Monday we went out and did shopping and as well we got our haircuts, which was well needed. We also finished up any other P-Day thing we needed to do. Then we left and visited Betsy and the family and talked with them for a while, and it was pretty good. Betsy had us try her soup, and that was pretty good as well, kinda reminded me of Spaghetti-O's because of the flavor. But yea! Then we came back and ended the day.
Tuesday I conducted my first District Council! It was a little nerve racking but it went pretty well, I hope haha. But that was good. Then afterwards Brother Doss took us to Cookout and we got food, and then he took us back to West Point. We biked around town and had a few lessons fall through sadly, so we tried visiting a few others and nothing came out of it sadly. Then we had dinner with the Booker Family and we were there for a while as we talked about a lot of things. We talked to them about the Gospel and about the Book of Mormon and they really enjoyed it a lot. It was an awesome discussion with them! Then we came back and ended the day.
Wednesday we did studies and did some contacting. Afterwards we left and went to do lessons. The first lesson fell through and when we were leaving Elder Judd had a flat tire that we had to fix, we were afraid we weren't going to be able to, but thankfully we did. Then we were biking to the next appointment and not even got too far when I was switching gears my bike chain derailed and a few of my things got bent. And I was afraid we were going to have to get it fixed at a Bike Shop, but thankfully a miracle happened. As I was assessing a XFinity Truck pulled over and out came a non-member husband of a member in the Tupelo Ward we've came across before and is like super cool and he started helping us out. He was able to assess it and was able to fix it thankfully! But yea, we ended up missing a lesson because of it. And overall we were dealing with Elder Judd's bike and my bike for 2 hours straight. So that was a lot of fun. Then we had another lesson fall through sadly but we visited someone that has met with missionaries before and he is super cool, then we had a lesson with Omar and Charlie and talked about our life on earth and trials. They enjoyed it a lot and they want to come to Church this coming week! And then after that we went back to our apartment where the Honsingers picked us up and we went and visited Neely and Betsy with them and had a long good conversation about a lot of things in life! It was awesome. And that pretty much sums up that day.
Thursday we did normal studies and all that. We also prepared a few things we promised Betsy we helped her with. We also helped Starkville with some questions they had a referral want them to answer. And then we went over to the Youngs and had a really good Lunch with them and talked with them about a lot of things! They are awesome people! Very open to learning more and more! And then afterwards we had a lesson fall through so we did some contacting and some reporting. Then we went and tried to see a few people and found a person out of it which was awesome. Then we had a lesson with Miehsa and it ended up just having to reschedule but we were able to talk to some of her guy friends that are there on occasion and they're pretty cool. And then after we decided to go to Neely and Betsys and we chatted with them for a while and talked about things. And that went pretty ok. Then we came back home for the day.
Friday we went up to the Food Pantry and did service up there. Then afterwards we came back and finished the rest of our studies. Then we went and visited someone that we are working with and basically talked about the importance of being self reliant because he's been on a spree about it and it's pretty cool haha. Then afterwards we biked up to our apartment and Brother Doss picked us up and took us to Okolona for a few appointments we had scheduled. We had a really good discussion with our first lesson and we talked about the Book of Mormon and about the Plan of Salvation and that went really well. She is excited to re-learn some of the stuff and check it out! Afterwards we had another lesson where we answered some questions about some Doctrine stuff and we challenged her to Read the Book of Mormon and she said she will so we hope that helps her with it. Then afterwards we went to our next appointment and kinda went through. We talked outside due to some house problems and we prayed with her and rescheduled. Then we came back home and did Weekly Planning and watched the new Book of Mormon Video that came out that night.
Saturday we did our studies and got things ready for the day. We got picked up by Brother Doss and we went up to Aberdeen and did a lot of contact attempts and had a few lessons. We found a couple of people which was awesome! We were able to setup a lot of return appointments that were setup for next Saturday so we are really excited about that. Then we came back home and finished off the day with other stuff we needed to do and did Call Ins with Starkville.
Sunday we sadly had no one at Church. But we had a lot of changes in our Branch Presidency and in our Elders Quorum Presidency. So that was something. Then afterwards we had our potluck and that was really good as usual. Then we got home and we had a few lessons that fell through. But we had some lessons that went through and we talked about the Book of Mormon and helped her understand what it is. Then afterwards we had a few other things that fell through but overall it was a pretty good day. One of the things that happened is that someone texted us that we've been trying to get a hold of and had a super amazing discussion with him about a lot of things and answered a lot of the questions he had and we are meeting with him either Wednesday or Thursday. So miracles still happen in all forms!! Then we came back and did Call Ins with the Zone Leaders.
This week overall was super good. We have continue to seen miracles in many different forms and it's truly a blessing. I encourage everyone to see life on a different view. I love you all and have a great week!!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
