Week 56: Mondays in Weatherford

So on Mondays out here in Weatherford, we go over to a members house who we play board games with his kids and then have dinner over there. After we left their house we drove past a home here who had a Toyota Supra and a Nissan GT-R in the driveway so we went and knocked on his door. He was really cool but not too interested in hearing our message.

Tuesday we went to the city for interviews with our mission president. We focused a lot on the training of teaching to the needs of people and not making sure that we go through the lessons with them.

We spent the rest of the week going and visiting the people that we have been working with the past few weeks. Nothing too far that has been crazy but we have had some really good lessons. We were having a really good lesson with Mindy this week and we were halfway through the plan of salvation lesson and it was probably one of the best ones I have been in. Her husband calls from prison in the middle of the lesson and she has to leave to go see him asap. She was able to make it to church on Sunday and we are going over tomorrow to see her as well!

I actually kinda miss mowing lawns because it is really easy work and it is fun and relaxing. We had a service project for members of our ward who have both been really sick and we mowed their lawn for them and did a bunch of other yard work and it was fun. 

My week was good. We are still teaching all of the same people that we were before. We actually had something cool happen. We went to knock on the door of a referral from a member in our ward but it turns out that we had the absolutely wrong address. It all worked out though because the person that lives there is actually a member who hasn't come to church in a long time and wasn't on our records. After we left from visiting his place we saw these kids outside playing basketball so we went and played ball with them. Turns out that 2 of the kids that we were playing ball with were actually former investigators. Sadly, Spanish formers but President Mansell said that he is going to do something about the Spanish work in our area.

It's been another good week.
