We were very busy this week. I say that every week, but we seriously are on the run from 6:30 am to 9 pm everyday!
Tuesday we went to the city of Mobile for district meeting. We had a good meeting and had fun making calls to local officials to set us up for local events that are coming up. We went on an exchange with the Mobile elders. I went with Elder Curnutt. We came back to Daphne for the exchange. We did tons of talking to people all over town.
Wednesday we finished our exchange. We had a super great lesson about family history. We helped a great lady start her family tree and we had many great finds!
Thursday we had exchanges with the Assistants to the President, our supervisors. I went with Elder Johnson and we had a blast. We taught this lady and we asked her how she was doing and she said not good. So we asked her why? and She says... I GOT BRONCHITIS AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! Literally sounded like she was the one in the video! haha but we taught her the restoration and it was awesome! She really accepted the message!
Friday was a fun one as well. We sent the APs away back to Tallahassee. Elder southway and I reunited went to work. We got a lot of little things done and again talked to the good people of Daphne, Alabama. In the evening we had our ward's trunk or treat party. It was a ton of fun. There was a big turn out, good food and awesome costumes.
Saturday was the highlight of the week. Early in the morning Elder Southway and I went downtown to take part in the Turkey Trot 5K for Prodisee Pantry, a food shelter charity we help with here. It was 50 degrees and raining when we started but that gave for perfect running conditions for us. I was 71 overall with 28:30. Elder Southway was 91 overall with a 31:04! I took 2nd in my division and Elder southway took 1st in his! It was so cool! We were both tired afterword but still had a very productive rest of our day. My division was from ages 15-19 so it was hard racing against the track kids haha they are FAST! haha I won like 70 dollars worth of gift cards which was super awesome! Gonna go have some fun next P-day haha.
Sunday was a bit crazy. Church was very good. I spoke at church one sunday about Overcoming the World. President Smith also spoke to us, about the greatness of the Restorations and the blessings and fruits of it. The afternoon was nuts. We had a fireside that was falling apart before our eyes. We were on the road and on the phone making all the last minute arrangements. At show time we had a few technical difficulties. The fireside went great! We are so excited for this Christmas. #LighttheWorld is back and is going to be bigger than ever! Stay tuned for more details.
Today we had interviews with President Smith. I love him so so much! It was lots of fun today because half the zone was in town. Chair soccer, mafia, and tons and tons laughs!
I know this was short not much time! Love y'all!
