Both holidays passed without much ado except on Valentine's day I got a lot of chocolate, which was fun. I took 64820 steps last week, which is about 24.55 miles.
The Short of Things:
The car broke on Monday and we didn't get it back until Thursday evening. We had a bunch of appointments that we couldn't make it to because it took us about an hour and a half to walk to each. So, we'd go to one appointment and they wouldn't be there and we'd be sad but we'd have to walk to our next appointment and then we'd go home. It made for very long and cold days.
The Long of Things:
Monday 10- Our car broke down... So we stayed the night with the North Elders. We had all our laundry and groceries with us so we couldn't walk home.
Tuesday 11- We taught Nicole a great lesson and she gave us a ride home. We put all our stuff away and cried at the 4 appointments we had to cancel. We tried to see someone but they weren't home.
Wednesday 12- We had a zone meeting in Palmer Park that we had to get rides to. We were unsure of whether we could actually get a ride there but we did. We talked about how conversion = Spirit + Book of Mormon. We walked over to pick up the car because they told us it would be ready but then it wasn't. So, we walked home, had dinner and went on splits. I went with the Nobles to see some people but nobody was home. Elder Betts had a much more successful split.
Thursday 13- We tried to see Sharalece (a referral) but she was sleeping, so we walked over to Hank's house and talked with him for a while. Then we finally went to go get our car (and it was ready). It was great to have it back. It felt so nice. We went to dinner at Sister Kerr's.
Friday 14- Valentine's day! We had weekly planning for a tiny bit and then we took the North Elders for a field trip. Elder Fletcher needs a new ID card but he needs his SS card to get it. So we went to do that but turns out that he needed an ID card to get his SS card to get his ID card... So we went to Cici's to get lunch instead. We did our media hour and tried to see some people but again, all were busy or not home. We had dinner with Sister Buboltz and ate soooo much. We were completely stuffed.
Saturday 15- We attended a baptism for the Warren ward. We were hoping Kate would come but last-minute, she cancelled. We saw Emilee and gave her a few pointers on giving talks. Then we contacted a bunch of referrals (with no success). We went teaching with Brother Myers and had some great success. We didn't teach any lessons but we got a lot of information.
Sunday 16- Emilee gave a great talk in Sacrament meeting. It was soooooper good! We had lunch with Nicole, Kate and Emilee and taught a very good lesson. We then proceeded to set a baptismal date for Kate of March 8th. Pray that she will be ready by then. Then we picked up the North Elders to give Kimmie a blessing. She gave us bananas foster cupcakes, which were delicious. Then we had coordination at the Burnette home.
All in all, good week.
-Elder Michael Carlson
