8-5-13

Hello everyone. What a week it has been. It is awesome though. This is how the week went:)
    Tuesday was good. We had a good appointment that night with Teresa, Alyssa, Will and our new gator Dakota. It was great. We taught the 10 commandments to her because we are trying to help her prepare for Baptism! But it will not happen until after I go home. Oh well.
        Wednesday was awesome. We had a great lesson With Jeff and Karen. He is really starting to progress more.
        Thursday we had d-meet which was alright. Then we saw some part member families like the Astles. We have been trying to get a hold of them for a long time now. We had a great appointment that night With Randy. We taught him the 10 commandments also. Only two more lessons with him before his baptism this Saturday!
             Friday we went looking for some of our pms and our former gators who we have not been in contact for a long time. We had some success but we we were also not able to get a hold of a lot of people we wanted to see. We had a lot of fun that night at the Rebers home. We always do.
        Saturday we had some good appointments. We had one with the Miller family. Then we had a great dinner and lesson with the Kreugers. One of my favorite families here.
        Sunday was great because the Millers came to church! and of course Randy was there. He always is. I bore my testimony in church because it is my last chance to do it there. We then went back to our place to change out of our suits. We started heading to our dinner appointment at the Coles. On our way walking to the Metro station to catch the train I had a feeling to go a different way that took us longer to get there. A more scenic route. We heard some gun shots. We kept walking to the metro station. It did not phase us. We get to the scene of the shooting a couple mins after it happened. If we took the other way we would of been probably been right there when the shooting happened. God was watching out for us. We then had a great time at the Coles. They had a non member friend come over and we taught him and picked him up as a new gator. It was a great week!
     Today we will go to St. Louis probably and have fun in the city. Have a great week. See you soon!
Love,
