Monday after P-Day stuffs we dropped off cookies at one of our Ministering Families and we talked with them for a good while. It was awesome. After that we went home and ended the day.
Tuesday we drove up to Dyersburg for District Council and we talked about Finding and all that good stuff. After that we went to a place called Grecian Steakhouse and we had lunch there. Afterwards I went with Elder Walker and started exchanges and we drove all the way to Milan to have a few appointments. We had a pretty good lesson with someone we started teaching, and we had some members over and the lesson went over quite a bit but we think it went pretty well overall. Afterwards we had another discussion with a couple we are teaching as well so that's cool. Then we had Companionship Study and after we had Bible Study at the Lamprechts and that was pretty good. Though by this time I was just drained so that was fun. Then we got some food and ended the day. And also we had a super crazy storm that night as well. Thanks Utah for sharing.
Wednesday was a little whack, but it was good. For part of the day we went up to Milan and made some contact with a few people, and that was good. It's sometimes really difficult to get in contact with people so it helps out a lot when you actually see them. Then we came back to Humboldt and walked around for a little. Then we visited Jennifer and her family and had a good lesson with them. Then we went to the Library and did a little study and some Facebook posting. Afterwards we went to a members home with our Branch President and we helped take a few things out of their house. Afterwards we visited someone else and then got a call by another member to help out with moving a rug so we did that. After that we had dinner at a members house and then had Gospel Essentials Class about the Atonement, which was a pretty amazing lesson. The Atonement can help heal your struggles whatever they may be. Just rely on Jesus Christ and be humble enough to let him work through you to become what Heavenly Father wants you to be.
Thursday we finished exchanges and exchanged back in Friendship, and got some quality out of that. Then we drove back, got ready, and went and did some service at Marthas. After we came back home, we changed, and went out and tried to talk to people for a little bit. After that, we went to the Fishers and had dinner with them, and that is always good. Then we came home and ended the day there.
Friday we were on our bikes for most of the day(reason I say most will be explained later). We did our studies and did some good Weekly Planning. Afterwards, we jumped on our bikes and biked around for a long while. We visited a lot of houses, talked to a good bit of people. Had a good discussion with Cynthia. Got in contact with a few people. It was all good. Until... Before dinner. We biked to an abandoned place or something and we were reporting. We were looking at my gear shifters and while Elder Fealy was testing them out, it blew up. Literally it blew up. It was kinda funny actually, but it sucked. But it was doomed to happen, it's only like 3 years old XD. Luckily we weren't too far from dinner, so we walked the stuff to Taco Bell. We had dinner there with a family and then we walked home with out stuff. It was rough, and I had to patch one of my tires because I tried going up a curb and I hit the tire on it so yea, but I got that fixed. And that was the majority of the day.
Saturday was another interesting day. We took the bike down to Jackson to a bike shop and the guy said he would let us know when he's done. So we came back and started visiting people... But literally it was all bust and it kicked our spirits in the shins pretty good. And at this time it was only 12PM, so that was just no bueno for us. But thankfully, out of tender mercies, we were able to have a lesson with someone and it was pretty good. And after we were about to start personal Study but then we got a call saying that the Bike is ready to go so we went back down to Jackson and picked it up. Then as we were passing through Three Way we tried visiting a few people and that was pretty successful overall. Then we came back and started contacting others. We had a good discussion with Jennifer and helped clear up concerns. After we came back and had dinner where we cooked some steaks without any idea of what we wanted to do and it turned out really good so that was awesome. Then we visited a few members and then we came home and ended the day there.
Sunday was actually good. We sadly only had 2 people at Church, but those 2 people have some close baptismal potential than we thought so that was awesome, we are excited for that. Afterwards we stuck around and had to talk to a few people and figured out a lot of things that are going on. Then we went home, had lunch, then followed up with people. Afterwards we went up to Milan and tried contacting people there too. After all that we had enough time do do some studies so we parked somewhere and studied for a while. Then we went to the Johnsons and ate dinner and did Bible study and that was fun. Then we came home and did Call Ins with Dyersburg.
So yea, a lot of things happened this week and it kinda hit my spirit a little, but thankfully through the tender mercies of the Lord we were able to see some cool experiences as well through it. I'm thankful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and what it does for me. I know it can help you in many ways as well.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
