Email from Elder Lofthouse 9/20/16 Amazing Taste How Sweet the Pound (Cake)

Good Afternoon, everyone!  This week was sure fun, as usual.  It was a little bit of a slow week, but it was still fun.
     
Tuesday was good.  After all of our Preparation Day stuff, we had supper, and then we went and walked around the trails of Millwoods to talk to people.  It wasn't the best, but it was good.
     
Wednesday was better.  We had a lesson with Shawn, and we got him on date for October 1st!  I'm super excited.  He's a stellar guy.  It was a great lesson.  After lunch we did nothing exceptional, but it was a good day.  We mostly rode the bus around to talk to people.  It was pretty good.  After supper we tried by some people but nobody was home.  It was still a super stellar day!
     
Thursday was really fun.  We had district meeting in the morning, and then we went and had lunch.  We stopped by a couple of people who said we could come back, but nobody was home.  The afternoon is not the best people to find people home..... Who knew?  haha.  After supper we rode the bus around some more.  It's nice having bus passes.  Bus contacting is pretty fun!
     
Friday we had another lesson with Shawn.  It was good, and He's super excited for his baptism.  After our lesson we did weekly planning.  It always takes a while, and it's not super exciting, but it's better to be prepared for stuff than to just wing it!  Doesn't make it any better.  In the evening we knocked a few doors, but nothing exciting happened.
     
Saturday was pretty fun.  We had a lesson in the afternoon that fell through, so I guess we didn't have a lesson.... So most of the day we talked to people on the streets and on the bus.
     
Sunday was great.  We had stake conference.  Elder Useda of the Seventy came.  It was an awesome meeting.  There were so many people there was standing room only.  It was super cool.  After that we went to teach Joe Smith, but he wasn't home.  We had supper and then went to the Demeyer Carter family's house..... That was no fun.  We got dropped by them.  Sad, eh?
     
Monday was super good.  We had a lesson with Shawn in the morning, and then we went to the MCC Thrift store in the after noon.  It's always fun to volunteer there.  After that we had a lesson with Romadon.  It went well, and we had a good discussion about justice and mercy.  After that we ate supper, and then we went and did some street contacting. It was a really good day!
     
This week was interesting.  We have to keep on going if we want to win life.  Basically the only time you lose is if you give up.  So don't give up!  It's as simple as that!  Keep going through all the dissapointment, pain, and tragedy, and you'll win.  There is no such thing as losing unless you quit.  So just don't.  Deal?
