Elder LaPray Nashville Tennessee

  Disclaimer: this week's entries came together in a total of 15 minutes, just a heads up!! :)) thanks for reading!!  Wednesday January 15th: Today was sweet! We went and did a sweet hike at Dunbar cave and then got panda and krispy kreme. We went to a park and played pickle ball and tennis and then came home and talked to family. Later we went to Walmart and washed the car for zone conference tomorrow. We did some finding and taught a guy named Alex and a guy named Robert, cool dudes! Both lessons were on the restoration!!  Thursday: Today was awesome!! We had zone conference in Kentucky and it was good as usual. I had my interview with President and I will most likely be staying in this area for one more transfer but who knows!! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings after and had a sweet time there with the district! We had some lessons but the only one really worth mentioning was with a dude named Kiki, super hype kid! It was on the restoration and he liked it so hopefully the...

  Week 48 Wednesday January 13th: Today was sweet! It was Elder Thacker's b-day so we both agreed on taking a good nap in the morning. After, we went and played some ball at the church and then hung out with the district for a bit. Later we went and got our hair cut by Brother Border and then we finally went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. It was a good pday! At 6:00 we got back to work and taught a couple of great lessons! We found 4 new people to teach in 3 hours! It was sweet! Oh and I guess on that note I might as well let y'all now that the Tennessee Nashville Mission is #1 in the entire world for finding people on Facebook. And #2 in lessons taught. So when people say in their homecoming talks "sorry everyone but so and so mission is the best mission there is" I can actually say it and not be lying ;)) #flex Definitely a good day!  Thursday: Today we started out by driving clear out to Ceder Hill! You can look at google maps if you really want lol, but it'...

  Wednesday January 6th: Today was honestly way fun. We went and played basketball in the morning with the zls for the first time in forever! It was actually competitive which was the best part! Then the sisters came and we messed around passing the ball to them and letting them try and play for the next 30 mins or so and then we all went to Chick Fil A and then played 9 holes of disc golf which was surprisingly pretty fun! After pday was over we had the most interesting lesson with a guy named Chris. We assigned him to read Alma 30 and he did, like insanely did, he had printed notes and everything and it was so dumb because he completely missed the message because he was caught up in the little details like what a testimony is, freedom of speech in that time, and rights and stuff like that, which would've been fine, except for the fact that he wanted to talk about each of those things for 20 mins and so the lesson went no where... kind of unfortunate but we are going to have one m...

  Friday January 1st: Today was New Years, but nothing special. I would however recommend the talk "Remember Lot's Wife" by Elder Holland for y'all to read. It is amazing! We had a good pday, talked to family in the am, went mini golfing and then to chickfila and then just chilled followed by shopping at the end. We made a lot of contacts, literally everyone said no though, so nothing to report there lol! That is all. Saturday: Today was good!! We did quite a bit of finding and had a few fun lessons come from it! We also went to our friend Chris' house after dinner (not the one who was just baptized, but the one who we helped moved awhile ago if anyone remembers) and we definitely had an interesting time. He is a super cool dude, but he just has so many theories, and wants physical proof. We invited him to read Alma 40 and 30, should be interesting next time!! Then we drove to Ciera's because we hadn't heard from her in forever and she's still interest...

  Firday December 25th: Today was CHRISTmas!! It was so awesome, I got so many presents from friends and family and I am just so grateful for all them, even the ones who didn't get me presents lol! I truly have the best family and I love all of them so much and I am so lucky to have such amazing supporters back home. Elder Eccles and I read Luke 2 before opening presents. Later our fetching phone service dropped!! We were like "uhh, what are we going to do now?" Our cell service is literally our missionary work at this point! We went to go see if the sisters were having the same problem and they were. We decided to go to the church and the other sisters had the same idea as well lol! We all played basketball and nerf wars and some talked to family too. It was great! We went to dinner at the Merrills after and they are so sweet! They gave us a gift, just like food and snacks and stuff in a stocking. It was so sweet of them. We went to the church after and used wifi for Fac...
