Hey Y'all!
This
past week was busy as always and it seems as if the more time I spend
in the mission field the faster the time goes. It was very hectic but on
the lack of time I'll give you a shorter version of my week.
On
Tuesday we went on exchanges in Lanett, Alabama and I was with Elder
Wells for the day! The area in Lanettt has been slower than it has in
the past and I was determined to put some work in for that area! We
started out by walking to this street called 2nd Ave and lets just say
its not the "cleanest" nor best neighborhood in the world. We literally
talked to everyone we could and so many people were outside enjoying the
weather and whatnot. We taught 10 other lessons found some
investigators that have been lost because of the lack of recording in
the Area Book for that area and you could say it was a very spirit
guided day. I mean everyday should be a spirit guided day, but this day
was evident by the results we had.
On
Wednesday, we drove to Columbus and had District meeting there where we
talked about the principle of obedience and it was a very cool training
and very powerful! After District meeting we saw a few less actives and
met with some of our investigators. We had dinner with the Alstons who
are AMAZING and they are moving to Hawaii for an Army base up there so
we are sad to see them go. Brother Alston had a hilarious comment when
we asked" How long have y'all been married?" "She started out by saying"
About 2 years" and Brother Alston to his wife..."Bruh its been like 3
years" Hahaha it was just one of those moments you had to be there for.
We also had an ice cream night with Ft Bennings branch President, and
boy it was good!
On Thursday, we had a pretty
fun day! We went out to a farm where we unpackaged bread again and
unpackaged more than we ever had before a whopping 10 tons!! It was
incredible! We laso were able to clean out a pigs head and get it
prepared for the smoker. The pictures dont do it justice of how bloody
it was haha! But we helped them out with that and had a great time!
Later that night we had an awesome experience for me cause any day where
you play basketball out here is a good day and here in Columbus we have
basketball nights like we had back in Colorado and it made me so happy
to be able to play a full 5-on-5 game again! There was a good amount of
nonmembers there and it made for a good night of fellowship.
On
Friday, we had a day of planning and we also explored on our bikes this
place called Cooper Creek park. It would definitely be a place where
I'd take a date hahah! But there was tons of frogs and turtles and swans
and the sunset was pretty it was pretty great!We also had a scary
experience when we were riding our bikes home, it was pretty dark and we
were almost home when we were trying to cross the street to go into the
gas station to make it shorter and safer, Elder Haines signaled and
went, but there was a car that sped up and he put himself in a really
awkward and difficult place for me. But I said to myself its better to
be patient and stay where I'm at opposed to jumping out like I did when I
broke my arm, so I waited he honked and I went. It worked out but I had
flashbacks of when I broke my arm. Also people here don't give bike
riders much space so when you ride you've got to be careful and stay on
that white line.
On Saturday, Kristina and Dad
you would've loved this place but we went to a horse ranch where we did
service for a member in Pine Mountain. We were moving logs to a pile in a
pasture of horses. It was very pretty and it was pretty crazy of how
horses love you! So Kristy and Dad I kind of got the cowboy spirit in me
from that. I never would think I would say this but Horses are
pretty...cool and cute. hahah Later that day we had dinner with a body
builder and you could guess I picked his brains! We also watched the
Testaments with some investigators and the spirit at the end of the
movie really was so strong!!
On Sunday we had a
full day of scheduled people to go see and we taught many lessons, had
church, and continued to preach the gospel!!
Michelle HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Y'all are awesome and I LOVE YOU!!
