Monday!
So today was a
normal P-day full of laundry, shopping and games. We had dinner with our bishop and as we were
eating I look out the window and I see all these wild turkeys, which is not
abnormal. It's completely normal to see
turkey and all kind of wildlife here but something funny I noticed was that there
were easily like 15 turkeys. There were
tons of them and out of all these turkeys there was only 1 guy among them all 😂 I don't know I just thought that was kind of
funny 😅
Tuesday!!
Today we just did the
normal stuff and nothing really too noteworthy happened 😅 like we went and saw a less active and his daughter
whose an investigator and we stopped by a few other less active/investigators
but nothing really too crazy.
Wednesday!!
So today we had
district meeting and I was kind of scared, I’m not going to lie, because we
hadn't gotten assignments for it so I was worried he was going to ask us to give
a discussion on the fly or something 😅
but we got there and we read preach my gospel and talked about different things
that can help us in our missionary work or us as missionaries.
After that we went to do some service for a
lady in our area. She needed some help
moving a coffee table that she had bought. So we got there and there was a glass top and
the table was separate. She decided that she wanted to move the table first and
then the glass second; we agreed and then her husband comes out and starts
moving the glass and it's about to fall out of the car so I reached out and
snagged it and decided that we would just move that now then 😅 so we start moving it and we are setting it
down and when we are about 2 inches off the ground he drops it... like out of
nowhere 😂 so it falls
and hits the ground and just shatters. So that was a bit awkward.
After that we moved
the table and stuff then took off and got changed and went and helped out a
less active member with some service that she needed done. We were there for a while then we had a dinner
appointment so we ran home, got changed and went to dinner. We had dinner with our ward mission leader. We had to eat dinner really quickly because we
had to get to a lesson we had with one of our investigators. We finished off the lessons and went over the baptismal
interview questions. Then we challenged
him to think and pray for a date that he would like to be baptized.
Thursday!
So today we did the
normal missionary stuff then we went to dinner with a super less active lady. We went to this pizza place that's pretty good
and we talked to them for a while and she brought up the fact that her daughter
isn't baptized yet and she is super open to that! So we are excited and we told them that we
would be willing to help them out with any service they need!!
After dinner we
were driving around and contacting people when we saw this pretty sweet area to
take some pictures, so we pull over for a second and we look at this cliff and
there is a super sweet sunset in the background. And as I'm looking at this amazing sunset my
foot slips with all the moss I was standing on and I legit fell off a cliff 😂 luckily I didn't get hurt too bad, just a few
scratches. But my favorite pants got
destroyed 😂 I busted a
huge hole up the side of one leg and then on the other leg I have a ton of
other tiny holes where rocks went through my pants 😅 so I’ve got to count my blessings that I wasn't
hurt too bad. Unfortunately we were able
to take any pictures there because I took a spill, so we headed back to the
house and I changed my pants and got cleaned up and went out for a little bit
because it was close to the end of the night anyway 😅
Friday!!
So today we were
getting ready to head out when we got a call from our ward mission leader and
he asked us what we had planned for the rest of the day... we had nothing 😅 so when he found that out he told us that our
investigator, Nate, needed some help with his house shingling again. Soooo we decided that the best thing for us to
do would be to help out Nate with his house. As we were talking to brother tanner (our ward
mission leader) he told us that he had gone by Nate’s house and had talked to
him for a while and had decided that he wants to be baptized on the 8th this
month!! We are so excited because that's
the date we had been thinking of but we wanted him to choose. So we were super happy with that!! So we ran home after we got off the phone and
got changed and helped Nate like all day until dinner. We to dinner then after dinner we went back to
help him out as much as we could!! It
was really awesome being able to help him and just talk to him all day. Really brings me back to before the mission when
I worked construction 😅
Saturday!!
So today was
conference!! Oh man there were some really awesome talks and I can't wait till
they are posted on lds.org or the gospel library and I can go over them again!!
Because it's one thing to listen to them but it's another to read them. I feel
like when I read them I'm really able to dig into it and take out a whole lot. After the sessions of conference we had time
to run home and eat really quick before we went to priesthood session. I really enjoyed the talk Elder Bednar gave
about missionary work (go figure 😂)
After priesthood we went to DQ for some ice cream as tradition dictates 😂 and we set some things up with Nate to help him
some more on Monday. So I'm pretty
excited for that!!
Sunday!!
So today was the
last day for conference and it starts out that I lost the phone 😅 so basically I'm an idiot 😅 so we listened to conference in our apartment
as we looked for the dang thing!! But we
heard some really awesome talks and there were definitely a few that were just
for our investigators. These guys
definitely inspired on what they need to talk about. I'm excited for when they have them all written
up and I can go back over them. About
halfway through the second session we realized that we left our phone at our
ward mission leader’s house. After that
session we run over there to get it and we talk for a while and he gives us some
names that he wants us to go see.
Once
we're done talking to him we run over to those people and check on them. One moved and the other is definitely there
but we just have to catch them when they are actually home 😅 after that we had dinner and at dinner the
daughter had some questions about how to share the plan of happiness with her
friend. It was pretty cool because we
started talking about it and then we started talking about sharing a video with
them and when we said it a video came to mind and it seemed to fit what she
needed perfectly. It was pretty sweet. So we showed her a few more videos that deal
with the same thing and they were able to think of someone every time that they
could share the videos with so I hope that they do that because I'm going to
check up on them!!
After dinner we checked on some other people and then we
decided to go check out this national park (there's like a million of them 😅). We
found a little river that flows into the flathead lake. Anyway so we had the
plan and idea to dam the river 😂 we did a
freaking good job of it too and we would have stayed out longer but we were
losing light fast so we decided to head home and hopefully we will be able to swing
by tomorrow 😅
