Monday- We had a zone activity down in Raleigh, it was a ton
of fun. We played a ton of sports and what not so it was a good time. We played
this one card game at the end that was pretty weird it was where you got a
character card and an attribute and so did your opponent. Then
you decided who would win in a fight between the two characters. But it was a
good time, I think everyone in the zone came and had a pretty good time! It was
pretty fun! That night was pretty good, we went and tracted a ton. We were in
this one neighborhood that was pretty nice and some members of the ward live
there. We found this guy named Matthew and he is pretty cool. He has seen Jesus
play a huge role in his life and really helped him with tough decisions and
what not. He really liked the message of the restoration and the concept of the Book of Mormon. It was really cool, and we were able to teach him quite a bit and set up a return appointment,
so that was good!
Tuesday- We did our accounting for the day with the zone
leaders, it was pretty interesting. Then we went to our
appointment with Sue and Gilbert and for some reason they weren't there so that
was weird since they are this older couple who like never leave their home. We
will see what happens with them. We checked out this place right next to
them and it was weird because it looked like it was an apartment complex thing but
after walking around it for just a bit we were like yea not sure what this
is... so we left! We tracted a ton as well, I mean we tracted all day. It was great
because we had a lesson with our investigator named Dan. He should be getting
baptized here soon. It was good then we had a really great lesson with a lady
named Connie who is really awesome, and we were working on getting her to come
to church!
Wednesday- We had district meeting, with both us and one
other companionship so that was fun. It went pretty well and it was fun having
it be so small and simple. Made it easier to have everyone involved in what we
can do better! We then went and tracted a ton again. We were tracting in this
one neighborhood and we met this anti mormon theologist, who has disproved
everything we believe multiple times. He was interesting to talk to for a
minute then I shook his hand and told him I was going to go knock on other doors.
He was funny though and he didn't bring up anything I haven't ever heard before ha! But it was great, then we got the cops called on us... But it was all good
because this person just wanted us to move our car and everyone was nice about
it! It was all good. That night we had a great dinner with some members,
but afterwards we planned to work in their neighborhood and we got some hot
chocolate from some super nice people!
Thursday- We tracted a ton again, we had a lot of planning
that we did as well. At 3 though we were able to have a lesson with a lady
named Kathrine. She is super interesting, she only believes in doing what
you feel God tells you and not what is written in a book... She is a "free
spirit" pretty great we will see how the teaching process goes from here.
She did say that next Sunday she will come to church! So that is super cool,
and we also got to go out with this Rm named Ryan Barnes. He served his mission
in Ghana, the Accra mission. It was a good time, we went and taught the
Hendersons, some members in our ward an active member lesson on missionary
work. It was a great time they have the funniest bunch of kids. It was a great
lesson with them!
Friday- Was quite a blur we tracted a ton, like 10 to 4:30
we were knocking doors and we met a lot of really cool people and found a few
people who were interested. That morning was so cold though. Then at 4:30
we had a great lesson with a guy named kelvin and we set him with a date to be
baptized it was great. He is going to be turned over to the other elders since
he doesn't live in our area but it was a great lesson. Then what was really
cool was that night we got to help out at a merit badge clinic for the Boy
scouts. We helped with a citizenship in the nation merit badge and we got to
meet a ton of non members. One kid even drove down here from Buffalo New York
crazy!! Good time though it was a ton of fun that was for sure!
Saturday- We went and helped some people move an oven, and they gave us pizza so that made it really good. Then we went
and were tracting in these mansions of houses. It was quite interesting, we had
this kid whistle and we would whistle a tune back to him. It was funny because I don't
think I ever saw where he was but the houses were huge!! Then we went and
had another lesson that night with Connie and it went really well. We shared a
powerful lesson on how it was satan keeping her from church and we got her
pretty fired up to go and she was committed to come!!! It was pretty cool! Then we went and visited her daughter who is really cool and talked to us
about wanting to come to church as well, so that will be really awesome!
Sunday- Connie didn't come to church so that was sad, we called her and
she cancelled last minute it was a heart breaker!! Church was really good, I enjoyed the lessons that we had. We had our appointment with Matthew and
we are going to try to start teaching his family so that should be fun!! Then
we were able to get some delicious BBQ for dinner from some members! That night
was crazy, we were out tracting and it was about 7:30ish when we knocked on
this door. Next thing we know this lady is like who is it, so we tell her and
she yells something through the door. Then the door swings open gun in hand
aimed in our general direction. She the proceeded to yell at us for knocking so
late, we were understanding since she had a 7 month old baby but it was so
cool. Good thing was Elder Robinson was in front so I wouldn't have been shot - lol.
It was pretty funny!!
Great way to end the week, hope everyones week was a fun as
mine was!!
Love Elder Dylan Hutchings
