My week:
Monday: I had a great time today! We shopped and got our groceries paid for by a member which was pretty legit! We ate lunch and emailed a little at McDonald's. We played basketball at the church until about 4. Our dinner was with the Ledesma's. They fed us Spaghetti and Meatballs, it was delicious! We then stopped by the Pinneo's and tried to go see some of the sheep things but we were too late. So right now the Pinneo's are hosting a sheep showing thing. So tons of kids in the ward and stake here are raising sheep and they are gonna show them to try and win an award. So supposedly Mondays are the busy days! We wanted to see the madness but we were late so we visited with the Pinneo's for a bit and we later saw Laura and checked up on her. She is continuing strong, she's great!
Tuesday: We had some phone work to do calling some people, so we went to the church and got that done first thing. Then we tried to go see Laura, but she wasn't home sooo we did some work in the mobile home park she lives in. We can't necessarily knock on doors there but we can just walk around and talk to anyone we see. Unfortunately we didn't find anyone we could teach. But we did visit a member who comes to church every now and again. His name is Gary, he is kinda funny haha. He told us he usually feeds the missionaries but we haven't been to his house yet. Maybe soon?? Hope so! After that we went home and had lunch and companionship study with the Elders in the district. I have been able to find a great importance in studying. I did not have that knowledge of its importance during high school haha but I definitely enjoy it now! I love being able to open up my scripture and read something that will help me during that day. Plus I learn something new each time I study! It's a win, win situation! Out again to find some people we went knocking in a small neighborhood. We didn't necessarily find anyone. But it was great to get out there and work!! We had dinner with the Hansen's, we got lucky and had tacos, one of my favorites! So Father's and sons is coming up this weekend. So today at mutual we helped set it up at the Pinneo's. They have a Go-kart so we helped make the track for it. Also we created a fire ring as well. Pretty exhausting day but that's a good thing haha!
Wednesday: Tragedy struck today! So the illness that Elder Campbell had finally got me. Today we were on exchanges. Elder Baker and I stayed in all day. Boring day but I got some rest and am doing a ton better!!
Thursday: Well I thought I was gonna get better but I definitely did not. Day 2 of being in unfortunately..
Friday: Guess what!? I'm doing a ton better!! Wait I can't lie, I am definitely still sick haha. We stayed in again but later we went to dinner with the William's. They have a daughter that is about 4 that is literally the cutest, funniest little girl.
Saturday: Another exchange day with one of my old companions Elder Emerson! But we stayed in all day but hey I'm feeling better and definitely on the recovery!! I'm ready to get back out there and teach! Sorry for the boring week!
Sunday: Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!! Today was great, our church meeting was good. The primary children sang and we had three super good talks. Our dinner was with the McGregor Family. We had fish tacos and sparkling cider! Then I gotta talk to my amazing family! Surprising enough they still love me!!
