Monday we had District P-Day. Stuttgart drove down to our apartment and we drove all the way down to Monticello. We ate lunch at this really good place. Then we went to the church and played Apples to Apples and did emails. Then we went bowling. I'm not the greatest, but I'm decent. After we had a Blitz in Monticello and we found 3 people in 10 minutes. So that was awesome. After we had District Council and learned about following the spirit more. Then we took a District Council photo and came back home.
Tuesday we biked around a lot in an area. We met a couple of cool people, helped out Randy's son with staining a stand thing and painting it. And we taught him a little about the Book of Mormon. Then after we biked over to check on Tim and we talked with him and his boss for a little. It was pretty cool. After there was a few things that happened but the Come, Follow Me Study class was cancelled but we went to a party for a mentally disabled member and he really appreciated us coming and celebrating with him. He's awesome. Then we came back and tried to figure out a few things.
Wednesday was pretty slow for most of the day. We had a lot of dropped contact attempts we had in schedule, but nearly none of them answered. After a while of biking and talking to people we tried a few other areas and we talked to one lady, who was kinda interested, then we talked to a guy who the past Elders dropped before we came in. He's super cool and was willing to have us back more often. Then we went to the Church and had Book of Mormon Study Class and ended the day there.
Thursday was kinda like Wednesday as well. A lot of things weren't really working out. We talked to a few people, and maybe one or two potentials. We were supposed to also have a lesson, but that fell through, and the Senior Couple in our Ward was with us as well. Since it fell through, they took us to Chili's and had dinner there. They are really awesome. Then they took us back and we had Ward Coorelation Meeting. And after we came back and ended the day.
Friday we did some morning weekly planning and got some stuff ready for the new week. Then we had a lesson with Melvin (that guy the past Elders dropped) and we got to know him a little bit and found out what he remembers. We plan on going back next week to help him progress. Then we had a lesson with Randy and he loves meeting with us, it's awesome. He is progressing well, we just need to help him come to Church more. Then after another lesson fell through and we decided to go the Andersons and we talked with them for a while. Then we came back home, where I packed up for exchanges and then we drove up to Altheimer(All-timer) where we exchanged and didn't realize we didn't have the area phone till we got back to the Apartment, so that was just great.
Saturday was very interesting. During the morning our Weather Radio was exploding with warnings of storms and a Tornado watch. Then a calm, then the storm. So most of the morning and during lunch was just a huge storm that plowed through. Then it calmed down a lot and then we went out and did some contacting. We talked to one lady who has read some anti and whatnot, and probably studied with either the F-LDS or the R-LDS(Community of Christ) and we had a nice conversation, but she didn't want to believe it, it was sad but, it's what happened. We had a couple of lessons and by 5:00 it was really sunny like no storm existed. Then we had dinner at Taco Bell and then did some contacting. We came back and got transfer news, and Elder Rich is getting moved. So that was sad.
Sunday was pretty good. Theresa came to church again and she just loves coming. It gets her excited. It's awesome, and after we did some planning. We tried doing some contacting, but everything fell through, then we felt like we had to go to the Andersons and we found out they were mega close to coming to church, then something happened. So we are excited about that. We plan on doing a study class with them soon so we are happy with that. After we came back, did studied, did Weekly Planning, made Dragon Noodles and I was really excited about that. And then we crashed for the night.
I do want to bring up a topic. Anti-Literature. Satans greatest tools is this stuff, and it's attacking people left and right. The problem is, not a lot of other religions have this problem. I don't see it in Baptists, nor Protestants. Why are we the ones with Anti, one answer, the church is true. It saddens me to talk to some people(and know some people) and they say stuff about the church which they read online. Anti stuff about the church is one the most stupidest thing on earth, but yet it draws people away from the Gospel. If you really want to know stuff about the church, you go to the RIGHT websites and to your bishop, Stake president, or Missionaries. You do not look up other websites except ChurchofJesusChrist.org and ComeUntoChrist.org and THAT'S IT. And if anyone has ran into any literature against the church and is contemplating it, get the literature out of your site, and if you fell away, please, come back, and we(as a church) can help you clarify things. We need you. We love you. I love you.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here.
Elder Braxton Hotton
