Monday after emails and such we went to Theresa's and taught her a few things. And after a little we decided to push off the baptism for a while, due to a lot of things that popped up, we were sad but we know it'll work out. Then we came home and ended the day.
Tuesday was pretty ok. We taught the Plan of Salvation to someone on her porch, we did the same thing with her the week before with the Restoration. A lot of our appointments fell through, which was sad, then we went to the Turleys and had Dinner and had the Come, Follow Me lesson. Then we came back and did some Area Book cleanup. That was about it.
Wednesday was actually pretty good. We went out and the first person we talked to we ended up teaching the Plan of Salvation to them and she really appreciated it. She wants us to come back and teach her more about the Gospel. Then we walked around some more and handed out a Book of Mormon, talked to a lot of cool people. That was a lot of most of the day. Then we had Book of Mormon Study Class and then we came home and had dinner.
Thursday we had Zone Conference and it was one of the best actually. I learned a lot about prayer and a lot of other things that helps out with planning. It was pretty awesome actually. Then we came back home and had Ward Correlation. It was a good day, but that was all that really happened.
Friday we had Weekly Planning and started implementing the new Planning techniques and it seems to make planning a lot easier now, it's awesome! Then we went to Trinity Village and played Bingo again. Then we walked around Theresas, and found a really cool person who wants us to come back. It was awesome! Then we came back home, had dinner, and we did a Zone Zoom Call.
Saturday the weather was CRAZY. We had a huge storm come through, and we went to a funeral for someone we are working with. His dad died and he invited us to come. This is now my 3rd funeral I've been to in my life... And all 3 of them were on my mission XD. Then after the funeral we went and talked to a few people. Then we went to the Andersons and talked with Fransisco for a while. It's been bumpy for him but we've been helping out a lot and it's awesome to see the bond get tighter and helping him out in those things. During that time the power went out a couple of times as we were talking cause of the storm. But it was fine haha. Then we came back home.
Sunday sadly no one we were working with came to church. We were actually doing a Zone Fast that day to help gain the faith to find the elect in our mission. But it's always worth it. As we were out after church, we weren't able to meet with a member, but we were able to meet with someone we met briefly a few weeks ago. I can't remember if I told y'all or not, but he stopped us and told us about his family history. He had family who were members and took the Pioneer trek TWICE. He wanted to feed us and we left our number at his house. We didn't hear from him so we stopped by and it was an awesome visit! Long story short, we he taking us up to Memphis and we are taking a tour of the Memphis Temple with him and he's really excited for it. I am too. I miss it. And after we talked with a few people and talked with Theresa for a while. She actually got a job so she sadly wasn't able to come to church. Then after we came home, then later to be picked up by a member and left to go give a blessing to someone, which was really good. Then we got tickets for Tuesday. Then we came back home.
This week was a lot of things learned, and I'm thankful to be out on my mission. I hope you all have an awesome week.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
