So this week was an ok week. Monday was just a usual pday we went shopping and emailed and then we went home and my other two companions played a board game while I did some other stuff. I took a nap. Kind of just a slow day but it was good. Then we went to campus and we walked around contacting people for a good hour that was the first time we had done that so it was good. We had a little success so it was good hopefully we can get there more because that isn't a place where this area has had a ton of success in the past so I want to get over there more than we do currently!
Then Tuesday we had our district meeting and it was a good one and then we went to Arby's for district lunch and because we have 3 elders we are able to drive the sisters places so we drove them, but I forgot my wallet so we went back home so I could grab
it and I left my ipad in the car when we went to do that. The sisters got my ipad and took pictures and a video I will send them, but I learned my lesson not to leave my ipad lying around when they are around. Ya then we did some stop bys and a member took us out to dinner and then we had institute and it was way good there was an older couple who were subbing for the day and the lesson was all on the premortal Christ and preearth life and it was super good. I learned a ton of stuff. Man it was great, mind blowing!
Then we get to Wednesday where our 2 day trip around a part of the zone starts, but ya so that morning we went and we were going to another district's district meeting on the way we picked up one of their teams who doesn't have a car and took them. Then we went to the meeting and it was a good. One of the district leaders there is brand new so it was a good meeting for him and it is a missionary I know very well so it was good to be at his meeting. Then we went on an exchange with some elders and I went with the one who is brand new this transfer. they are spanish missionaries, but we went and we did alot of stop bys and had a dinner with their members which was good this lady was a convert of 6 months and was made the relief society president so that was cool to hear. Then we did some tracting and had a good interview together it was a good time I love doing exchanges.
Then in the morning we played basketball with them and that was fun and then we went to go to another area we were exchanging with, but on the way we stopped at these
outlets because there is a CLEARANCE Nike store so there is all kinds of nike shoes and stuff all at marked down prices. My comp got a pair of shoes and a pack of socks for a total of $34 so that is a great store. Then we went to the other elders area and started our exchange and it was good I had a good exchange with the Elder i went with. We did
alot of stop bys and it was a good exchanging I had never really met him before so it was good to get to know him, but it was a good day. We were out of the area for two days!
So finally Friday morning we get back to our area and we have some calls we had to do and some other paperwork to fill out and finish up. And then we went to help a member
move a freezer and moving the freezer was easy, but he was trying to back into his driveway in his van and there was too much weight in the back so he hit his exhaust pipe on the driveway and bent it into the tire. He was able to get into his driveway so we got the freezer out no problem, but then spent the next 2 hours eating lunch and fixing his car. We ended up tieing a rope around his pipe and we all 3 just pulled it straight and got it all fixed so that was good! Then we went home
and showered and got ready to go out again and we did some more paperwork and then went to dinner with a widow in the ward and she was super nice she was actually baptized in St. David, Arizona so that was cool, but we helped her clean up and do her dishes because she wasn't feeling super great so we did that and then we went and met with a less active who is coming back and it was a good visit. While we were there he invited his brother to take the lessons and he accepted so that is great we will start to teach him now and that is good! So it was a good day.
Then saturday we went to our coordination meeting and breakfast and it was good I have a funny video of our wml to send home, but then we went and played soccer like we always do and it was fun we have had more people lately it is a good fellowshipping for all the people that come! Then we went to help a lady move and aw man it was a tough move we moved all her stuff out of a storage unit outside of
town into a trailer, some trucks, our car, and another car then we drove into town and moved all her stuff into her apartment and it was a hot humid day so I was sweating a ton it was about total a 4 hour move so that was fun. It was good though and then we had dinner and we had a lesson with our investigator Roberto and it was a great lesson he told us he had a dream and God told him he has no more excuses not to come to church and that he needs to love his "wife" more. Hopefuly that will lead him to actually marry her so he can get baptized eventually! It was a great lesson, fantastic. Then we went and stopped by a less active lady and got in with her and had a great lesson with her as well it was a good night!
Then sunday was a good day we went to church and Roberto and his wife came so that was great it was awesome to see him and his wife there! It was great! Then we had good classes and after church we had a break the fast with the YSA and we shared a message with them and that went well and then we had more calls to make and stuff and then dinner and then we went out and saw a less active lady we see every Sunday and had a good visit with her and saw an older couple who come when they can because of his health issues, but they were super nice and it was a good visit! Then we did some more
stop bys and there was a sweet lightning storm going on west of us we could see. So I got a video of that and then we had to go to the church to collect all the numbers for the week from all the districts so ya it was a good week this week. Today we are going to the
Renaissance Festival not sure what it will be like, but both of my companions wanted to
go so I have to go. We will see I just still am grateful to be out here and love doing what I am doing hope all is well have a great week.
Till next time
Love
Elder Howe
