| Here is the district we're in. Sorry for the Jabba the Hut look. |
So we did our regular p day stuff, and then we went to the McGuire's for supper. Brother McGuire is a member, but the two girls are not, and they're who we are teaching. It was awesome. They have such funny questions, and it really makes me think hard for a simple answer. After that we walked across the street and visited John. He is super cool as well, but wants logical evidence of everything before he'll commit to baptism. So we'll keep on working with him. After that we drove to Vegreville to exchange with the Elders in Vermilion. It was a really fun day.
Wednesday was ok. Elder Killebrew and I were on exchanges here in Sherwood Park. So we walked most of the day, and didn't have really any lessons. We had one set up with a potential investigator, but it fell through. So we basically wandered the trails of Sherwood Park looking for people to talk to! We had supper with the Audenarts. They are a super cool family. We exchanged back after that. It was a decent day.
Thursday was awesome. We had District Meeting in the morning. It was good. We practiced answering people's questions. Then we went to Vivian's for lunch. We had some sauerkraut. I love sauerkraut. After lunch we went and helped the Patrick's move some stuff out of their basement. They're getting ready to move in a little while, and they're having a giant garage sale. So we moved stuff up for them. After that we went and visited Robin. He's a less active guy living in a senior care facility. He's a super cool guy, and he knows a lot about almost anything. It was great. After that we had supper with the Boyd's. We had some excellent roast beef. We had a lesson with Sister Reid after that. She's been a member for about three years, and we found out that she never had the new member lessons! So we're going to start those with her. After that we visited Brother Kohn. It's always fun to visit him. It was a really, really fun day!
Friday was pretty good, as well. We went to Dream Catcher and did some service. It was super fun. I love doing that. So we started our weekly planning and then we went and taught a lesson with Eli. It was good. We taught a good lesson on hope, and how it helps us. I loved it. After that lesson we got planning underway. It went ok. Not like last week. It didn't get done in one day. Sad..... We had supper with the Orr's. They're a super awesome family. It was pretty fun. After supper we went and tried by a couple of people, but nobody was home. We went and got frosty's with the Nottingham elders. It was pretty good.
Saturday was a lot of fun. We had coordination in the morning. We had a really good meeting. After that we finished coordination, and then ate ribs for lunch. I love ribs. After lunch we had a good chat with Brother Bexson. We had a really good talk with him. We'll go visit him later. We did have a really cool experience. We tried by a members place in an apartment building, but they weren't home. So we were on our way to the car, when a guy called out to us. So we turned around and went back. He was on the 2nd floor balcony. We had a really good conversation, and we tossed up a Book of Mormon. It was super cool. We exchanged contact info, so we're hoping to start teaching him soon. We had supper with the Minchin's. We had a really good hot dog roast. We did get eaten alive by mosquitos, but it was super fun. It was a really good day.
Sunday was pretty good. We went and stopped by some less active members to invite them to come to church. Nobody was home though. So we had lunch and then went to church. There were 2 investigators there, but neither of them were anyone we were teaching. Haha. It was still pretty cool. The Sisters brought their investigator and the Tagalog Elders brought their investigator. It was awesome. Church was really good. After church we walked to supper, and talked to a few people, you know, the normal stuff. The Atwood's are an awesome family, and we had some excellent steak. I love steak. :) After supper we walked back to the church, talking to people along the way, and then tried by a former investigators place. Nobody answered there, either. Oh well, it was still a fun day.
Monday we got transfer calls. Elder Roundy is getting transferred, but with the new way President is doing transfers, we won't find out where until Wednesday! I won't find out who my new companion is until then, either. :) We went to the foodbank in the morning, which is always fun. I love it. After that we went and visited Brother Leaf, and we had supper with the Fixsens. After supper we visited Vivian and the Millers. It was a pretty busy day. This whole week has been fun!
This week we learned that it's always better to be busy than bored. God made us to act, not to be acted upon. We should take some initiative, and go do something to make the world a better place! As the band Crown the Empire says "if we tried we could all change the world!" That is truth. We don't need to do something super huge to change the world, but it is the small acts of kindness everyday that make a giant difference.
Have a wonderful week!
Loves
Elder Rusty Lofthouse
No one will take the fall! We're all so comfortable with living in our sheltered holes! No one will take the fall! But if we tried we could all change the world!
