Sorry, My Bad!

Tuesday- We had a pretty busy morning. We taught a lady named Dawn and she is solid. She loved the Restoration. We then went and taught another lady with Brother Anderson, but she wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as Dawn. After Lunch we went and talked to a bunch of people, but didn't have much success. 

Wednesday- We went and took a survey thing in the morning. We tried stopping by a bunch of people, but no one was home. We went and did service for a member family with the other Hampton Elders, Elder Ray and Elder Ballantyne. We cleaned up their back  yard. There was a ton of junk back there. We carted everything out to the curb for them, then we had dinner with the Ganuza's. There son is so funny. He stood right in front of us and pooped his pants. He is such a funny kid, I love him. The Ganuza's are super great.

Thursday- We did our weekly planning, then tried to contact a bunch of people, but no dice. We biked clear to downtown for a cancelled appointment, but it was worth it. Downtown Hampton is way sweet. We saw Brother Green, then had dinner. We tried to set up a lesson in a member's home, but it fell through. We're going to try again tomorrow. We went and saw Brother Pochop. We talked about prayer and it was a way good lesson. The more time I spend over there, the more I grew to love and respect him. 

Friday- We had district meeting today and stuff. We got a member present miracle. We're were going to teach one of our less actives, and one of our investigators was there, so we taught both of them. We then went to the Wade's house and taught the Plan of Salvation. We focused on their 8 year old. He had a ton of questions. I love that kid. We went to the ward fish fry that night and had a grand ole time. 

Saturday- We introduced the Book of Mormon to Dawn and she loved it. I think she thanked us for bringing it to her 8 times at least. She is so prepared. We got transfer calls. I'm getting another shot at training!!! I'm super stoked. We went and saw Brother Walker. We had the adult session of stake conference and it was super great. I got to see a lot of the New Kent Brothers: Brother Chrisofferson, Brother Baird, Brother Turner, Brother Rivord, Brother Fairbanks President and Sister Hansen, and President Johnson. I miss New Kent so much. Stake conference was interesting. They used a website to do a live poll, then the stake presidency based their talks around the results.

Sunday- We had an hour before we had to leave for Stake conference, so we went and taught a lady and her husband. We talked to a bunch of people on the way there and back. Stake conference was super great again. The biggest thing I got out of it is the importance of yielding to the Spirit. I defined yielding as: slow down, pause, look, listen, discern, act. Those are 6 things that I need to do better at, and I'm confident that if I do these 6 things, I'll be able to be led by the Spirit more. We had dinner and coordination at the Turleys, then we went to see the Pierces.

It was hot and humid most of the week, but it's cooled off. I'm so glad we're in the car this week. Love you all. Have a great week.
