Monday we moved into our new apartment, then just hung out with the elders we live with now, Elders Tillman and Dean. We went to the aquarium in the mall and got to see tons of different animals and fish, so that was pretty cool!
Tuesday was a complete blur and I honestly couldn't tell you what we did. I know in the evening we knocked some doors but nothing came of it. Oh well!
Wednesday we went on exchanges with one of our district leaders, Elder Wirth. He came to our area with Elder Payne, and I went with his companion Elder Harris! We also had interviews with President Call. That's always amazing! It was a super good day.
Thursday was super interesting. We have an investigator name the Ben, who is 9 years old and super afraid of water. Well, we got permission from our stake president to practice with him going into the baptismal font. So, we had a lesson at the church, then him and his dad got in the water and practiced trying to go all the way under. His dad managed to get Ben all the way under the water! It was super exciting, and then he wasn't even that scared afterward. Just the initial shock, but now he's super excited to get baptized! So he's going to be getting baptized on the 1st of September!
Friday we weekly planned for a long time, and then we had MLC for a very long time as well. By the time we were done with both of those, it was dinner time, and then in the evening we had a lesson with Dakota. We also burned Elder Paynes pants at their house, because he just had his 18-month mark! So that was really fun.
Saturday we had a couple correlation meetings with some of our Ward Mission leaders, talking about the missionary work in their wards. Later that day we had two lessons, one with Marino, a nine-year-old, and one with a kid named Jason, who is 12. Marino is super excited to be baptized, and he's been taught almost everything, but he just will never wake up for church. But, this weekend we were able to wake him up on Sunday and get him to church! And he really loved it. And for Jason, he's a super smart kid who has also been taught everything, but still thinks he needs to learn more. So we read with him in the scriptures the requirements for baptism, and explained how he is ready. So we were able to put him on baptismal date for the 1st of September!
Sunday was a pretty normal day, but in the evening Kendon came out with us on splits! He's such a stud (hopefully you all remember him from Clearfield)
That's about it for this week! I love you all, have a great week!
