Monday was a decent day. As y'all know I had technology issues(I'm sorry😅) and all of that but now it's fixed, I'll explain more into this week. Then after P-Day we finished our Weekly Planning because we didn't get to finish all of it during last week. And then I had Call-Ins with Starkville!
Tuesday we had District Council here in West Point, and we had a really good discussion about a few things. Afterwards we came back and had Lunch. We tried visiting a few people but most of them during that round fell through which sucked. Then we came back and finished our studies. After that we went to CVS and saw someone we were teaching and talked with her for a little bit. Then we went to go see someone else and had a really cool discussion with her! She found a few things that stood out to her while she was reading the Book of Mormon and she's excited to get back meeting with us again(she was the one we saw Sunday of last week's email). Then we got dinner from a member and it pretty much lasted us the entire week, it was super good.
Wednesday was our bike day because Thursday was going to rain. We had a lesson that fell through in the morning and then we came back and finished everything else. We biked down to the Animal Shelter and helped out there for a while and that was good. Then we came back and went to the Library and did some Family History which was pretty good. Afterwards we saw Betsy for a little bit and then we went to try and see a few people which fell through sadly but we saw John and talked with him for a little bit. Then afterwards we came back and ended the day.
Thursday is where the title comes in. I had contact with Church HQ throughout the week and apparently their Tier 1 people couldn't fix it for me, so I was worthy enough to enter into Tier II and they pretty much had me do something I know some missionaries would LOVE to do.. Which was to uninstall MaaS360(our app that controls what we can download and such). I had to reinstall it of course and it fixed my issue but it was just weird seeing YouTube on my phone for like 5 seconds. After all of that we had a lot of contact attempts and had a pretty good lesson with someone who works at one of the grocery stores here in town. But a lot of the other contacts either were short or fell through. And after all of that we came back in for the night.
Friday we started off the day with me having a ZLC Call and then doing service at the Food Pantry. After which we then we had lunch and took care of Boozey because Neely wanted us to take care of him for the weekend. Then we had contact with someone and then we did our Weekly Planning Session and got a lot of things done there. After that we contacted a few people and talked with John for a little bit and then came home.
Saturday was our 18 Month Mark!! And it was a very interesting day. We did our studies and got things ready for the day. Before leaving for Tupelo, we went and fed Boozey which was good. Then we drove up to Tupelo and picked up the Hamilton Elders and one other Elder from a dealership as they were getting their oil change. We drove to the Church and got things ready for the Broadcast with Elder Stanfill of the Seventy who was in Little Rock. We had a lot of technical issues but we were able to watch most of it which was good. We had to leave a little early to bring the Hamilton Elders back to ge their car. But we came back and locked things up because we had the key, and we dropped it back off at the Elders apartment. We drove back, got each of us a Staffords Milkshake to celebrate 18 months, and that was good! And we were at the Church for a little doing some Correlation Reporting and then we came home for the night!
Sunday we attended Branch Council and sadly no one we were teaching was at Church today, which sucked. Then after Church we had Correlation Meeting and we then came home and had Lunch. We did our studies and all of that and we tried visiting a few people and didn't have too much success in that. Afterwards we came back and finished other things we had to do and had Call Ins with Tupelo.
It was a bumpy week overall, but had some good experiences. I am reminded of something that I have to strive to live, which is Joshua 1:9, "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." As we strive to rely in the Lord in all things, it will all be ok in the end. It's hard to swallow that pill at times, but it will be ok, one way or the other. I love y'all and I hope each of you have a great week.
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
