This week was a very busy, tiring, full of hard work week. So Monday was a super fun day, we did all of our normal preparation stuff, email, shop, laundry. But then we went to the car elders apartment and played settlers of catan. Then we had them take us home, and we got ready for brother Sorensen to pick us up to take us to his house for dinner. We ate chicken and rice that she prepared with a pressure cooker, was super good! The Sorensens are super awesome! I love them!
They had a bunch of funny stories about what they did for
April fools last year and for that they had happen to them on their missions.
We all had a bunch of great laughs! But then we had him take us home and we had
our one appointment that night cancel on us! :(
Tuesday: we got up we went and saw brother Bill linne, he
is super funny! But he isn't doing very good, but then we went and were biking
around all day, had some interesting people today, haha but our first
appointment for the day wasn't home. So we went to our second appointment and
it was a super spiritual lesson! They said they are going to read the Book of
Mormon! Then we tried a few more, then had a great lesson with another on of
our investigators and her kids, with a member she knows from Charlestown, was a
little distracted of a lesson but it went okay, she isn't too interested. :(
but her kids sure are!
Haha, then we went and had dinner with one of our
investigators, she took us out to Texas road house! It was super good! She is
the best!
Wednesday: we had district meeting! I love this district!
They are a lot of fun! I was a super giggly meeting! No one could keep from laughing,
haha, but then we came home and had a member come out with us, but on our way
to our appointment the lady texted and canceled! :( so we came back home and we
ate lunch then we went out and tried some referrals and some people the bishop
wanted us to find! But we then had an amazing lesson with this couple! They are
super awesome! Was a great lesson! Then we continued finding those members,
then ate some dinner, then had our other lesson of the day cancel!
Thursday: we did some weekly planning, then we went out biking trying to
find some new people to teach! We found one of our former baptismal dates and
we set up a time for us to come back! Then we had a couple of appointments fall
through, so we walked dales dogs, hen we talked to a couple that were former
baptismal dates, and he was like yeah my wife's in the house! Let's go talk to
her to set up a time for you guys to come back because we miss you guys coming
around, so later that day we came back by and had an amazing lesson! Was able
to set baptismal dates with them! They are an awesome couple love them! We were
able to answer all of their questions and resolve all of heir concerns. Then at
the end we go is there anything we can do for y'all?
And she goes yeah! When can you all come back!? It was
amazing!
Friday: we went saw bill again, he almost fell when he
answered the door! He isn't doing good at all! He looks horrible and is doing
worse! :( had a great lesson! And then I gave him a blessing! The power of
blessings are amazing! Then west up a time for us to come see another member,
that by there, then we went and met with sister Davis!
She is this super cool lady! She is alittle older, and
bad health, but she has a very good spirit about her! Had a great lesson on the
gospel of Jesus Christ with her! Then we went to return appointment and they
weren't there! So we went back and saw the member we set up to see later, then
we went to the Mathis's for dinner. I love gem! They are so funny! Had a
homemade chicken pot pie, and today elder benard got 3 flats! And my bikes back
wheel started wobbling so had zone leaders give us one of their bikes and they
took mine back to the apartment, and anyways back to Mathis's elder benard
fixed this second flat of the day at Mathis's for,2 hours! The stupid patch
wouldn't work!
Saturday: elder Benares third flat we got up was gonna
head our and he has to fix another flat! The joys of being a bike missionary.
But the.
We called Blanche she couldn't meet she was going to
dinner with her son, and Rita wasn't going to be home either! So we tied a few
other people, then went to our appointment with this June family well they
forgot our appointment and was going to go see star wars! Haha so we went to
the church for our next appointment he didn't show! :( so we biked to our next
appointment he wasn't home, so we biked to dales for our dinner with Dale and
the car elders he fed us Marcos pizza! It's super good pizza! Dale is so funny!
But while we were there it started to rain! Hard! So we had car elders drive us
to our appointment that fell through! Gave us a faulty address. So we biked
home in the down pour of rain! Like it was a lot of rain! Wow! It can rain! We
got home then got ready to get soaked and went out to another appointment they
didn't answer the door! :( but on our way there a member from Salem branch and
his dad is in our ward, picked us up in his truck and drive us to our
appointment! It was awesome! I love members! They are the best! But then she
wasn't there, so we flew on our bikes home to meet our ward mission leader for
him to pick us is to take us to his house for coordination, and we got soaked!
I mean soaked! Wow! So we got there he was waiting for us with the car elders
and we went in and got changed into dry stuff, we were drenched! Took my shoes
two days to dry! Haha but then went with ward mission leader and he fed us
cookies and cream ice cream.
Sunday: well the rain turned into snow! So there was snow
everywhere!
And pretty much shut everything down! But hey it's pretty
good first snow of the year happened on January 10th! Haha car elders picked us
up, and she number at church as super low but more than I thought, we helped
shovel sidewalks at chrurch, then we had a great service did sacrament at the
end of sacrament meeting instead of beginning because there were a lot of
people running late do to traffic and bad roads!
But it was super good service! The talks were on goals,
and attitude towards your goals! Then we came home did some studying! Then had
brother Stephenson come out with us to see a few of our members none were home!
:( so he took us home, and we dreaded biking in the ice and slick snow! But we
went out and almost made it out of the apartment complex and we both almost
slipped on our bikes in the ice! So we had to baby them everywhere we went so
we didn't slide and die! Haha elder benard almost got hit by a car three times!
And I almost fell down like 10 everytime i forgot it was slick and decided to
hit my brakes a little I would almost go down or had to swerve I about went
down, so we babied it! We had nothing work out tonight, and no one was out
walking because it was like -10 dregrees yeah that right! We biked in
-10 degree weather! Haha takes real men to do that! Of
course we had so many clothes on that we were sweating! So it was icy in our
scarfs!
But this week was fairly good over all, we learned to
keep diligent work and obedience to the commandments and you will see miracles
worked! I love this work! I hope y'all back home are staying warm and working
towards a Christ centered life. Have a great week! I love y'all and miss y'all!
Love, Elder Durfee
