Monday
We started the day with shopping. We had to get a lot of food this week because no one really fed us this week. After we did that, we met up with the Spanish elders and drove to the stake center for emailing and playing sports. We played volleyball and basketball. I also chatted with a lot of people using my phone to do emailing. After we then drove back to the James Street building and drove our car to get Subway. Then we drove from that to the institute for some games, pool, table tennis, and things like that. However, around 4ish they kicked us out to close the pit for the day. So, we went back to the church and did some more emailing. After, we then went to MOD for dinner with Bellingham Bay. After dinner, we went and met a referral named Gladys. She's a nice old lady but she wasn't really interested. However, her grandson was referred to us as well, so we decided to go by another day and see Tyrone. After that, we went to the church and did some area book work. Then we went to the zone leaders’ apartment and exchanged for the next day.
Tuesday
I spent the day with Elder Stanworth. We started the day by going to see people, but no one was home, and some of the people we planned for didn't live at the homes we went to. So, we just went to the church, and I Facebook messaged some less active members in the ward. I also planned out the rest of the day. Then we went home, had lunch, and did comp study. After, we went and saw more people. We were going to have a lesson with Hugh, but he wasn't feeling good, so we went and saw more people. I made mistakes in planning once again with members being in the same home, and it took out that chunk of our day, so we went back to the church, did our device audits, and then exchanged back. Then Elder Rich and I went to dinner, had a good time there, and then went back to the church to do more area book work.
Wednesday
We had district meeting. Elder Rich instructed on working with members. After, we had lunch at Panda Express with the rest of the district. Then from there, we came home and did comp study. After, we went to the church and Elder Rich and Elder Redd practiced the song for a Facebook post that Elder Rich wants to post. Then we went and saw people for the day. Later that night we had dinner, and then we saw more people. We ended the night with area book work.
Thursday
We started with going to the food bank and helping them for the day. After, we had lunch at Taco Bell. Then we had comp study. After, we went and printed off things at the church. Then we went and saw people. No one was home, so we went to church several times to do area book work. We were going to have a lesson with Sister Oldham, but she was not home. So, we did more work. At 5:30 we had dinner. Then we went and had a lesson with Tyrone. He's great, and he’s interested, but we have to pass him off to YSA because he is 20! We ended the day with more area book work.
Friday
Started the day who is going to the food bank again and helping there. Then we went home and had lunch. Then we drove off to have a lesson with Cai. It went well. He told us his disorders and what school he was going to. He goes to a special needs school. We taught him about the Book of Mormon, and what it was. He enjoyed it all. He also played for us the John Cena theme song on his recorder through his nose. That was kind of funny! After, we went home, did some comp study, and then went to the church to do weekly planning and a meet with the zone leaders to receive some MLC stuff. After, we then went and had dinner with Bellingham Bay. After dinner for the rest of the night, we went and did area book work.
Saturday
We started with going to the church and doing some area book work, as well as some Facebook things. Then we came home, had lunch, and did our comp study. After, we went and saw a couple less actives close by that the ward wanted us to go check up on. Some of the people were not home, and others didn't live at those places any more. From seeing those people, we then drove up to the stake center for a baptism that the YSA sisters had. Her name was Charlotte, and she seemed really cool. I got to see Jacob Meeker, my old ward mission leader from the ward, and Xalla (sounds like shalla) from the Laural Ward. I had a good talk with both of them. After the baptism, we went to Boulevard Park. Some of you may remember the pics I sent from 2 years ago of this place. I spent my first p-day there. Anyway, we went there to have a lesson with Avery and her family. We taught them about the gospel of Jesus Christ for the new member lessons. After, we drove back to the church and picked up Bellingham Bay to go to our dinner with the Shupes. We had a great time there with the other missionaries. After that, we went and had our meeting with Brother Jones, and that ended our night.
Sunday
We had ward council in the morning. We got to show everyone how to
pull up the progress record on their phones. After the meeting, we had church.
Then we came home. We took a nap for our 30 minutes of lunch that we didn't get
to have because it was fast Sunday. Then we went into our studies. After our studies,
we went to the church, did some area book work, and then went to Sudden Valley
for dinner. After dinner, we spent some time in Sudden Valley seeing some
people. We didn't stay for long because Elder Rich wanted to save miles, so we
came back to the church and did more area book work for the rest of the night.
Well, that's it for this week. Our plan today is to go to Boulevard
Park because it’s a cool place. But we'll only go if it’s sunny. It’s kind of
cloudy today. Anyway, hope you all have a great week, and I'll see you all on Sunday!!
For Mother’s Day!!!!! Last call home!!!!
