Wake Me Up When September Ends September 16, 2022

 Another fantastic week in the books filled with lots of good stuff.

 

Tuesday we tried to best the other missionaries in our district by having the most people taught in the day (members included) and ended up teaching 10 people. We were all over the place teaching Matt, Bremmen, Chris, all the Leons, Christian, Elder Vergaray, and Mike. We even found time to help Clay, Matt, Bremmen, and Chris move into their new place together.

 

On Wednesday what really stood out was Chris taking us to Coco yet again for dinner because we helped him out. 

 

On Thursday, we met Julia for the first time, who took us to Saltgrass Steakhouse. There she told us her story with missionaries in the past and said she was ready to join the church as soon as possible, so we put her on date for baptism in the middle of October. We also got to go to institute later that night.

 

Friday we did service with all the Clear Lake missionaries and the school program again, but not for very long. We did end up going down to Texas City to help the Elders there with the same school program set up the event we've unknowingly been helping prepare for this whole time. We taught Haley that afternoon and had dinner with the younger Owens family in the branch presidency.

 

We played basketball at a park Saturday morning with our friends, then for lunch in the afternoon the older Owens in the branch presidency took us to Red River BBQ. That evening we went to a beach in Galveston to join our branch for a bonfire activity. 

 

Sunday was pretty standard with church and come follow me at a member's house. 

 

We all went to a really poor buffet place called Yummy Yummy for p-day lunch. None of our district had been there before, so we didn't know what to expect. We got to go on the ferry in Galveston which was a round trip to and from the peninsula. On the ride, we saw the Galveston Naval Museum which was an old warship and we also saw a lot of dolphins swimming near the boat. That night for FHE we played giant board games and had pizza. 

 

It was a super great week and I'm looking forward to having many more like it.
