Wow! I'm the worst lol here are the last few weeks.
Week 79
Wed: Today was good we went golfing and that was really fun! Afterwards we came home and really just hung out at the apartment we didn't have a ton of miles so it was a chill day! We ate dinner at the Miles house and just did finding work afterwards!
Thur: Today was good! We did some street contacting and had some good success! We talked to a guy named Bryan and he was pretty interested so we'll see where that goes as well as a guy named James who came off as he knows at all, but he said we come back so that'll be exciting!! We got a good pizza from Aria then did some work at home!
Fri: Had weekly planning today in Franklin and dinner at President Alley's house. Super nice family love them. Did missionary work nothing crazy today.
Sat: We had a great lesson with Kenny at Pizza Hut, no we didn't eat, but it was a really great lesson, he's a great guy, really hoping he can continue to strengthen his testimony. We drove to Franklin to have a lesson with Candice but she didn't end up being there so that was unfortunate, so hopefully we'll see her again soon.
Sun: Decent day, church was awesome, Stephen's lesson before church fell through, nothing crazy happened today. Had dinner at the Ramos' house they are really sweet too.
Mon: We didn't have district council this week due to Zone conference this Thursday, but we had a really good day! We had a leadership call this morning, then went street contacting again back to the same area, had a really good conversation with this girl named Makayla we talked a little about the restoration but mainly just Jesus Christ and her religious background. We talked to this girl named Jada who was super sweet and set her up with the sisters in BG where she's living, she was at a family party which is how we ran into her! We talked to a guy named Antonio, who chatted with us for a really long time and we were bold about the Book of Mormon, but he wouldn't take it which was sad, but he was cool about it. Then talked to this guy named David and we shared the gospel of Jesus Christ and he seems like he has a lot of potential! Super excited for him! We also tried to share the restoration with this lady and we sat down for like 20 mins but she was didn't really care to listen even when we were bold so oh well. After dinner we were early to a lesson and so we stopped at a lady's house who was formerly taught, I've never been able to meet her but she was outside! The guy she was with was super confrontational, but he ended up being really cool, because he stopped assuming and let us talk lol we were running short on time so we gave her a Book of Mormon and invited her to read and set up a time to call. Then we had a lesson with Lisa and Sister Calvert, we reviewed the baptismal questions and she is so ready we invited her to give us a date next time we talk and she accepted! Then we went to Arias for dinner! Sorry that was a lot, it was a good day!
Tue: Today we had a call with a guy named Carl, he gave us his address really quickly and was interested in a Book of Mormon, super cool! Had dinner with the Boohers then we stopped at this Christian prayer gathering and they allowed us to go and share a thought so I got to preach at another church lol, I shared a scripture from the Book of Mormon and talked about unity as a country it was good! Then we drove down to Goodlettsville to spend the last night here with Elder Bryson before he heads to Canada!
Week 80
Wed: Had an awesome pday, through the football because Elder Bryson held out on me and didn't tell me he had a Presidential scholarship to play quarterback at some school out east when he comes home! That was super fun, it was only for a bit. Then we went and did bungie jumping, lazer tag, bumper carts, and bowled! We had to squeeze six missionaries and 2 mattresses in a car home and that was super funny (almost got pulled over) haha. Had dinner with the Miles again and that was the day.
Thur: Zone conference!! Super good day drove to Hopkinsville got a car wash, went to the stake center and had a really good zone conference. Learned a lot about the importance of the first vision and the Book of Mormon and was called to repentance as I haven't been using them as much as I could as missionary tools, so I've set a few goals to do better! We got really good burgers afterward as a district, then we went to Clarksville because Elder Baker needed to deposit money in a certain ATM lol. We called some people on the way home but that was the day!
Fri: Had lunch with the McGuire's, drove way out to drop off a Book of Mormon to Carl who wasn't home... had a good member lesson with the Milam's they are really good people. Street contacted after some lessons fell through and had a good lesson with a girl named April about the Book of Mormon and used John 10:16 that was good! They we talked with Candace from the other day who we gave the Book of Mormon too but were short on time and she actually read!! It was so cool! Super exiting! We had a lesson with Tammy and taught her the restoration and she didn't seem to get it but we were bold and she said she was interested still so we got an address and gave her to the missionaries in her area.
Sat: Had weekly planning, had dinner at the Calverts. I had a prompting during zone conference to visit the neighbors across the street so we did and his name is Allen he was a really cool and was fairly interested so that was really cool to see a prompting amount to something! We had a really good lesson with a guy named Lee on the phone teaching the restoration then we talked with Frank who we haven't taught in awhile and he's interested in meeting again! Then we had a short call with a girl named Teresa and she'd interested in learning more about the Book of Mormon!
Sun: Had 2 really good lessons before church! One with David who we gave a large print Bible too and invited him to read Ezekiel 37 and one with James who lived was the guy who seemed to know everything and his girl Annette. It was a decent lesson we went over the plan of salvation and it was good, if nothing else we got him (kinda her) more interested so that was good. Had a great church service. We are going to be staying in Franklin until Pday because we are out of miles lol. We had a good cold call lesson with Ashley and taught a little bit of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We had a great dinner withe Ramos family again. Candace called us back and she is doing so good with the Book of Mormon still reading and comprehending and basically accepted an invitation to be baptized, literally so cool!
Mon: Had a call with Nicole today and talked about faith after sharing Ether 12:12, miracles, and the Book of Mormon, she is going through a lot right now so we testified of the Holy Ghost and she seemed really cool! Did a lot of finding, but we did have a super good lesson with this Lady Elder Baker cold called earlier in the week who agreed to meet us at the church, she brought her mom and we taught the restoration, honestly one of the best restoration lessons Elder Baker and I have had they both accepted Book of Mormons and committed to read and pray.
Tue: Had district council and went to bdubs after, got some tasty wings. Came home and then the Storrers took us out to eat Mexican which was super good too! Dieting is impossible on the mission... then we had a good call with a sweet guy named Eddie who is older. Then had a lesson with a kid named Chris we talked about Ether 12:27 faith, grace, trust, and how God is unchanging. It was good!!
Week 81
Thur: Today we had a chill morning morning went and did some service for the Boohers clearing out a piece of their property because the Bohn family is moving to Franklin and while they decide on a house they are parking their rv at the Boohers so they needed a space space do that! We had a good rest of the day then Taught a guy named Joe on the phone a little bit about prayer and faith and that was basically the day!
Fri: Today we had weekly planning and a super good dinner at the Calverts! We had a crazy time helping make it and the sausage she got was a new kind and it was horrible so we had to re do it lol. It was a rough night though, we went to go have some lessons with some people we thought were promising and the first one was David and daughter came out and was super contentious and wouldn't let us say anything and was attempting to call the police and was just clearly not having it and we even had brother Calvert there and she wasnt kind to him either, then directly after that we Bryan and he told us him and his wife did research and they weren't about it and we tried to testify but they were set, so that was two downers in a row. We did have a really cool lesson with Tyler though after and he was really kind, we gave him all the pamphlets cuz he stays really busy and he said he'd read them and we could follow up! That basically sums up the day!
Sat: Today was had a great lesson/discussion with Stephen over breakfast at waffle house, really productive he's a good dude. We had an awesome dinner with Aria and her sister! We came home and had a good lesson with a guy named Annabel who's from Guatemala and his English is so so, so that was interesting! Then we had an amazing lesson with a guy named William, we taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and HE asked when he could be baptized, super cool experience, sadly he lives in another area, but sure hope all goes well for him!
Sun: I had a good zoom call with President this morning, I really love the guy and he is always telling me how I can be better which I appreciate. We had a good church service and I was able to bear my testimony which was good because this is most likely my last Sunday here. We called a kid the other day and shared a bit of the restoration and invited him to invite his family to hear next time we call which doesn't usually amount to much, but we called this kid back who's name is Jayden and he actually told tbem about it! We shared the message with his family of 6 and they all wanted Book of Mormons, it was so cool! So they'll be getting those next week from the missionaries in the area next door to us! We talked to a guy named Tommy near the end of the night about prayer then finished off with the mission devotional and all the departing missionaries testimonies.
Mon: Today we had a great district council and got Five Guys after which I haven't had in forever! Had a good afternoon then went to the Boohers for dinner! We taught Tommy from yesterday again, and he seemed to really like the restoration but then got sketched when we wanted to drop off a Book of Mormon and hung up, super sad, but there's a possibility his phone service dropped because his phone says disconnected when we call now, and we know the difference between that and being blocked so don't worry I'm not that oblivious lol. We taught a kid about the fall and the atonement and the reason for those over the phone and that was a cool experience! Then very last thing of the day we taught a guy named Anthony about faith and the Book of Mormon so that was sweet too, definitely a good day!
