So this week Elder Toone and I worked our little butts
off. We were running around all week on the busses and trying to contact the referrals
we have and shorten the endless lists of referrals we have in our area book. It's crazy, it seems like as soon as we
knock a couple off the list, we get a text telling us we have a new referral! It
sure keeps us busy. In fact, we were walking away from a lesson we had with a
referral, happy that we were able to finally get in contact with them, when our
phone buzzed and lo and behold, another referral. Sheesh. I've never had so
many referrals in my whole life! Anyway, this week was such a blur. Tuesday we did service again,
but Thursday we weren't able to because we thought our apartment was going to
be inspected by Elder Zeballos, a Seventy visiting the mission. But it turns out things didn't go as planned and he wasn't able
to come, which is kind of a bummer because Elder Toone and I had that place pretty
clean. It's nice though to still have it pretty clean by the end of the week,
so that's a plus. Anyway, the Boones ended up inspecting our apartment and
they liked it. They were kind of weirded out by all the frozen bananas I had in
the freezer, but when I told them I use it to make banana bread they said,
"Oh cool, make sure to make us some." I gotta get cracking on that
banana bread, if I get transferred next week (which I really really really hope
does not happen, so it probably will) the new Elder here will be a little weirded
out.
Anyways, on Friday we had a multizone conference with Elder Zeballos. It
was really good. He talked a lot about how it isn't enough to know the gospel
information, or feel good about it, we have to do something about it. His wife
talked a lot about how we need to be happy, or at least act like we are happy
all the time, because people are watching and they wonder why we are so happy
and want to be happy themselves.
We had lunch as a big group afterwards and I
found a spot right next to Elder Zeballos. It was cool talking to him. The sisters
at the table did most of the talking but it still was cool to have lunch with
him. Afterwards, the Huntersville Elders couldn't find a ride, so they took
ours and we just bussed home. Sunday we had stake conference and Elder Zeballos
spake again. I really like him. He's pretty funny, yet understands the doctrine
so well.
Well that's about the week. Excuse me, I have to go beat Elder Toone
at basketball...again😏.
Love Y'all!
