This last week has been a good one! Interviews are this week on Friday. Yes we find out about transfers this week on Saturday. The weather has been cold and then warm and rainy and then sunny. We don’t have that many plans today. Just emailing and probably play tennis and we are having dinner tonight. Then seeing the catholic family and 2 less actives. We didn't invite them to baptism yet. It’s complicated. I like Huntsville because there is alot more things to do here. One thing I don’t like here is the biking. But I’m trying to like the biking more. I liked the country feel of Wetumpka more though. My favorite thing I ate this last week was hamburgers and steak, they were so good. We have a washer/dryer in our apartment. They’re very old. The favorite thing that happened this week was I got to play bball with some of the Elders Quorum on Wednesday night. The worst thing that happened was last night. We were at a dinner appointment and their last name was Callahan. I said the prayer at the end and said Cunningham. They forgave me. Me and Elder Matthews had a good laugh about that. Here’s my week. THAT’S MATTHEW IN DADS PICTURE. HOLY COW!!!! I KNOW HIM! Love the pictures. Hey guess what my camera broke this week. The screen broke. It fell out of my coat pocket and the screen is now broke. I have 3 pics and that’s it. So idk what to do. Tell Sister Underwood I miss her!
MONDAY- we emailed and then we went and had lunch at Sam’s club and then we went and played one game of pool and then we went home and went to our dinner appointment. They had pizza and they had family home evening with us and then we went over to the catholic families home and let’s just say that we had a bad night there. It’s complicated. So we went home and that was the day. It was a hard day for us.
TUESDAY- We got up and we went to Zaxbys and Elder Matthews bought me a meal. I thanked him and we started talking about our Trek experiences. We went to the store and got some things and then we went home for a bit. We went and tried to see this person Audrey but she wasn't home so we went to see this less active Sister Wells. We went and helped her put groceries in her house and then we had a long talk. She liked to talk about her family and stuff. She told us her life story. Then after a long time we went home and we were gonna go to dinner but the appointment cancelled on us so we had dinner at home and then we went on teamups. I went and saw this guy Stan. It was my first time that I had to drop an investigator. He wasn't keeping commitments. So we had the best lesson with him and dropped him. We will still go see him here and then but not that often. Then we tried to see some other less active but they weren't home so that was the day.
WEDNESDAY- We tried to see this guy Byron but he wasn’t home so we went and had comp study and then we went to chick fil a for lunch and then tried to see some people but they weren’t home. So we went tracting and we had no luck on that. So we had dinner and then we tried to go see the Chapman family. It’s a family of 3 and the daughters interested. And they were home but the mom was leaving to go somewhere so we left and then we went and saw the Jennifer family. This is the worst experience on my mission so far. So I was walking up to the door and there’s a door and a screen door. The main door was open and as I was about to ring the doorbell I looked inside and there’s a bathroom across the hallway and the mom was blow drying her hair naked! So I ran off the steps making sure she didn’t see me and I told Elder Matthews what I saw and he started laughing. It was pretty funny afterwards. We walked up and down the street for about 20 min and then went and knocked and we had a good 2 min talk with them. They were leaving but they said we could come back!!!! But oh my gosh out of anything on my mission I just happen to see an investigator naked. Ughh. Then after that we went to the church with the ZLS because since Elder Matthews is a district leader he had to interview the zls investigator. While he was doing that I played bball with the Elders Quorum then we went home. I had soo much fun!
THURSDAY- We had comp study in the morning and then we went to chick fil a for lunch and then we went back home for weekly planning and then we went and tried to see Audrey but she wasn't home again so we went tracting for 2 hours and had no luck again. People just aren’t receptive. Then we went and saw Breanna and then we went home and had dinner and then we tried to go see the Jennifer family but they weren't home so we went and tried to see the Chapmans but they weren’t home so we ended the night with coordination with our ward mission leader. Then we ended the night.
FRIDAY- For the first time this transfer we had a district meeting. The meeting went well, but nobody really listened. I gave a white handbook training. And then after the meeting we went to chick fil a and then we went home and had comp study and then we went and tried to see Audrey again and she wasn’t home so we tried to see a few more people but nothing. We tried tracting but that didn’t work so we went home and had a dinner appointment with these people the Biggs. They had steak. I gave the spiritual thought and then we left and when we got home Elder Matthews showed me how I could improve my spiritual thoughts. He didn’t do it mean, he just showed me a few ways. Then we ended the night.
SATURDAY-Today we went and saw this less active Brother Bove. He’s crazy! He had both me and Elder Matthews confused. Then we went to lunch, I had Arbys and Elder Matthews had Taco bell. We talked about our sisters and family. His sister does tumbling and she’s 9. She does it very well. I told him about Ash also. Then we tried to go see this guy Kaddu but he wasn’t home so we went and tried to see a few others but they weren't home so we went talked with a less active family and then we went home to go to another dinner appointment. We went to the Jennifer family's home and 2 of the kids were playing bball. Marcus and Elena. So we decided to play with them and then we went home for the night.
SUNDAY- today we went to church and we found out that our mission leader was getting released so we have a new mission leader in our ward. Then we went through church and it was long. Then we went home and talked and then went to a dinner appointment at the CALLAHANS. They were very cool. You may or may not have gotten a text from them. And that’s when I said the wrong name in the prayer. For dinner we had chicken nachos. They were soo good. Then we went home and went and saw the Jennifer family for a bit. They were watching the walking dead. So we talked for a bit and then we went home for the day.
MONDAY- We are emailing and then probably playing tennis and having lunch and then going to a dinner appointment and then to see the Jennifer family.
Obedience is what we have in this life. It’s just like following the rules of a basketball game. You need to know the rules in order to succeed.
.
No I haven’t really seen any prejudice.
Zone training is the zls training us. Zone conference is when President comes to the whole Huntsville zone and talks to us.
No I don’t teach more. I’m trying to get out of the scared state and be bold, because I know this stuff. We just got to know our strengths and weaknesses. It’s still hard here for missionary work.
We get a ride to the church, it’s too far away for bikes. We have zone training on Wednesday and Friday we have interviews and Saturday we are helping someone move.
I’m going to try my best at things. My testimony has grown. I’m not as scared as I was but I’m still scared of some things.
Ok LOVE YOU FOREVER MOM!!!
Remember you won’t be able to hear what happens for transfers on Saturday night. You’ll have to wait until Monday.
Elder Webb
