More Root Canal, Pat, Zone Conference, and Snow Day's - 02/16/2015

This past week has been pretty good! 

Tuesday we called a bunch of people and set up a ton of appointments for the week,then we made plans for the week and updated our map. Later in the evening we went and visited a member and taught him about the temple. 

Wednesday we had a lesson with a member around at about 11 o'clock, then we had to go to the dentist and that took up pretty much the entire day because of the DC traffic and because they finished the root canal. It was pretty bad. As soon as we got home we had to go to ward meeting that took up the rest of the night. 

Thursday was our weekly planning day. We tried to make plans for our investigators but we never got in contact with them so it was kinda hard. We also had an appointment set up with a focus 15 family. So we headed over there but they weren't home so we weren't able to teach them. That night we went to a ward chili cook off and that was a lot of fun. There was lots of good food and lots of members to talk to. We all had a good time. But the best part of that night was that we were able to meet Pat. I have heard about Pat the entire time I have been in this area (about 4 and a half months) but I have never seen her. She is one of our members girlfriends that wants to take the lessons. And we were never able to see her until Thursday night. We set an appointment for tomorrow so it should be good. 

Friday we had zone conference. We had lots of great workshops about how to use our iPads. I learned a lot. The Gospel Library App is sweet! Afterward was not very productive. We had three appointments and all of them canceled on us.

Saturday was pretty awesome. We went and played basketball in the morning then we got ready and went out and checked on less actives. We didn't get a hold of any of them but we did fined two other people who are interested. I'll keep you guys updated on them. After that we went to another lesson we had with a less active. Then we went home. Later that night it went all blizzard mode and it got really cold.

Sunday we got a call from the APs telling us it was a snow day. The only thing we could do was go to church. After church we went home and stayed inside. It was so cold that I didn't even care. And now today we are stuck inside because they just called another snow day haha.

Thanks for all you do. Glad you guys are having fun on this holiday. And I'm not sure if it's big or not. I'm sure it's a lot bigger of a deal if you cross the river. Have a great day! 

Love,
