FAMILY!!FAMILY!!FAMILY!!!
Hey everyone!! Hows everything going in AZ and abroad? Everything is going well for me for sure. We had the best week since I have been up here!! So we are stoked about that. We hope to finish off this last week of the transfer strong before transfers come and most likely break us up.
Mon-just p-day we didn't do anything fun cuz we are in Montrose haha and they don't even hae places to go shopping for ties or anything. Then we had dinner at the Zenefskis and they fed us Chicken Speedies too! They were good! Then we went home and tracted for the evening, and it was FREEZING!!
Tue- we had district meeting in the morning and it was in Susquehanna for the first time which was cool. It is a cool little town. After district meeting I stayed and went on exchange with Elder Mills, and he is a great guy. He was in the National Guard and was about to go to Iraq and then got permission to come on a mission. He used to jump out of planes and helicopters. Crazy guy.
Wed- Tracted in the morning and then drove to Hallstead to exchange back, and we got to eat at this good pizza place called Tedeschi's. I think one of the trademarks of every town in this mission is that it has a good pizza place.
Thur- We did service in the morning which went well at the historical society. But this was the day that both Elder Argyle and I had a bit of a sick bug, he has been sick all week. We went to dinner at the Buffington's house. After dinner we went on exchange and found some really good potential investigators for sure!!
Fri-We had weekly planning in the morning...then we did lots of walking and tracting. Then we had a lesson with the Jordans and that was our day.
Sat-We did lots of walking again, and it was 65 degrees! I had a short sleeve shirt on and I was still sweaty- I guess my body has some adjusting to do with the weather. Then we went and saw the Babcocks who called us and told us they wanna meet with us. (Elder Argyle found them a while ago and they told them they would call us if they wanted to talk). So we went and talked to them and they read alot of the Book of Mormon which is super cool. We are excited to go back and talk to them and teach them more. Then that night we saw Irish and had a good lesson with him! He also had a lady over there that he wanted us to teach. Kinda crazy that a nonmember gives us more referrals than our members do. She was a cool lady so I hope we can teach her more.
Sun-A great day!!! Donna C. came to church and loved it. She is getting baptized on March 28th. I taught Gospel Principles class and it went well. After church we went on exchanges and saw a bunch of people. We are really trying to work with our members to get them more involved.
I'm super happy cuz daylight savings started again so now it doesn't get dark till like 8 which is amazing.
Sweet is the work!!! And great is the glory!!
Love
