Well, this week was awesome, and kind of stunk a little
at the same time. The week started out kind of slow, Monday was fun though,
ish. As a zone we went to a park and played some games and right at the beginning I did something to my back. I don't know what,
but it hurt a lot. It took me a while to even be able to walk again. But I got
a little better and got to participate. It has hurt the whole week but it has
continually got better, I'm guessing it was a pinched nerve.
Tuesday we did service and had fun with that, then
Wednesday we went to zone meeting. We had a good zone meeting and afterwards,
Elder Brown, one of the Zone Leaders came on exchange with me in Mtn. Island.
He's a cool guy, we had a good time. We taught Michael and figured out his wife
has been holding him back. She's super strong Catholic, so she's not super
happy about us meeting with Michael. I bore a pretty powerful testimony and
afterwards she told me I would be a good Catholic priest. Hmm, nope, I probably
would not especially because I don't believe in their beliefs.
Thursday we exchanged back, had lunch, then did service
again. We tried to contact a few referrals this week but it didn't turn out
very well.
Friday we got up and just did the usual then went out and worked
pretty hard. Though we didn't see a lot of people, we had some fun. We walked a
long way to try and see a referral, but the referral didn't even live there, oh
well. We had dinner with the Duncans that night and afterwards Brother Duncan
came out with us and we contacted a couple referrals that we hadn't been able
to contact for a long while, so that was great.
Saturday was great! We had an
exclusive e missionary meeting with Elder Cook! We all got to shake his hand and
we got a picture with him. When I get it I'll show it to y'all. It was really
good. I also got to see all the missionaries from the whole mission, so I got
to see Elder Murray! So great! We had some visiting seventies that gave talks
and Sister Cook gave a great talk and led us in a song, which was pretty
fun. Afterwards, the missionaries that have served in Summerfield recently (other
than Elder Murray) went to Olive Garden and met the Shepherds there! It was cool to see them again.
Sunday was great too. Elder Toone and I got up, got ready
then went outside. Guess what? It had snowed! So crazy! Friday was about 70
degrees but it ended up snowing on Sunday, crazy. We got on the bus and headed
to the Bojangles Coliseum. There we had seven stakes attending. Elder Cook
addressed us all as well as some other general authorities and their wives. It
was great. I also got to see a lot of people from my old areas so that was fun.
A senior couple then gave us a ride home, and we got out and went to the
Fowlers and I got to see Edward again! They had taken him to the conference then
had him over afterwards. It was great to see him again. He's doing well. He has
a calling as a primary teacher now, so that's good to hear. He's got a good
outlook on everything as usual. He's a stud. Afterwards we visited a less
active then had dinner and visited some more people to end the night.
Today was
fun. We went to Red Robin as a district then went to the church and played card
games.
Elder Toone and I played 1-on-1 and I barely won, 100-98. We
have a lot of fun.
Anyway, this week was awesome, I got to meet an apostle
and hear his words. He has an outstanding testimony and it was cool to see he
was a pretty normal, funny guy. Well love y'all! Hope your weeks go well!
