1. So i just found out about transfers... yeah sooo I'm training for the 5th time yeah and I'm a district leader which doesn't mean too much. Now i have to teach an 1 and half hour lesson once a week.. yeah not looking forward to that! But it will be an adventure! but yeah if i don't finish it's cause i was looking at all my friends being transferred! And me just sitting in a stupor cause I'm stressed again.. its a big responsibility training and it doesn't get easier after the 5th time!
2. Donald! he was one of the sisters investigators but he got passed over to us. the sisters thought it would be a good idea and turns out it was cause they are both leaving!!! yeah for inspiration! but he's an old southern guy! i wish i could just record a lesson and send it cause he is a little off the rocker! but thats alright! he is still a good guy!
3. we were out with our appointment falling through and i was just like let's go see the lawrences so we drove over to see them. bro lawrence was super sick and in bed he had kidney stones!!!! Ouch!!! that's no fun he was so gratfeul we showed up and gave him a blessing at the right time! yeah for inspiration!!!
4. our ward is falling apart! one of the ladies fell on her face and broke her nose and has to get reconstructive surgery! so we gave her a blessing! also her husband was an investigator so turns out we can't teach him for a while since his wife is recovering... bummer
5. sarah parry is a recent convert of the sisters and she broke her toe! so we gave her a blessing! it was super cool because on sunday her mom told us that sarah had been super nervous going to the doctors but was fine afterwards! what a miracle!
6. we challenged brother colagrossi a recent priesthood holder to give back to school blessings to his kids! he was super nervous about it but he did it! and it turned out great! the spirit was so strong so in total we were a part of 11 blessings this week! so priesthood was in use! it's great always being able to access that power! and I'm grateful i had that guidance every year from my dad!
7. i had a trade off with elder whitney a missionary from milton! and murphy's law came into effect! yeah bad. funny story everything fell through it rained on us and my tire popped 3 times that day (6 times this week!!! what the heck is happening to my bike!) but it was so much fun regardless! Elder whitney is a great missionary and we are too alike so we laughed and laughed and laughed the whole time!! it was so much fun!
8. to keep me going through my murphy's week was this quote by Spencer w Kimball! "When we can't chose our circumstance the wise thing to do is to change our attitude about the circumstance! we cant change it might as well just change and get moving forward!
9. Phinly! pronounced (fin-lee) She was an adorable little girl at a lesson! we taught this family obedience and gave them all CTR rings to remember to chose the right. but the youngest we didn't want to give it to because she was 3 and i was afraid she would eat it but as we were getting ready to leave! she came up to me and said in her little 3 year old voice "can i have a wing pwease!" oh it was adorable her dad said we could so we did! i'm glad we weren't the bad guys!
10. sister smith the aunt of phinly and her other 3 sisters was giving them advice all night! and she is the funniest lady i have ever meet!!! she told them " boys are dirty until your 30" and " when life gets too hard just quit" haha don't worry she doesn't teach that to everyone she is just a comedian! if you knew my dad then you have someone to compare her too!
Love you guys and I'm excited for the adventures this next week! Pray for me!
