Monday was pretty good. After emails and all that we had a dinner at the Morrisons again. You know, it's really cool to see what type of impact you make on a lot of lives. These kids are home schooled and when we go over, they always have cool stories or projects to tell that they've been doing the past week. I just love it.
Tuesday was actually pretty good. We had District Council and then after we decided to try and visit a few people we haven't yet. So we went to an area where a potential is, and we were looking for the house. Then as we get closer, we ask a neighbor of the potential where she lives. And we got talking and then we showed the video 'The Savior Understands Me' and it was powerful. Then we tried her house but she wasn't there. Then we went to a grandsons of a members house, but he wasn't there. Then we tried his parents, but they weren't there, but there were rakes, so we raked their leaves for a while, and then they came home and we talked with them for a little and we left. After we had The Restoration Lesson with Arian and Lillyanna and answered some of the families questions. We tried after a less active but no luck, then we got in contact with a referral. It was pretty good.
Wednesday was also really good. We went over to the Animal Shelter and did a lot of cleaning and taking out a lot of things, it was really cool and we broke glass that they didn't need haha. I'll have to send the video somehow and have my mom post it for this specific week. But that was fun. Then after we got back and got ready for the lesson with Elton. We taught the Word of Wisdom and the Plan of Salvation, and he took it all in. It's really exciting. Then after we drove up to more center Byhalia and decided to tract near President Griffiths house, and we met someone and she asked us to come back when her son is home. So then we ate at Subway, then we tried again but she wasn't awake. Then we went over to Presidents and helped him with a playground that he's building and had Hot Chocolate.
Thursday we had our studies and also called Gary to see what he's doing and if he needs any help (as usual). Turns out he did, so we went over to the new church site where he was located at and we helped put in dirt around the church site where the floral will be. And cleaned it up a little bit as well. Then we changed and went up Clear Creek and tried visiting people, but we were only to be able to get in Pat and Floyd and we visited with them for a little and answer some more questions about stuff. Then we had dinner at Mockys and talked with Mickey (Gary's older brother) about taking the lessons because he wants to be baptized! It was really exciting to hear. And then also I got myself into a stickler, I'm singing this Sunday (12/16) and I'm singing What Child Is This? So that's happening. Then we were able to visit the Rogers and gave the wife a blessing and talked about hunting and everything. It was really good.
Friday we did the Animal Shelter and talked about Light The World with everyone. Then we came back home and cleaned up a little and then had a apartment inspection, which was really good. Then we did studies, had a lesson over the phone with a potential, and I liked it. Then we had dinner at the Hardmans and I got some sheet music idea of what I'm going to be singing. And then we came back and did some contacting.
Saturday was kinda up and down. We did planning and studies, and got ready to go with Brother Roswell to try and visit people. It was little to no success, BUT we were able to meet a less active who's records are not in the branch yet. And she was really nice and invited us back Wednesday. Then we came back, talked to Cheryl on the phone for a little, and then had dinner at the Roswells.
Sunday was perry good. We had a good Christmas Primary Program and good potluck food after haha. Then after church we got a text from a member to go give a blessing to someone, so we went up to the Hills and talked with Sister Byrd for a little and gave her a blessing. Then after that we tried contacting someone we've been trying to get into for a while. No luck sadly, then we talked with Mickey again for a little, and got to know him more. It was really cool, then we had dinner at the Roswells and talked about a lot of things.
This week has been really something, but there is so much more that's happened this week.. Buuutttt I'll leave it till Monday. ;) I love you all, I hope you all have had a good week.
