Hey everyone! This week has been pretty great!
Monday we
headed down to a zone activity in silver spring. We had a chalk fight and then
we played a bunch of sports. It was pretty fun. After the activity, Elder Lee
came on exchanges with us up to our area. We had dinner and family home evening
with some awesome family's.
Tuesday we did
a bunch of service for members. We helped this older lady with some yard work.
We then helped another member with his garden. While we were doing this we
started talking about things that we liked to do at home. Long boarding came
and one thing led to another, he let Elder Crandall and use his boosted boards.
They are self propelling longboards that are controlled by a blue tooth
controller that you hold on to. It is way sweet and they go pretty fast. They
told us one of these P-Days we can take them down into DC! We will for sure be taking them up on that offer. After
we had finished with them we had a great dinner with some other awesome members.
Wednesday was
our temple trip and that is always great!
After we had finished we came back into our area and visited a few
members then we had to drive back to the temple for a lesson with Marie. We
watched Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration with her. We then had a really
good conversation with her, talking about what she needs to do to build her
faith.
Thursday we
had our last district meeting of the transfers. Everyone in the district gad the opportunity to bare their testimonies. After the
meeting we walked across end the street to the temple to take our District and
Zone pictures.
Later that day we had dinner with a family. One of their son's
is getting back from his mission very soon and another son is getting married
only a couple of weeks after the other one gets home. On top of all that this
family is getting ready to move down to South Carolina, so they are very busy.
It was really nice of them to take time out of their crazy schedule to feed us.
Friday Elder
Crandall and I went on an exchange to the farm that we work at weekly. That day
we spent pretty much the whole day pouring cement for a horse barn they are
putting in. We then spent the night with a bunch of other missionaries. It was
pretty exciting haha.
Saturday we we
worked on the farm for a couple of hours then we headed back to our area. We
went to the Blewett family for, you guest it, more service. We spent pretty
much the entire day shoveling dirt and spreading it all over the lawn. It was
actually really fun. The Blewett's are one of my favorite family's that I have met
on my mission. Mary Ellen and Rick have been members for almost two
years now. They were baptized on Mother's Day in 2014 so just a few months
before I came to the Kentland's Ward for the first time. They are the only two
members in their family. They have two kids who are in their early 20's that we
are trying to work with. We are hoping that over time their hearts will soften
and they will be willing to listen.
Sunday we had
our regular church meetings. It was a really great fast and testimony meeting,
with awesome lessons the cap it all off. After church we had our study's then we went to dinner
with another solid family in the ward. Once we had finished, we spent the rest
of the day checking on less actives and we were able to actually have a really
great visit with one of them. All in all it has been an excellent week!
This Wednesday
will be transfers and Elder Crandall and I will be staying together in the
Kentland's Ward.
Thank you so much for all the support you guys give me.
Hope you all have a fantastic week! Byeeee!
