Sorry I forgot to send an email last week.
Tuesday- President Baker wanted me to go on an extended exchange with the zone leaders. It would last the rest of the transfer, so he wanted me to pack all of my bags. I spent all day packing.
Wednesday- I was with Elder Aitken and Elder Cameron. We taught a couple of lessons. President Baker gave us a new number to track and that's I/Os. It's invitations extended to nonmembers and noninvestigators. It's just to get us to talk to more people. We did that for a while. We went to a place called New Town and just walked around the shops and talked with people.
Thursday- We had "afternoon tea and krumpets" with a super sweet member family. Kind of did the same thing as Wednesday.
Friday- We had dinner with the funnest family ever. After dinner we played a couple of good FHE games. It was a blast. We then had a lesson with the most golden investigators ever. They are engaged. The guy kept using the term "we" and "us" when describing the church. They're so awesome.
Saturday- We had a lot of stuff fall through. We had 100 I/Os through the rest of the day (the standard of excellence) and we thought, why not get 200. The record was 130ish. That night, we got 81 I/Os!!! We set the record that night. We got transfer calls and I'm going to Roanoke Rapids to be with Elder Fullerton. I'm excited about going back to North Carolina!!
Sunday- We did a lot of walking around and we totally broke 200 I/Os. Shattered the record. We were teaching a member family, and their little daughter was behind us, and she totally farted really loudly. It was so hard to keep a straight face haha.
