This week was really good, we kept ourselves busy and it was warm outside so that was just a blessing all around. We had zone conference, exchanges with 2 different companionships and did a lot of hard work!
On Monday we had a good p day! We spent some time in the morning doing laundry and the things we need to get done, and then we had lunch with my dad!! He was in town for business, so it was really cool to see him! Then we went over to the church and played some good sports! There were a ton of people there so it was really really good!
Tuesday we had zone conference, so that was pretty much out whole day. I felt super good about the way that our training went, and honestly felt like it was a super good meeting all around. I haven't loved all the zone conferences I've had on my mission, but this one was really good! Then I went with Elder Gibson down to Richland Center, this little town about an hour away for an exchange.
On Wednesday I spent most of the day on Richland Center. It was pretty fun to be out in this tiny town, there is a college there. So there's a little bit to do, but it's small in general. The college probably only has like 300 students or something like that! But yeah it was fun to be there. We were able to teach a really cool lesson to someone they have been trying to get in contact with for a while, so hopefully good things continue to happen there!
Thursday we had a good day in our area! We did our weekly planning, and had some time to get out and knock some doors. We had a lady answer the door and before we even finished telling her why we were there she invited us in, she said her and her family have been looking for a church! So that was cool, and she was out of town this weekend but we are planning on meeting with her again this coming week!
Friday we had a lot going on. We did some service at the food pantry in the morning and then we had a couple random referalls come from the Spanish sisters and one from the online system! So we tried to contact them and neither of them worked out. Then we had an appointment with our favorite people, the refugee family we are teaching! Awkwardly enough, this social worker showed up at the same time to meet with them, so next week we have a better appointment set, with some members coming that will be able to help us teach!
Saturday we had a good day! We ended up doing exchanges with the Spanish elders. They live right across the street from us, so I didn't go far, but I left to go over there and bus for the day! I was with Elder Roberts and it was a blast! We were in Madison together about 7 months ago so that was cool to have some memories!
Sunday was Easter! It was really good! We had an interesting church service... There were some brass instruments involved and that was kinda neat! Not sure how okay that is.... But it was interesting! There were some really good speakers though. So that made for an amazing meeting! We had the family of refugees come, and that was good for them to be there!
And that was pretty much my week. I hope you all had a good week! Remember the power and life that Christ brings into our lives through his resurrection. "Hope lives, because he lives"
