What's up
y'all?
Anyways,
I'm super excited for this upcoming week. The biggest news of this past week
was transfer calls! Elder Nalder will be transferred out, and Elder Bedwell and
I will be getting a new companion. We are both super-excited
and cannot wait to work with a new companion. I will remain as District Leader
for at least one more transfer.
But
anyways on Monday we didn't do too
much other than give the car back to Spring Hill elders, so that they
could use it for the week. We mostly played some basketball again with them and
then went over to have
dinner with an awesome TS2 family who gave us steak dinners, which was amazing.
Elder Bedwell working
on some of the yard
Tuesday we went to go do service at a member's
father's house. We worked on sawing off low hanging limbs and hedging,as well
as uprooting a bunch of bushes. They gave us pizza for lunch which was great. We
then had dinner at the home of the TS1 (Thompson’s Station 1st Ward)
family who used to live in Herndon which was cool. Their family is awesome as
is their over-energetic dog. After that I waited around for a possible exchange
which didn't exactly happen. But it was cool cause I got to join the young
men's and ask questions about what it's like being a father/husband.

Wednesday we had a good district meeting. I
had Sister Halbeisen train on knowledge, and then I
followed
that with effective studies. For lunch we had pizza... We then had a good
meeting with our recent convert
and had a great time talking with him about some of the things he has to look
forward to as a member of the Church. For dinner we went over to dinner at a
TS2 family's home whose kids go or went to BYU-I. It was fun talking with them
for a bit. In the evening I went on exchange with President Dennis, who is the
second counselor in the mission presidency. We were able to contact a lot of
people, which was great.
Thursday I had a hard time getting a long
with Elder Nalder most of the day, but we were able to get some work
done. We went to The Well with our recent convert who had some fun. We came
back for leftover pizza for lunch... After that we struck out a bunch minus
this one place where the lady gave us amazing Popsicles. We had an awesome breakfast
for dinner at a TS2 family and then we ended the night at the
church.
Friday we had weekly planning, which
didn't last as long as usual, which was good. We tried to visit a lot of
people, but struck out. Went back to the church and found out our dinner
cancelled, but they were kind enough to buy us two pizzas... We tried more
people but didn't really get anywhere.
It was a little frustrating. We
want to serve the Lord and teach.
Saturday we got transfer calls! But before
that we tried a lot of people, didn't really get anywhere, and then helped a
family move. After that we got transfer calls. Elder Danielson was made the new
Assistant to the President, and other than Nalder leaving, nothing else changed
in my district.
We had
dinner with a TS2 family where the mom is from Brazil. And then tried a bunch
of people and then called it a night. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that during
the move we had pizza. Again. We literally had pizza Tuesday through Saturday.
Accidentally. Yeah that was fun.
Sunday was mostly the same except
meetings. We also had a “Break-the-Fast” potluck meal after 2nd Ward. We had
dinner at the home of one of the counselors in the bishopric for TS1. Then
Nalder went off with a YSA to go contact other YSA's. So Bedwell and I went
contacting in the neighborhood and got to visit with two member families from
TS1. After that we called it a night.
I am
excited for the new transfer. Things should be awesome. Have a good week. Thanks for your prayers. We appreciate prayers a lot! Talk with y'all later.
