I’m actually excited for the holidays! Well it’s been an eventful week!
Okay so Monday night we ate dinner with the B family whom are basically awesome and I always just feel at home around them. But anyways after dinner they came with us to a new investigator’s house and we was having a really rough night and just opened up and vented for about an hour and you could tell it helped him out just having people to talk to about what was going on and it was some pretty crazy stuff but he really seemed to take a liking to the B’s so that was really good.
Tuesday- we went and saw J. Yes it was J that got baptized last week sorry for not saying that hah but we sat down and she talked to us for about an hour and a half and gave us advice about our futures and how she thinks we are just extraordinary and that we can go far and she said she was giving us the advice because we need more people like us to go far in life so it was really interesting stuff and we just had a good long conversation then taught a little bit about temples and what we do there. That was pretty much the highlight of Tuesday. Just did the usual knock some doors and what not.
Wednesday was a very rough day. Every single one of our plans fell through and we ended up tracting a ton that day with pretty much no luck. Nobody was answering the doors and the ones that did just politely turned us away. We did have a very good dinner with the M Family again. The ones that have the kids I love. The one from the picture. Yeah except that the mom wasn’t there so her nonmember husband fed us and we got to have a good talk with him. I’m going to be sad to have to leave them because J M was starting to seem a little bit more interested in the church again. He has had all the lessons but I’m not entirely sure what is stopping him from baptism.
Thursday- we had a service project on Thursday that was helping to serve Thanksgiving dinner at a blind house. It was actually really fun and we met some nice people. They had a piano and while we were waiting for the blind people to get out of their classes and come to dinner I sat down and played and a few older ladies came and listened and talked to me and then when they announced that there were missionaries volunteering they also said "we also have an excellent piano player who might be our entertainment tonight!" haha but I never did because I was busy and didn’t have enough songs to play. I didn’t have my music with me so it was all by memory anyways. After that we went to this lady’s house who is like 83 and she talked to us for 2 hours and we kept trying to get a word in and she would just keep going. It was really funny and she kept saying "okay I need to shut up now and let you talk" and then she would start talking again hah we ate dinner alone that night and then went back to see T who we had seen Monday and he was doing a lot better. He made us cookies and we sat and talked for quite a bit. He also was quite the talker. But I can really see him jumping into the church and being an awesome member!
Friday- we got a call around 11 that the bishop storehouse needed our help so we went there and it turns out there were only like 8 volunteers and it was the busiest day of the year with like 103 orders that needed to be filled and they usually start around 9 but they had just started when we got there. It was a bad situation but we helped for a few hours and the W’s who are in charge of the storehouse were very very thankful. We then met with S who I baptized and had a good talk with them. S isn’t so shy anymore. When we first met her she wouldn’t say a single word to us. Now every time she sees me she gets a big smile and gives me a big wave. After dinner our plans fell through and so we went up to see Brother C who is in the ward and is just a super awesome guy. we took brownies over and when he answered the doors I said "we brought a scripture message and some brownies." and he smiled and let us in and gave us some pizza and we had a pretty good talk and met his youngest daughter who was visiting from BYU and when his wife got home we shared our scripture message and had to come home.
Saturday- most of the day was used going up to W in the mountains for a baptism of one of Elder T’s old investigators. For dinner we went to the L’s who turns out her brother is the Bishop of the Knolls ward!! I’m sure you know who he is if that is the case! After that we went to the choir practice again and on the way home we got “the call”...... I’m getting transferred. I don’t know what to think about it. I’m sad to leave the ward but I’m excited to go to a new area so I find out tomorrow where I go and I’ll let you all know next week!
Sunday- took lots of pictures and said my goodbyes.
That’s about all for the week. Next week I’ll let you know about my area and all that good stuff. Love you all!!
