Crazy Week!

This week has both been amazing, but super sad at the same time... Very eventful! If you read past this, you'll find out why ;)

Monday, we did the usual thing, speedball and hang out.

Tuesday, we knocked almost all the doors in the apartment complex in our area, but nothing promising.

Wednesday, I went on exchanges with Elder Lauer. Part of being a district leader is going on exchanges with the other elders in your district, to train them. He's been out for 20 months, and was just released from being a zone leader, so I think he's the one that did the training! He's a super great missionary, and a cool guy, so I enjoyed it.

Thursday and Friday was a blur... Oops!

Saturday was the crazy day... We started the day by going to Chilis, with a whole nonmember family of 5, and taught them the restoration. We invited them all to be baptized, they said no, but they did invite us back, so we're praying in the future they will! They are seriously such a nice family. Later that night we saw a LOT of smoke in our area, so we quickly biked to it. Turns out our bishop’s house caught fire, and almost completely burnt the house down. The frame of the house is there, but the inside is gone. Super sad, but luckily no one was home, so everyone is okay. I'll add a picture below.

Sunday was a great day. It was fast and testimony meeting at church, and it was the most spiritual one I've ever been in. Everyone was crying, because the bishop and his family showed up, even though they had no clothes to wear, only what members gave them. The bishop got up, and was so humble about the entire thing.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe 4th of July! Love you all, have a good week!
