Hey so this week was
awesome!!! So Monday Elder Carter and me had our last Preparation day together.
Tuesday: we drove to Brother Caputos at 6:00 am super early! and drove to
Louisville, that's a long drive from Beattyville!!! We had transfers!!! first one
I'd been to since I arrived in Kentucky! Transfers are so much fun!!! I picked
up a new companion! Elder Gough. and one of my Best buddies out here Elder
Caskey is Training!!! i'm so excited for him! and my Trainer is now a Zone
Leader in New Albany! Then we drove back home and let new companion get settled
in and then we went and saw our one lady with a baptismal date and she isn't
doing any of the commitments we are leaving with her!!! Oh and we got a
new Zone Leader for this Zone! Elder Trost!! I love him!! He is from Las
Vegas!! Wednesday: we Got Blitzed last night from the Zone Leaders to help us
get straightened out and pumped for this next transfer! And one of the Zone
Leaders Elder White from Arizona he has served in Beattyville and so he took my
new companion and I took Elder Trost and all four of us hit Beattyville! We had
a lot of Success! Found a lot of potentials! and the new Senior Couple the
Carters arrived!!!! they are from Pocatello Idaho!! they are super awesome!!!
and Excited to baptize Beattyville! Thursday: So we had District meeting
and Elder Carter wanted us to drive his awesome chevy truck!! yes finally
something with four wheel drive in Beattyville! but we can't drive it. so he
went with us to district meeting
Sister Carter stayed to keep getting everything moved around in their house! then we traveled back home after district meeting, the zone leaders were there and each member of district had a meeting with the District and Zone leaders to discuss plans for this transfer! then we drove home and tried some of the new people we found on Wednesday. Friday: we had weekly planning for week two already!! then we went and tried this referral that we received from Elder Seymore when they blitzed us a few weeks ago, and we had to contact her at her work and when we got out and were almost around the block the owner yelled us to come back and he chewed us out for talking to his girls that way about religion cause we don't preach the right things.....? what ever. but we did get her number to set something up with her! :) then we went into the Hair Salon and contacted a referral we got the other day and she was super awesome!!! she gave us her number and address before we could even get the question out of our mouths! she knows that we were sent to her by God because she had been going through some rough times. then we took the Carters out to see some less actives and tried getting them introduced to the area. We also took them to a Part member Family Lesson. and set a Baptismal date!!! then we dropped the carters off,and went to our next appointment and set a Baptismal date with this couple!!! so That makes Four Baptismal dates!!!! Saturday: we Went and tried All of the New investigators we had picked up but most of them forgot or the spouse turned us away :(. then we took the Carter's out to see some other less actives that lived up this holler and I mean like the very end of this Holler! Then we came back into Beattyville and tired this older bed ridden Less active who can't come to church because he is strapped to an oxygen tank. Sunday: We had a Great Sunday meeting we had 18 at church! only 5 were locals of Beattyville though. Then we met with the Stake President and the Branch President after Church and Talked about the Less active and the Active with the Carter's but we had to leave early because we had appointments set. We drove all the way out to one appointment and the guy gave us a fake address :( then we tried the lady we contacted in the Hair Salon and she had just barely left for arrands in town but her mom answered door and said to meet up with her at her work. then we went and saw a less active Sonny he is a super funny guy! then we finished tracting a road with a house about every half mile. super spread out. then we went to try an appointment but like literally lost her we couldn't find her house any where!! she was gone! so then we drove back after talking with this guy that lives on that road that has been taught everything in the past but won't commit to a baptismal date! We went to the Carters and they fed us dinner! The first member meal in 7 weeks!!! it was super good! Spaghetti!!! then we went and talked with people on main street! oh and we ended up with 20 new investigators this week! thats mission record! like a once in a mission life time! and 18 other lessons and 4 baptismal dates!!! I am super excited for Beattyville this Transfer! \
