Monday after P-Day we went out and tried to visit people but everything fell through sadly. So we came back to the apartment, did a few things then I had Call Ins with the Starkville Sisters!
Tuesday we had Zone Conference up in Smithville, Mississippi and that was a really good Conference. We talked a lot about how we can best help the mission move forward and talked about being bold too. It was awesome. Then afterwards we drove back to West Point and met the Brown Family at Staffords where we had dinner at! It was a really good day.
Wednesday we did our normal studies and got things ready for the day. We went to the Church to figure things out, and during that our phones decided to get messed up by MaaS360(an app that the Church helps allow us to download certain things). So we weren't able to get in most of our apps for most of the day. Then afterwards we stopped by Betsy where we chatted with her for a while and invited her to Church. Then we had a lesson that fell through so we rescheduled a time and then we did a few things at Wal-Mart that we had to get. Then afterwards we got some things ready(and thankfully our phones got fixed..for the most part) and then we had dinner with a family from the Airbase at La Fiesta Brava, which is a good mexican place here in West Point. Then afterwards we were supposed to have some lessons but it fell through so then we went to someone's house and had a good visit with him and read The Family: A Proclamation to The World(if you haven't read it recently, I suggest you do) and that was really good. Afterwards we came in for the night and finished a few things.
Thursday we biked for the first time in a long while haha. We did our studies and got things ready as usual. I also fixed up some of my other problems that follow the whole MaaS thing and turns out my email on my phone didn't want to sync so that was great. Then we went out and visited a good bit of people. Some things fell through but we had some good conversations with those we did see. We helped someone out with their technology again, checked up and saw how someone was doing, and then saw someone at CVS, where we also found another person through that. So we were happy about that. Then we biked back and did a few other things and then we saw 2 other people with brief contacts and then we came home and had dinner. It was nice to be on the bike again.
Friday we started off in the morning with exchanges with our Zone Leaders and I went with Elder Daniels in Tupelo, we started off the day by getting a call to the Tupelo Hospital to give a blessing to a member in New Albany. So we went and did that and that was good. Afterwards we drove to the apartment and started studying and planning. Then we had lunch at Dairy Queen and then visited people. We found a person during the process and we had a good day overall. Then in the evening we visited a ministering family and we had a good visit there. Then after we came home and finished off the day there.
Saturday we finished exchanges and we drove back to West Point. I had my ZLC Call and we got some things ready. Then we drove up to Aberdeen and had lunch with the Nickersons and we visited a few people with Brother Nickerson which was really good. Then afterwards we did a few things in Aberdeen and then we drove all the way to Houlka and had a lesson with someone which was good. Then we drove back to West Point and ended the day.
Sunday we sadly didn't have anyone at Church. But we had a Potluck after which was pretty good. And then we typed out a few things to send to the Elders Quorum. And then we came back and then had a good visit with someone we met a few weeks ago. She met with missionaries for a long time in the past and almost got baptized, so we have a lot of potential with her. Then we came back and did Weekly Planning before Call Ins. After that we had dinner and ended the day with a big headache..which sucked.
It was a good week overall. We got a lot of things done and was busy the entire week. I am grateful for the time that I had to work and learn. It's hard sometimes.. it really is. But it'll be worth it. It will. I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
