Monday was obviously not P-Day, but it was actually pretty good! We had District Council and we talked about getting people to Church and whatnot. Afterwards we visited a person and we loaded our gear in Dyersburg car and we went up to Dyersburg for the day. We went to their apartment and switched over to service gear and we did service for this guy who is apparently a pastor. It was really cool and he asked a couple of questions about the Church and all and it was just nice to have a good Gospel based discussion with him. Afterwards we went to the other place to do service but it didn't work out because of technical difficulties(it was honestly a struggle). Afterwards we got Subway and went back to the apartment and did studies and played Clue till we had to go to bed.
Tuesday was our Mission P-Day and that was a lot of fun. We got a ride with them all the way to Arlington and we played a lot of games. From Crochet, to Kickball, to Volleyball, to walking on wood stuff(I forget the name). I also emailed like y'all know. We also watched a movie called Legacy, it talked about the Pioneers and such. Afterwards we drove back to Dyersburg where a member picked us up and we went back to Humboldt and we had Bible Study at the Lamprechts.
Wednesday was pretty good actually. We had studies and after we went to Wal-Mart to get new tires on the car. Afterwards we went to the Church and went with our Elders Quorum President and he took us all the way to the top right corner of our area called Tresvant. There we had a discussion with a less active and helped him with a few things. Afterwards we went to this Chow place in Milan and ate there which was pretty good. Then he took us back to the Church where we prepared for a Church Tour for a family we are working with. And I had my first Church Tour! It was pretty good, and they loved it a lot, and we had a member there too so it helped out a lot. Afterwards we had a Gospel Essentials Class using the Gospel Principles Book and we had a super good turnout! And a lot of people enjoyed it! Then when it was over, I was talking to Sam and he said he wanted to get baptized on the 8th! So he's on date now!! And I also got to call my Dad because it was his Birthday, and that was a good conversation with him.
Thursday we did a lot of service. We went to this town called Three Way and we helped this lady get a crap ton of big rocks out of her flowerbeds and move them to the gutters. That was pretty good, besides the fact that it was during the hottest part of the day. Afterwards we had some time so we did some contacting and then we drove to Medina and some service there. We cleaned out a little shed and picked up Limbs from a tree. And during it I scratched myself, and the first thing I thought was 'man, I keep getting these battle scars, I'm gonna look like I got beat up' XD. But after we went home, showered, then had dinner a members house and burned things as well. So that was fun.
Friday was service filled also. We went with a member and helped him out a little bit, and he took us out to eat. Afterwards we did some Weekly Planning and then we drove up to a town called Gibson and helped out a lady with her dad's old barn and cleaned up a lot of the stuff. They had a lot of land and it was super cool. And after she wanted to at least give us something, so she asked if we liked fishing. Then she takes us to a small building, and she opens it up and it FILLED with Fishing Poles. So we took a fishing pole each and we plan to keep it here for any missionary who is in Trenton. So that was cool. Then we were supposed to have more service in Milan but it fell through, so we visited a couple of people and had a lesson in Service clothes with someone we are working with and that was really good. Then we had dinner, and walked around Humboldt a little and then came home.
Saturday we did service for a member and we got to know them a little more. And that was pretty cool. Afterwards we came home, changed, and went up to Milan and had a lesson with a grandfamily we are working with. We answered a lot of the questions they had and it was awesome. Afterwards we helped out a member move bedding to the upstairs, and then they fed us and took us to Bartlett for Stake Conference. And that was really good. And we got ice cream and such after, then came driving home. We didn't get home till like 11:15pm and didn't go to bed till like 11:30... It was bad. Basically about a 2 hour drive back home total.
Sunday we had 3 people at Church that we are working with! It was really good, we watched Stake Conference and I enjoyed the speakers quite a bit. Afterwards we were talking with Laurie and she said she is healed up to the point where we could tape her and baptize her! So she is now on date as well for June 8th! It's really exciting! After that we had lunch, Elder Hunter did some calls, and then we drove back up to Milan and walked around. No one was home except Mary (the grandfamily who we are working with) and we had an awesome discussion with her. She is going to try to get her other family members involved in the discussions as well! I was super happy about that! And also, during the walk that day, someone said the full name of the Church correctly! Like, the first time ever! It was the little miracles that day that made it really good. Then we had dinner with members, did a Bible Study, and then had Call Ins with the Zone Leaders and ended the day there.
I hope you all have an amazing week! It's crazy to hear that school is almost over! And that means I'm almost at my year mark! It's even weird for me to even type that out. Haha, but I'm thankful for each of you, and know that I pray for you each daily.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
