Monday was my 22 Month mark. Crazy. We had a normal Pday and then around 6 we helped Brother DePaul move the Manger for a good sized nativity set outside the church. After setting it in position to get decorated by some sisters we went out to KFC with Brother DePaul. After the food we stopped by some people trying to follow up on their Book Of Mormon reading as it was raining pretty hard.
Tuesday we had District Meeting and since it was the last district meeting of the transfer we went out and took some pics on the pier by the bay. I'll link some pics at the bottom of the email. After district meeting I went on an exchange with Elder Schoenfeld in Escanaba. We had a really busy night full of appointments, however every single one of them fell through so we had a cool time tracting.. We actually were able to meet some really cool people though and get some return appointments.
Wednesday we helped out at the soup kitchen in the morning. We had to leave a bit early though to make it to another appointment, which.. fell through. After knocking more doors we were able to help out Sister Marunde with some things as she is moving to Florida. We were able to use our truck and move some dressers to another persons house. After our service we exchanged back and then Elder Hill and I had a really good lesson with Jill and Joseph. We read Mosiah 1: 3-7 with them and talked about the importance of Reading the scriptures. Jill is still cruising through the Book of Mormon, things are going great with them.
Thursday we helped out Sister Marunde for a little bit in the morning and then did some weekly planning. We had appointments that day but they all fell through as well.. We were able to knock more doors and actually find some pretty interested people that we set return appointments with. Hopefully those will go through..
Friday we did our monthly service at St Vinnys helping them collect hangers. Later in the day we had a good lesson with Sherry. We were able to finish the families and temples pamphlet with her, brother DePaul came as well and it was a really good lesson. After that, another lesson fell through and then we spent more time knocking doors and stopping my various people.
Saturday we helped out Sister Marunde for the final time as she took off for Florida that night. We loaded up our truck with a bunch of her junk that needed to go to the dumb and we hauled it over there for her. That was fun.. as the dump had 0 signs so we had nooo idea where to go.. we eventually figured it out though.. Later in the day we had 2 more appointments fall through as they weren't home and so we.. knocked more doors. Nothing else to do when those things happen! In the evening we saw Brother Jacobson which is always awesome.. We went outside and lit off a flare! Just so he could show us.. hahah
Sunday was church. Which was nice as always.. After church we finished our studies and then went to go visit some less actives. Our appointment with the Gentz family... fell through, and so we were able to knock more doors! with little success.. Later in the evening the branch had a get together to sing carols and eat cookies before the Christmas Devotional. It was a great get together and a great devotional.
Hopefully next week our appointments will go through and we'll actually be able to do some more teaching! None the less, it was a great week.
Elder Stevens.
