Week 64

Hey guys!

Monday we didn't do much. Elder Markwalter had school stuff to do so we stayed at the church for that. That night we were supposed to see a referral but they cancelled so we went to the Seawell's to get Elder Markwalter's package.

Tuesday we had District Meeting, District Lunch over Google Hangouts then we went to go get Joshua Dean. We tried to see Samantha but she wasn't home when we stopped by so we went to stop by some members that Joshua hasn't seen in a while. For dinner we went to the Seawell's.

Wednesday morning I had an appointment for my knee and the appointment literally lasted about 5 minutes. I sat down and three seconds later he called me in. I sat on the table and bent my knee a couple times to check for pain. He then straightened my legs and made me lift his hand as he was pressing down on my leg. I did it twice for both legs, he stood up, shook my hand and said, "Have a nice day." I am now cleared for my knee. Wow... Anyways, after that short trip went home and had studies and everything then went to the post office. We had most of the day fall through except for or two evening appointments. Paedencia and Sister Youte. Paedencia can talk I tell you what!

Thursday morning we tried to go see Kevin but he wasn't home so we checked a few other members in the area but they weren't home either. Took lunch then we tried to go see more members but ended up not happening. Oh well, so it goes sometimes. We also went to the Cherenfant's for dinner and we played some card games with their little kids.

Friday was Weekly Planning. After lunch we went to go see Brother Thomas in his house boat. He is taking care of an older couple and he also works for them so they are letting him stay in one of their boats. It's pretty nice too. Older but nice. We talked about the Book of Mormon and how he can start to become more knowledgeable in it and about Church History. It was fun! Later we tried to go see sister you because she could'nt see us the day before. We talked about a Book of Mormon reading chart for her and her children hoping that they use it to get back to church as well as read the Book of Mormon.

Saturday was spent at Sister Saintgill's house doing a service project. We had to fill in a hole in her kicthen that was about 8ft wide, 4ft long, and 3ft deep. It was supposed to be an Elders Quorum project but no one showed up so we went to get some church brothers that lived close by and we started filling it in for her. After we filled it in with rock and dirt she fed us lunch as we waited for a lady that she knows to do the cement over the rock and dirt. We took the two boys home then came back to help out again. The lady took about 2 hours to get there... Anyways we started mixing the cement and everything and started hauling it in. We finished the project around 7. There are two Less-Active boys that live in the same house and they helped us out too. We invited them both to church the next day too and one said he was coming!

Sunday we had about 10 Less-Actives come to church and half of them came because of the project that we did! After church we went to the Ferdinand's for lunch then took Brother Ferdinand to go find an Inactive lady. It took us a little bit to find her but we did. After we took Brother Ferdinand home we went to go see Wencie and her family. Half of them weren't home though. We then went to Sister Youte's house because she told us she was gonna cook dinner for us but she got home late so there was no food... Oh well!

I have really noticed how serving our fellow members in our States, Districts, Wards, or Branches can really help those that are Less-Active and Inactive. They see our love for them in the labor that we put in for them. I can truly testify of that! Show your love those that aren't active in the church and you just might see them the following Sunday!

Love you all!
