Tuesday we had District Meeting and it went well and then we had lunch and we made these things called masubis. It is a Samoan dish. It is seaweed wrapped rice and spam fired in soy sauce. It is really good. Ya we made it for us and the sisters. I have some videos to send of that. Ya it was good. Then we went and tried to see some people and we went tracting, but none answered. Then we had an appt with our investigator Stephanie on campus at the Student Union and it went well. She has some real potential. She really opened up this time I have high hopes for her our teaching pool has some really good potential right now I feel we should have some baptisms soon! Then we went around campus and tried to contact people. Then we had dinner with a family in the ward the Cosper family, I do not know if there is any relation to mom at all, but they are from Utah. They are a super cool family. It was good to eat with them. That was the first time and it was great! After them we went back to campus to go to Institute and it was super good as it always is! Then after that we had an apt with a less active man who is crazy. So that was an interesting appt he has a lot of weird ideas, but any who it was good day spent pretty much all on campus so that was good!
On Wednesday in the morning we went and had to put some reports together for our Stake meeting and then we took off to do an exchange in New Prague and so we drove down there and they were on bikes this week so I went around with the Elder I was with on bikes. So I biked around all of that town and it was not bad. It is pretty flat especially compared to here! but ya it was good. Then that evening we had to call into our Stake meeting which was a little frustrating because they kinda forgot we were there and so we didn't get a lot of time to talk about what we wanted to talk about, but next time it will be better. We will Skype in so they will see our faces and it will be better! Any ways after that we went and ate dinner at Subway and then we went to the church with them and we taught a family there who is all recent converts and that was good. I know that family well it hit me how long I have been in this Stake because I know everyone in that branch and I have never even served there so ya I have been in this Stake for a little bit! but it was good!
The next day we went to that team's district meeting and it was OK. Some elders were super late, but it still went well and after that we went on exchanges with the elders in the town called Fairbualt and it was good. I had been on an exchange with this elder a couple of times so we get along, but it went well. They have a good Ward they serve in! The members there are super awesome and really help those elders out! Then the next morning we had a bunch of calls and that was good. During our calls with the sisters another team from a different zone called us and said there was a guy in the sisters part of our ward who wants to get baptized on Nov 7 so that was a cool miracle they will have a baptism now. He sounds solid it is super sudden so we will see how that goes but that was cool miracle! Then we headed home finally and my comp wasn't feeling too well so we slept for a bit and then we did our weekly planning and then we went out and saw some people and had an appt with a less active man and it went ok with him he has lock jaw so that was no good. He is not really progressing right now. We are trying, but he does not have a huge desire to move forward. It was a good day!
On Saturday we went to our coordination meeting up in a city called St Peter just north of us at our WML's house and so that worked out. It was a good meeting and then we went to change and we went to a widow's house and we did some service for her and we helped her get her yard ready for winter chopping stuff down so it will regrow next year and stuff like that! It was good. Then we went to the church to do some paper work and we set up all the chairs in the over flow for church on Sunday and then we went out and did a ton of stop bys with not a ton of success, but we saw a few people. Then we had dinner at a YSA's house and he made us biscuits and gravy and that was super good! because I love biscuits and gravy and it was super good. Then he went with us to an appt with one of our investigators and it was an OK lesson we watched a talk form conference and he is doing the same as usual. Then we went to Peter's again and he is doing good we talked about the Book of Mormon and we got his birthday so we could get his records and so that is good!
On Sunday we had church and it was good no one came, but it was good Sunday lots of good lessons and it was the primary program so that was good. After church there was a baptism for an 8 year old in the ward and we went to that and it was super good as baptisms usually are. This kid's parent aren't members, but his grandma is so it is cool he is getting baptized. Then we went and ate lunch and we had an appt with an older lady we meet with every Sunday afternoon and it was good I don't know why she doesn't come to church we are trying so we will see how it goes! Then we had dinner with the Craguns, Brother Jensen's sister, and it was good they are a good family. It is always good to have dinner there. Then we went and did some more stop bys and we went and saw Peter again because he said that he needed help with something and so we helped him learn English. and then we went and collected numbers at the church and then went home and went to bed.
Today we found out about transfers and nothing is changing for me which is surprising. My comp goes home in Dec so this is his last transfer so we will see how it all goes, but another transfer has come and gone and it is going by quickly I have less than a year left now. It will be an interesting next 10 months. well that is all till next time hope everybody has a great week.
love
Elder Howe
