Monday we had a lesson with
Vince who is a returning member that has come to Daphne to live with his
parents so he can come back to Church and turn his life around. He is super
awesome, and we had a great time with him, and we are helping him prepare to get
the Melchizedek Priesthood right now. We also had a lesson with our
Investigator Veronica. We went through The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and she was
so solid with it, she gave perfect answers and got it down. we went over to
Bellingrath Gardens over in the Mobile area with the Missionaries over there.
Our Investigator Ms. Dot bought us all Tickets to go and enjoy the garden. It
is a massive garden place that was covered in Christmas Lights, and that was a
lot of fun.
Tuesday we went to Atmore and
went to District Meeting. We then went on Exchanges with The Monroe Elders.
They are in a trio, but with how things fell I got to go with Elder wilkes and
christensen! We had a great opportunity to give a few blessings to some non
members and we went and contacted some people. it was a pretty good day.
Wednesday we went and just
contacted some people. Did some tracting. We then had Lunch with Doug and
Linda, and that is always a good time. They will leave food out for the Coons,
and are super southern,we had a good lunch. The Monroe Elders then left to go
back home. We had a very nice night with some Christmas Service. We went to an
Old Folks Home in Fairhope, and served the residents food, and got to talk to
them. We went to the same place for Thanksgiving so that was nice. We then went
with the Young Men, and Young Women, and went Caroling at an Assisted Living
Facility. We were in one hallway singing, and this old lady started peaking her
head through the door, and slowly made her way out. After we finished singing
Silent Night, she proudly said "WAR EAGLE" as that was her way on
saying thank you haha. It was awesome, only in the South! We got to sing to a
bunch of old people, and it was a lot of fun.
Thursday I went on an
exchange with Elder Meidlinger and we had so much fun. We went to a less
actives house, he is a returning member. He works on cars and he showed us some
sick cars he is working on. We then taught another member who is returning and
we had a great lesson about The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Overall we had a good
day and we talked with Bishop a lot!
Friday we drove and picked up
my companion in foley. Then we came back and we later had volleyball which was
so much fun! we also had a conference call with the mission president.
Saturday we had a day full of
service. We started off the morning at 8:30am by going with the Stake President
to pick up some furniture. He is going to be pretty busy the next couple weeks,
and really needed to get this done, so he really appreciated our help. We had our
Weekly Coordination Meeting with our Ward Mission Leader Brother Klippel. He is
the best, super awesome guy. We then went to Ms. Patty Lynns house to brush
pine needles, and leaves off the roof, plus move branches into a burn pile.
Right after that we went and helped the Christensens in the Ward through a
bunch of wood, tile, ect.. away into a big red container. They had a pipe bust
in the kitchen, and somebody did a poor roofing job, and had lots of wet
things, so it was nice being able to help out as much as we could.

Sunday was a pretty good day
we had lunch with The Benhams, and right after lunch we got a call from
President Smith and I found out I will be leaving, and im going to be a
District Leader over in Fort Walton Beach. we had to figure transfer stuff out
for part of the day, but we got to finish off what Bishop Boxxes house. I love
the Boxx family, one of my favorite from the Mission. We had a good dinner with
them.
