Monday after emails and such we went to the Andersons and we were able to teach Fransisco the Plan of Salvation and talk to Brother Anderson. It was really good. Progress is definitely happening and I like it a lot. After that we came home and had dinner. So besides them nothing much really happened, but it was effective.
Tuesday was a roller coaster really. We first had a few appointments that fell through and we were really bummed about it, then we knocked on a door and we had a cool experience with that and the guy wanted us back. Then we kept going down in the direction of someone and we talked to a few cool people, and things started to look up. Then we came across one lady who called us over, and we started talking with her. Turns out, she met with missionaries like 20-30 years ago and she recently had a death in her family. We chatted with her for a while and it was just a tender experience. We ended up talking a little about the Gospel(her husband's brother is actually a member) and gave her a Plan of Salvation Pamphlet. So that was really cool. We're definitely keeping in touch with her. Then we stopped by Theresa and chatted with her for a little, then Sister Turley picked her up for Come, Follow Me and she loved the class. It was a really good experience for her. Then we came home and had dinner. Overall it was a super good day.
Wednesday we stayed North most of the day. We did a lot of Contact Attempts for members and formers. And it was really effective. We found 2 new people, had some really good conversation with a active member a few less actives throughout the day. It was really cool to see the effect missionaries can make on people. Then we gave a less active a blessing and set up a time to come by again. Then we went to the Church and had Book of Mormon Study Class. Theresa came as well! It was awesome and a lot of cool things happened. It was tender. Then we came home and had dinner.
Thursday was a little interesting. We weren't able to do any door knocking or visiting because of everything that happened. We had District Council and then we went to a cool Chinese place called Chef Lee's, and that was really good. Then we did some Ward Correlation Preparation and went to Trinity Village where we called Bingo again, and that was really fun. They also pulled in a trained dog and it did some tricks, so that was a good boy. Then we came back, did some studies, took a little nap because we were just dead, did some Online Proselyting, and had Ward Correlation. We came back home after and kinda just crashed.
Friday was a little slow. We had Weekly Planning, then a few lessons fell through, and it was a little sad. Then we taught Theresa the Restoration and talked about plants, and we plan on helping her with her plants. Then we had dinner at a members house. After we came back and finished Weekly Planning. And then we had a Zoom Call and talked about Faith, and that was really fun.
Saturday was a little bumpy, but nonetheless good. We had a couple of lessons fall through, but we talked to a lot of people, and found 2 other new people. And while we were walking, it started to rain, luckily we had our umbrellas with us and managed to get back to the car. And before that we were able to talk to a husband of someone we met a few weeks ago, and he was surprised to hear that we don't pay to do service. So we may do service with him hopefully haha. Then after we got a card for a member who was sick and dropped it off there and gave her a blessing with her Husband. Then we went to the Andersons and talked with them for a while. Then we came back home and had crock pot dinner. It was good.
Sunday was pretty good as well. Theresa came again and loved it. I'm excited for her to be baptized. It's going to be awesome. We were able to show her the font and all that, she's set on wanting to be baptized. Then after we had a lesson with the Mays, and after we contacted a few people. By doing so we also found a new person with that, so yay for that. After we went to the Andersons, spoke with Brother Anderson about a few things, then we came back home and did studies and had dinner.
This week was pretty good, slightly different than other weeks but other than that it was good. But on other terms, GENERAL CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEK!! I want to invite each of you to watch Conference and have a question in mind that you have. I promise that if you do so it'll be answered by one of the speakers. This is a glorious time to come together to listen to the Prophets and Apostles speak to all of us. It's on BYU-TV, Channel 5 (In Utah), and on lds.org(ChurchofJesusChrist.org). 11-1 and 3-5 (10-12 and 2-4 Utah Time) both Saturday and Sunday. I hope each of you will watch Conference, because I promise as well that it'll give you strength and energy to continue on with work and school. I am really excited for this and I hope you are as well.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
