4th transfer, 4th week

Hey Everyone,

        Another week has passed us by, warnings for next week, I am moving appartments this Tuesday to thursday, same complex  mail anything to the mission office. (as on the blog)

  Okay, so last Monday we had dinner with this family, that was really fun to talk to.  Then Tuesday we taught a bunch of lessons, 7 total, 2 member presents, 3 others, and 2 member lessons.  They all went well, and had a honduran dish for dinner, something like balialtes.  Wednesday we did service for laurel Lund, had lunch, taught a few people, then had dinner with a LA and a RC (Austin who we just baptized a few weeks ago), awesome dinner i liked the food, and the conversasion was awesome.  

Thursday we basicly did nothing, we had interviews with the President, which we do every other transfer, and then went to dinner after and it took all night.  and in the morning we did mormon.org.  Friday was a good day, had distric meeting, taught a few lessons after, then did more service for laurel lunds, then saturday we did three things, more service for laurel lunds 8am to 1pm, then picked up austin the RC for basketball, then took him home, showered, ate, then got picked up by a member, picked up Austin too, then went to a fireside that Steve Hayes and Thurl Bailey. 

 They are former NBA players Steve Hayes was a Mormon all his life, and grew to be 7 foot tall! Thurl Bailey's story was awesome!  He converted early in his marriage to a Mormon. It was an awesome story, when he was 13 he was 6'3'', then during the summer he grew 4 inches so at 14 he was 6'7'', then the next year he grew 2 more! so he was 6'9'' in 9th grade, then by the time he was in the NBA he was 6'11''.  They were soooo tall!  We happened to park right next to them, and they got out, we got out and talked to them for a little bit, and our RC Austin went up to Thurl Bailey, (Austin is black, and so is Thurl Bailey), and Thurl Bailey turned to him, grabbed his hand, and brought him real close, looked down at him and said, "you want to play one on one", Austin couldn't say anything, it was so funny.

 Then Sunday Tommy came to church, he gave up smoking for good, on Tuesday this week we took his pack of cigarettes, and he hasn't smoked since, now to get him off beer...much harder challange.  anyway, had church, then a baptism, the other Elders in our ward baptized a family of 6, it was so cool!  We taught someone, had dinner, tracked, taught an awesome lesson with a RC/LA and a few other people there, and ya, thats about my week...
