The Looonnggggg Week

I don't know why but this week has seemed like an eternity. I still have a hard time believing transfers was less than a week ago. Yep, so I'm super glad I get to stay in this area until at least the end of March, I really like this area. 

This week things were so so, not too bad, not wonderful, just another week in the mission. We were able to see Michael again Tuesday morning. He's reading and praying, but he explained to us that he's old and he takes a while. He's alluding to the fact that he's getting closer and closer to believing the Mormon teachings. He's progressing slowly, but at least he's progressing, unlike all of our other investigators. We just can't seem to get anyone to church. It's kind of sad. Oh well. 

Tuesday we did service as well, then we had dinner with the Duncan family and then took their son Noah out with us to see the Juarez family. 

Thursday was a pretty good day. We started out pretty early and went and contacted two referrals in the morning and one of them became a new investigator, so we're pretty pumped about that. He had to cancel his appointment later in the week, but he seems like a cool guy. We then went to the apartment complex right next to ours and helped a new senior couple move into the Ward! Their names are the Boones and so far, they are great. They basically told us they are only there to help the missionaries and members in the Mountain Island Ward out. So we are probably going to ask them for a lot of rides, considering they live so close😏. During the transfer, our zone got a car taken from it, so now we are in a car share instead of a trip share, so that's a big bummer, so we have the car one week less in a month. I wasn't too happy about that but oh well. After we helped the senior couple move in Elder Boone and a mission office Elder took us out to Buffalo Wild Wings. So good😋. Then we did service again and afterwards had dinner at the Corbetts'. Sister Corbett's parents were there and they made authentic Vietnamese dishes for us. We had these things called clam casinos...so good. It basically was a clam shell, with the clam meat in it, with the clam juice, as well as bacon. You had to put the clam shell up to your mouth and suck the stuff out. It was pretty good. Elder Toone didn't like them so much but I ate a bunch. We also had Vietnamese pancakes, which was kind of like a soft taco filled with onions, shrimp, and some other meats, that was pretty good too. Afterwards we went with Brother Corbett to go see Brandon. He was not in a very good mood so we had our lesson on charity, and I think he lightened up a little. He said he would come to church on Sunday but he didn't end up making it, sad day. 

We had district meeting on Friday, church on Sunday, and that's about a rap. Hopefully we have a great week this week as well as y'all! Love ya!
