Week 77: Bad Storm and Falling Lessons

Hello one and all! I hope y'all had a good week! This week we sadly had a lot of things fall through and we had a glorious storm come through. But I am alive. So yea. Let's get into the week shall we?

Monday we did our fun P-Day good old stuff and then afterwards we went and visited a less active Family and we had a pretty good discussion with them. They're super nice. Then we had to go and we came home and had Call-Ins with the Sisters.

Tuesday we did our studies and got things ready for the day. And then we went to the Animal Shelter and did service there for a little bit. Afterwards we came back home and got gas and other things done. Then Brother Lenahan picked us up and we drove an hour to a lesson in Houlka, MS. We had a really cool Restoration Lesson and it was awesome talking with him and his wife. They are super cool. We set up another time and then we had another hour drive back and then we had dinner.

Wednesday we were able to do our studies and got things ready for the day. We started off by visiting a less-active member for a little bit and that was pretty good. Afterwards we did a few things and then we saw Betsy and talked with her for a little bit. We talked about the Atonement and helped out in any way we could. Then we had a lesson that happened but didn't at the same time. Then we reported on a few things and then came back, did other things and Daily Contacting. After that we got stuff ready and we went and had a lesson with Miesha and talked with her about a few things. She is moving, but thankfully it'll be in the area still. After that we came home and ended the day.

Thursday we had District Council with the Zone Leaders and the STL's in Starkville, and that was pretty good overall. Then after District Council we drove back to West Point with the Zone Leaders and we ate at Staffords and that was good. After all of that we did Personal Study and went for a lesson that fell through sadly. Then we got some treats for Miesha and then came back and did Companionship Study. Afterwards we went for a lesson that sadly fell through as well. Then afterwards we went back to our apartment and did some Daily Contacting and ended the day.

Friday we went to the Food Pantry and did service there. Afterwards we saw someone at CVS and talked with them for a little bit. Afterwards we did a few things and came back to the Apartment and finished studies. Then we did Weekly Planning and only got part of it done. After that we had a few lessons that sadly fell through. So we stopped by Betsy again and talked more on a few things that she wanted to talk about and got more information that helps us out a lot. Then afterwards we dropped by Miesha's and gave her the treats we promised and helped her move a few things out. And then we came home and had dinner.

Saturday we had a crazy storm in the morning. We lived, so that's good. During that we did studies and had Calls to do. After all of that we drove up to Aberdeen for some lessons. Sadly a lot of the stuff fell through, but we were able to do some Daily Contacting. And we were also to get a hold of Keondrick which was great. He was glad to see us. After we chatted with him for a little bit we came back home and finished some studies and finished Weekly Planning. And we ended the day from there.

Sunday we went to Branch Council and that was pretty good. We didn't have anyone at Church again, it's rough. But after Church we had a Correlation Meeting with someone in the Elders Quorum Presidency. Then after that we came home and did studies and got a few things that we needed to do, and that was good. A little rough in one case, but it's just apart of the work we have to face. Then we saw Betsy and talked with her for a while. Then after that we came home and had Call Ins with our Zone Leaders and then had dinner.

It sucks having a lot of things fall through and when you don't understand why. There are a lot of trials that we face that we don't understand why they happen until later in life. It's hard for me to live it, but I'm trying to be the best I can be and know that things happen for a reason. But I pray that things will turn up and things will start picking up. I love y'all!

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