Week 15

Holy cow this past week was insane! It went by super fast I don't remember much. Monday was the same we carved pumpkins but down here in the south pumpkins don't last at all because it's still like high 80's and my pumpkin just died overnight in then in the sun, and elder Deakins was infested by ants by Wednesday.

Tuesday we had district meeting it was great and very heartfelt because everyone is leaving. 

Wednesday was fun we did the same as always bible study, saw people and had a good time. 

Thursday was another fun day we went on splits I stayed in Marksville with Elder Bown and we had a really good time we drove everywhere trying to talk with people but we ended up back at the apt. so we did a workout while dinner was cooking (dirty rice) and the workout was insane, by the end of it I could not lift my arms above my head, and I also threw up a ton because it was just that intense! 

Friday was awesome,  we had ZTM and it was the best, we had a basketball activity which was bump (lightning,speed, whatever you call it) and it was with the whole zone so like 40 people and I won, me out of everyone, it was fa un throw down in my nice pants and vest and tie. Then we went home took a nap, went to see a family that we are teaching and it was good for sure. 

Saturday was a big day it was Brittney Wrights baptism!!!!!!!! that day was fun and very interesting. It went by fast and the spirit was super strong. It makes me happy to know that I helped Brittney make the best decision in her life. 

Sunday was a good normal day, went to church, went to see the Griffins, then wet to some baby naming thing out in the backwoods with some members. 

Monday it was nice we went to see a bunch of people and they were all home. Then we went to go have lunch at the browns and holy cow sister brown can cook up some good ribs she made like 4 big old racks and then gave us the rest so that was awesome! Then we had to be in the house by 6 because it was Halloween so we got some ice-cream and watched the restoration video like 10 times  it was fun. 

Then today Tuesday was interesting we got up to Alexandria early and met the district at I-Hop for elder Butlers birthday it was nice then we got a call from president and he told us ( me and elder Deakin) that we are both leaving Marksville tomorrow for transfers, which make me sad because I don't think it is time for me to leave.  There is so much work here to do and we have made a lot of progress, I don't want to loose that progress.  But no, I am out in the morning and I have no clue where I am going yet. But it's all ok because it's all in the Lord hands and he knows what is up, all I need to do is trust him! 

Other then that I love life, it can't get much better! The Church is true, if you like it or not. And we can all live with our Father in Heaven once again if we abide by His teachings and His commandments. 

Love you all!

Love Elder Gordon 

and here are the pictures of the baptism I think my tie was appropriate for the occasion because you know ducks and water.
