Well this week we didn't seem to really accomplish
anything...
Monday was P-day and we actually had an
appointment with an investigator and we even had a priest to come with us but
when we got there no one answered the door! So we went tracting for a bit. Then
we got a text from a member we didn't know and he
wanted us to come and teach him so we went over and ends up that this guy is
crazy so that was what our night was. Then we went to the dollar store and
bought some grabbers and some bags and just picked up some garbage and tried to
contact people that way.
Tuesday we got some boiled eggs from the sister
missionaries, who got them from a member. Then we contacted people on the streets
and found a potential investigator. Then we had an appointment with a less-active member, but when we got there (and we had a member with us for
fellowship), they were just leaving and were one their way to Montreal, because
apparently that is where they are now going to live...we then picked up garbage
again for a while. Then we had dinner and had our other appointment with a recent
convert less active get cancelled. Then we contacted a few former investigators
and set up an appointment with one of them for the next day.
Wednesday I had my district meeting and then we
didn't have time for lunch so we rushed over to our appointment, only to have no
one answer the door. We then visited a member and got to know him, then we
trash picked again... then we had dinner and then our appointment that night
got cancelled again. Then we ended up helping our ward mission leader move a
new washer and dryer into his home from bishop's home.
Thursday we visited a few former's and got a hot
dog at Costco for lunch. Then we went and helped a member from another ward load
up a moving van and then got fed again. Then we drove out into the Boonies and
helped a member do some gardening but before that he fed us a
very large meal. Then we were there the rest of the day and that was probably
the highlight of my week.
Friday we delivered some bread and food from a
member to another member's home and weekly planned and then we had lunch and
helped a lady clean up her place a bit. Then we did some online work and
then we went and contacted a few more former's and had a meal appointment with a member and had the most awkward lesson I have had on my entire mission
with their family. Then we had basketball night and the two people we have been
trying to work with didn't even show up and my assumption is because we invited
them to hear what we share with people and they have ignored us ever since!
Saturday we finished weekly planning, had lunch
and then we did stuff but I don't remember what. Later we did our online work
and then helped an older couple by filling up their water jugs. We then went
and mowed a sister's lawns for her house and her other house....then she took us out to eat at a restaurant named "Foody Goodie" which was good. We then stopped by a
few more former's that night, but no one was home.
Sunday we had a correlation meeting and
Sacrament meeting and gospel principles. Then we attended the combined fifth
Sunday meeting. We then had lunch, did our online work and not
too much else happened the rest of the day. Later we had dinner and then went to
a mission fireside and none of the people we invited to come with us came...
Today is P-day and everything is closed so we
haven't done anything all day except for playing volleyball for p-day Zone
activity, doing laundry and drinking Double Gulp's...
