Week 15: Staying in Moore!

Mountain Biking on P-day

My week has been really stellar!! It started of with the mountain biking with Tim who is in my ward and used to race mountain bikes. I loved it! So I got transfer doctrine this morning on the trail and I found out that I am staying in Moore!!!! My companion is going to be an elder who was in my MTC district.

Kyle is loving the trails.

On Tuesday we had Greenie Graduation. That is where we role play the first three lessons we teach and then combine the word of wisdom, law of chastity, and polygamy(which is talked about more than I thought would be). 

We have had a lot of opportunities to go finding and it has been a lot of fun because you run into some of the coolest people around and everyone is down to talk but it is hard to get people interested because they already have their faith. The rest of the week we have been just running around trying to keep our heads straight. Friday we had one of the most incredible lessons we have ever taught with our investigator named Rady. We taught her about the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost that you receive after you are baptized and that is something that she really desires in her life but her husband keeps holding her back and doesn't want her to join. I am trying to work with him because he loves fishing so I am trying to get a member to come fishing on a Monday hopefully to get a friend in the church. 

We had a little tornado scare on Saturday. So all we have to listen to is a little weather radio that is in our bedroom and we happen to be home at that time and our alarm goes off.... Turns out there was a tornado warning right in our area. Not 30 seconds later we get a text from our ward mission leader saying, "I'm coming to get you." Turns out there was a potential for a tornado to less than a mile from where we live. By the time we got to our ward mission leaders home, the tornado swell moved direction away from us. That was a super fun experience!! It has been such a great week.
