Week 73: Snow and Zone Conference!

Hello one and all! This will be my first email I will send out today! I will send out my next weekly here shortly, but, this week was a little bumpy, but we had some good things happen too. Let's get into it!

Monday I got my haircut and we did our P-Day things. Afterwards we were supposed to have a lesson but it sadly fell through. That was pretty much the Monday, not much actually did happen.

Tuesday we did studies and got a few things ready for the day. Then we went out and visited a good bit of people. We talked to Betsy a little and then we did some contacting. We tried finding a little but it didn't work. So after that we saw Jimmy and watched The Christ Child with him and that was super good. Afterward we stopped by Scott and visited with him for a while and it was really good. He loves having us come by. And then afterwards we went to Taco Bell where it started to snow!! And it snowed actually pretty decently for a little bit! It was awesome! Then we came home.

Wednesday we had Zone Conference up in Tupelo and that was a really good Conference. We talked a lot about the importance of Obedience and about focusing on what's happening today and taking it one by one. Then after Zone Conference we went back and had a really good lesson with Miesha and talked about struggles and made some goals with her, it was a really good discussion with her. Then after we came back home for the day.

Thursday we did our studies and all that good stuff and then we went out to do some service for someone and we raked a good chunk of leaves up which was pretty nice. And then afterwards we changed and went to a lesson and that sadly fell through. And then we went out to try a few other things that we wanted to give a shot with but it didn't work either so we just ended the day.

Friday we were supposed to have a lesson with Vernita but that fell through, but she said she'd be at Church. Then we went to the Food Pantry and did some service for a little bit. Then we came back and finished up studies for a little bit. And we did some contacting and went to go have a lesson which sadly fell through. So we came back and made some treats for the Branch Christmas Party that was going on that night. Then we went to it and had a really good time there. Got to take photos with Santa (sadly I don't have them yet). And then we helped clean up and went home.

Saturday was very disappointing. We did our Weekly Planning and got that done pretty nicely. But then we went up to Aberdeen and met up with some people to pick up a bike for a missionary. And then we had hopes to see a lot of people in Aberdeen.... But in the process literally everything fell through and we ended up dropping more people in the process. It was very sad and we were really bummed about it. One of which got anti-ed so that sucked a lot. Then we just came home and had dinner and ended the day. We also had to move Call Ins due to some things that came up.

Sunday we had Vernita at Church which was exciting! Then after church we went home and did our studies for a little bit and then we went out and did some finding. We found 1 person in one area which was pretty cool. He is the dad of someone that we are teaching and he's really nice. And then afterwards we walked around some more and went to this one place and went finding some more and we ended up finding another person which was awesome. Then we finished up and ended the day there and had Call Ins with Starkville!

We had our difficult times, but it was a pretty good week overall in some cases. Bumpy, very, but still got things done. I'm thankful for the small blessings we have and I'm excited to see what else is coming! Have a great week!

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