Monday: this last Preparation day was lit, we did disc golfing and it was awesome! My comp and the DL threw a disc into a river, our DL went after his and the other was gone for good. but it was awesome! we also got to watch him fly RC planes around a field it was a sweet day!
Tuesday: Car fast! So we live in Downtown Sioux Falls and its always booming with tons of people! So street contacting it always super sweet. we walk on a trail next to the "big" Sioux river and all over downtown, talked to a lot of people, met a member who was visited out of state and he texted pics to our moms and got lunch from another member! We also got to reach a referral today and testify about the Book of Mormon to her! It was a super powerful lessons and I hope she wants to learn more.
Wednesday: We had our first official "District Council" with our brand new DL, is was a sweet council and everyone gave there input and it made it really spiritual and a great learning experience The rest of our night was street contacting, we started talking to a group of drunk people and he told us how we gotta be the best of the best and in order to be the best of the best we got to be the best of the best of the best and he repeated himself for about 5 mins. So I plan on being the best of the best of the best!
Thursday: We taught our progressing person Todd, he is ready to be baptized! He just wont come to church! He is ready but thats the only thing holding him back. we did some more street contacting and had dinner with a member of the Stake Presidency who owns half of Sioux Falls so he had a sweet house!
Friday: Weekly Planning... Our day was pretty slow but good, got somethings done, taught a returning member and had our team up bail on us because he was tossing cookies, so we tease him he'd rather cook than do missionary work with us lol (yes I know what tossing cookies means)
Saturday: So we got a call that we needed to go to Minnesota and help with the Mormons helping hands or the people in yellow shirts, it was super awesome and I was super excited! I got my own helping hands shirt and got to clean up a bunch of flood damage from the recent storms! It was tons of fun but we had to leave early due to the member who drove us:( I am grateful I was able to help out and represent the church, tons were grateful and so was I.
Sunday: So my greenie comp got to talk in church and he did a good job, the member sitting next to me decided we wanted to make him laugh while on the stand and we were successful! Today was rough, all 4 people that were suppose to be at church fell though and it was hard. We had a dinner appointment with a sweet family that hadn't feed the missionaries for a while. We showed up and they slammed us, and told us we would only earn there and the wards trust if we worked our butts off and found and taught people and showed the ward we are dedicated missionaries. After they said that, they said they would be more than happy to feed us again! Hard work pays off and member trust is critical for being people unto the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Well I hope everyone had a awesome week!
