Greedy Fly 10/29/2022

 Another solid week in the books, with at least one good story to tell from it. 

 

Tuesday started the week off on a plain but positive note. We did a lot of good tracting and contacting, and hopefully, find some people out of it. 

 

Wednesday, after district council, we went to Bases for lunch, and we sat in our car in a parking lot to eat. An old homeless guy knocked on our car door and spun this wild tale about how a cop owed him money, and we should "invest" in his legal battle to get back more money. We told him we weren't allowed to do that and were unsure if it was even legal. Well, he got upset and called us hypocritical church people for not giving him money as good Christians should. I've never had a beggar try to take the high road on me before, it was kinda funny actually. We taught our friend Julia in the afternoon and reset her baptismal date, so she should be good to go for the middle of November. We also had dinner with Mike in the evening. 

 

Thursday was the usual weekly planning and institute in the evening, although we did have a wild zoom lesson with our member Lily in the afternoon. 

 

Friday afternoon we did the food truck again with most of the Elders in our zone. We taught Christian in the afternoon again then in the evening had dinner with the Leons.

 

Saturday morning we went to the sister's baptism in Clear Lake, and finished up some of our planning. In the evening we got to teach our friend Richard who just got the Melchezidek priesthood and hopefully will be getting his patriarchal blessing soon. 

 

Sunday we had church and our usual meetings, then cleaned up a bit to get ready for inspections the next day. We had mission prep class again in the evening, this time joined by our member Chris. 

 

We got our apartment inspected Monday morning, then we went to Galveston to join the Elders at Fruity Party Island. We came back up to spend the rest of the day playing Fortnite monopoly and volleyball with the clear lake district. For FHE, we played camera hot potato and signs again.

 

It was a fairly solid week, nothing super outstanding but nothing super bad either.
