So no real pictures
were taken this week save one. I will send more when I can. Here's the only one
right now.
Me and my winter coat. As you
can see by the thermometer, it's a good thing I got it. And yes that's not a
legit smile.
What's up? This week
was kind of interesting. And a lot of things were going on.
Monday all we basically did was go down to
Columbia. The missionaries in Spring Hill had to go give someone a blessing. It
was kind of depressing, but important, because it was for a person who was
dying. After lunch went to their church and played various activities. In the
evening we went to go have dinner with a TS1 family. They were kind, and it was
a great time.
Tuesday we walked over to a less active's
home and checked on their elderly parents. Their dogs were really happy to see
us because it was kind of hard for them to get attention. After that we walked
over to the library
to return the wifi hotspot that we had borrowed. While we were over there we
tried a few people and went tracting, but we didn't have any luck. In the
evening we went on two exchanges where one of us went with
one member and the other one with another. It worked out okay but neither
exchange had much success.
Whoever wasn't going on exchange was helping me get contacts from our old phone
to our new phone. In
the evening I got sick which wasn't fun.
Wednesday was stressful. We were supposed to
get to Franklin, but we were without a ride. The car was in the body shop but
was supposed to be done by that point. Around noon, Spring Hill elders were
notified it was
ready, so they drove it up here, we drove them back, and then we continued on
up to Franklin for interviews at 4:30 p.m.. The district meeting/interviews
went over pretty well. I had Elder Loveless train on daily contact and then I
trained on diligence. I used the Battle of Franklin story as my background for
the story with the idea of "Don't get caught sleeping on the battlefield
cause you might just lose the war."
During my
interview with President Andersen, he asked me a couple questions about how I'm
doing and other things. I got my answer about going up to Eldorado. He told me
to pray about it and that it was my decision. I was also unable to determine
based on that interview whether or not I'll be transferred this next transfer.
So that'll be interesting.
Thursday Elder Bedwell and I went on
exchange with Elder Porter in Spring Hill while Elder Powell went up to
Franklin. We essentially did a ton of contacting and tracting and found a few
new people which is always good.
One of the new people that we met was a
police officer, who was trying to find a better life. We invited him out to a
Bible Study and we hope to see him next week. I also went on exchange with a member to
try some people but without much luck. Hopefully things will be better next
time.
Friday we switched back and after doing
some weekly planning, I got sick. This has been my sickest two transfers which stink.
Hopefully things will get better.
Saturday was fun but no one answered to us.
We got a call to go help some less active's plant some trees which was
fun. After that we had dinner with the second counselor in he bishopric for TS1
and had amazing chicken and rice tacos. It was sweet. After that we tried one of
our investigators, but instead met his wife and had a great conversation with
her about her dogs. They were super nice and wanted us to come back next week.
Sunday was a blur for the most part. We
had Ward Council both wards. During second Ward the less actives we helped out
came to church. We were happy to see them and I gave them a tour of the church.
The son wasn't too thrilled about church; he mainly came to show his appreciation
for the help. I guess we will just keep helping then! In the evening after a dinner
with TS2 members, we called it.
This
Saturday we find out transfer info. I don't know what's going to happen, but
President tipped we are probably going to be there. I'm excited for something
new, but sad to be losing one of
these guys
or both. We'll see what happens.
Talk to you
next week.
Elder Peery
