Monday was a normal day, did emails, shopped, and such. Then after we went and did service for Martha as usual, and it was super good. We cleaned up more and did burn piles and it was a lot of fun. And when we were finishing up she gave us water containers and some cookies, let's just say she's pretty awesome. And a cool little thing happened, while we were leaving, one of the AP's called and wanted to get to know me a little more. I don't know why I wanted to mention it, but it just brightened my night honestly. So that was pretty cool.
Tuesday was filled with service. President Stephens picked us up and we helped a member move some things to his new house. Then he took us to his house and we ate there before he took us back to our apartment. Then we loaded back into our car and we drove to a sister to someone we previously did service for and we painted a couple of rooms for them. It was super awesome doing that for them. Then we had dinner with the Byrers and that was pretty good. After we changed and did Bible Study at Angie's and ended the day after that.
Wednesday we did the usual studies and whatnot. And then President Stephens picked us up again and we did some service for this one lady who was moving to another apartment in the same complex and that went really well. She was grateful for the help moving the big items over. Then after he took us home and we ordered pizza, got items for cookies, and we made cookies. Then we took some cookies to the Gospel Essentials Class and we had that class, and it was really good. We talked about the importance of having Free Agency, and the 2 definitions I like about Agency is "The state of being in action or exerting power." and "How a result is obtained or an end is achieved." And that puts on a whole new meaning to Agency, so, the real question is now... How are you going to use your agency? (During that night I got a hair cut by Elder Hunter)
Thursday was pretty rainy at some points, but we got things done. We first went to Martha's and we started working on her shed. We also burned more things in the process but it was mainly the shed we were working on. During that, we found shedded snake skin in there, so that was dandy hahaha. And after we talk with her for a little bit and gave her cookies also, and she liked that a lot. We left and did a few things before going to Milan and helping that lady move some final things to her new apartment. And after that we changed into our pros gear and went to a formers house and found 2 new people out of that. It was a good, but rather interesting, conversation, but nonetheless good. Then we came home.
Friday was pretty good as well. We did a little studies then we drove to Brownsville for exchanges with Millington. We ate at McDonald's and then we started exchanges. I went to Millington with Elder Lee and we had some pretty good success. We did Companionship Study first then we started visiting people. We had some small miracles as we visited people and talked with people, it was awesome! Then we had a Bible Study at a members house and we had a miracle there too with the Father actually sitting in the lesson! Then we had dinner with the Christensens (who take a lot of photos of missionaries for their moms, and my mom, she loves it XD) and that was good. Then Elder Lee had a Leadership Call and we went home.
Saturday we drove back to Humboldt and we had Laurie and Sam's Baptism! It was an amazing experience to see them finally get baptized! They were supposed to be baptized on Easter Sunday, the Sunday before I showed up, but that didn't happen because of surgeries and Sam having a hole in his foot. After the baptism we came home and did a few things before Brother Gibson picked us up to have JT be interviewed by President Zobell in Dyersburg. Sadly we are going to have to wait until September 28th, 2019 till JT will be baptized DX. But it's fine, we got it, it's FINE XD. Then we came home and ended the day. It was also my youngest Sisters Birthday so she was excited during her email telling me how she was happy that I baptized on her Birthday.
Sunday we confirmed Sam and Laurie members of the Church and gave them the Holy Ghost and it was a sweet experience. Then after Church we did some Weekly Planning, had dinner at the Lamprechts, watched part of Meet the (Mormons) Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Then we drove to the Church and had Call Ins with the Zone Leaders and came home.
This week was a lot of blessings and Miracles and it was awesome. I'm thankful for prayers and how much God hears them and fulfills them (in his time of course). But I hope you all have an amazing week.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
