Monday we had the glorious opportunity to have District P-Day ft. The Tupelo Elders. Some members took us to Umi's and that was pretty good, and I got ratted out about it being my birthday and APPARENTLY I look like I'm in my mid-20s hahaha. Then afterwards we went to the Church Building and played games for a while. Then we came back home and finished up P-Day. After which we went out and tried visiting people but yet again things fell through. Then we came home and had Call-Ins with the Starkville Sisters and ended the day.
Tuesday was a very interesting, but good day. We got things ready for the day and we headed out to District Council in Starkville. The Sisters had the bright idea to surprise me early for my Birthday the next day, it was really awesome. It was definitely something I didn't see coming and I appreciated it a lot. And we needed up having a super good District Council about Missionary Work and how we need to keep ourselves encouraged by it. It was awesome. Then after we went out to Cookout and ate there. Then we came back and did a few things at the Library before having a lesson with Chong. It was a very interesting lesson and learned a little more about her. Then we found out exchanges were starting a little earlier so we rushed home and I packed up and we drove up to Okolona to start exchanges and I went to Tupelo with Elder Gomez Perez and went to a dinner appointment at a pretty cool restaurant and ate Buffalo and Elk. It was super good. Then we had a lesson and came home for the night.
Wednesday was my Birthday and I had the privilege of turning 20! We started off the day by doing studies and getting things ready for the day. Then after that we had lunch at Taco Bell for Lunch and President Hansen called and sang to me. Then afterwards we went out and visited people. We had some success in a few things and then we came back and got things ready to end exchanges. It was pouring rain so that was a lot of fun too. Then we drove to Okolona, ended exchanges, and drove to Aberdeen to a Mexican Place where we had dinner with the Browns and celebrated mine and their sons birthday and that was really cool. Then we drove home and ended the day.
Thursday was a hard day for me. Slight back-story: for those who have been to my house before or followed me on Instagram, you knew my chihuahua mix, Penny. Lately she hasn't been doing well whatsoever and they had to put her down on Thursday. It was very hard for me but it's just apart of life. But overall the day was pretty good. We did some service for a while and that was really good. We were able to go visit people afterwards and all that stuff. Then we ended up going in for the day.
Friday we went to the Food Pantry and did stuff there. Then afterwards we came back and finished up a few things and we started doing Weekly Planning. After that we did a few other things and then we went out and visited people. We saw Betsy and John and talked with them for a little each. And then we came home and ended the day.
Saturday we were able to take care of our calls that we each had. Then we got on our Bikes and contact John and Vernita, which we were able to do both which was awesome. Then we came back home and made cookies for the Potluck on Sunday. Then we went to the Church and did Correlation Meeting Prep and then we got Taco Bell, came home, and had a Zone Call and got Transfer News. I got released as a District Leader and I'm getting kicked to Arkansas in an area called Arkadelphia and I'll be companions with my 2nd Cousin Elder Jacob Roberts! I'm super pumped for it!
Sunday we were able to have Chong at Church and it was Branch Conference! We also had Potluck afterwards and it was super cool! Then after all of that we came home and did our studies and then went out and said goodbye to a few people and then we came inside and had Call Ins and dinner!
Overall the week was awesome! But a lot of learning and struggles. Things happen for a reason.. But God is with me.. Oh I so hope he is. Each of you are loved. See y'all in Arkansas!
May God be with you all, and know that I am here. I love you all!
Elder Braxton Hotton
