Crazy week, but a great week for the most part. Monday night we had dinner at the Diller’s.
Tuesday we got to go to the temple as a zone. That was awesome; then we had lunch as a zone, at Wendy's. I love Wendy's. I can't remember exactly what else we did Tuesday.
Wednesday we had dinner with the Coopers, we had rolls, potatoes, lots of topping, beans, shredded meat, good stuff. Afterwards we had a lesson with this man named JB Anders. We got there and he had been reading stuff about Joseph Smith from an LDS site. We read with him like 20 internet pages of stuff and discussed them. He is golden, basically baptized...hopefully. Tuesday night we did an exchange with the zone leaders. I went to their area with Elder Angilau. He is AWESOME, taught me so much. I tracked a lot with him.
Then Thursday morning I think I woke up at 6 30, but very possible I didn't, anyway, we basically tracked alllll day.
Friday we had a ton of appointments. We had some great lessons, but some things fell through.
Saturday we taught a little and tracked a little, then had a "Chili Cook Off". We had some good food; lots of cakes and lots of chili. Us 4 missionaries were the judges of the cakes "best looking and best tasting" and the judges of the chili "best tasting, most unique, hottest (which sucked, there were alot of hot chili!), and best no bean". We had some investigators come whose sister just got baptized 3 months earlier. She seemed really interested and motivated to read the Book of Mormon and come to church, but Sunday came and she didn't go; she slept in.
Sunday I GOT TO BAPTIZE ADAM SALLEY! It was the coolest experience!!! 5 weeks in and 5 baptisms, the last being me in the water. and in this transfer 6 Sundays and every week we will have either baptized, and/or confirmed someone. I am truly blessed to be in this ready of an area. After church we had a great lesson with this lady named Bree. Sunday night I went on exchange with my DL and my comp and his comp went and slept at some other missionaries apt. and went to college station. So Elder Gardener and i were stuck with bikes, and no where to email (Mondays the library is closed) and we had to pay to do laundry, so we only did our whites. We had an appointment that night, it went so good! Oh, and I almost crashed on the way there. It was dark and I didn't see this huge drain till like 5 feet before so i jumped 2 feet down into it and hit the 2 feet wall on the other side and stopped, still on my bike. I was so "lucky", meaning, watched over by god and his angels, "blessed". Anyways, the next day we changed back companions and now I finally get to email on Tuesday at 3 30. Have a good one yall! Hope to hear from you, if your family, email me, or write me via postage. if your not family write a quick letter, I would love to hear from yall!
