This week has been like a roller coaster!
Monday- Monday we did our normal P-Day stuff, we got up got ready, eat some breakfast and then did daily planning. We then went and emailed at the college and then went shopping. After we came back and went to the gym. We got a GYM membership to this gym that is walking distance from my apartment. After the gym we went and played sand volleyball and hung out in the apartment. We had dinner at Sonnys BBQ. Then we had a lesson with a gator.
Tuesday- Today we had District meeting and then we had a trade off. So Elder Christensen went to Pensacola and I stayed in Perdido. I had Elder Howelle as my companion and it was awesome! That guy is pretty funny! We did a lot of biking and we saw a few people. We taught some Less Active members which was really good! We then taught a non member and invited him to be baptized and he accepted it. So Tuesday was a pretty good day, BUT it was SOOOOO HOT!!!!
Wednesday- So today we were trading back off so I was getting Elder Christensen back but we didn't do that until later around 12. So in the morning we planned to go see a few people on the way to the trade off spot. So we went to go see this lady in this apartment complex. So we are walking up and there are all these little kids sitting by the stairs and so we walk up the stairs to go to the apartment and then all of a sudden you just hear the loudest noise ever! I cant describe the sound over email but the houses started to shake and we knew exactly what it was. So we run down stairs and look in the sky and all we see Is blue skies and then we look to the left and there is a BIG HUGE F-18 SUPERHORNET BLUE ANGEL JET flying 300 FEET ABOVE OUR HEADS!! I COULD SEE THE PILOT!!!! WAS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! Elder Christensen was so mad because he wasn't there to see it, it was so awesome!
Thursday & Friday- Not much happened in these two days just the normal visits and having some really good lessons with people.
Saturday- This morning we had to go teach a new investigator at 9 am. We show up to his house and he didn't answer so we called him and he ended up coming outside and we got to teach him. So we taught him the Restoration and the SPIRIT WAS SOOO STRONG! He loved it! We invited him to be baptized and he said he would have no other choice when he finds out that The Book of Mormon is true. So that was a really good way to start off our Saturday! We then gave a blessing to a member in the hospital and we taught a few other lessons. So overall it was a really good day! :) Saturday night after dinner we went to go try some people in our apartment complex and so we were told a storm was coming in but we didn't think it was coming in that fast. So we walk like 10 min to the other side of our apartment complex and we tried one person who just ignored us haha. So we keep walking and then we just see the biggest darkest cloud! So we are like oh its not raining yet we will be fine. 30 Seconds later BUCKETS AND BUCKETS of rain just falling on us! We were soo soaked! It was CRAZY and then we are taking pictures of how soaked we are and lightning strikes the ground it was even loader than the F-18 we got so scared! IT WAS SO CRAZY!
Sunday- We had an investigator come to church and it was awesome!!! We Taught some LAs and we taught someone and they are just a heavy smoker so after being in there for 25 min our clothes smelled like smoke. I wanted to throw up I felt so sick after. But we taught some lessons that day and had dinner with the scott family and it was really awesome! They are doing some really good Member missionary work! Its so helpful and awesome! Overall it was a great day and when I got home I just knocked out! :)
