Monday we had Zone P-Day, which was awesome! We ate food and did a lot of Nerf War Rounds! It was a great bonding time with the Zone! Afterwards we came back home and we finished up a few things then we biked down to go visit someone we haven't seen in a while and had an amazing lesson with him! We talked about a lot of things and gave him a new Book of Mormon and a new Bible with pamphlets as well because they apparently got lost sadly. So we were able to set up a time to go see him again!
Tuesday was a normal day and we went out and visited a few people. We had a lesson with someone and it was a really cool discussion about different churches and all other stuff that is going on! We ended up talking to her about Family History and she got really interested about that so we planned that! Then we tried a few other people and then we came back home for the day.
Wednesday we had District Council with the Zone Leaders and we talked about the Priesthood! It was a really good learning experience for everyone and it was really inspired! It was great! Then we had District Lunch at a Thai place in Starkville and that was pretty good actually. Then we came back and got ready for some lessons. Went out, sadly it fell through. So we knocked around and sadly we didn't get any success sadly. Then we came back, had personal study, then we walked over to Mieshas and had an amazing lesson with her about the scriptures. It really opened up her mind more to them and it was just amazing. Afterwards we came back home and ended the day.
Thursday was a pretty good day. We got a ride up to Tupelo because I had the opportunity to go to a Leadership Training Meeting! It was a really cool experience to be able to be with the leaders here in the Tupelo side of the Mission and be able to grow in understanding of the work in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission! I also had the opportunity to instruct on Call Ins and the importance of them! I was really nervous, but it went really well I think in the end. Then afterwards I had interviews with President Hansen so that was good. Then afterwards we started exchanges and I was with Elder Jorgensen in Tupelo and we tried visiting a few people but sadly it didn't workout so we came back in and just talked about things going on.
Friday we went to the Church because Elder Jorgensen had to get some Zone Leader business done. Then we did our studies and planned out the day. And after we had lunch and chatted for a little bit. Then we went out and visited people and such. We ended up finding a few people because of it which was awesome. Then after we got a few things done and then we drove to Okolona and waited for West Point to get there and then we came back home and ended the day!
Saturday was pretty busy! We had a ton of lessons sadly fall through. I had ZLC and then we started doing Weekly Planning and got it done thankfully. Then Bro. Nickerson picked us up and we went up to Aberdeen and visited a few people before seeing Keondrick. We read a few chapters with him and we all went in the car and drove up to Tupelo for the Adult Session of Stake Conference. During the car ride we als talked about the Plan of Salvation with him and that was good also. And Stake Conference was really awesome! I learned a lot! Then after we all got back in the car and drove home!
Sunday we got picked up and we drove down to Starkville where we watched the General Session of Stake Conference and Keondrick was there also! He enjoyed it a lot as well! Afterwards we came back with Elder Judd's fixed bike and we went out and tried to find people. We visited someone that Elder Judd and Elder Reardon came across and we made her a new person, also found out that she had heavy interaction with the Church in the past so we were suprised by that. We're going by this week to answer questions she has. Then we went and visited others and found 3 other people. And the last person we found, was because Elder Judd's pedal broke....................... So we had to walk. We visited Betsy and talked with her for a little bit and then we got a ride back home thanks to Neely's Husband. Then we did Call Ins with both the Sisters and then the Zone Leaders.
I definitely learned a lot from this week, and I'm thankful for that opportunity to learn! I hope I can continue to be a light towards each of you and show that there is hope in all things. I love each of you and I hope you all have a great week!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
