us to some awesome ice cream after.
Wednesday we had d-meet. We had some fun role plays that meeting. After we went to the worst pizza buffet though... After that we went to have an appointment with Rick and Teresa which went well. The rest of the day we spent trying to see many different people. It was good.
Thursday we had an appointment with the Miller family. First we did some yard work there. He had us fish with him for a bit behind his house. He lives on a lake. I caught a bass. It was cool. We had a good lesson with his family and also had dinner there too!
Friday we had an appointment with Ryan and Anna that went well. It was good. Then we saw a pm family the Pyles. Then had dinner with the Rebers that night. They are one of my fav families here. We also had weekly planning that day. It was fun.
Saturday we had another appointment with Rick and Treesa. It went good. They did come to church again though... It is a struggle with them. That night we went to a Rodeo with the Goodrichs and there non member in laws! It was awesome. My comp was way excited because he is a high school national champ in calf roping. He is way good with a rope. It was great though. We got along great with the non members. It was awesome because this guy was bull riding and got bucked off then the bull lifted him up in the air hitting his butt. It was classic. He is ok though so no worries. Just a broken tailbone maybe.
Sunday we had church. We had the one gator there which was awesome. Then a part member family came to church also. The son who is 9 wants to be baptized and the mom wants him baptized too so we will have a batpism in a couple of weeks or maybe even three weeks. Depending on how fast he learns! That was a miracle!
Hope you all have a good week!
