August 6, 2018 Omaha and viruses...

SO this week has been really fast and weird at the same time.  

It all started on Tuesday:

So Monday we ate something nasty and we woke up feeling super sick and it sucked so the mission nurse told us to take a day to recover.  we spent the whole day laying in bed and yeah it sucked.  

Wednesday: Today we had District Council and it was good, super spiritual and got us excited, the rest of the day was the usual missionary day

Thursday: So today flew by, we ended up driving to Omaha for a trainer/trainee we spent the night in Rockbrook, with 4 other Elders, we raided the apartment and I found a sweet fly shooter and some other useful stuff that they didn't want or probably know about so that was sweet!

Friday:  We had our trainer/trainee meeting and it was sweet!  we got trained on how to effectively plan and how to best help our "green" missionaries how to become "seasoned" missionaries!  It was sweet, we got lunch and then after all the meetings, we went to the Kanesville Tabernacle and got a tour of the historical site.  afterwards, President Ence took us all out for Icecream and showed us a table where President Nelson and President/Sister Gardner sat for about 2-3 hours!  I got to sit in that seat.  It was sweet We drove home that night and I didn't get home until about 8:45 PM and the other Elders I drove down didn't get home for another 2 hours.  It was a super busy day, but it was good.  

Saturday: Today we spent most of our day weekly planning and catching up from all the days that we missed, we got to do some service for our Bishop which was sweet to give us a break from planning.  We did some role plays over the phone with the ASL sisters to help us teach our ASL people better and it was really good.  we were able to contact a couple people and have a good night.  

Sunday: So we broke a record for the most people at church, or at least in the past 6 months, we had 3 people come to church!  it was awesome!  It was a pain in the butt but it was so worth it.  We also had President Kearl (in mission presidency) come to our ward today, he drove like 4 hours and it was awesome, he interviewed us and we talked about the people we were teaching and he gave us his advice on how to best meet there needs.  He also brought his huge Ipad Pro and showed me pics of his cars on the front row of the chapel during priesthood opening exercises, it was great.  Im so grateful he took his own time and gas to drive up to Sioux Falls and help us out.  

Well hope everyone has a great week!
