Elder LaPray Nashville Tennessee

Wednesday April 22nd: Today was good! Sent emails and talked to my fam in the morning. Went to David's to get some stuff for Elder ballard and ended up going to eat with him and Barbara, which is technically not allowed but it was Elder Ballards last day and gosh dang it was so nice! Then dropped some stuff off and said goodbye to the Camerons and I played some ball with the kids while Elder Ballard talked to the adults lol yes I'm very mature. Then had a lesson with Marshelly and her mom and it went well! Talked to my family more then had ward coordination which also went awesome! Then talked to my fam again and now I am here writing. Just wanted to say this so I remember, Elder Ballard said I'm tied for his second favorite comp, so that was cool haha. I'm gonna miss the guy. It's weird, this last week we have gotten along really well. I guess that's another lesson I've learned from him, to have as much fun with your comp as you can because you are not tog...

Wednesay April 15th: Woke up at 9 and my comp slept till 10:30 while I wrote emails haha, I had a good time doing it though so that was sweet. Went shopping, bought a speaker and quadruple checked with my comp that it was okay so I think we are all good, dropped the car off to the other Elders, got a ride home with David and he got us Wendy's which was so nice. Had a good time talking to my family and my grandparents! Skyped through for a few mintues to Mathias with my mom's phone and wished him a Happy Birthday! Then had a good few contacts and coordination meeting with the ward! Good nice easy Pday, can't wait until the next! Bed Thurs: Had a good morning put my speaker to use in the shower (yes it's waterproof) with the 7 songs my sister has sent me since she is "too busy" in quarantine for me! Had a good lesson with a member, made some calls, threw the football around and talked about Alma, and then had a good lesson with a girl named Isamar. It was a...

Wednesday April 8th: Pday was sweet! Woke up and sent out a ton of emails and got to talk to a lot of people I've been missing so that was sweet! If I didn't email you and you are reading this I miss you too so send me an email, I'd love it. Then we went to the church and got the church tv set up for zone conference tomorrow, went shopping, then switched the car with the Elders we trade with each week. Had an awesome time talking to family and cleaning the apartment, then had two great lessons after 6! Good pday forsure! Snooze  Thurs: Woke up and headed to zone conference which was mission wide, and it was over a zoom call so it was super weird, but I gave the opening prayer! Elder Ballard and I also gave a demonstration on what we do when we call inactive members, that went good! We went to David's to give him a blessing and got to talk for a bit with him which is always fun! Came home and ate and took care of some business then Elder Bagshaw and Elder Howe (trav...

Wednesday April 1st: Slept in just a tad today and that was sweeeet! Had a great time shopping and I bought a tv for conference this weekend since we are not able to go to members homes to watch it due to the virus. Staring at my phone for all those hours seemed quite eye straining.  I wanted to make the best out of a bad situation and make things fun this weekend, and I didn't think of this as being disobedient. I wasn't going to open it until Saturday morning and planned to box it up Sunday afternoon and take it back on Wednesday. Had a great talk with my fam and man it is so good talking to them twice a week right now!! Had a good ward coordination meeting over a conference call, however it is so weird, the ward leaders here are basically discouraging baptisms at this time. Everytime we tell them we have an upcoming date they bring up all the points they can on why we should wait and not do it. I would have never expected anyone to do that. Their concerns are valid, don...

Wednesday, March 25th, Had an awesome p day! My comp tried out a new alarm and it didnt work and so we slept in... coincidence? As Elder Bednar would say "Tender mercy". We then went to Walmart got our food for the week and went on an awesome "green walk" (basically a hike but on flat ground cuz they have no mountains here) by a river. After that we went to the church and played ball for a little, that was sweet, then had Chick Fil A to wrap it up. We got home and somehow our detergent spilled all over the carpet, like a gallon! We werent quite sure what to do about that. Then I met the bishop finally cuz he had to sign the baptism papers! After that, both our lessons fell through but we had a real good day so it didnt bother us too much. Finally we headed up to go on exchanges so now I'm at my apartment with Elder Holbrook. He's way cool. Bed.  Thurs: Today was good! I got up first and got ready and had to wake Elder Holbrook up but he got ready quick...
