This week was pretty good. Monday was PDay where we woke up, did our normal morning routine, then went to the Library to email. It had started to snow while on the way to the Library. By the time we were done emailing there was about 4 inches of snow on the road.
We had plans to drive to Madison to spend the day with the Mad 3 Elders but that was canceled due to the terrible roads.. We almost died many times.. Our car is SOO bad in the snow.. (we didnt almost die but yea.) We decided to go to a Chinese restaurant to wait out the storm but it never stopped.. haha It stunk that our Pday plans were ruined but messing around in the snow was fun. We ended up getting like 10 inches. By Tuesday morning the roads were all plowed and we were able to go down to Madison for district meeting.
We had DTM, then our dinner appointment canceled so the sisters pulled through and gave us a Free Lil Caesar's Pizza Coupon. That was great. We spent the rest of the day tracting and contacting.
Wednesday started out with us baking cookies for the old folks at their assisted living place, that was fun because we also went around to their individual rooms to bring them to the 'cookie cafe'. We were able to to talk with them a lot more that way.
Wednesday night, since our dinner appointment happened to cancel again, we were able to help Brother Gillett give his first ever blessing as a priesthood holder. He gave his wife a blessing and it was really special. Thursday was spent planning, tracting and contacting. Same with Friday.
On Saturday we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I was with Elder McDermott, we were able to teach scott in the morning which went very well. Later on that day, we went with Brother Andrew to Reedsburg to contact some investigators and less actives which went very well. We were able to get a Return Appointment with this very nice lady who happens to know a lot of members in the ward.
Later that night we were supposed to have dinner with the Gilletts but Brother Gillett decided to go somewhere before we got there and took way too long to get back. So we weren't allowed to be inside alone with Sister Gillett. We just stood outside, sliding on an ice patch talking for an hour and a half waiting for Brother Gillett to get home. We eventually had to go re exchange so we had to leave on an empty stomach. It was actually a really funny situation.
On Sunday we had church, met with Brother Andrew finalizing the ward open house tour logistics and had a great Dinner with the Jones and a new family that moved into the ward the Ganders!
It was a pretty good week.
One thing we shard this week was Moroni 7: 26-29 and we just talked about how miracles have not ceased! Just focusing on all the blessings and miracles God has given you and to be thankful for them and to count your blessings (name them one by one.. hah)
This morning Brother Andrew asked if we wanted to go see the sunrise on top of Devils lake, so we woke up and rode with him to go. It was so Beautiful!
Anyways Hope you all have a good week. Love you all!
