Monday we had Lunch with the Shields and got P-Day stuff taken care of. After P-Day we visited someone that we are working with and talked about his stuff that's going on with him and the struggles of life. We hope we can get him to come to Church soon. But other than that nothing else happened.
Tuesday we had a pretty cool day actually! We did our studies as usual and had plans to really be all over town, so that was something for sure haha. We went out and tried visiting a few people, and some of them worked out and others didn't answer. We had a lesson which was pretty good, and answered some of his questions about life. Then afterwards we went north of town and tried visiting some people who were previously taught and we were able to find 1 person out there which was pretty cool. Then we biked all the way almost south of town and visited someone and they became a new person. And then as we were biking to try to stop by someone a thought came to me about someone else to stop by and I was just like oh duh, we can do that as well. And Elder Judd agreed so the person we first wanted to try didn't work so we went to the person that came to mind and we had a super cool talk with her husband! He is a talker for sure but we loved it! He's a super cool dude and him and his wife both met with missionaries before and they loved it a lot! And we hear he's a mega good cook as well! So we're excited to work with them! And then we ended the day and came back into the Apartment.
Wednesday was a pretty good day also! We had a lot of things planned for the day and we were pretty excited for that. But sadly some of them fell through but we were able to find a person during that so that was pretty good. Then we had a good lesson with Alice and we read the Book of Mormon with her and helped her understand what it was and why it's important. Afterwards we reported on the things that happened that day and we tried visiting one of the guys missionaries have been working with for a while and we were able to catch him and have a really good discussion with him about a lot of things in life. He's super cool. Afterwards we met with Neely on one of the streets and she was telling us what we need to do for the dogs she wanted us to take care of while she was gone for the weekend and we did that. Then we ended the day there.
Thursday was full of miracles, it was literally super cool! We did studies and got picked up by Brother Doss and he took us up to Okolona where we started exchanges with the Zone Leaders. And I stayed here in West Point with Elder Reardon. And we went to Aberdeen and tried visiting a few people and we had a few cool experiences. We were able to find 2 new people up in Aberdeen and talk to those people about experiences in the Bibles and about the Gospel. Then we got dropped off back at West Point and we went out again to go visit other people. We had a lesson fall through so we took care of the dogs and that was something else. And then after we biked up to have a lesson but sadly that fell through. We contacted for a little bit and then tried stopping by a members house but they weren't there. And then we walked to a person of interest and we started talking to him and his neighbor about the Plan of Salvation and why things happen and we gave them pamphlets and we set up a return appointment and we were super happy about that. Then literally we walked down the street and Elder Reardon asked a guy about the Post Office(me knowing it's right behind our house) and then we started talking to him about who we are and he became a new person and we both walked away just shocked out of our minds knowing that we just found 5 new people on the spot. So we were pretty excited about that. Then after we visited someone and talked about Church and talked about his struggles again. Then we came back and ended the day.
Friday we did studies went to do the Food Pantry, sadly we didn't have any boxes. Then we came back and finished studies and then they came down and we ended exchanges. Then we got stuff ready for dogs and went out. We took care of the dogs and we came back and did some Weekly Planning. Then we got picked up and visited Okolona and we tried seeing a few people. We found one person and updated the notes for some people in the area. We sadly had a lesson fall through but we were able to talk to her a little bit. Then we came back and finished Weekly Planning and ended the day.
Saturday we had an early lesson that fell through, then we did studies and got ready for the rest of the day. Then we had another lesson fall through so we baked sweets for those we said we would for. Then after we were leaving to take care of the dogs and someone stopped us and we started talking to him and he met with missionaries about 2 years ago and he enjoyed it a lot so we got his number and set up a time to go by, and we were happy about that! We then took care of the dogs and visited Betsy and had a good visit there. Then we came back and dropped off stuff and had a lesson with someone and talked about the Plan of Salvation and gave him a Book of Mormon. After that we had 2 other lessons, one of them fell through and then we came back and I did Call Ins with the Starkville Sisters.
Sunday we had Church and didn't have anyone show sadly. Then after Church we studied a little and went out and took care of the dogs, and got rained on. Then we came back and the rain didn't get any better so we did some Contacting, cleaned up Area Book a little, and cooked Enchiladas. After that we had Call Ins with the Zone Leaders and that was about it.
This week has been mega amazing! And I'm thankful for the experiences I'm having! I hope y'all continue to see Miracles in your own lives and hope you know that I love each and everyone of you. Stay Hot y'all 😉!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
