So this past week has been an ok week. We had to move out of our apartment on Tuesday by 12 so we were packing and cleaning all Monday it was crazy and then Tuesday morning we were moving out at 9 and we thought that we could handle it by ourselves with just the senior couple from the mission office, but man were we wrong it took like 3 hours to move everything so it was like 11:30. We had district meeting scheduled for 12 so I called the zone leaders who were with the assistants and they came and helped us unpack our stuff at our new place and the other elders in our district were there so it got unpacked in like 30 mins so that was great, but the thing about our new apartment is the landlord was replacing everything so everything is new and he has known since the beginning of May that we had to be in there by June 30 at 12 and he still didn't finish it all. There is nothing in the kitchen like nothing no counter tops or appliances or cabinets nothing so that was a little frustrating bc he has had 2 months to get it done and he still hasn't!
We had district meeting and it was really good then we exchanged with the other elders and I was with an elder who is brand new and it was fun we had a few appts that night, but man it was just a tiring day bc of the moving stuff and on top of that the trunk on our car wouldn't shut so it was just tied down with some rope for the whole day! Because our apartment is still not finished we had to stay with the zone leaders who were also on an exchange and man whenever you get 4 missionaries who are all on exchange in one apartment man we were in bed at 10:30 and lights off but man missionaries just like to talk and tell stories. I think ppl were talking while in bed till like 12 it was crazy but the next day we exchanged back and then we had some stuff to do and then we went to get our trunk fixed at the Toyota dealership and man we were there for 3 hours. Man it was long but they fixed it so that was good. The rest of the day nothing exciting happened we were still with the zone leaders that night!
On Thursday we had a good appt with one of our investigators so that was good and then we had a really good correlation meeting with our ward mission leader and the ward missionaries we basically got a referral form it so that was a great! On Friday we started our planing session but then got a call from a member who needed service so we went to help him out and we moved this huge wood pile like mabye a foot to the left of it! but it was good. It was fun then we were helping a family out who was out of town by letting their dog out to go to the bathroom every now and again and we went to do that after and we already smelt bad but that dog made it worse so we smelt like wet wood and dog it was not good so we drove all the way back to the zone leaders place to shower bc it was bad. That night we had some good contacts with some less actives in the ward it was a fun day. We also had a dinner with a part member family so that was good the non member husband has really warmed up to us so that is good!
Saturday was our full pday and we were working in the morning instead of the night and we went to let that dog out again and she had peed in her cage so we had to spray her off and her cage out so that took a while, but then we went to a chapel and we played basketball with some other missionaries form like 12:30 to 4 so that was alot of fun! Then we had a dinner with our ward misson leader and he had invited 3 other non member families over and that was great we had a lot of good interactions and we got to share a message with them all so that was good we were there till like 8:15 so that was fun. Then we went to a member of a different wards house with some missionaries and saw some fireworks and that was cool. It was a good day though it was a weird fourth of july, but it was a fun one never the less!
On sunday we had a great testimony meeting and then in priesthood we had a great lesson on the importance of family and it was way good! That evening we had dinner with a less active family who we eat with every week and man they like to talk. So they have 3 girls who are all 16 and older and after we finished eating the dad goes to the couch and all the girls stayed at the table. Man they just kept talking and talking and talking and I didn't want to cut them off, but it was a good dinner they are great ppl. They just need to start coming to church again! Then we ent to see a guy we see every week named brother stanitch so that was good! We are living 8 miles out of our area right now because the apartment is still not ready. Today isn't a full pday again bc the whole mission is going to a twins baseball game on Wednesday. So watch the game bc I am sure they will show us on tv. I mean a bunch of young ppl dressed up. They will put us on tv! It should be a good week this week .
well that is all till next week
love
