Transfer 16 Week 1

This week was pretty good!

Monday was Pday as usual. We were able to knock some doors in the evening and we were actually able to talk to a lot of people! We met this really nice lady named Holly, who had seen our church building earlier that day and wondered who went there and then later that night we knock on her door! Pretty funny. It was a good day though

Tuesday was a day full of contacting and visiting people. We did some Park Contacting in the Morning, not many people were outside as it was very windy. We knocked some doors after that and were able to meet this really nice lady named Trudy, who said we could come back and this guy named Josh who invited us to come back on Friday. After knocking doors and visiting various other people we went to Dusty's Ukulele class. That was fun as always, being able to pluck around on a Uke while fellow shipping a less active. Good times. After Uke class we went over to Brother Jacobsons for Sister Bizeaus daughters birthday party. We had cake and ice cream and were entertained with various election night info and what not. We finished off the night there.

Wednesday morning we woke up to the News that Trump had one the Election. Big Surprise. Later in the morning we helped out at the Soup Kitchen, spirits weren't too high there and there were a lot more people than normal there. We went about the day as normal. At one particular door, we were talking about the Restoration with an older lady. We got to prayer, and how we could know the truthfulness of our message through prayer, she went on to say "Well God didn't answer my prayer..  Donald Trump won!" then she nicely shut the door on us. Pretty funny in all honesty.. hah Jill and Joseph had to cancel our appointment this week as Jill was sick. However we were able to have a really good lesson with this lady named Stephanie. We saw her with Brother Berry. We taught her the Restoration and committed her to a soft bap date, meaning that if she got her answer she would be baptized.. We ended off the night with that lesson.

Thursday we were able to have a really good weekly planning session. Sherry had to cancel her appointment because she was feeling under the weather. We spent a lot of the day knocking doors as usual and were able to meet some nice people like Travis and Joe. Decent day.

Friday we were able to have a good lesson with Sister Kirchner in the morning. We shared a General Conference talk which we felt could really help her out. I think the lesson went well. The rest of the day we spent visiting a ton of people that we haven't seen in a while and followed up with a bunch of people we had knocked into in the past. We were able to set up a lot of appointments for the future which is good.

Saturday we went over and helped Sister Kirchner rake the remainder of her leaves in the morning. It's always good to get out of the white shirts and ties.. We did some knocking on some doors in Gladstone and Escanaba. There's not much to do other than that when you have nothing else going on.. We stopped by Sherry and Joseph and Jill as well, seeing how they were doing, setting up more appointments and what not. It was a good day.

Sunday we had church, which was really good. Finished up some studies after wards and then stopped by more people. We were able to meet this really nice lady named Lora who had just moved in less than a week ago. She recently became really good friends with a Mormon and is really interested in us coming back in a couple weeks. We'll have to see how that goes. We saw Josh in the evening and then finished off our night with Dinner!

It was a really good week! Lots of finding, but its become fun being able to meet various people all day. Next week is going to be really hectic as tonight were driving down to Green Bay! I'll link some pictures that I took on Elder Hills Film Camera he has let me borrow the past month or so. I was able to get them developed this week.

Hope you all have a good week as well!
