Wednesday- We did some service for an elderly sister, and then she fed us!! Yeah Food.
Thursday- We did service for a less active for hours. We helped him take his purebred German Shepherd puppies to the vet to get a checkup. They are so stinkin cute!!
Friday- Exchange with Elder Friend in Gloucester. We did a lot of driving around, not much teaching. We also made cookies.

Saturday- We exchanged back. We went to a baptism for an 8 year old the Gloucester Elders were teaching (that's why we made cookies). Afterwards, we had to be their "third male" in a lesson with an investigator. We went straight from that to our appointment with Myron. We answered all of his questions and talked about faith and humility.
Sunday- Sacrament meeting was all about missionary work. The Branch mission leader, his wife, and his mom all spoke about conversion stories. Funny part. Sister Gilland (the wife) told us a story about her boss. She had told it to me and Elder Black before. Her words "He believes in the Trilogy!!!" hahahaha
She blamed me for her slip up. The talks were all really good though.
Jeremiah 16:16~ Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
When I read this, I thought of Christ's invitation to the fisherman, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19) The Lord tells us how we can become "fishers of men" or missionaries. He tells us to follow him. When we do our best to follow him, he prepares us to "hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks." Following the Savior will prepare you and qualify you to preach the gospel. You will feel the Spirit in your life as you seek out those who are prepared.
Quick Rant: For some odd reason, people out here like to call me Elder Dupont!!! They cannot grasp the concept of my name being Elder Dumont. Come on guys. It's not that hard. haha It's actually kind of funny. Love you all. Have a great week.
