Training in Hampton

It's been a pretty crazy week this week.

Found a new bike helmet for Elder 

Tortirici

Tuesday- We had Elder Ray with us. Trio party!! We went and taught Sheena and Marcus the Book of Mormon. They absorbed it pretty well. We went tracting a little later on and were able to teach a lady named Andrea. We went and had dinner with the Walkers, then went and saw the Christopher's, a less active family. 

Wednesday- I had to be down in Portsmouth at 9 for a meeting, so we had to leave pretty early. President Baker met with Trainer's first and just talked about his expectations for us. He then welcomed the Greenies into the room. My new companion is Elder Heagy from Farmington, Utah. He just graduated from high school last year, so he's super fresh. We went home and did our first companionship study, then went and saw Brother Greene. We had a couple of appointments cancel, so we tracted haha. We had dinner with Brother King, then went to try to contact a couple of people. As we were on our way to contact someone, we started talking to a guy named Melvin. He's a really cool guy. We taught him the Restoration, but we had to leave a couple of things out because of his beliefs. It was a good first lesson though.

Thursday- We had weekly planning and stuff. We ended up doing quite a bit of tracting. After we had dinner, we went and saw Chris Nelson. We had a really good talk about the Atonement. I love that guy.

Friday- We had district meeting, and we got two more companionships in our district, the Zone Leaders and the Sister Training Leaders. We role played giving a church tour, so that was a lot of fun. We went and saw the Wade's and talked about the stake Book of Mormon reading. They're so willing to improve and get better. I love them. On our way to the Walker's, a car in front of us started having problems. We didn't know what to do, so we just sat there and talked with the guy, you know moral support and stuff. We went to the Walker's and really helped Brother Walker out. He was kinda bummed when we got there, but he perked right up by the end of the lesson. 

Saturday- We went and did a day of service at Fort Monroe. It was a stake activity. It was way fun, and we got a picture by the bay. We had lunch, then went and did studies. We had dinner, then tried to contact some people but didn't have any luck.

Sunday- Church was really good today. We had a new family move in, so that's big. After church we had a correlation meeting, then we had studies. We went to try to teach a guy, but he wasn't home. We did get yelled at by the apartment manager. He told us to stop soliciting? Anyway, we had dinner with the Browns and they are so funny. Sister Brown kept feeding her baby an acocado , and the baby did not like it, but he kept eating it. We went and tried to contact some less actives, but didn't have much success. However, after one of them, we went and talked to a guy and taught him the Restoration. He's a way good guy. 

Elder Heagy's a stud. I love training. I love life. I love my friends. I love my family. And most of all, I love my Savior. Have a good week.
