Tuesday-
Went to Mobile for a District Meeting. Drove passed Forest Hill Dr. so I had to
stop and take a picture. (J.Cole) Then we went home and packed up our apartment
which took all day. Then we went to a Bible study at another church which was
interesting haha. Had a good time but it was interesting.
Wednesday-
we got up and Finished packing all that we could. Then we drove to tallahassee.
We left at like 12pm and got there around 4:30. We met up with the Assistants
and went out to Olive Garden! It was so good! Thanks mom and dad for the money
haha. Then we went back to the apartment which they had no power haha so we
hung out at the Office Elders apartment.
Thursday-
Got up and got ready in the dark because again still no power and it was hot
haha. Then we went to the stake center which is across from FSU. Had a meeting
with all the Campus missionaries for the Light The World event they were having
that night. It was funny because I'm not even in their zone, yet I was like
writing down everything they needed and was giving my input haha. Then we went
to a bunch of stores to get supplies for the event. Then we went to the mission
home and grabbed some stuff from Presidents garage. Went back to the apartment
and changed our ties to some christmas style ties. Then we drove to TCC
(Tallahassee Community College) and did some contacting for a few hours. We
left and went to the church dropped off all the stuff and then drove to taco
bell with the sisters and ate before the event started. Then went back to the
church set everything up. We "saved the day" because we had an extra
long extension cord in our truck which was able to hook up the lights for the
photo booth. The Light the World Kick off Event started at 7pm. A few words
from the stake president and then Marvin Goldstein who is a professional
pianist played music for about 45 min. In the meantime we were like running
around setting up hot chocolate booth, and trying to figure out the audio for
the light the world video which everyone was stressing about because it wasnt
working. Then we get it to work and it all worked out. It was a stressful day
for all of us haha it was funny because it wasnt even like an event I have been
planning I just showed up and helped out haha. We all had a great time and so
many non members came and less actives so it was a success!! We didnt get done
with everything until like 9:30pm. Drove home and passed out haha.
Friday-
We got up, packed and then drove back to Alabama. Finally got home and still
havent eaten anything so we grab a quick bite to eat. The Foley Elders met us
for breakfast and then came to our house to help us move. In the middle of
moving we get a text from our investigator who we havent seen in a week. So I
quickly put on some nice clothes, drive over and meet her at the church. Sadly
I forgot the keys to the church building so we had the lesson outside. We ended
up just answering a lot of her questions. Shes like I understand it all I guess
I just need to take a step of faith. She said she is going to pray and ask if
Joseph Smith really was the Prophet of the Restoration. I had some of the foley
missionaries with me. She explained to them how I saved her life haha. She was
like he found me when I was pleading with god for a sign and then an hour later
he shows up and asks me if he can share a message about Jesus Christ with me.
Since then Ive found so much truth. Haha That was just such an amazing feeling
to be that big of an impact to someone else. I LOVE SERVING A MISSION! Because
its not about me! Its all about others! ❤
After
we went back home and finished moving which took all day as well! We then went
to Fairhope because there was a christmas parade and we just contacted people
the whole time. It was a lot of fun!
Saturday-
We had coordination meeting with our ward mission leader. Then we went to the
church and did some administrative things with miles for the zone and then we
did interview times with president and sent that to president smith. We sat at
the church and talked to Bishop Boxx and we decided with him that we were going
to go to his house later to make some lemonade haha. So we went back to our
apartment cleaned the old apartment for a few hours and then went to bishops
house. He got us pizza and we hung out there and made lemonade for the
christmas party on sunday.
Sunday-
Got up came to church and had a great sabbath day! Sadly our investigators
didnt come to church :( But we have just been praying for them. After church we
had a member who has been wanting me to come over for lunch but our schedules
just havent been lining up and I feel so bad haha she was not happy with us. I
didnt know what to say because another member already signed up on our calendar
for lunch haha. But we will just go over to her house next week. But today we
went to the Nimmers and had a great time with them. She took pictures of us
with her family and then sent it to my mom. So I hope you got them mom! haha
Then after sharing a message with them we went to the church to help set up for
the christmas party. we called all our investigators to come but none of them
could sadly. Next time! :) haha We had a very nice time visiting with everyone.
I love this ward so much! Definitely one of the number one wards im coming back
to visit! The nimmers want me to come back and visit and go hunting and go to
their cabin with them so Im excited to come back for that! But we had a great
time watching the Christmas devotional together as a ward! A few non members
came and it was awesome to get to know them! Oh and Everyone Loved our lemonade
haha it was gone so fast! We later had to do some more administrative things
but we finally were able to leave the church around 9:30pm haha. SO MUCH TO DO
SO LITTLE TIME!
Today-

some Elders for MLC tomorrow. A meeting that we have with our mission president
