This week went by pretty quick like, even though not much
happened this week. On Monday we had a really good lesson with Melissa and Aiden
and they said they would read the Book of Mormon every night, and though we set
up an appointment with them for yesterday, that fell through...🙁.
Hopefully we can set up another time with them.
We did a lot of service this
week again. We went with the Sagers to the food pantry. We are well known there
now, all the people who work there know us. They even made name tags for us to
wear so people who aren't regularly there can ask us questions and stuff. It's
like we're part of the organization. We had district meeting on Wednesday and beforehand
the Sagers provided a district lunch for us. It is awesome having the Sagers in
our district. They are super fun to have around. I'll be sad when I leave this
district just because of them. Elder Murray is actually golfing with them right
now and I'm hanging out with the Guilford Elders.
Well Wednesday night we
helped Steve and Dana move and then on Thursday afternoon as well. They are
moving to Wilmington. They were not progressing, but they regard us as friends so
we helped them out. Steve was smoking the whole time and I started to get a
headache, and then it just got worse and worse. It turns out I got second hand
smoke from being with them for two hours. I felt like my head was going to
explode! It hurt so much! That night I went to bed early and I felt like I was
going to throw up it hurt so much. I woke up the next morning with a little
headache but it went away throughout the day, so I was happy it went away
quickly.
That morning we had interviews with President. It went well, and
basically he told us to keep casting our nets out and eventually we'll catch
something. I sure hope so.
It's been raining a lot this week and the weather is
still pretty cool. Last year at this time Elder Murray says it was already hot,
but we're getting lucky this year. It rained hard on Saturday and we had
lightning real close by. I really like how much it rains. I don't really love
it when we are biking, but when we have the car, I love it.
Church was great
this week. We actually got our ward mission leader to church this Sunday for
the first time in two months. We had a really good ward council meeting where
we talked a lot about missionary work and we were able to teach both junior and
senior primary sharing time. That was really fun. The kids in the ward really like
us, as well as the members. We've been here a long time together, Elder Murray
and I. Though it isn't the greatest missionary minded ward, it sure isn't the
worst. There are a lot of great people and families in the ward.
Transfers are
coming up this next Tuesday, and we feel Elder Murray is going, he's been here
for six months, that's pretty long. But anything can happen, we'll see. Elder
Murray and I teach really well together and maybe president has seen that and
he'll keep us even longer, who knows? We could even be whitewashed, anything could
happen.
Well, that's pretty much our week. Not too exciting. We taught a lot of
less active members this week, and sometimes it just feels like we are just glorified home teachers. But at least
we're doing what we can. I'll talk to y'all next week! We'll have transfer business
by then😳
