Hey peeps!
TLDR
This week has honestly felt buns!! 🍞 Like we had really good numbers but it felt like all of our lessons were falling through… We put our friend Loushanna on date, we dropped James cause he wasn’t progressing, Kat (the BOM burner) has been sick so we plan to meet with her this next week… 🥹
Tuesday
P-day!! Started out by going to the temple and doing an endowment session! I got to see my GOAT, Elder Willardson 😛, so that so nice to see him again and see how he’s doing! Then, some random member took us out to lunch at a Chinese buffet place?!? And it was only like $15 too!! Veryy good deal if you ask me! Then, we went to the church and played some volleyball!! 🏐 Then some card games… Then we went back home, I got to call the fam (and a very special guest 👀) and do laundry! We then had dinner and made some calls! We also met with this lady named Loushanna (we thought she was drunk when we first called her, she seemed fine when we met with her though!) We then ran some calls! ☎️
Wednesday
Lots of knocking! We had a few lessons – a few pass-offs but they were unfortunately canceled… we went by Nathan who was doing really well! We watched a Holland talk with him (Motions of a Hidden Fire 🔥), which hit home since Holland talked about the passing of his wife, and Nathan’s wife had passed away recently. We then ran some calls with Nathan… we had dinner at Salsa Verde (Big Carne Asada burrito, Sis Barfield paid for us!!) 🌯 We then helped Brother Dunn give the Yokoms a blessing, as Brother Yokom was undergoing a heart surgery! ✨️
Thursday
Lots of knocking – again! We also put Loushanna on date, so that was SO awesome! She was actually the one who asked too! “Can I get baptized?” YES LOUSHANNA YOU CAN! 🌊😁 We then taught this guy named Max (who was very introspective and philosophical).. he said that the only reason he let us come visit is cause he’s gonna convert us back to the true religion. He also said our church is of the devil. Aka he’s not interested. 😭😭 It unfortunately started thunderstorming, so we stayed inside and ran some calls… ⛈️📞 then we had the Maxfields for dinner, who gave us some orange chicken! 🟧🍗 Fun fact – I learned that they were sealed by President Monson when he was an apostle!! 🤯 We then headed to volleyball, but unfortunately none of our friends came! So we went back home and made more calls…
Friday
Veryyy long morning! We had apartment inspections with the Maxfield’s, then my last in-field mentor training! Then, we p-studied, had lunch, and then went back out to work! We got bashed by this guy who said that our religion was “blasphemous.” 😤 We knocked a lot, to not much success unfortunately… we visited Brenda and Mike at a Halloween party! 🎃 We then had dinner with the Hanna’s at Olive Garden, which got me soooo full! 🍝 We had a lesson with this guy named Sam who seemed pretty interested in the “restored gospel!” 😁 We also dropped James since he wasnt progressing like at all… 😕
Saturday
Kind of a meh day… We started out going by Lori, who immediately dropped us and said she was fine in her own church… 😡 We were planning to have a lesson with her so that kind of screwed our morning… But then we went knocking instead… 🚪 I called my family during lunch since it was my dad’s birthday, so that was super nice! 🥳 We played soccer with these African kids and I got my butt kicked! ⚽️ Like literally, one of them kicked the ball through my legs and scored on me… 😅 I’ll be deleting that video… I also helped one of them tie their shoes! I hope my wife is able to teach my kids how to tie shoes cause he did not understand when I tried to teach him… 😭 We went by Nathan and talked with him about our personal lives, so that was nice! We also ran some calls with him! We then had Escarcega for dinner, and that was LIT!! 🤪👻 (As always…) He made tostadas for dinner along with some chocolate cake!! It was so fun (Roberts and Hale were there too!) We did get back a tad bit late tho… 🌃
Sunday
Nathan came to church!! 🙏😫 thank the Lord! He also sat at the very very front and started like waving his arms around during the hymns… we also had a friend who’s from China (her name is Audrey) who came to church and really wants to come again! 🥰😇 Ok also little miracle – there was this guy I talked to a few days ago (he was getting out of his car), and I asked him if I could share a message about Jesus with him, he was like sorry but I gotta go take care of my mom, and so i pressed a little bit and said maybe another time? And he was like do you guys have a church and we could pull up? I was like yeah, could we get your number and send the address? And so we did… we thought like he was just pushing us off cause he didnt respond to our church invite, but then in the middle of sacrament, he texted us – “Hi im in the church” and I was like yooo what? 🤯 Apparently he primarily speaks spanish though, and so does his mom! So they went to the spanish session and apparently he wants to get his endowment?!?! (They talked about temples in sacrament) 🕍 And he’s hyped about baptism! So good for him! We then had kind of a chill rest of our day… dinner with the Leigh’s! 🍖🍲
Monday
Pretty good day!! We started off going by Sister Cindy West, a lady who is moving to Sierra Vista soon! 😪 She has been struggling with her knee and stomach, so we gave her a blessing! ✨️ We then got some McDonald’s and headed over to the church where we had district council all together!! After district council, we knocked around a little… we met with this guy named Peter Bond! His wife had passed away a year ago and was really struggling with that. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and he seemed much more at peace with that! 🌎☁️ His entire family are members and live in Texas, so they sent us his information for us to go visit him! After that, we met with this young couple named Jonathan and Bethany! Both very nice people, they had a baptist background so had some questions, but were open to reading the BOM! 📓🤩
Byeeee everyone!! See ya next week!
