Monday we had Zone P-Day at Bartlett and that was a lot of fun. We played a lot of games and just got to know the Zone better. Then we took Dyersburg back up to Trenton and they stayed with us overnight here. It also POURED that night too. It was insane.
Tuesday we had District Council here in Trenton and the Zone Leaders came up from West Memphis, Arkansas to attend. And then afterwards we started exchanges and I was with Elder Lee and we drove all the way down the West Memphis, crossing the bridge. I didn't think I was crossing that bridge anytime soon but I was wrong XD. But anyways, we get down there. Do studies, and all of our appointments fall through sadly. So we tried doing some contacting and visiting a few people, and got like 2ish new people out of it so that was cool. And that was pretty much that day.
Wednesday we went to Bartlett and ended exchanges. The Zone Leaders and Elder Fealy had a Leadership Meeting to go to so I was with Elder Ashworth who is serving in Bartlett with me for most of the day. We were able to take the missionary van with us around so that we can go to appointments and such. Sadly, all of them fell through, but we were able to talk to a few people and clean up the car for the APs. So that was nice. Then we went to the Church and I had Interviews with President Hansen, and that was nice. Then we got a ride from a member, got Steak and Shake, and came back home. Had to Cancel Gospel Essentials due to everything running behind, so we pushed it to Friday.
Thursday we did our studies and went to a lesson which didn't happen. Then we switched clothes and did service at Marthas. We were able to get a lot of other things done as well. So that was cool. Afterwards we came back home, changed over, and tried visiting a few people. Then we had dinner at the Fishers and had a good time there. Then we came home and ended the day.
Friday was the.. Interesting day to say the least. We did our studies and then we switched into service clothes and went up to Milan and helped someone move from one apartment to another. And that was pretty good. They were really appreative about it. Then we came back home and tried visiting people as well. Then we went to Wall Street Grill and had dinner with some members. Afterwards we had a meeting with our Branch Missionary Leader and that was good. Then no one showed up to class which was sad. So then.. Now the story. So later on that night, we were driving back to our apartment, but then we saw a bunch of cars at this school court not far from our apartment, so we decided to check it out and try to find people out of it. So not thinking(now I realize how stupid this is, but it was in the moment, plz don't get mad at me Lol), I put all of my stuff down, wallet, phone, ring, watch, stuff like that, down where you put your feet on a bleacher. And after a while and not being able to ball with them. We decide to leave, we started collecting our stuff.... And my wallet and my white handbook with my Ministering Certificate is gone. And I can't find it anywhere. So it basically got stolen. So yea, I was pretty upset about that. Had to make many calls just to figure things out, get cards cancelled, yea. It was a interesting night.
Saturday we looked around just in case it got dropped. And we did studies. We went to the police and did a report, which was the stuff I was pretty sure I was going to here. But then we talked about what we have planned for the day and we mentioned potentially moving someone, and he offered us to help him move! So potential right there! It's awesome. Afterwards we went out and visited a few people and a few lessons fell through in the process. Then we did some Weekly Planning. Then we went to Regal Inn and our good friend Rene took us to Jackson and we had dinner with him. He's pretty cool haha, he loves the missionaries. Then we came home and ended the day.
Sunday was Fast Sunday but it was a slow Sunday. We had 2 people at Church which was pretty ok. Also during Church we gave school blessings to 2 kids that moved in not to long ago, which was pretty cool. Then after Church we visited a few people, did some studies, then we went up to Medina and had dinner at the Jorgensens and then did a Bible Study at the Johnsons in Milan and that was cool. After that we drove to the Church and had Call-Ins with Dyersburg and just finished the day off from there.
This week was pretty interesting. But as much as I am bummed about losing my wallet and such, I know that things will work out and other opportunities will arise for the future. God has his ways, and I'm interested in seeing how this one works out!
Also, a quote from Elder Fealy to me while we were helping someone move, "You're thicker than a snicker"...😂 Have a good week everyone!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
