6-17-13

So I was writing my email and it all erased. dang it. oh well. Everything will be ok. It just will be a little shorter then before.
         Monday we went to the zoo. When I saw the elephants swimming it made me trunky. Get it because they got trunks? maybe not as funny as a I thought It was great because the zoo is free so it was a blast to be there!
      Tuesday we taught a couple of lessons. One with Rick and Teresa. We almost dropped them but then they said they want to move forward. So we will give them another chance at it. Then we taught our neighbors. It was good.
       Wednesday we had d meet which was fun. then after we had a lesson where we picked up a couple of new gators. Then we went to East St. Louis at the church there for a dinner thing they were doing for a missionary who is serving there who is going home this week. It was so cool to see the branch again! I miss them. They all remembered me also right when I walked in. Most of them were screaming with joy. haha it was classic. Got to love those people.
       Thursday was a good busy day. We first went on base to get our passes to go on. Then we taught the Andrew. He will be baptized very soon! Then we went to have dinner and a lesson with the Lockamy families. One of my favorite families here. Then we had an appointment with the Pyles. Then with Jessica. It was a good day.
        Friday was great! We went to the Temple that morning. We have a new gator Tangula. She is way awesome. She is a bus driver and we taught her and hopefully we can see some awesome things happen very soon with her. We had another appointment with Rick and his family. It went a bit better this time. We started exchanges that night and it went well. It was a lot of fun.
      Saturday was a slower day. We had to bus a ton and what not. We only got a lesson in that day. But it was still good.
    Sunday we had two gators come to church! It was amazing! Things are going well here. This week ended up being pulled all together in the end. We had a lesson with Terrion and his wife and picked the wife up as a new gator. it was good. have a great week!
