Week 87 Temple Trip

Hello everyone! It’s been a long week. We went to the temple today, that's why I didn't email yesterday. Anyway, here's my week. 

Monday

We started with emailing home. Then we went to the grocery outlet and bought our food. After, we drove to the stake center in Ferndale, and President and Sister Wilding were there and had a p-day with us. We played basketball, volleyball, and spike ball with them. They also brought lunch and ice cream for after. Shala from the Laurel Ward was there as well. We had a great time with the whole zone. After, we drove back home and got changed. Then we went to go see people for the rest of the night.

Tuesday

We visited a lot of people and had dinner and lunch in today. No lessons.

Wednesday

We had district meeting. Elder Brown was with us while Elder Maldwin went to the departing temple trip with Elder Redd. Elder Redd went to Marysville and did work with Elder Krues while Elder Tolsly went with Elder Maldwin to the temple with all the other departing missionaries. At district meeting, Elder Brown instructed on personal revelation and how to receive it. After, we had lunch as a district. Then we had comp study. After, we went and saw all the widows and single members in the ward that we could, since we had 3 of us that day. Around 5, we got back with the other elders and went to Boomers. Then we went back to our area and did some more work until the day was over.

Thursday

We started the day with going to see some potential investigators in the farthest, highest part of our area. Not a lot of people were home. Then we came home, had lunch, and did comp study. Then we drove all the way down to Everett for a checkup appointment with my doctor. It was a long drive, and it was the longest drive I've ever done in my life. Everything is going great! After the appointment, we drove all the way back to Bellingham and had dinner with some members. Then we went and saw some people for the rest of the night.

Friday

We started the day with doing some weekly planning. Then we had lunch and comp study. After, we then went and saw some people for the day. We had lessons with Lailoni, Joey, and others. We taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ. Later that night, we had dinner with the Jones family. Then we went around and visited some more people. 

Saturday

We had tons of lessons. One was with Chris. We taught him about revelation and showed him President Nelson's talk on revelation. We also had a lesson with a less active named Brad Nebeker. We talked about how he can receive an answer to his prayers. We also had lessons with Nikki and Avery and taught them the plan of salvation. We had dinner with Justin Lon and his family. Then we went with Sister Chumley and visited a less active in the ward that was not doing so well. She has cancer.

Sunday

We went to ward council and church. After the whole service, we came home, planned for the day, and then we went and read scriptures with Holland. After, we went around to go see people. Later that night, we had dinner at the Shencks. Then we went with Brother Shenck and saw some people before the night was over.

Yesterday

We spent our day seeing people while everyone else had their p-day. It was a really long day. We started with helping someone in the ward move some things around in her house. Then we went and saw some people. After, we had lunch at Coconut Kenny’s with Elder Milner's grandma's friend. Then we came home and had comp study. Then we went out and saw more people. We went to have a lesson with Nate, but he had to cancel, something came up. So, we drove down to Sudden Balley and had dinner with the Bairds. After, we came home and saw Justin Lon so Elder Milner could say goodbye. I forgot to say he is getting transferred tomorrow. 

Today

We went to the temple early in the morning. We did one endowment session and some initiatories. We had lunch in the temple as well, and we just got back from there.

So ya that's my week. Sorry I didn't write much. I couldn't remember much from this last week. I hope you all have a great week, and I'll see you soon.
