Monday was just a normal P-Day, but we didn't do a lot, just chilled for most of it. I also slightly stressed about me singing on Sunday but that passed. Then after we helped at Marthas as usual and made more progress in the shed. And then we drove to Friendship and started exchanges with Dyersburg and I went to Dyersburg with Elder Ramage.
Tuesday we did some good old studies and then we went to Salvation Army for service. During that a member of the Church from somewhere else came in and she talked to us for a little and Dyersburg got some service out of that so that was cool. Afterwards we went out and visited a couple of people and a recent convert couple. Then we were able to teach someone the Restoration and he liked it a lot. Afterwards we switched into service clothes and helped out a less active move, and it was honestly one of the fastest moves I was ever apart of, and it was kinda nice really. Then a member got us some KFC and then we came home.
Wednesday we did a little study then we drove to Humboldt and got ready for District Council. President Hansen came to our District Council and it was really cool, because we learned a lot through our people we are trying to figure out how to help through him and practicing it. Then we had Interviews with him and that was nice being with him again. Then we came home and Elder Hunter felt kinda broken physically so he took a nap and I called Gary and talked to that little girl for a while. It was nice hearing from him, and then we got ready for Gospel Essentials. Someone that Elders Hunter and Ferrell found came to the class and enjoyed it a lot. And then we came home and ended the day.
Thursday had some cool service opportunities and a miracle. We first went to Sam and Laurie's and helped them move things around. And they fed us too, so that was pretty nice. Then after we went to Martha's and continued to work on the shed. After we came home and started biking around. We had a lesson with someone and that was pretty good. And then we ran into a good friend of the missionaries named Donny and we chatted with him for a little bit. Then we biked back and talked to someone on the phone for a while (the lady the Elders found during exchanges) and she's awesome. Then we parked somewhere and walked around a little more, and here is where the miracle comes in. We only knock on one door, and the door we knock is 2 sisters who had talked with missionaries in the past and loved it and wanted us to come back and to answer questions for them! It was really cool. Then we went back to the car, gave a blessing to a member, and had dinner at the Fishers and ranted about preachers getting money and how stupid it is.
Friday we did some studies and some good old weekly planning, then we went out to visit a few people. During that we stopped at the Church to do a few things and we helped prepare for the Hog fest and also we cleaned up the baptismal font for Dyersburg. We decided then to drive up to Milan and walk around. We went to Labronski's house and we had a super good lesson with him and it was awesome. We showed him the Ask of God video and he was just blown away by it. He is very excited to learn more. Then after we said Hi to Samantha and then we booked it back to Humboldt and had dinner with a member. Then after we went to the Church and helped a little more preparing for the hog fest. Then we booked it home before we got drenched by the storm that came through.
Saturday was really fun. We had the HAWG FEST and a lot of people attended. We played some Bocce Ball and me and Elder Hunter was the judges for the Pie Contest and it was a lot of fun doing that. And that was basically the morning and part of the afternoon. Then we helped Dyersburg prepare for their baptism they were having at the Church and we watched the Baptism as well and that was really cool. The kid was sweet and loved the Church, and his mom got baptized the weekend before as well. Then we came home and did some studies and finished up some Weekly Planning.
Sunday we sadly only had 1 person at Church, but it was still pretty good. After Church we came home and ate a little bit and visited people. We visited Labronski again because he wasn't at Church and had a good discussion with him again. He's really prepared. Then we came back home and got picked up by Brother Powell and we gave blessings to 2 people and got drenched in the rain. Then we came back and drove back up to Milan and visited a less active with Brother Johnson, and then we came home and did call ins.
I hope you all have a good week, and that you are enjoying life. Don't let life control you, you control your life.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
