Monday we had Zone P-Day and we got a ride up to Hot Springs and we watched some Horse Races! It was really cool to watch all of that. I also called home for a little bit, it's crazy to see that change happen in the church, it's going to do a lot. I also got a hat from it, so yay for that. Then after we came back and for the first time on my mission I rode my bike. It was kinda nice to be on it after a long while. We didn't have any success with talking to people but it was still a good effort.
Tuesday went by mega fast. We visited some members after studies, and that was pretty good. Then we had a lesson with Randy, and it was pretty awesome. He loves all the stuff we talk to him about, and he wants us to come by Tuesdays and Fridays. Then when we came out of that lesson and we looked at the time and it was only like 3:00, and we felt like it was only 2:00. Then we went some finding and then we got dinner and came home. We also made a Facebook post for free Bibles.
Wednesday we had Zone Conference, and a lot of people wanting Bibles. We were excited about that. But Zone Conference was really good, we learned a lot about Revelation and about how we can improve the mission as a whole. I also got a box from home, and the photo will show you what was in it, or at least one of the items. XD Then we had the Book of Mormon study class and did some more Facebook stuff.
Thursday was rainy, but we walked around, with umbrellas of course. But we were able to talk to a few people, not anyone new exactly, but potentials. Then a member dropped off gift cards for dinner at the Sisters apartment so we picked those up and got them the food they wanted (They were sick) so that was fun to do. Then we had Ward Correlation and then came home. So it was a little slow of a day, but overall good.
Friday we had a few things planned, but then it all went to another direction, for the good of course. We had a lesson with a guy who was very thankful he stopped by. And it helped him out a lot and he's very excited to learn. Same with the next appointment, it also helped him out a lot and it really gave him a better light on things. Then after we went to the Andersons and talked to a few people there, then we had dinner at some members. And that was just about all of Friday really.
Saturday was pretty good, kinda slow as well. At first it was crazy rainy, it looked really bad at first, but after a while it died down. We met a couple of new people and had some good lessons and talking with people. By the end of the day it was pretty sunny and then we came home and did some Weekly Planning and some contacting for church. Then we had Call-Ins and went to bed.
Sunday sadly no one came to church, but it was still pretty good. After church we had lunch and planned a little. Then we went out and talked to a few people. Then we had a lesson with a member and talked about what happened at church, and then had another lesson after with one of the people we are working with. Then we went up to another part of Pine Bluff and walked around there. We found some pretty cool people, and turns out the Sisters were in the same area as we were, so we thought that was pretty funny to hear, and it wasn't even planned. Then we talked to this really funny group of more middle aged guys, it was really weird but we left laughing, but we still managed to teach them stuff. Then we came back home and ate and studied.
This week has been pretty good overall, and of course it has it's ups and downs. But it was never supposed to be easy, only supposed to be worth it. Just know that I love you all so much, and please never forget that. Have a good week.
