This week was fun! We had a lot of success with meeting with people, so it was a super good week for us. On Tuesday it was Elder Williams birthday. We went and visited with Brother Cusic for a little while, and then we had a lesson with A-. After that we made our way back up to the church for a lesson with Brother Spoltore. It went really well. I was able to share about 2 Nephi 32 with him, and how much we can learn from such a short chapter. We had dinner with the Sutherlands after that. Brother Sutherland made some amazing steak and pork. It was super good!! After that we went and visited with A- to end Elder Williams birthday.
Wednesday we had a lesson with Scott. He's doing well, and we're excited to go to the temple for baptisms with him this month! After that we went with Brother Heath to visit Sue. We shared from 2 Nephi about opposition in all things, and how we learn from trials. Then we did Stake coordination stuff with Brother Heath. It took a while, but we got it done. We had dinner with the Nichols. They're awesome! Their daughter Ciara was there from California. We had a lesson with J- after that, but it got cut short because of all the crazy rain and tornado warnings... We got called inside around 7:30 and were stuck there the rest of the night. Lame.
Thursday was fun. Elder Gipson was about ready to tear off his companion’s heads so he asked to come on exchange with me. We had a really good day together. We dropped by Ashley’s for a few minutes to check her Book of Mormon reading, then we tried to check on a few less actives. We had dinner with the Barbones. Elder Gipson loved them! Then we met with Adam for a sec and played basketball after. I had a crazy night at basketball. I made 3 two pointers, and 2 one pointers in one game. We play to 11 so I had most of the points. We play by ones, so the 1 pointers are normal shots, and the 2 pointers are really 3 pointers. It was awesome. After that we went to see the Chamberlains because Elder Gipson loves them!
Friday we had zone conference. A lot of the trainings were on the Book of Mormon. It was really cool. President Cooke talked on patience again. Then he also talked on following up, and how important it is for us to follow up with our members, and investigators and everyone we meet. It was really good for me - a good reminder to be better about that. After zone conference Elder Williams and I went to help Brother Cusic with some yard work and making a bonfire for his sons birthday the next day. After that we went to the Hales to practice our sign language with M- for the baptism the next day. He got a headache after 1 run through, so we shared a quick spiritual thought and then let him rest. A- fed us dinner that night. Chicken cordon blue! It was super good! She got a new camera that is like a Polaroid, so we had some fun with that.
Saturday was a really good day. Elder Summit and I went to basketball because Elder Williams and Elder Talbot wanted to sleep in. We had a really good time. Not as good as Thursday night, but still. Then we came home and I changed into my suit. Elder Williams and I went to the church to practice the sign language for the song Gethsemane for the baptism. Then we helped set up and clean the church a bit too. The baptism was really good. M- ended up not wanting to sign it with us so Elder Williams and I did it ourselves--which was fine. It went well. Then we went to Brother Cusic’s for his sons birthday. It was a good time, and we got to set up some exchanges with a few of the ward members who were there, so it was a really good place to be! After that we had a dinner appointment. Then, because we were in the area and had a few minutes we went to visit the Chamberlains for a bit.
Sunday was good. We had the lesson dad wanted me to read in priesthood and it was really helpful for the part we were there. We also ran lots of errands and stuff. Then we came home and I did some planning for the week to come. Sister Vance dropped off some food to us! So awesome! Elder Summit and Talbot and Williams and I went to the Chamberlains for dinner. It was really fun, and I think we're getting some slow and steady progress out of our visits which is all I can hope for! I love the Chamberlains so much.
Anyway, we’re in the car right now on our way to zone activity. Should be fun. I can't believe February is already over!! I love you guys have a good week!!!
