So to start off the week last Monday was an excellent P day! We were able to go down to Milwaukee and play some basketball with the zone as well as some card games, and lets just say I was on the top of my game at Scum! But it was fun, good times with some other missionaries! Then we had exchanges with the Hmong elders, so I was staying in Milwaukee! I was with Elder Green, who I have been on exchanges with before, and it was a good time!
So Tuesday I was with Elder Green for the whole day, and we were able to go and talk to a few Hmong people, and then we ended up going to the airport to pick up one of the new Hmong missionaries. They come in a week before transfers and I happened to be with the Hmong elders who were his companions for the last week so we got to go to the airport! That was a little bit of a weird experience! Then we had a super good dinner at Bel Air, a taco place, and called it a day!
Wednesday we had interviews with President Williams and since our district is so big that basically meant that we were there for the entire day.. so that kinda sucked, but it was good to spend some time with President and Sister Williams. This is also when the roller coaster starts happening. So President told me in my interview that he was looking at transfers and thinking that Elder Mecham and I would be staying together in Port for another transfer. He also told Elder Mecham that and so we are pretty excited about that!
Thursday was a pretty normal proselyting day, we did our weekly planning and some knocking. We also stopped by some old potentials and stuff like that. It was a good day of work, and then we had dinner with a family up in the top of our area, so we had to take some time to get there and back, and do some work on the way since we don't get up there too much. Then we got back and it was pretty much 9.... so that was the day.
Friday we had a really good day! Well kinda. Our service plans got cancelled, so that made for a couple more hours of finding. But we had calls with the district and then we went and visited Erv! He is so kind and willing to serve its amazing. Especially thinking that he ins't a member of the church. So basically we were there for 2 hours, because he invited us over for a lesson, and then after that we had some members come over for a dinner that Erv had prepared. So that was a fun time!
Saturday, back to the roller coaster week. So I was feeling good that we got to stay for longer and all these good things are starting to happen. We have this awesome plan for the parade today, everything seems to be going good. Well then the parade gets cancelled and that was a real bummer, there was so much opportunity there, and then it was gone with a single text message.... so that was lame. So my week got a little less fun then.
Sunday rolls around and we are supposed to find out who is leaving now around 7 am. Well we get the text and neither of us are leaving, so then like 2 seconds later we get another text from the zl's that says, disregard that. So we don't know who is leaving at this point. Then during church we get the next one, and MY NAME IS ON THE TEXT!!! Oh I was so bothered. So I am leaving Port Washington after only 7 weeks with Elder Mecham, and he has been here for almost 5 months... so I feel weird, but I am going back to Madison, a different ward, but same city pretty much!
So that was the week.... It was up and down, and now I am super sad to be leaving, but I guess the Lord has a plan for me in Madison and I will need to be there! I hope that all is well where you all are! Have a great week! Remember to #LightTheWorld
