Tuesday- I had a district leader call, and then I had a mission leadership call, and then we had deep clean. We squeezed a lesson in with our neighbor Tony. We had a lesson with Joey about the Plan of Salvation and temples and family history. It was super good. We had dinner with the McMahon's.
Wednesday- We had quite the adventure today. Brian McMahon picked us up and took us down to Grandy. We saw Sister Reedy and shared a short message with her. Brian dropped us off at the food pantry and we were there for a couple of hours. We had a ride arranged, but that fell through, so we were on foot until dinner. We saw Sister Cartwright and tracted. Brother Hamilton picked us up and took us to his house for dinner. Poor Sister Hamilton was sick, but managed to make us a fine southern feast of pork bbq, baked beans, and eclair cake. That woman is my hero ha ha.
Brother Hamilton came out with us and we saw Kim. We talked about praying in and for our families a little bit. We then had to do a split. Elder Davis went with the Needhams to teach the Harvley's, and I went with Brother Hamilton to a couple of other appointments. They both fell through, but we had a good time just talking and getting to know each other. We picked up Elder Davis and went home.
Thursday- After weekly planning, we had another lesson with Joey. We went over the baptismal interview questions with him. He seems all good to go. Jacob took us out afterwards and we went and saw Lonnie. He was in a better mood, relatively speaking, today. We talked more about the Book of Mormon. We tried to visit a few others, but no luck. We had dinner with the Packer's. They're still the best. Brother and Sister Packer took us to Book of Mormon class and it was so good!!!
Friday- We had a great zone meeting about planning and finding. I got a ton out of it. We grabbed lunch at Firehouse Subs (Thank you Jessie) and went straight to our appointments. First was Brother Connell. He's this really old Scottish guy and he's a hoot. After that we went and saw Mike Harris. That was an interesting Restoration lesson to say the least. We had dinner with the Estes's, and then went home teaching with Brother Estes. We went and saw the Smith's, and I love the Smiths. They're the best.
Saturday- We went to Grandy. Brother Smith met us there and we went and saw Gabbie. We listened to part of Sister Stephan's talk from last conference. Mainly her power struggle with her grand daughter. It was funny, because while we were listening to the talk, Gabbie was having a power struggle with her nephew ha ha. We tried to see some more people around Grandy, but no luck. We did see Sister Cartwright again. We drove home and waited for the Smith's to pick us up for dinner and stake conference. We had dinner at this Japanese place and had some legit Japanese soda. You had to pop this glass ball to get it opened. It's hard to explain. Stake Conference was sooo good. Elder Wilson of the Seventy was there. Afterwards, the Smith's took us to Arby's for ice cream.
Sunday- The Harvley's drove us today. I got to see Elder Ward for the first time since August!!! It was another great session. Several people bore their testimonies about finding God. We came home and started studies, then went and saw Brother Hulet. We stayed in his neighborhood and contacted former investigators. We got some referrals from one man and one of them seems super promising. We got a lot of appointments set up. We had dinner with Sister Nixon, Nick Johnson, and the Smith's.
Life is good. Love you all. Have a great week.
Elder Dumont
