Monday: We had to take the car to
Pep-Boys in the morning. Went for a oil change and getting a tire fixed. But
while there they found another problem. Long story short we went at 7 am and
didnt get our car back until about 12 pm. It was horrible. We were not able to
get any ties because everyone else got to them first. We are always the first
to get them because we are the closest. We mainly just went and played
basketball at the church. That was my P-Day.
Tuesday: We had district meeting at
about 12:30. After we went to a little restaurant that an investigator, of the
other Elders we live with, works at. It is a super tiny place but it was super
good. They just make hamburgers, sell drinks, and chips. Thats it. Super small
place. So skip to that night. Elder Guillette and I were walking back to our
car. It had been raining all day and so it had been wet and stuff. He went to
go jump over a puddle to get to the car and his feet slipped when he jumped and
so he fell in the mud. It splashed up on his tie, his pants, and his face. A
couple spots got on his shirt. It wasnt super bad but it was super funny! Oh
man, I was dying laughing. After that he cleaned up at the church and then had
a lesson with one of our investigators Miguel. He is a boss guy! All he
needs is a spiritual confirmation and he would be done for. Afterwards we went
to Bro. Bocanegras house and ate dinner. I dont remember what it was but it was
pretty good. I dont think there is a hispanic food that I dont like!
Wednesday: Castillo's!!!!! They took us
to Rudy's again this week. I had another brisket sandwich, coleslaw, and peach
cobbler. Really yummy! I like Rudy's a lot. The only other thing that happened
on Wednesday was that we had a lesson with an Investigator. They are JR and
Fatima. Super cool couple. Love having us over and teaching them. They just
need an answer about the Restoration mainly. So great!
Thursday: We went over to Sis.
Izzaguirres house that morning and ate Tamales. She made TONS of them. We didnt
have a whole lot of time so we downed them. They are super good. You guys need
to learn how to make Mexican food because I know that you would love it. The
tacos they make here and so much better than tacos at home. haha I just
absolutely love the food. That night we got more food from some members. They
made hamburgers and gave it all to us to bring home and eat. So we did. They
were yummy! Also that night we had had another lesson with Miguel. He told
us that he was going to start bringing his granddaughter to church with him.
Super Excited!
Friday: That afternoon for weekly
planning the power went out. Later when we left the apartment (to pick up
more food from a member) we saw that they were working on it down the
street. The member was Jaine! She got us KiKi's again. I was going to take a
picture of all the food but I forgot. She also got us a 12 pack of Root Beer a
12 pack of Coke, and two gallons of Blue Bell ice cream! Heaven!!! And that was
Friday.
Saturday and Sunday: We sat down with a
Dad and his two sons. They were really cool and they like us a lot. We
invited them to be baptized and they accepted. They are excited to do it
and come to church. We also made Biscuits and Gravy in the apartment from
scratch. Well the biscuits from scratch but not the gravy. It was pretty yummy.
We also had a district comp study. We all got together and watched the Elder
Holland talk called "The First Great Commandment". Also read the talk “Becoming a Consecrated Missionary.” I want to invite you guys to watch the Elder Holland
Talk, as a family. I also would
like to invite you guys to read the Consecrated Missionary talk by Tad R
Callister. You can do that separately
or together as a family. This can also be for everyone else in the family. Like
Grandma, grandpa, and everyone else. I think that they are super great talks
and really inspiring.
So that was my week. But
Its all good.
But I hope that you guys all have a
good week! I hope work and school is all good. I love you a lot!
-Elder Dawson
