Yawl hear bout the new shoppin sinner in Etlanna Jawja?

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 together for long! Night 

Thurs: Today was great! Had a lesson before transfers with Elder Ballard and Isamar. Then had transfers and Elder Clarke is dope! We relate on a lot of things and I am excited for the transfer. Its weird having to do more work because Elder Ballard did a lot, but I think it's going to be really good for me and today went really well. Had a good lesson with Chris and another with Sister Robbins. Then did some findings on Facebook and then I let Elder Clarke unpack. Now I'm ready for slumber. 

Fri: Had a great day! We were able to get a lot of weekly planning done and I am excited for this week. I am going to need to work harder and I love that! The Lord is trusting me with that and although it is stressful I know with His help I can do it. We had a great lesson with Chris and Miranda and taught the Word of Wisdom which has a ton to do with faith and trusting the Lord knows best. Then we went and played basketball and that was awesome! Then we had a lesson with Barbara and retaught the plan of salvation which went awesome! We burned Elder Clarke's tie for his 6 month mark he hit last week and it was way more fire than I was expecting! I recommended we soak it in gas hahah. It kind of burned David's overpass in his backyard but he didnt mind at all because he loved it too haha, I'm glad I'm not the only pyro! It was an awesome day, night! 

Sat: Had another good day. Made a lot of contacts on Facebook which is something I havent been able to do yet so that was really cool. We got the mail, dropped off some mail. Then went to the gas station and I tried to set up a call to share a message with the cashier, but she said her husband wouldn't like her talking to other guys.  I told her that he could definitely be there and to be honest, we'd love that even more! But she wouldn't drop the husband thing and so I dropped it haha. That was basically my first street contact though so that was fun! Made an awesome lunch for me and Elder Clarke, the same one Elder Murphy showed me! Then we tried to make a few more calls and contacts and that went good too. Slumber 

Sun: Woke up and studied Come Follow Me! If you havent done it yet this week do it! The inspired spiritual questions really help you study! Had a Sunday class scheduled over zoom with non members but no one showed up lol. So we made some contacts over the phone, tried to make some Facebook contacts, then had a good personal study. Had an awesome lesson with the Cameron's. Had a great lesson with the Church's and both of those lessons were from Come Follow Me! Then taught Tonya the Restoration and it went awesome!! Finished off the night by having a mission wide devotional which was real good too. Also talked to family and did sacrament and lesson with them, which was kinda cool I guess but I dont really miss them ;) now time for the best part of the day sleep! 

Mon: Woke up tried to call a ton of people without much luck haha. So we went to the church to try and make a video for Facebook. All of the missionaries have been asked to do this. It was so bad hahah, we just aren't very creative when it comes to church videos and dont have the best technology because of missionary restrictions. So, we sent what we had in anyway kind of hoping it gets shut down by the tech specialists, but if it doesn't you'll see it soon on my Facebook and see how great of a job we did :) then we had a good comp study, went to Wendy's. Had an awesome time teaching the Doctrine of Christ to Isamar, then had a dinner break, played some guitar during it. Finally tried to make a few more contacts with no success and had an awesome lesson with David and Barbara and he got us Panda. It was so fun! Night 

Tues: Woke up had a good study then had district council that went really well and we followed up by having a great lesson with Glenda and going over the Doctrine of Christ just like yesterday with Isamar. That went very well! Then we had lunch and comp study, followed by a lesson with the Cameron's and taught the Plan of Salvation! Then we had dinner, went out and got some pics by a mural, and then made some contacts before bed. We called one lady who's been asking for prayers all day. Her daughter just had a baby 3 weeks ago and she has had the coronavirus pretty much since then. She said that by us calling it was a sign to her that God is there, it was so cool! We were just scrolling through a list of people who were formerly taught and randomly chose her. The spirit was very strong in that short phone call and we will be calling her back shortly! Another great week has come to a close. Bed! 







I found out I'm related to Elder Clarke too
