October 14, 2019 Painting the Corners

Hey yall so this past week was transfers!  I stayed in Sutherland and my new Comp E. Newell, things are so sweet!  So E. Billy got shipped off and I had to drive to Grand Island which is 3-4 hours east, drop off E. Billy and pick up E. Newell, then drive to McCook, which is the bottom of the stake, and do a baptism interview, we didn't get the paper work done until late that night so we did splits and stayed the night.  The next morning we drove back to Ogalalla and got Newell unpacked, it started to snow a little bit and it was 10 degrees.  we knocked doors in the freezing cold for about an hour then got the car and tried more people for 2 more hours.  We had a dinner/teaching appointment with a convert and that went well.  We headed off to Valentine for another baptism interview.  The interview was actually in Winner South Dakota so we left the stake.  The interview was good, we did splits again to use our time better.  We had a good time, we drove back to our area and the week was pretty much done.  We spent no time in our area which sucked but the time we did it was pretty sweet.  so we litterally hit every border of the zone this past week, drove a total of 13ish hours and over 800 miles.  The work of the Lord must go on!  Rip our cars miles but oh well!  Im pumped for this transfer, we are working on finding joy in the work, right now we have a comp goal on how to become more like Dwayne the Rock Johnson, we are rating our relationship status off of the movies he was in, right now we are at the game plan, good movie not his best but the good ones are fast and furious which is our goal.  A prophet once said if your not having fun as a missionary your doing something wrong, therefore you need to have fun while working and being obedient, the Gospel isnt here to constrain us from having fun but to point us to the REAL fun!  Well I hope yall have a wonderful week!
