So on Monday we had p day, and the stake center was closed so we chilled with our district at our building. Played some basketball and had a good time!
Tuesday we had our last district council of the transfer, and it was a good one! We talked about how we can do a better job finding, and that was super good and motivating for me! We also had an appointment with Steve! It was a little bit rough because we talked to him about probation and how you can't be baptized until after that period of time is over. He is on probation until 2021, so it will be a while. I was surprised with his attitude towards it, and he is hoping to still come and prepare himself for that time in a couple years. He was asking us what he had to do to be baptized, and it was sad to see his reaction when now he can't for a little while.
Wednesday we went to Dodgeville, like an hour away. And we visited their district council and then had exchanges with the elders from Platteville, which is like another hour away. So I went to Platteville for the first time! It was a cool little college town, and we talked to some college kids while playing basketball with them! That was fun!
Thursday we went and helped a member out, and met some of his friends. We were at a really cool piece of land this member owns, and he had some friends over helping him as well that we were able to talk to! It was a good place, and good times! We then drove back to Dodgeville to meet up with my comps. When we got back together we had a return appointment for someone that I had never met, and it was hilarious. This guy comes out and asks elder Blackburn to share a message with him. So he starts to talk about the restoration and points to the pamphlet that he had in his hand. The guy then cuts him off and says, do it without the book. Well we hadn't even opened the book.... So elder Blackburn starts saying stuff again and this guy just won't stop interrupting him. It was really funny, now that I type it, it sounds lame, but it was funny I promise 😂
Friday we had MLC so we were in Oshkosh pretty much the entire day. We stopped on the way back at a place called the Wild Good Cafe. I had a sandwich called the honker, and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. But yeah it was a little place in the middle of nowhere and there were a ton of old people that stared at us the whole time we were there. Classic Wisconsin diner tho, and it was good!
Saturday we had a pretty normal day, except for conference!! So in reality we didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything else. It was some amazing sessions of conference though! I loved so many of the talks given. I think that this has been my fav conference of my life that I remember. The spirit was strong in every talk given. I loved all of it. That goes for Sunday as well. It was a good time!
I'll encourage you all to listen to Elder Uchtdorf's talk about missionary work again because that is exactly what we try to teach people to do every time we go to their house! He nailed it on the head in my opinion. So read it, then listen to the spirit tell you what you can do, and then do it! It will bless your life immensely! Love you all, have a great week!
