Monday was pretty fun. We were supposed to go fishing with the district, then it got cancelled, then the cancel got cancelled so we went fishing XD. It was a lot of fun being with the district and all that. I didn't catch 8 fish this week, but I still caught around 6. One of them was a Catfish and another one was a big boy. Then after fishing we got taken home, and Dyersburg was staying the night so we went over to Martha's and helped her out some more and she really appreciated it. Then we came home and played Clue.
Tuesday we had District Council and that was good as usual. Then after District Council we had lunch and visited someone we are working with at Taco Bell. Then we had a lesson with 2 guys we found last week and that was interesting. We were there for a good little bit, but then we continued to walk around talked to a few more people, played some basketball with a few kids, one of them sadly broke my watch by accident. Then we had dinner at a buffet place with a member and her son, and he was pretty cool. Then we came back and had Bible Study and ended the day.
Wednesday was kind of a blur to be honest. I know we tried to fix our TiWi because it broke for some odd reason. Then after we tried visiting a few people and we drove up to Milan and tried to talk to people as well, and it was kind of a bust, but we did end up finding a person though so that's good. Then after we came back home, got prepared for Gospel Essentials, and then we had the class and it was pretty decent. Then we came home and ended the day there.
Thursday we did service all day. We went to Martha's and made a lot of progress which was awesome. The shed is starting to look a lot better. Then we talked with her for a little bit and then drove up to Trenton and helped out a member move things around and talked with him for a little bit. Afterwards we went to Brother Fishers house and helped fill in holes with dirt, then they took us out to a pizza place and we ate there. And then after we came home.
Friday Elder Hunter got thrown into helping one of our recent converts fix his transmission and that sadly took most of the day. But it was nice bounding with them more and building that relationship. Then afterwards we did Weekly Planning and had dinner as well. So that was the majority of the day.
Saturday we biked around both Humboldt and Milan. Humboldt we did some contacts and talked to a few people as we were going around. Then we drove up to Milan and biked around there, a lesson fell through and we also contacted people and talked to people as well. We found 2 other people during that so that was good. Then after we played some good old Basketball with a couple of kids (2 of them were the same me and Elder Dawson played a few weeks prior) and we won one and they won one game. I was super drained by the end of it, we both honestly looked like we both just got out of a fight because of it haha. Then we came home and did some call Ins and some Weekly Planning.
Sunday was kinda wack actually. We had a good church service, sadly only one person we are teaching came, but it was still good. Then after church we visited a member and had some lunch, then we went to the Church and called our families. That was a good conversation. Afterwards we get a call saying that Fred and Sam are in the hospital and we were like ah crap. So we help out a member who we said we'd help and we had dinner at a members house and did Bible Study as well. Then we booked it down to Jackson General and gave blessings to them both, we were lucky to able to even get into the ER section, and also another section, but they seem to be doing ok right now. So hopefully things get better.
This week has been a little slow, but nonetheless good. There is one last thing that I do want to bring up. Moroni 7:33 in the Book of Mormon states, "And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.", think about that. If you have a righteous desire or a want to overcome a struggle, with faith in Jesus Christ, you will be able to overcome it and achieve that desire. Just have faith, and try everyday. And don't get upset if you don't see immediate results, they will come as you press forward through your trial. I know that to be true in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
