Why cant I think of what to start these with? 

We had a fun week though, every day we just had a blast.

Monday we ate at Torchy's with our district, and then played some spider ball and frisbee. We went out with Brother Bevan and Zach in the evening, and got to ride in Brother Bevan's Hellcat which was a brand new experience for both Elder Bjazevich and Zach haha--so they spent the whole night with big eyes. Especially when we tested out track mode. We had a good lesson with a recent convert family, and she has a referral for us to teach!! 

On Tuesday we went to Zone Conference and Jack came with us! He picked us up at 7:45, and then went to Zone Conference with us and stayed out until about 9:30 pm! Zone Conference was fun, got to see Elder Sauer which both Jack and I were very pleased about. We learned a lot about the reasons for why we have Key Indicators, and looked at some data to back it up. Unfortunately most people don't know how to analyze data, or account for all the variables, so their arguments didn't hold much sway for me. :) Don't get me wrong I understand the need for some of the Key Indicators, but there are a lot of other problems certain ones create too, and everyone seems to just think they are all so great haha--but yeah overall Zone Conference was good. Learned a lot about love and expectations and what God expects of us as well which was good. 

Elder Sauer gave his departing testimony and Jack and I agreed it was the best one we'd ever heard (it being the first Jack has ever heard)!

After Zone Conference we exchanged with the Greenville West Elders, and I went back to Heath with Elder Layton. Jack just stayed with us and we spent the afternoon in Garland talking to people. In the evening we had dinner with a PMF, and had some really good pizza. We also visited some referrals we had gotten from members, and then went down to Forney. 

The next day Elder Layton and I had an amazing comp study, we talked about so much! The best comp study I've had in a while. It's refreshing to talk with someone who agrees with me in almost every way haha

Then we drove up to Greenville and exchanged back, and went and I showed Elder Bjazevich how to type up the SPR! It was really fun, although there were a ton of atrocious errors in many of the reports we got from missionaries, probably even more then are in this letter! We went out with Joey Gauseman in the evening, and got to ride in his lifted truck! It's outfitted with all sorts of lights from the wheel-well lights to the flashing strobe lights on top. We went out to Garland, and ended the night with a super good lesson with Robert.

Thursday we did service, went out with Hermano Velazquez, and had an SPR meeting. So nothing extremely eventful happened, but it was still a great day! We met a guy named Korvin who was as high as a kite and probably not worth teaching but he seemed nice :)

Friday we did a bunch of weeding for Ruth and then went on exchanges with the Forney Elders. I went back to Heath with Elder Morriss, and he's a super cool guy! He is extremely talkative, so it was funny hearing about all of his shenanigans back home. We got to go out with Spencer in the evening, and taught several lessons! One of them was a lady named Celeste, and even though she was making dinner she said she needed a message right now. We also met a guy name Matthew in Rowlett who talked to us about Faith and miracles for about 40 minutes haha--he said he will come to church soon. 

On Saturday Jack took us to breakfast at Waffle House in the morning, and then we exchanged back. In the evening we went to Alejandra's grad party because she said she would have a nonmember there for us to teach!! It was super cool, his name is Umberto. We talked with him for a while and he's interested in coming to church! Also got to talk with a bunch of others there, and eat some good food! It was really fun. Talked to a girl named Penny too who's inactive but had lots of good advice about Study Abroad!

Sunday was good we had dinner with the Bergs, Forscutts, and Rojas! We also went out with Jovanni and met some people in Royse City who want to come back to church.
