Week 35

This week has been all over the place.

Monday we went to do service for a member whose floor caved in on itself. Also, Monday was the Bahamas Independence Day so there were a lot of basketball games and activities going on! We spent the whole day at the members home mixing cement and hauling it into her house to fix the hole. I had to mix cement with my hands! Pictures soon follow!

Tuesday was our P-Day due to the holiday on Monday.

Wednesday we had district meeting in the morning. Then we had our whole day fall through... So we spent most of the day tracting... Not the most fun thing todo but also kind of fun because we get to show people that we are willing to spend two years of our lives in the service of our God and those around us. Had a lesson with Germaine which where we read 3 Nephi 11 with him. He noticed how Christ called others to be Apostles. He committed to come to church but never answered his phone..

Thursday, again, most of our day fell through because we couldn't get a church brother to go with us to the lessons. Spent a lot of the day tracting again but oh well. Missionary work must go on!

Friday was weekly planning! Elder Greenwade and I get to sit across from each other and just roast each other on things we need to work on! Haha just kidding...Kinda... We spent a lot of time running around because appointments kept falling through! We helped one of the Church sister set up for a birthday party at the church then had to run and help the other elders take home members from their last appointment for that night so they could get home on time.

Saturday I went on a trade off with Elder Dylan Christensen, my trainer! Man it was so fun to be with him again! The trade off was a really weird on though because Elder Mitchell Christensen and Elder Greenwade's car over heated. The water pump went out in the car so we had to drive them around as well as get to our appointments. It poured rain almost all day so there wasn't any contacting for us but Elder Christensen and I were able to go see Sandra! We talked about the Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity. It was a really good lesson too. She is still on date for this Saturday, hopefully, because she is still nervous about making that step! But she is more than ready!

Sunday we were fed by Paulette! She is our investigator and she is just awesome! We hope she is starting to see the importance of the Priesthood. She has been to church for 3 weeks and she loves coming! She loves the members and how fun it is and also how spiritual it is! She is awesome! Went and had dinner at the Bazile's home and talked about how small Downey is😂 Elder Greenwade describes a small town as a town with 6,000 people in it. Then I'm like, try growing up in a SMALL town with only 600 people in it that are all getting ready to give up the Ghost!😂😂  I wouldn't trade growing up in Downey for anywhere else though!

Well, that's all for the week! Hope every one is still reading their Book of Mormon and throwing questions at it! It will answer all of them! I know it will. Stay strong with the Spirit and listen to his counsel. I love you all!
