Then Tuesday we watched elder wilkinson pack for a while and then we went and tried to contact on campus but it wasn't to successful, but then Elder Wilkinson had more stuff he had to pack and stuff he needed to send off so we did all of that. Then we went to dinner with these members and it was a good dinner. We eat with them once a week so it was good as it always is. They are super awesome they help us out a ton. Then we went to institute that night and it was good. The sister who teaches institute here does a great job they are always good lessons! The next morning at 9 the member who was taking Elder wilkinson to transfers for us so we could save miles. He picked him up and then me and elder hurst did some rearranging of the apt and cleaned up so because we were originally supposed to have 4 elders in the apt we had 4 twin beds, but now because there are two of us we have 2 twins each so basically we each have a king bed and it is fantastic to have. I will attach a picture, but I love it it is so comfortable! Then we took off to another area in our zone because we had to go trian this elder on how to be a district leader. We went out to lunch with them at a mexican place and it was good. Then we exchanged and I went with the elder who just became a district leader and it was good we talked and then we went out and worked for a bit and taught some people
so that was good! And then we headed back about 4:45 and got back at like 5:45 and then we got a call from a less active member who need help moving something so we went and did that and that took up our dinner time, but we had another appt at 7 and so we went to that and then we had basketball at 8 so we skipped dinner that day but basketball was great. More nonmembers are coming so that has been good to see we get good interaction with them and it is just good! It was a good day! And then a glorious sleep in a king size bed!
On thursday in the morning we had a bunch of calls to do. We have a mission conference this week and so we had to call all of our teams and we had to tell them all kinds of stuff about the conference.. Elder Martino of the 70 is coming so it should be a good one! Then we had more calls about stuff and we went to try some stop bys and a member brought us dinner and it was super good but they brought us a ton of food because they thought there was still 3 of us so we had a lot of food! Then we went to teach a guy who contacted us while we were in walmart one day named peter he is sundanese and it was a good lesson he doesn't understand english the greatest, but he commited to read so that was good and we got another appt with him for Sunday! (We will come back to him later), but the rest of that night we had another appt with a less active and he is just crazy he is bipolar so every time we go over it is a different story sometimes he is on with the church others not so much, but ya it is always an interesting visit. But yep it was a good day!
Friday was also a good day in the morning we had guess what? calls! As always and
then we went to help a member move and it was just us and him and his wife but it wasn't too bad they are a super cool family and then they fed us lunch it was good. It was raining so that made it a little rough, but it all worked out! Then we had to do weekly planning and it was alot of planning because we had to plan out the transfer of activities and stuff
so that was good then we had dinner with a family and they are a family who we are trying to help get to the temple. So they have cats and I look over at the kitchen and the cat is on the counter licking the ham we are about to eat so that was a little gross, but I think he cut that part out of it, but ya it was a good dinner none the less and then we had an appt with our investigator Roberto who has muscular dystrophy and he was in the hospital for two days he had a pretty bad health scare, but he made it through. It was a good lesson we read alma 34 with him and it went well he is going to be going down to rochester to get help from the doctors at the big mayo hospital there so that should be good because it is world renowned so that should be good for him! That ended our night!
Saturday was good too we had our usual breakfast and coordination meeting in the morning and it was sausage, gravy, and biscuits so that was really good! And then we went and played soccer like usual and it was good! Then we went home and showered and went to do serivce out in a town about 15 miles out for a less active family and it was good we unloaded a truck full of wood and moved shelves and stuff it was good then we came back and changed and went and tried to see some people and then had dinner with this single guy in the ward it was good he is a cool guy then we went to give a less active we are working with a blessing because he wasn't feeling well and that went well we visited with him for an hour and that was good.
Sunday was a good day it was a good day at church we didn't have anyone come, but it was still good. Then after Church we had more paperwork to do and we did all that and then had dinner at a member's house and it was good it was our first time over there, but it was good! Then we went to see Peter, the guy we taught earlier in the week, with our
ward mission leader and we were teaching the Restoration and it was going super well and right near the end of the lesson we asked him to go and get his Book of Mormon so we could mark something in it and he walks back out and he has a scripture case in his hand like a nice one and I thought man I hope he actually has a Book of Mormon in there and then he plops it on the ground and opens it and he has a Quad! What the heck and his name was engraved on it and so we asked him, "Peter, are you a member?" and he was like, "ya, I am a member" like it was no big deal and then he pulled out his old stake missionary name badge and that just confirmed it for us. It is crazy he didn't tell us he was member so it was crazy to find out, but the Lord led him to us for a reason so we
are requesting his records now. Then we went and tried to see some more people and got yelled at by a drunk old guy so ya. Then more stop bys and we then went to the church to collect every one's numbers and stuff. So ya we did that and then went home. It was a good week and it should be a good week this week with mission conference. So ya still loving it here hope all is well with everyone. Well till next week.
Love elder howe
