Week 71: Service and Thanksgiving!

Hello one and all! I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you didn't explode from all the wonderful foods. This week was pretty decent, so let's get right into it!

Monday after P-Day we had a lot of things fall through so we did some contacting over the phone and came back in for the day.

Tuesday we had District Council and due to some technical difficulties we had it outside which still ended up doing pretty good. Afterwards District Council me and Elder Judd went to Wendys to have Lunch and then we had a lesson fall through. Then we came back to our apartment and had Companionship Study and a few other things before we left for some contact attempts. We left and tried contact some of the people, most of them fell through and we dropped a few people. Then we went to another contact and had a really good discussion with her about a lot of things, it was pretty spirit lead and it was definitely needed for us to be there for that time. After that we left and did some other things and came back in for the night.

Wednesday we started off the day by going to the Animal Shelter and doing some service there. Then we went back home and got picked up by the Shields and we went to lunch. After that we came back and did our studies and decided to go finding in a area we haven't been to yet, and we were able to find a person and talk to a few people there which was pretty awesome! And while we were out finding we got a call from Dustin and we talked to him for a while and it was pretty awesome! After all of that we came back to the apartment where I made some Dragon Noodles and I took some of it to a lesson we had for someone who wanted to try it out! They liked it a lot and we talked more about what the Priesthood is and why it's important. Then afterwards we ended the day and came back home.

Thursday was Thanksgiving! We did studies and some Online Proselyting and then we drove out to the Wilsons to have Thanksgiving Lunch with them! We had a really good time there and then afterwards we came back and tried visiting a few people that sadly fell through, so we came back to our apartment to do some contacting. Then we went to someone's house who invited us for Thanksgiving and it was super cool. She was really nice. Then afterwards we went to go get gas and called a few people before heading to visit another person and talked to them for a while and they fed us a little bit. I wasn't as crazy stuffed then I was last year which was a blessing. Then afterwards we came back in and ended the day.

Friday we did a few things and then went to the Food Pantry which sadly didn't have any boxes this week. Then we came back home and did some studies and a few other things before we left to go do some service! We cleaned up a lot of sticks for this place that actually lives right next to our Branch President which was pretty cool! We talked to them afterwards and we are going back later this week to serve them again and answer any questions they have. Then we came back home and switched back over and had a lesson with Vernita. Then we came in for dinner.

Saturday we did some studies and went to go have a lesson but it fell through so we got some McDonald's before I had ZLC. After we had ZLC Brother Wilson picked us up early for lunch and we went to Aberdeen and had Wendys. Then he dropped us off at some service and we helped out there and they were really appreciative about it. And there was a lady helping out that wanted to learn more about what we believed so we talked for a little bit and set up a time! It was really cool! Then we stopped by Keondrick and set up a time to go by. Then we came back home and did some Weekly Planning and slammed our heads into some math things regarding miles, and then I had Call Ins with Starkville.

Sunday we sadly didn't have anyone at Church. But we talked to a few people after church. Then we came back home and did some studies before we left to go visit people. We sadly had everything fall through and we ended up having to come in early due to Elder Judd having a possible migraine so he rested while I did a few things in the apartment and made some dinner. Then I had a personal call in about the District with the Zone Leaders and that's about it.

This week was slightly a little slow it felt like, but there was some pretty cool experiences that followed. I'm excited for what the rest of 2019 has to follow. It's definitely a treat to say the least. I love each and everyone of you and I hope y'all have a good week! I love y'all!!

May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!

Elder Braxton Hotton
