This week... hasn't exactly been my
best week ever. It was hard, cold, unmotivating, discouraging, and
distracting. I'm trying so hard not to be, but I'm trunked out of my
mind right now, and it's pretty much the worst thing ever. It's been
excessively hard to motivate myself (and my comp...) to work a dead area
knowing that I have so little time left.
But this week has had it's good parts as well.
We
were able to really help out the older couple that is in pretty poor
physical condition by cleaning out and rearranging a cluttered office
into a temporary bedroom so that they will be able to stay more warm
(because the heat from their wood burning stove funnels down the hall
into that room) and now they're super close to a bathroom, as well as
super close to the garage, so now they'll be able to be much more
mobile, and the husband won't have to maneuver his way through hardly
any stairs on his crutches. They haven't been able to make it to church
for quite a few weeks now because of his injury, but they were able to
come yesterday because we helped them out with this. At least that's
what they said. So that was a cool experience.
The
other Elders in my district gave us some excitement last Monday. So
most of the way through P-day, the mission office called me asking for
these Elders' numbers, because they didn't enter them in, and they
weren't answering their phone. The senior Sister at the office seemed
kind of worried that they weren't getting back to her or anything, so
she asked us to see what we could do to get in contact with them. So to
make a long story short, by the end of the night, everyone from the zone
leaders to the Sisters in that ward to their ward mission leader got
involved before we finally got a hold of them. Turns out, they just
forgot to enter their numbers, and they didn't hear or think to check
their phone for something like 7 hours.
Pretty dang exciting :P
New
Years was good. Pretty uneventful, but still pretty good. At night time
we drank some sparkling cider, played a game, and then I went to bed 30
minutes early :)
Yesterday was my last fast Sunday as a missionary, so I took the opportunity to bear my testimony. It was nothing crazy, but I'm glad I did.
Anyways, thanks for reading.
