Monday- As everyone could see we didn't have our P day this
last Monday. We had a good time we went and taught this old couple named the
Benfeilds. It was a good lesson on the
restoration and they found it quite interesting. We ended the lesson and committed
them to come to church and they said they would do their best (they didn't
come). It was a good lesson and the crazy part was that they already had a Book
of Mormon. They couldn't remember where
they got it either! We continued to tract the rest of the day! Then Curtis
invited us to come with them to dinner at this place called waffle house. It
was pretty good I liked it and then we found out it was his Brother Ivan's
birthday so we sang to him and it was fun! Then we went and tracted a ton more
and tried following up with some people and we had to bike a ton but what was
really nice was Curtis was able to come and pick us up at the end of the night
so that was really good. All of our
tracting payed off because we were able to find 2 people that day it was really
great!
Tuesday- I had so much fun, we spent the whole day with
Curtis. So we were out of miles so he came and helped us drive to get
groceries. That was super nice and then
we emailed and what not. But then the day started when we got back we played
these board games that Curtis brought.
We made some cinnamon rolls and this Stromboli thing it was really good!
Such a fun time. The games were ones I
had never played before. I won twice it
was great! Then we got this call later that day and we ran over to help one of
our investigators really quick with some service and then basically the day
ended. We had dinner then we were to stay inside and plan for the week that
night! But we were able to finish early so I pulled out this church movie called
how rare a possession. I had never seen it before but it was really good! That
was our basic day!!
Wednesday- Was so much fun, we had a Tri zone conference and
it was really good. All of the instructions were really good, they focused on
faith and reaching goals that we have set. It was really a good time. Then we
did some service for the people who were hosting us. Then we had this activity
with it. We were on this farm thing so we had a sack race, and three legged
race. It was a ton of those types of games. Elder Robinson and I were the
anchor for the three legged race, and it was crazy, we were behind by quite a
bit when it got to us. We caught up and we were going so fast it was crazy,
then we went to turn and we both lost our footing and fell down, but we were
still able to take 2nd so that was good, but we were so close to beating those
who were in first! It was crazy awesome till we fell hahahah, then we went on
to win some other ones and what not it was really fun. The race messed up my leg it was all swollen
from the fall with the rope on and being tied to elder Robinson but I was fine
and it is doing really good now! That night we went and took one of our ward
missionaries out with us and it was really great because we taught an awesome
lesson to these two people and he had great insights and testimony!
Thursday- I had a zone meeting with the other leaders of the
zone it was quite interesting. We had a good time at the meeting. I of course
was cracking jokes the whole time trying to keep it lively!! It was great. After that I went on exchange
here in Raleigh with a missionary named Elder Lowe and we had a great time. We
had a good time tracting because that was basically all that we did, but it was
good. I rode a bus for the first time ever, it was pretty interesting! We had dinner with this member who was really
cool, he was a mission president down in Peru and he had the funniest stories
from it! Then tracting was great that night we were able to find 2 people who
were really interested! Then as we were walking to the bus we noticed that we
had missed it so we were like oh no... Then this member turned the corner and
was like want a ride? We were like heck yea! Then we got cook out shakes and he
sent a picture home it was a pretty great way to end the night!!
Friday- Elder Robinson came and picked me up so we were
finally able to be back together and we headed up to Wake Forrest. It was an
interesting day, we had a few people that we tried to get together with but we
missed them sadly. It was a pretty generic day, but that night was really
great! At 6 we went to this members home who had invited a family to meet with
us. We had dinner and it was a ton of fun the members are so cool and so is
this family. We taught them the restoration.
We went over how Christ had established a church and the apostasy and
then Joseph Smith and his part in being called as a prophet! They had great
questions and we set up another appointment and committed them to read and pray
about the Book of Mormon. After the discussion it was funny the member
challenged us to go and play them in foozeball. So my skills were put to the
test. I won a few games but then I lost,
my left hand is really bad now at playing! It was a great night!
Saturday- We went to an appointment and it was with the
people that we visited with on Wednesday.
It was crazy and tough because Wednesday after we left a member of the
family tried to commit suicide. It was super discouraging, but we taught about
our relationship to Heavenly Father and how they can get strength from him. It
was very interesting, we just tried to show our love to them and asked how we
can help them out. All of that put a damper on them coming to church this week!
It was super sad, but we will help them work through it! We finished the night
with visiting this less active member and it was great they talked about how
they wanted to start coming back to church so hopefully we can help them get
there!
Sunday- Was great, I
got to meet a lot more members of the ward.
It was sad no one that we invited to church came and that was hard. But
we will get people to come. What was
really cool was there was a member from the Raleigh 1st ward and he was going
around telling everyone that they had some great missionaries in the
ward!!! It was really funny! It was a great Sunday, we had an awesome
dinner with these members named the Henderson's. We had ribs and it was so
good, and they have some super fun kids!
Then we went tracting and we found a baptist seminary student who is
getting his masters. It will be
interesting with our return appointment. He said he was going to bring his
bible hahaha!! Then we went and visited a recent convert and went back over the
restoration with her. It was great way to end the night!!
Today we have a zone activity it will be tons of fun since
we are playing chair soccer!!
