The Field is White

Monday- The only thing that really happened today is that we met a guy who wanted a debate. We bore testimony and walked away.

Tuesday- We got a few contacts in, but the majority of our time today was spent cleaning our dirty apartment. We did go out to dinner with the Kings, then went with them to see Sister Crist. We exchanged with the zone leaders, and I got a blessing for my knee. 

Wednesday- Today was the start of a really good day. Our morning kind of tanked, but after lunch, it really picked up. We taught a man named William Joseph about the Book of Mormon. He has a little trouble reading small print, so we told him we would get him a large print Book of Mormon. We then spent some time going around and trying to meet some less actives. We didn't get to sed any, but we were able to talk to a lot of people. We had dinner with Brother Greene, then went to help one of Sister King's friends move a fridge. We hurried home and got picked up by Brother Turley for a lesson. We taught a guy named Joseph Garcia and he's awesome. He says he's Christian, but he believes that we need to obey the commandments. We had a really good lesson, and afterwards, he gave us Chipotle coupons (he's a manager there). We went and taught the Pierces about family history, then went and exchanged back.

Thursday- After weekly planning and lunch, we went and taught Seth Wilson about the Law of Tithing. He said he needs to get back into it. We went and did some service for a sister in the ward, then had dinner. We went and taught a new less active named Robert Parks. He's a way good guy. He's taking care of his wife at home, so he's not able to come to church. 

Friday- District Meeting was all about increasing our faith through willing obedience to the Lord's commandments and mission rules. It was really inspiring. We went and taught William again with Brother Massey. We went and did some service for the Elders Quorum President, Brother Young, then we had dinner with the McAvoys. They are amazing. We invited them to fast and to pray for opportunities to shard the gospel, then we asked if there was anyone they would like us to fast for with them. They brought out a huge list of people they're trying to share the gospel with!!! What a blessing members are.

Saturday- Our 3 appointments in the morning bailed. As we were heading home, we started talking with this guy and we ended up just teaching him the Restoration right there. He had some really good comments. After lunch, we biked around and talked to people. We went and taught a guy named Daunte. He had met with missionaries in New York, and he is prepared. We set him for baptism on November 14th. We tried a couple of more people, then came home and waited for our friend Jim. He took us to Cafe Rio!!! The only one in the mission, and it just opened a few weeks ago!!! I was super pumped. When we got there, we saw the AP's. I got to see Elder Terril one last time!!! It was a super great night.

Cafe Rio comes to Virginia!

Sunday- Daunte came to church today. He said he really enjoyed it. He was pretty quiet until Elder's Quorum. He opened up a little bit more then. After studies and dinner, we went and biked around for a bit, then got picked up by Brother Miani for a lesson, and it was great. It was with a girl named Joy. We gave her a Plan of Salvation pamphlet before. She had read it and wanted to get baptized!!! We set her for November 14th as well.
