Week 31: Valentine Booth

Elder McMinn and Elder Hardy

This week we did another booth at Walmart which was way cool. We ended up handing out Hershey Kisses and pass-a-long cards. We probably stood out there for 3 hours handing them out. It was fun. We got a call from a less active member that we were working with saying she needed our help so we hopped on our bikes and rode to her house. We helped her out with some service in her yard and then read and discussed the Book of Mormon. That night we got a call from the other elders in our district saying that 15 minutes after we left, 4 waitresses from Hooters came outside and tried handing out coupons to them and recording them trying to get them to try and slip up and say something. Elder Hardy and I took it as a miracle that we didn't have to see that.

Look Mom, no hands...or feet!

This week was bike week. Bike week is usually the 3rd week of the transfer and it is where we are not allowed to us the mission vehicles and we can only bike, walk, or get rides from members. I always like this week because it is just another excuse to be on bikes.

Relaxing on P-day

Our investigator Todd came to church for the first time of the year so I got pumped. I was handing out the weekly bulletin at church and my back was facing the entrance when I heard someone yell "MCMINN" loud in the church so I turned around fast and I saw Todd! My first response was to say "Todd" and I think that I might have matched his volume but I was pumped to have him at church. In Gospel Principles class he learned something new about the church he didn't know and he told us "wow, this is another thing that I love about the Mormon church." Yes, Todd, there is a lot to love. It was a slow but fun week.
