Hey hey hey, Its is Elder Derek Turner. And this week has been great! I hope you all had a great 4th of July. I had an amazing one here in St. Louis!
Monday was a fun day. We had zone pday. So what we did was play Basketball all day long. Then after that we got picked up by Bro. Mohlman to go to an appointment wtih Teresa and her mother Bonnie. It went very well. We taught them the first lesson. It was our first time meeting with Bonnie. She really liked the lesson that we taught. It really made sense to her.
Tuesday was good. We only had one appointment happen that day when we had a couple others. The only lesson we had that day was with Randy at the Sudlows, a family in the ward. They are really cool though. It was great to get our gator to a membhers home for a lesson and dinner. We taught him the first lesson as well.
Wednesday was fun. We had d meet then we wetn to chipotle after where there was a family from Utah who was there and they paid for all of the 10 different missionaries lunches there. It was awesome! We made a good choice in going to there. haha We ended up pointments fall through again. But we had a great lesson that night with Bonnie and Teresa. President Goodrich, a member of the Temple Presidency and also former mission prez in San Fernando came with us to that appointment. Best member present lesson I have ever had with him. He was amazing. It was hilarious when we left because they Teresa has 6 year old girl triplets and they wanted to do the to ti ta dance? So we did it and President Goodrich also joined in. Good times. We also set a date for Teresa to be baptized!
Thursday was 4th of July! It was great. We met the new mission President and his family. It was great. They are way cool. I feel bad for their daughter who has to do her senior year of high school out here. Then we had a lesson. Then we played kickball. Then went to the WML house for a bbq then we went to the Arch for the Fireworks. It was such a great show. So many people were there!!! It was crazy! We got to stay out late that night too.
Friday we had weekly planning which was fun especailly with the late night we had the night before. It was so tiring. We had a good lesson with Jeff at Karens. He is a new gator along with Bonnie. That night we had a lesson and then we played some volleyball with Randy and a ton of people from the other ward that we were invited to.
Saturday we taught Andrew Ackerman. He is getting Baptized this week!!! yeah! thats all that really happened that day that was special.
Sunday we had church. We had a couple of gators there. 3 did not come who promissed they would. Teresa and Bonnies mom and grandma went to the hospital that morning unexpectadly and is dieing so that is a legit excuse. It was great. I bore my testimony in Sacrament meeting. It was fun I used a surfing anology to missionary work this time. It was cool. That night we saw Teresa and taught Roger for the first time. Another new gator! yeah!
Hope you all have a good week!
Love,
