Monday was a great day! We spent the day with the Spanish elders and played some basketball! It was super warm so we spent some of the day outside and that was nice! Then we got back to our apartment and had dinner and an appointment with Steve! We taught him about the word of wisdom and he seemed to think that it would be hard, but something he was willing to try! So that was good! It started dumping rain right before we got to Steve's, and he lives downtown so we kinda got wrecked by the rain on the way in!
Tuesday was a good day as well. We had district council and it was hilarious. We all were able to laugh around and have a good time, as well as feel the spirit. It was a good meeting! Then we went on exchanges with the mad 3 elders. I went with my good ol' mtc comp elder Ewell! I love that man.
So I was with him a good majority of the day on Wednesday as well. And we tried out some bikes that they had bought a couple weeks back and we ended up riding like 14 miles 😂 that's was a little rough not gonna lie, but it was super fun! We got to visit some people that I taught back when I was in the 3rd ward! It was good to be with him!
Thursday we did our weekly planning and tried to visit quite a few people! It was a little bit rough. But we had a dinner appointment with the steels! And man they make some good food!! He made this broccoli, and wow it was delicious. I usually am not the biggest fan of broccoli, but he did some seasoning and added some cheese and I was thoroughly impressed. So that was a good end to the day! Then we had our correlation meeting with the ward peeps and it was short and sweet!
Friday we had another day with not a lot going on... So we decided to walk! Well turns out that it decided to be spring that day and rain for like 2 hours... Right when we were walking... So we got drenched!! But it was a good memory and we actually met a few people that told us we could come back!
Saturday we had a lot going on! We are trying to start getting a group of members and nonmembers together to play soccer, so we ended up being the only ones there in the morning so that was rough, hopefully we can get some people there this next week! Then we had some time to go and find and we followed up with some of the people we had met previously, nothing too exciting yet tho. Then we had a lesson with the refugees. So I always refer to them as that because their names are hard to spell and say lol. But they brought a new friend on Saturday and she said she wanted to get baptized (according to the people that could actually understand what's happening in there). So that was super cool!! Then we had a "noche de hispanidad" as a ward activity and the refugees stayed around for a little bit of that! It was super cool to see how the ward came and talked to them and it was good food and good times! They had tamales and all sorts of stuff. Sooo good!
Sunday was a great day at church! We were able to help Steve come, as well as one of the refugees, and then we met another person that was taught before that came! That was Surcuse, he is also from Africa! So then for second hour we taught him (Surcuse) the plan of Salvation and it was good!
Well that's it for my week and this is lengthy, so I hope you all have a great week!
