It's been a very cold week and it's supposed to only get colder. YAY! I took 29271 steps last week. Way down from the week before.
The Short of Things:
I guess I should probably explain the subject of the email here... We were driving to visit some people with Brother Myers and I was sitting in the back seat. He had some full pop cans laying on the floor. I noticed a few had exploded and got a bunch of coke-ice everywhere so I sat on the other side of the bench seat. We tried to see someone (not home) and then we hear a "POP!" I look over and another pop can had exploded. We had a laugh and then we hear a shotgun go off. It was super loud! I looked over and there was coke-ice all up the door and all over the window. It was crazy. And I was very glad I wasn't sitting on the other side.
The Long of Things:
Monday 20- We had a great P-day. Then we had FHE with the Bishop and Emilee. We watched Mormon Messages and ate homemade bread. That bread was so delicious. It had coconut oil in it so it was healthier but you couldn't taste it at all. It was just so fluffy and moist. My companion and I ate an entire loaf just by ourselves. It was that good.
Tuesday 21- I went to the doctor! Hooray! And they just told me stuff I knew and just generally made me sad inside. We saw Toni C. and had a great lesson with her. One thing she thought was really funny: She was asking why women don't get the Priesthood. I told her, "The Priesthood is to help other people, you can't do anything for yourself with it. Men need a lot of help doing things for others, women are already really good at helping other people." She thought that was great. We tried to see Sister Lock but she was busy. We visited the Pitts and it was crazy.
Wednesday 22- We did not have district meeting as we normally do on Wednesdays. Instead we saw Kate L. She has great questions but we taught her for longer than we should have. She's very interested though. Then we saw Emilee and visited for a bit. After that, splits night! I went with the Nobles to go see the Harrells, who are actually in the North area. He's from the south. He had on a Bulldogs hat on (that's for you Matt, I forget if you were allied to them or if they were your rivals...).
Thursday 23- We did weekly planning today. Hooray... Then we tried to contact a referral but his grandpa wasn't very nice to us. We had a ride to the devotional but then they cancelled last minute, so we tried to call some people about it, but everyone was busy. We knew Hank and his family was going, so we called them twice. No luck. We decided to go anyways and see what would happen. When we got there, they were just seconds from driving off but we caught them and they gave us a ride. It was awesome and the devotional was pretty great.
Friday 24- We had interviews with president for a super long time. Then we did our media hour. And we went out to eat with the district. That was pretty much our day...
Saturday 25- We attended a baptism for the North Elders. It was really good. Then we had dinner with Emilee and talked about magnifying her calling. We also gave her the book "The Power of Everyday Missionaries" to read. She loves it. Then we went visiting with Brother Myers. Nobody let us in but we did good work and had a lot fun too. Also, I had pop cans explode on me (see above story).
Sunday 26- Church was really good. The talks were all on prayer and they were good. Hank and Kate came to church along as Emilee's friends. She had a meeting after church with the Bishop to get her recommend to do baptisms for the dead. We passed off Rosa to the Sisters in Belle Isle. We'd never seen Rosa before and we'd have to have a male come with us to go in her house, so it was for the best.
All in all, it was a pretty good week. I love you all soooo much!
