Week 37

Ok wow what a week, so last Monday, we went to the Zachery building, to hang out with my district and that was fun we played games like death frisbee and church soccer! Which are missionary's games and it was fun because I won both, but the consequences from trying so hard was a fat blister on me left foot. After that we went to dinner somewhere idk where anymore! (it was like a week ago!!). Then we just jumped into Tuesday, which we did nothing!!!!! We still didn't have miles so it's hard to get anywhere, so we ended up just reading all day! Then a member dropped off dinner for us, and some groceries, which was the best!!! And that was the extent of the day!

Wednesday, got up in the morning and we were going to go onto exchanges, where we would just get one missionary from Denham and go out as a 3 way companionship! And that was fun! But it was lame because they told us they would be there at 10 AM and the that told us they needed to push it back to 11:30 no big deal, and then 11:30 turned into 2 PM, haha so a little late start into the day but O-well, after everyone left we went to see a awesome old guy that is our ward, his wife passed way a little over 3 weeks ago and so he is a little lonely, but it was just way cool to get to hear his story and his testimony. After we said goodbye to him we got picked up back at our apt, to go help out an eagle scout project, from one of our youth in the ward, (like the only one), but it was way fun) after that we had a boring meeting...:/ and that took us into the night and right into bed!!! In the morning we switched back. Then we did our weekly planing and then a member picked us up for a really good dinner, it was a crawfish chowder, and wow it was really the best!!!! 

Friday, we had ZTM down in Hammond which is far so we got a ride with the Zachary elders, which was fun, and once at the meeting we had a good time seeing friends! I was ask to give the white handbook review, (white handbook is the rule book for missionaries), and when most people, give the white handbook review they pick a rule and then read/explain it! Which is lame... So what I did was bare my testimony on the book, because everyone all ready knows what in it! So what I was said was there might be fun if you don't follow the book, but there is more happiness when you following the book! And then I told everyone it up to YOU if you want to waste you mission in being disobedient! So I hope it helped some people, and the rest of the meeting was nice we talked about how to strengthen our companionship! Over all a great meeting! And then we went to lunch at Wild Buffalo wings, which was way fun, after that we headed home to take a nap, because big meeting like that just take everything out of you, then we helped someone move their storage crap!!! and that ended that! 

Saturday!!! So ya I did not really realized that conference was here until I was at the church watching it!!!! And wow it was way awesome to be able to sit down and watch the prophet of God talk to ME (and YOU!!!!!! And help us for now in our day! So conference took up the whole day, we went to a members house for dinner and the priesthood session, which was the best! And then Sunday... in the morning we went with one of our investigators to his church, and wow that was fun, it was called "The Oaks"  and it was just a feel good church, where they read out of the Bible, and then tried to explain it... but it was fun the people were good people for sure!!! Then we went to a members house for conference and dinner, and we stayed there until it was time for us the be heading home, and the raps up the week!!!!

So over all we don't have much time left to do good in the world! So try your best to follow the Lord Jesus Christ!
