Tuesday we were on Degarmo time. we went to do service at brother Degarmo's and we had him pick us up so we could save on miles. We did service by roofing a chicken house and that lasted from 10 am - 3 pm. It could have gone faster if we were able to use drills, but it's a mission rule that we cant use power tools so it took a while to get the house roofed. once we got back to work not much happened so the day felt pretty empty. I went to bed determined to make Wednesday great.
Wednesday, I woke up sick. (just my luck) I knew that I had to be working that day so I got on my knees and prayed to be strengthened throughout the day. After we left the apartment I started to feel better, and literally the second house we knocked on there was a Mexican family that wanted to hear our message (early p.s. but I love Mexicans). We also went to McDonald's later that day and ran into a couple members from another branch that offered to buy us food. Wednesday was going really great but once we got back to the apartment, I felt sick again. I'm grateful for the lord in strengthening me to go out and do his work!
Thursday was another slow day, It was really rainy and it seemed like no one was in or out today. It must have been one of those days where you could just fall asleep listening to the rain on the window while sitting on the couch with a blanket and not have to deal with anyone, because no one answered to door today. we did spend a lot of time studying for missionary certification which is basically a test I have to take (I thought I was done with school for a while). I developed a fun way to study though. what I did was I wrote a list of points I need to learn and memorize from 1 - 20, then I have my companion roll my 20 sided dice and tell me what I point I have to give back to him. My companion kept rolling 20s so he must have some amazing luck or the spirit thought I needed to learn point # 20.
Friday we had district/.5 zone conference, were a couple of new changes happened. the only one I'm going to talk about is park your car Saturdays. This is where we take a car fast on Saturdays by parking our car in the area we need to be and then go out biking or walking the rest of the day. this is a change to hopefully allow us to stop relying on our cars and to be out and about more. I think this change will take some time to get use to and it made it pretty stressful this weekend when I went on exchanges to the Jasper area.
Saturday, so on friday and today I was on exchanges with Elder Walter in Jasper... well It was super stressful for me and I'll leave the details why in my audio recording. After that I returned to Woodville and taught a lesson with Heather who's the lady we taught last monday who's ready to be baptized. that went really well, and then we biked around town, helped a guy break a chain, and went to game night.
Sunday, 2 hour church baby!!! Come follow me is such an amazing resource and I encourage each an every one of you to make the most of it. The rest of Sunday was really great too, one of our recent converts, Callie, came to church and talked to us about getting her patriarchal blessing. we told her she had to talk to the branch president for that, and she did. she also invited us over to her house later that day to teach her boyfriend or rather explain why our church does some of the things we do. That lesson actually went really well, though I'm not sure her boyfriend is going to change much with his lack of desire to learn more. While we were there her little brother Alvey had a loose tooth ready to be pulled so we attached some string to his tooth and a Nerf gun and shot out his tooth. He was so afraid of doing it but the tooth came right out.
That's been my week this week, the audio recording explaines the subject "what lack I yet?," so until next week, Have a great one!
