This was a pretty good week!

On Monday we had a great time in Allen playing chair soccer. We also ate at Torchy's which was really good! 

Tuesday we had Zone Conference, and it was super great! Probably the best Zone conference I've ever been to. We learned a lot about member work, and using the Book of Mormon. For lunch we had these really good tacos, with some of the best guacamole I've ever had! After Zone Conference we had to wait for all the new Tiwis to be installed so we ended up talking with a lot of missionaries which was super fun! In the evening we went out with Brother Faucette and stopped by a lady named Paulita, but instead of her a guy named Prince answered! We were able to give him a Book of Mormon and teach him right there which was great. Afterwards we went and taught Lee.

On Wednesday morning we went over to the Bushop's house and taught Peggy the most in-depth Plan of Salvation lesson I've ever taught! We talked with her and the Bushes for 2 hours, it was really fun! In the afternoon we did a lot of companionship calls. That evening we went out with Brother Yanelli and stopped by some members and friends. We ran into Audrey and were able to talk with her! She wants to come to church and bring some friends with her, which would be so great! Also Brother Yanelli is the funniest guy, he is constantly talking, and it's super fun.

Thursday morning we went to Minnie's Food Pantry as usual and ended up being sent out with the ZLs and Plano 6 to through tons of trash from different palets into a dumpster. So of course we couldn't let all this untapped potential go to waste!! So we quickly started thinking of many new and exciting ways to move the trash that WASN’T just us tossing it in. Many messes were made, but it only got funnier the more problems we encountered!

Friday morning we went to the Legacy building and I interviewed Catherine for baptism. She's ready! Afterwards the Faucettes took us to a restaurant called El Norte, and it was sooo good! I got a burrito and it was one of the best I've ever had. In the evening we biked down to downtown State Farm and stopped by a lot of people. Its getting dark so early now, and sometimes it will be 7:30 and people will already be in bed. Which makes no sense at all haha

On Saturday we went with the priest's and Elder's Quorums and helped de-leaf and mow Peggy's yard. It was fun and we got donuts. That night we went to President Beech's house for dinner. We had some amazing hamburgers there! We had our suspicions that President Beech had a brand new 2022 Corvette, but he made no mention of it, and his 3rd garage was closed so we weren't sure. We steered the conversation towards cars, and still couldn't get him to tell us if he had any nice cars. Finally we were able to get his wife to slip up and say he likes his new car. Which we quickly jumped on and said "what's your new car?" So he reluctantly told us and showed us his Corvette. It's soo nice haha--we also convinced him to let us take pictures with it! He was very kind to let us, cause he's a humble guy and does NOT want attention. But it was lots of fun!

Afterwards we went with Brother Morring to do stopbys, and later that night saw President Beech and his wife out driving the car around! We also got some drinks at Sonic.

Sunday we had Linda and Eleanor come to church which was good! We also did a lot of inactive member stopbys that evening. We went to an old neighborhood, and it got very dark so it was super Spooky biking to these old and sometimes abandoned houses haha--and the moon was also orange! It was really fun, especially cause the temperature couldn't have been more perfect.
