This week was a better week. Elder M and I are doing better. We had a lot more fun with each other but finding people is a struggle. Nobody wants to listen to us. We are currently teaching a family of 10 and teaching a family of 3 who are very close to baptism. We are trying to see them a lot. Here’s my week:
MONDAY- After we emailed yall we went to play pool at an apartment complex with the zls. We got in for free. Then we went with members to this place called Rosie's and it was a Mexican place so I tried some bbq nachos. I didn't like them that much. Then we tried to go see this guy Byron but he wasn't home so we just went home.
TUESDAY- today we did the usual we went and tried to see Byron, Josh and Eric but they weren’t home. So we tracted for a bit but we got nobody to want anything to do with us so we went and had dinner over at a members house and then went on splits. I went with Brother Hearne and we went to see this guy Stan. We taught him and it went well. Then we tried to go see some less actives but they weren’t home. So we went back to the apartment at 9 and that was our day.
WEDNESDAY- today was zone conference. So it started at 930 and it ended at 4. The conference was long but I really liked the first part where President Sainsbury talked to us about not comparing. The Lord called you. Nobody else, He called you. I loved that. Then we had lunch which was hoagie sandwiches. I saw Elder Burgoyne there and Sister Beck, 2 people I came out with and some others from the Prattville zone about 2 transfers ago. Then after we went home and we had the priest splits. That was fun. We only had 3 priests and so Elder Matthews took 2 of them and I went with Hunter Biggs. We went and saw a less active family and I asked Hunter if he could just share a scripture. We talked with them and shared a message then we went back to the church and they took us home and we just ended the night.
THURSDAY- today we went to pizza hut in the morning. Then we went over to Breannas to see how they were doing and about 1 hour into it we had to leave because Michelle got angry at her ex and started cussing. So we went and tried to see Derick but he wasn’t home so we went to the Roots home (members) to see if they could come out with us on Saturday. Then we went to Chick Fil a to talk to Breanna about Michelle and then we went and tried to see one last family before we went home and they weren’t home so we went home and that was the day.
FRIDAY- The morning was rough because I needed to find out what to teach to this investigator Chris. So I decided to read Enos to him and talk about it. It went ok. Then we came home and then went out for the day. We went to try to see Byron and Josh but they weren’t home so we went to Sonic and had ice cream and then we were tracting a lot but nothing prevailed so we walked and walked until we went home and did comp study. Then we had dinner and then we went to see the Jennifer family and we spent the last 2 hours of our day there and then went home. They are the family of 10. They are a Catholic family.
SATURDAY- Today we went over to Walmart in the morning and on the way back I saw a UNIFIRST truck in the Ruby Tuesday parking lot. At first I thought it was dad. Lol but I didn’t talk to the guy I took a pic of the truck but I thought that was funny. Then we tracted most of the day but no luck again. So we went to dinner with some members to CiCis pizza. Then we went to the Jennifer family’s home to have a lesson and invite them to baptism with the Roots. But they weren’t home. So we went and saw Stan and talked with him a bit and then we went home for the night.
SUNDAY- Today we had no meeting in the morning so we went straight to church and the best part is one of our investigators came to church. So we sat by her and when the sacrament was being passed she asked me why do yall have water? I told her why and then sacrament meeting was over. After church we stayed at our apartment because we were going over to the Roots for dinner. The dinner was awesome. Some fried pork or something like that and we spent the rest of the night there because we were getting to know them more and they wanted to know more about us. Their little boy plays clash royal and he was telling me all about it. He wouldn't leave me alone. Lol.
MONDAY-Today we woke up and I showered and we came here and now we are emailing. I think we are going to go to lunch and then the mall and shopping later. One of the zls needs to go to the dry cleaners and also get pants. Tonight we are gonna go see some less actives. We have a dinner appointment tonight also. We have four dinner appts this week.
My favorite part of the week was probably zone conference. I got to see a lot of people I knew. Another good part was when we met with the Jennifer family. I got to know them better and they got to know me.
Tell Tyler I miss him too. I’m always thinking about him. Don’t worry dude only 17 more months. Enjoy my bed, the one I sleep on now is so small. Oh I remember doing Valentines boxed. I loved doing that.
I’m trying to be me. I’m back mom. Sometimes I can be down, but your positive boy is always here, even in spirit. I’m trying to get out of my scared state. I’m just scared if I’m gonna screw up on things but its part of the missionary life. I’m doing a lot better with teaching now. But I need to just speak up. President interviews are next week.
Wow yep I know Mathew Robinson from Wetumpka. He’s dating a Utah girl. I think he played basketball at uvu. Marcus is his little brother. I played basketball with him on Thursdays. I’m just so surprised that he’s working for Unifirst with Dad. THAT’S AWESOME THOUGH!! Tell Dad to take a picture with him.
I heard the Super Bowl was a good game, I saw the score. No surprise. Today is my 7 month mark but feels like I’m still in my 4th month mark. I don’t know how I feel about transfers coming up. I’m iffy but I’m taking it one day at a time.
OH MOM why were you so stressed about me? I am preparing for life. One of the missionaries who went home was like the mission is like an mtc for life.
IM STILL LAUGHING AT ANJ AND STEPHS BANJO VIDEO! LOL THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!
I LOVED THE NOTE CARDS AND I LOVED THE PACKAGE!
Elder Matthews gave me some of his consecrated oil. I just want another one in case the oil drains. I’m just thinking ahead, but I don’t need it now. Just remember on Easter or my next package to send consecrated oil. Its ok you forgot about the fry sauce. The shoe polish kit just makes the shoes look cleaner. I may just go buy some.
OH ASH. She scares me sometimes. It’s good she’s okay though!
LOVE YOU FOREVER MOM!!! STILL PRAYING FOR YOU AND WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
Elder Webb
