Hello everyone! I am so glad to email you all. Yesterday we did not get to email because we went to St. Louis yesterday to go get interviews for Temple recomends so we got the ok to email today instead. So here is how the week went boys and girls!
Monday after we emailed we hung out with someother missionaries. Then we went to the Petersens with Randy for dinner and a lesson it was great!
Tuesday we had a great lesson with Teresa where she had some friends over and we picked 3 of the up as new gators also! It was pretty cool!
Wednesday was an exciting day. We had d-meet. After that we were picked up by the Gilberts, one of my good friends from byui's family to go to lunch. Then they took us to the doctors also because My knee has been super swollen and not sure what was wrong with it. I know i did not hurt it, it was just randomly swollen. Found out that it was swollen because my knee was infected from a cist that burst open on the inside. The cist was caused from a scar that I got years ago doing something stupid I am sure. So he drained it out and now I am on meds. It is doing much better now. I was told to not walk on it very much for the rest of the week. I told him we had to go teach people. He told me that I could go to appointments we had set up already but I needed to be laying down with my leg elevated. So Thats what I have had to do this past week. Even though I did not completely stay down as much as I should of... That night we had a couple of appointments. One with the Perez family. They had a couple of non member friends over wanting to be taught so we taught them:) Then we taught Will and Alyssa.
Thursday was good. We had a couple of appointemnts fall through though. We did teach this member ref, Vince. He was interesting to say the least.
Friday we had an appointment with Randy at Bro Smiths. It was great. He was for sure ready to be baptized on August the 10th. My last saturday in the mission. He asked me to Baptize him personally. And I accepted. It way awesome to finish off with one last Baptism!
Saturday we got to see a few people. We also went to the Ward party with Randy. It was fun and what not.
Sunday was great. We had Jeff at church and also Randy of course, and Teresa came finally! After teaching her since I have been here she came to church. It has been a struggle to get her there let me tell you. Then we had an appointment with her that night because she had to elave church early for work. She really loved it.
Monday we went to the mission home. My Comp and I challenged out mission president and his daughter to a doubles match in Tennis because They are big into it. We did great for the first 4 games, it was tied. Then they pulled away and won 3 games in a row. They are good.... haha They were close games. It was way fun. It was the first fun thing they have done since they got here. So they were glad to play. We had lunch at the mission home. Weird I will be there again in 2 weeks... We got our temple recomend interviews, my comp and I. So we got them renewed before they expired. So we got apporved to email today because of all the travel and the intervews and what not. We had dinner with a great family last ngiht the Coles.
Today should be a good day also!
Love,
