This was a good week, I really enjoyed it. There was a lot going on this week. Monday, New missionaries came in and we got to teach them about vehicles in the mission. It is always fun when the new missionaries come in. They have an awesome energy about them that is just fun to be around.
Tuesday was transfers and we spent pretty much all day running around. There was a set of Elders getting doubled into the Lake Side Park ward in Kentucky. They didn't have a ride back to their area so we ended up taking them. There was just one thing missing, the keys to their apartment. We called everyone we could think of to see if they had them. We got to their apartment and we were still unsuccessful. We just told them to go proselyte and we would get things figured out. Finally, we just had the apartment complex open it for us and they locks will probably have to be changed. That was a big hassle and during that, we were also trying to get other things done. That was just a crazy day!
Thursday, there were 3 cars that needed to get tiwis. A tiwi is what monitors our driving as missionaries. It was fun to see some more missionaries that day.
Friday, we went to go help clean out an apartment that missionaries will no longer be staying in. It was a good change of pace and was rather fun. I will most likely be doing a lot of that when I get into the swing of things as the Housing Coordinator.
Saturday was kinda weird because we actually started our day with proselyting! That hasn't happened in a while for me. Our first appointment fell through but our second appointment was with our investigator who is on date for baptism for the 29th. That was a really good lesson. We had noticed that she hadn't been reading the Book of Mormon very much. So we taught her about how the Book of Mormon can really help her. It was a very powerful lesson.
Sunday was good. Church was great. As soon as the member of the bishopric that was conducting turned the time to the congregation for testimony meeting, about a dozen people got up to bear their testimony. There were so many people that we went over on time and the other missionaries in the ward got off the stand without bearing their testimony. It was a good meeting. We had our investigator there. We barely got her there though. We got her a ride the night before but they wouldn't be able to take her home. We went to church with faith that someone would take her home. Someone said that they would so we didn't worry about it. When we went to the Welch's for dinner that night, Sister Welch told us, "I took your investigator home! She is great!" We weren't expecting her to but we are very happy that she did!
Something funny that has happened this week is that Elder Bee and I have started playing a new game. It is called "Guess how many people are going to think that we work at Kroger." Every time that we have gone to Kroger, there is at least one person that thinks that we work there. It is really funny. There was one lady that asked us a question, we politely told her we don't work there and she said, "Well sure you do!" She then saw that our name tags didn't say Kroger on them. It was funny.
Thank you, I love you!!!
