So this week has been a lot of fun!I hope everyone had a great halloween!
Monday- Monday was a lot of fun! I didn't have a lot of time to email though. We had interviews with president smith and Elder Southway and I are the ones who put that entire schedule together. So it was a long morning. We had about 15 missionaries at our building so we all played volleyball and board games and stuff. It was a lot of fun!
Tuesday- Happy Halloween!Today we had just a lot of errands to run! We made some cookies for some less active families and we took some cookies to a members home where we had dinner with them. It was fun we ate at the emertsons and we made our own pizzas. We couldn't stay super long that day because we had to drive from Alabama to Navarre Florida. So we finally got to Florida around 8:30pm. The awesome part about tonight was we got approval from our mission president to watch Moana! Y'all, I was so dang excited and happy about this! You don't even know how heavy that was weighing on me after I left. Like Moana came out a month after I left and I was so sad haha. But it was really cool because we had a missionary fireside a few days before. so we borrowed a Projector from a member and they were out of town still so we were able to use it to watch a movie. It was so cool we had it projected on our wall and there was about 6 missionaries just having a blast watching moana! haha So that was our Halloween! haha
Wednesday- Got up super early because we had to drive another hour to crest-view Florida to be at our meeting at 10am. MLC (Missionary Leadership Council) was awesome! ITS OFFICIAL we are getting SMARTPHONES in January! We are also going to be a Facebook mission now! So that it going to be cool! Other than that we talked a lot about being disciples of Jesus Christ and that was just so awesome! Then our meeting got done at like 4:30pm so then we had to drive all the way back home. So we got back home pretty late. But we were still able to go teach two of our investigators Adin and Lyla who are getting baptized next week! So we are super excited for them getting baptized!
Thursday- We had to go down to Fairhope to plan for an event that we wanted to do for #LightTheWorld that is coming up soon! So we were all around Fairhope talking to the city about putting on the event. So thursday just consisted of running around town all day hahha.
Friday- Today we did a lot of service for a member which was fun. Doug and Linda are so awesome! We then had a lesson with one of our investigators Dot! She is awesome! She wants to feed like alll the missionaries in our zone basically haha. After we had an awesome lesson with her we went to a few appointments and then went to a football game. Our investigator was there and we were trying to get to know some of the other kids to try to get them to come to our volleyball activity. It was kinda weird going to a high school football game. Its been forever since ive been to one haha. But football down here is a religion so everyone and their dog goes to the games haha.
Saturday- Just had our meeting with our ward mission leader. Then we went back home and did some weekly planning! Takes like 300000 hours to do. Okay only 3 hours but thats what it feels like haha. Then we had to go figure out my bank account because someone hacked into my mission credit card. So my account was shut down. I was finally able to pull some money out after 45min of talking to customer service haha. It was crazy! so now its just the waiting game for a new card. We also went and just went over all the things we want to do with Light the world initiative.
Sunday- Church was awesome! The testimonies that were shared were awesome! We also just had great classes! After church we went to The Benhams for lunch and she always cooks us such good food! We had a cool lesson with them! After we drove to our bishops house and talked with him about Light the world and getting the members involved. That was really awesome. Then later we went to an appointment with the Nimmers! Such a cool family! Had a great dinner with them and a really good spiritual lesson! After that we went and saw a member who wasnt feeling good and we just talked with them for a little. Then we went home and started doing some administrative things like putting all our zone numbers on the board just getting ready to report them for tomorrow. So that was our sunday!
Today- We went to the Battleship with the sisters! AKA The"A"! Sister Langi took us and we had a blast! she then took us out to lunch and a super good sea food place! She dropped us off back at the church and now im here emailing yall!
I hope everyone had a great week and an awesome Halloween! BIG NEWS: Our mission is now getting smartphones! And we are going to be a Facebook mission! So that is weird! haha We should be getting all this stuff this January! But I love yall I hope you all have a great week this week! I look forward to hearing from you all!
