This week has been so exhausting, in a really good way. It just means we've been on the missionary grind and are putting in good work. That also means my weekly email is super late.
Tuesday
we taught one of our members but the rest of the day was long trying to find people
either at apartments or in stores.
Before
district council on Wednesday, we had interviews with our president again, and
afterward, we went instead of Fruity Party island to Bases, just to mix things
up a bit. We tried a lot that evening as well to text people and stop by to
check up on them.
Thursday
we had a cool opportunity to go with the clear lake Elders and set up a table
on campus at the University of Houston Clear Lake. We talked to a whole lot more
people than I expected and we passed out a lot of Book of Mormons. That took up
most of our day, and in the afternoon we went to Alvin for institute.
Friday
we got to help out yet again at the food truck which was a lot of fun, even
with a little bit of rain. That evening we were super excited to join the youth
of the clear lake wards for volleyball, but we showed up and found out it was
actually gonna happen a later week, so that was a bummer.
Saturday
we of course had to play basketball in the afternoon, and later in the evening
we had a game night. We had a couple member and nonmember friends show up to
our members house and it was a real good time.
On
Sunday, we had a really good testimony meeting, where one of our nonmember
friends bore her testimony. We also had our friend Matt from basketball show up
for the first time and we even gave him a Book of Mormon. There was a linger
longer after church, and in the evening we did mission prep again with the clear
lake sisters and Mike.
Monday
was zone p-day. We split off into two teams of senior vs. junior companions and
Elder Hadley and I were captains. We played volleyball, zone missionary trivia,
and ultimate frisbee. Our team won 2 of the 3 games, so we got to pie our
companions in the face. It was a blast. To cap it all off, that evening we went
to our member Christian's house who fed us some great food, since FHE didn't
happen that night.
It
was a super great week, I'm so grateful for the times we've had to just put our
shoulder to the wheel and really get some good missionary work in.
