Monday after emails we got ready to go Caroling with our District in Collierville, Tennessee. We had Brother Roswell drop us off there, and the whole time he was poking around with us. Oh he's awesome, he really is haha. Then we went Caroling with a RM who lives in Collierville, he served in California. It was really fun. We only caroled two houses though, because the 2nd house invited us in, but it went really well for the Sisters. So that was exciting. Then we went to a dinner we were invited to in Collierville as well, and me and Elder Jackson ended up being Wise Men for a Nativity Program. And it was really funny. A dog tried to be a sheep. But that was all of Monday.
Tuesday was really good, and not gonna lie, it was pretty hard also. I made Pancakes, which turned out really good.... Surprisingly. And then we were able to talk to our families! I loved talking with them, but at the end, it was rough for me. I'm not going to hide it. I want to show that even some missionaries have a hard time even when having Faith in the Lord. I really miss you all, family and friend, and pray that the Lord will be with you always. After we called home, we walked around the neighborhood a little, met a few people, and then went to dinner at the Roswells. It was really good and we got hot sauce from them. Yayyy haha, then after dinner we came home and meditated for a little.
Wednesday was pretty good. We studied, planned, and then started doing some early contacting before President Hull took us to his place where we had dinner with the Hulls, Brother Wilson, and Elton. And it was really good and fun. Then after President Hull went with us and had a lesson with the Beckerdites, and they asked a lot more amazing questions. It's really cool to see that. I'm excited to see them get baptized soon.
Thursday was pretty slow, but we made a lot of progress. We did a lot of contacting, and planned for long term finding which was really good overall. And we made food as well. It was nice. Sadly a few of the appointments dropped through but we got a lot of contacting in and long term finding in.
Friday was really awesome! We had the Animal Shelter and cleaned up a few things, and helped drill in the walls together. Then after we came back home, ate lunch, and did studies, and then drove up and had District Council, and that was really good. We practiced a lot of scenarios. It was funny really haha. Then we had Taco Bell and got ready for Mike's Baptism! The baptism went really well. We've been working with him since before I came out on my Mission, and I'm thankful to finally see him enter the waters of baptism.
Saturday was really good also! We helped Brandon and Gary with the Church building putting up the roof. And then we switched into other clothes, and then we visited Elton and talked about Missionary Work and challenged him to share the message of the Restoration to people. Which he liked a lot, and we know he will help out a lot. Then we visited the Andersens, and had really good conversations with them and actually going to start teaching them which is a really big step. We are very excited for that. Then we tried a few other people and then came home and planned for the new week and send out reports.
Sunday was pretty good also! I got to confirm Mike, which was pretty good. I know I need to work on focusing on relying on the Spirit for what to say. Then after church we came home, ate food, and then did some Baptismal Forms for a while. And then after we had dinner at the Millers and Mocky and Mickey joined us. We had Tacos, it was good. Then after we talked about our message with the daughter, and we are going to start teach her as well! It's very exciting! Then after we shared a message with the Rogers. It's very exciting to see the Part-Member families slowly start to work out!
This week was just more miracles and blessings. And I hope y'all have a fabulous New Year and I hope 2019 treats you all well. I love y'all!
