Dang Good Week

This week was just fantastic. Tuesday we had a Mission Conference up in Bloomington and Elder Bruce A. Carlson of the Seventy was doing a training. It was super good. I learned a lot of things that I need to improve in order to become the most effective missionary I can be. 

Then on Wednesday we had our service at the Food Shelf because we were low on miles we road these loner bikes that the Mission Office gave us. Mine is not very good, but on top of that we had like a 10 pound box of supplies that we had to get to some elders. I had to hold it on the front of my bike and I looked really dumb because I was riding so slow and weird. Then we went on exchanges and that was good. I went out of our area again which was good. You always learn a lot on exchanges it is nice. 

Thursday we had an interview with President Forbes and we got to watch Meet the Mormons. It was super good. After that was the only bad part of the week we had this appointment with is guy who in our area book. He is listed as a super big bible basher. We get to the appointment and he wants to film it. I had a super bad feeling about it so I said no you are not filming us. He said OK. Then during the appointment I see that he is filming us. I had to pinch my hand so hard so that wouldn't yell at him. I was so mad that he filmed us anyways. It was just a waste of time because he was just trying to prove us wrong it was so aggravating, but it is all good now.

Friday night we went to the elders in the area next to us house and carved pumpkins with the family that they live with. That was super fun and then we ended up just staying the night there which was fun as well. Saturday was the best we helped clean then church and then we went to help a member move a TV and he fed us breakfast. It consisted of corn dogs, Sunkist, and candy such a nutritious breakfast. Then we raked some leaves. Then we had to go to the church and we had to stay and fill the font. We were there for 4 hours all the way up to the baptism. It was awesome! Harry got baptized and his two non member kids attended and that was super cool! 

Sunday he was confirmed and I got to be in the circle and that was awesome. The Spirit was super strong in the circle. That evening we went to get some info for his baptism record and he forgot his wife's birthday and there anniversary it was super funny. Then we were getting all his kids down and we thought he had 12 but he forgot he really has 14 it was super funny. 

This week was such a good week we had a lot of success and I hope that continues on to this week! Oh yeah one experience I for got to include a while back was when we knocked on our investigators door but he wasn't there, but this lady who lives there was and she was drunk and in the process of talking to her she turns to me and says 'what are you looking at dork' and she tried to kick me in the face, but was to short to reach me it was super funny.
till next week
