This week flew right on by here in Madison! We had a whole lot of busy stuff going on. So it was fun! We were able to teach Steve and he came to church with two of his kids, it was the best part of the week for sure to see them come!
Monday we had a super fun p day. We did our normal morning routine where we went shopping and did our laundry. We basically had the rest of the day to go and hang out at the church. So we played some basketball, volleyball, and then just kinda chilled. It was nice to go and just have a day to relax. Sometimes I just forget that it's okay to relax and over work myself, so it was a good day!
Tuesday we had our interviews with President Williams and we had an exchange with the assistants. They both came and worked in out area. And I was with Elder Wilcox. He is a really good dude and we had a good time! We were able to teach Steve and had a member come along with us. Steve is probably to coolest guy I have ever taught. He just has so much desire to change his life and become better. We taught him about the plan of Salvation and he loved it. We are hyped! So Tuesday was overall a really good day!
Wednesday we didn't so a whole lot. So elder Blackburn had a stomach bug that made it painful for him to do much. He's feeling better now, but he needed some rest on Wednesday. We went to the couple return appointments we had set up, and that was all. It was weird to sit around all day and not have a lot to do...
Thursday we were able to get out and have a good time working. Then we had a really fun dinner appointment where we ran around in the backyard and ate outside! It was a little cold... But it still made it feel like Spring! It was fun! Then we had our correlation meeting and did an exchange with the Mad 3 elders and I got to go back to my old stompin grounds in the 3rd ward!
Friday I was in the 3rd ward all day and it was a blast! I got to see a couple of the people I was working with while I was there. And we did some service and then had a good dinner at this restaurant called Jason's deli. 10/10 would recommend! It is delicious, kinda like zupas, but has free ice cream so better!
Saturday was a little bit crazy! We had a lot of time that we had to call our zone. We have this meeting with the stake president where we have to know all about the recent converts in the wards so we just called all the zone to talk about them. Then we had our studies and a couple appointments that fell through so we did some finding. We had a dinner appointment and that was good! It is really fun to be in this ward because a lot of the members are grad students and have some little kids that are hilarious to play with!
Sunday we had a really good Sacrament meeting and Steve and 2 of his kids came! Steve said he really liked it, and his kids seemed to enjoy it too! One of his kids wouldn't go to class because he was scared so while we were in class, one of my comps was coloring and playing tic tac toe with him, it was pretty cool!
Well that's a recap of my week! Little bit of a spiritual thought for you all, I was reading the beginning of the Book of Mormon, and I was reading about Nephi building the boat. He says "I went to the mount oft to pray". I think sometimes I think that he prayed once and got the blueprints and had it all, but he had to take it one step at a time and go to God after all the steps. So if we want to accomplish something in life, remember God will help, it will probably just be one step at a time! But he will help!
Love you all, have a great week!
