This was a super fun week!!
On Monday we had a Zone Turkey bowl and played football for 5 hours. It was super fun, but everyone was super sore afterwards and was limping around haha
In the evening we went out with Edward and did a bunch of stopbys. It was a blast, it's fun to be put with someone our own age because we think similarly. After our stopbys we went and taught a kid named Trevor, and he's awesome! He's a Norse pagan merged with a Christian so has some interesting beliefs haha--but he agreed with everything we said and realized just how unique we are compared to other Christians. He's excited to read the Book of Mormon, and kept saying how much it makes sense that the Bible has imperfections, He's always been taught that it's perfect.
Tuesday was fun, we had District council and afterwards we had interviews with President and Sister Seitz. They were running behind so we decided that we wanted to eat as lunch as a District but there was one problem. We only had one car, and we aren't allowed to drive the Sisters, so we came up with a brilliant plan. We let the Sisters drive it to Braums, while Elder Van Tassell and I ran on foot to it. Then we picked up the car and drove back and picked up the others! In theory it would have worked great, but then President and Sister Seitz got back on track and so we had to rush back so they had someone to interview haha--it was lots of fun.
Afterwards Elder Sartain and I went on exchanges in Plano 10 with Elder Layton, while Elder Galbraith and Elder Van Tassell went to Plano 7.
It was a great evening, we went out with Brother Bagley and taught Patsy. She's awesome haha--she basically talked for an hour with us getting in the occasional scripture. She said there's a 98000% chance she will come to church! Which is pretty good odds if you ask me.
We also may have recreated some light Saber battles when we got back perhaps.
Wednesday morning we got asked to come help the Litherland's with some service by surprise which was fun! Afterwards they took us to lunch at the Backyard and they had the best Brisket Queso I have ever had! Brother Litherland is super funny. In the evening we went out with Brother Adams and stopped by some inactive members. Afterwards we went and ate at Olive Garden with the Macklins which was awesome. We were able to give Sister Macklins nonmember Mom a lesson too which was great. It also started pouring and thundering which makes everything even more fun!
On Thursday since it was Thanksgiving we went and did a Turkey bowl at an elementary school field. It was rainy still, and super muddy so we just took off our shoes. By the time we were done we were very muddy but it was worth it! In the afternoon we went to the Boyd's for Thanksgiving which was fun cause they have 8 kids so it felt like home. We also went to Sister Sherman's for a Ukrainian Thanksgiving. Overall Thanksgiving was a great day!
Friday morning we went to Lornas and broke apart an old fence and stacked it. The Hermanas came too and we got a LOT done. It was really fun to break wood apart using hammers and crowbar! Very satisfying. It was also super overcast day so it was super nice.
In the evening we went out with Brother Colton and had some great lessons with Audrey and Adrian! Adrian is one of my favorite people, he's super cool. He has us call whenever we get home to let him know we are safe haha
On Saturday in the morning we went out with Sister Harbison and stopped by a lot of the unknown Sisters in the ward. It was great, and we got Taco Bell for lunch. In the evening we went out with Brother George and taught Patsy by showing her the 3 Nephi 18 video. She said "yes" And "amen" over and over throughout the video haha--but she really liked it.
Then we had a Facebook lesson with Sebastian and Brother George fell asleep and started snoring mid-lesson hahaha
Sunday was great, we had Prince and Patsy at church. It was Olivia Allred's homecoming talk so that was really good too. That afternoon we went over to the Letourneau's house for dinner and their house is soo nice!! We had some really good Spaghetti there, and they are super outgoing so it was a blast to eat with them.
In the evening we went out with Brother Hayes and taught Adrian and Aaron. In our lesson with Adrian he asked us each to share out experience of figuring out the Book of Mormon is true and the spirit was super strong!! He also loved Brother Hayes (as do we) and told him to come back with us to our lesson with Adrian today!
So much more happened but I don't have time so bye
