7-22-13

Hello, it is Monday again! I do not have very many more times emailing you all, well as a missionary I mean. Crazy how two years fly by so fast! Let me give you a run down on how this week went!
      Monday was fun. We had dinner wtih the Meinhart family. They are great. We then went with Bro Meinhart to teach Teresa. It is getting hard to help her progress. She is not really moving forward. it is frustrating... Oh well.
       Tuesday was a good day. We had interviews with the new mission President! It was fun. He was like well you go home soon so, dont be worried about it. And that was about it. haha We had a big long meeting there after interviews. But then After that we started exchanges. Elder Belnap came to my area with me. It was fun. We had dinner with the kreugers a part member family. Ht e nm husband is cool. we had a good lesson with them that night. And dinner. Yum!
     Wednesday we drove down to Waterloo for d-meet. Well another set drove us because we dont have a car. It was fun though because while we were waiting for the missionaries to come open the building up and get there we ran through the corn fields next to the church. It was fun. After D meet we came back and had an appointment with Jeff and Karen. it went well. Jeff Liked church. Then our next appointment canceled... Then we met with Randy at Bro Smiths place and taught a lesson. We taught the 3rd. It went so very well. It was fantastic:)
        Thursday my comp starting feeling sick. But we went out trying to contact people and what not. The only lesson we had was with Maurice that went alright. It was good still. We taught him the 1st. He randomly showed up with his wife at church last week. htey did not come this week though...
      Friday was a very slow day. My comp was really sick that day so we stayed at our place. he slept most of the day. I sat there, really really bored. It was not so fun... But oh well.
        Saturday morning we had breakfast with a member who we helped clear this forest in their backyard. We had this heavy duty machine and it worked so well. Then after doing that for many hours we went to lunch at the Bishops. Then We went to go teach Chip. We had a great lesson with him. He is going through a rough time also. His power was shut off the day before. Then we had a good appoitnment with Teresa. She asked for a blessing so I gave her one. It really did help her out. Then we went and had dinner with on of my fav familys out here the Mohlmans.
         Sunday we only had one gator come to church... but at least we get someone there every week. It impresses the ward a lot. Its awesome. Then after that we taught Chris a new gator. It was hard to keep it focused though at times...
        Today we still ahve no clue what we are doing. oh well! Have a fun week!
Love,
