My week was great. A lot of service as you saw. Did you ever hear about the burger challenge me and Elder Steele did? Karen wants me to do it again and she'll pay if I don't finish. Lol. Anyways the house looks really nice.
So this week was a good one. We had a lot of stuff that went on this week. So here's the week. A lot of service. It felt great to do some service stuff. Also my Comps are debating what's cooler a Mantis Shrimp or a Honey Badger. Lol. It's so funny anyways.
TUESDAY- today we had district meeting up in Ensley and as soon as I walked in the door there were guys that just came up and gave me I think almost the longest hug I've had. Lol. They're getting pretty sad knowing I'll be here for 4 more weeks. Anyways we had the meeting and did some role plays and laughed with each other and at each other. Then we went to Taco Bell and had some lunch and then we went home and we did comp study and Elder Krupa did his Language study and then we went and tried to see a less active family but they weren't home so we tracted the area and we got rained on big time! We were drenched! Lol. And then we went to see some people on the way over to the Bakers and nobody was home so we went over and we had lasagna and salad. We then played Aggravation and it was Elder Steele and Krupa vs me and Phil. We destroyed them. Lol. Then we went home afterwards. Oh and also on Monday we found the actual board game Jumanji! Elder Steele got it and wow it's fun.
WEDNESDAY- today was a good day we went and saw this person Lea in the morning and we rode our bikes over there and then after we went home changed and went to the Mannings and did some service for them. I mowed their Lawn and Elder Krupa used the trimmer and Elder Steele helped move stuff around. They had a big Yard so we were there for awhile. Then after we got done with that we had dinner there Spaghetti and boy was it good. Then we gave a blessing to the Dad Frankie cause he might have had a pinched nerve in his back which caused some stuff to happen but we gave him some words of encouragement and then we had to go and we came home and we changed and went to book of Mormon Class and read Alma 47 & 48. I then decided I was gonna do My plan that night. Then Elder Krupa got a call from President saying that someone wanted him at her baptism on Friday. So yeah. Then we went home.
THURSDAY- Today was a Service kind of day. We were told to go to a address and help a guy cut some trees down and so we got there at 8am and ended at 4pm. But we never picked up a piece of tree at all. We painted the side of the house and put some wood up next to the Windows and I was scratched by a dog. Lol. We got Sunburnt big time then we went home and we all took showers and I looked at Elder Steeles neck and it was burnt so bad it was purple. I put my finger on it and wow it was burning my finger. Lol. So then we went and saw this guy Charlie and Read some of the book of Mormon with him and he understood it a lot and he seems to be liking the Book of Mormon. So we prayed with him then we went to the Church and we got out if the car and heard a hissing sound so we found out or tire was losing air quick and so we drove home really quick and we basically got home right before it was completely flat. Lol. Nice way to end the night. Lol.
FRIDAY- today we got up and we switched our tire out with the spare then we drove it over to Firestone and waited for about 3 hours cause they wanted to switch out 2 tired instead of 1 so they had to get things situated with our vehicle coordinator so then they finally got everything situated and then we went home and did Weekly planning and comp study and then we got food at a taco truck and then we went with this person Lynn to this Area Locast Fork and they dropped me and Elder Steele off with a greenie and Elder Krupa went with Elder Foster to the baptism in Birmingham. And so when they left we talked in the Church and then we played aggravation with him and then he had to talk to someone at the mission office and then we went to their house and wow it reminded me of my Grandpas cabin. Lol it was so cool. So then we went to bed and that was the day. We also gave advice to the greenie. His name is Elder Hicken and he's from Michigan.
SATURDAY- so today we got up and we made breakfast and it was a lot of food. Lol. So then at 11 we met them at the Church and then we went over to Jack's and had lunch and then we went home and we dropped off our stuff then we went to try and see Lea but she wasn't home. Plus it was 103 degrees that day. We then went tracting and we found a guy named Chris who served in the army and so we went and got in the car and we went home and did comp study and then we went to a birthday party at the Bakers and talked with people and joked around and has burgers and cake then we went and saw Charlie that night and then we were on our was home and we got a huge thunderstorm. One of the Lightning bolts was so bright it almost made up blind. Lol. Then we went to Wal-Mart then came home.
SUNDAY- HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! I LOVE MY DAD!!!! So today we had branch council and then we had sac meeting and Elder Steele was asked to speak about how the book of Mormon helps us honor our fathers. And in his talk he said this lol " I like to sometimes put myself in the scriptures or anyone's name like Steele or Toggaf( Faggot backwards). Me and Elder Krupa almost lost it. Lol. Nobody noticed except us. Lol. Elder Steele almost lost it too haha. Then we had a class and then we had a brunch for the men and we ate and we talked with a member and about some stuff. Then we went home and ate lunch and then we went and saw a less active then we went to see some other people and I had heat exhaustion and so we came home and I drank water and just took took it easy till about 6 then we tried to see some people but nobody was home so we went out to Oakman and tried to see someone and we almost got stuck lol. Then we went to the Church then we came home. Lol.
MONDAY- we got up and went to the store and did our laundry and were at the Church emailing. Sister Holly (Grandma Holly) gave us 30 dollars to get lunch today. Love her. Lol.
As missionaries in the Alabama mission every time we start our meetings we recite this (fun fact)
3rd Nephi 5:13
Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life. Our purpose is to help people come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the end. We are preach my Gospel and white handbook missionaries and we are Steadfast in Christ!
Ashlyn’s down at burraston ponds right now? Wow, that’s cool!
I have about 2 more district meetings. No more zone conferences.
I’ve been thinking about how much yall have changed. Like it’s gonna be different. Lol.
Tonight we will probably go visit some less actives plus tract.
Your friends son that is coming here will need short sleeves mainly. No Backpacks (unless you just keep it at the apartment for biking.) just sidebags like the one I have. If he wants when I get home I can give mine to him. President is pretty lax about stuff like that. Yeah I can talk to him when I get home. Make sure he knows about the Restoration, the Plan of salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ discussions. He needs to have a knowledge of those as well as the scriptures.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!
