This week started out in darkness... literally!
And also it's the end of my second transfer already?!?!
Monday was super fun, the solar eclipse happened and were were in the path of totality so we got to see how cool it was. We watched it as a zone at one of the church buildings just outside our are and there were a lot of people who traveled from Utah. And for FHE that night we went to a really cool nature reserve/trail. It got dark half way through so that was fun. I mean it was us the sisters and 4 guys from our ward so it was a lot of fun.
Tuesday we didn't do much, our friend Damonte had his baptismal interview and he brought a friend with him. So we got to talk his friend RJ and introduce him to the Gospel! The rest of the day was great.
Wednesday was pretty busy, we had our interviews with President John and he's awesome! He even decided to shine all of our shoes!! That must if the afternoon because people were taking a long time in interviews. That night we had institute which is always fun!
Thursday was freaking awesome! We went to the temple with our Friend Colin to do proxy baptisms. He loved it, it just sucks that the temple will be closed starting Monday until the end of the semester. And of course the only way we could celebrate, we went to In n Out afterward!! Volleyball was fun as well, we had a lot of new people come this week.
Friday was also really great!! The biggest thing that happened was that our friend Damonte got baptized!!!! It was a really cool experience and he even brought 2 of his friends to watch. His friend RJ is wants to get baptized now, he says he just needs time to prepare. Afterwards we got Little Ceasers (Shoutout: Tyson Lockwood) to celebrate. Then we went to the game night at we played Uno no mercy. It was a hectic game, but I one in one turn. 🙃
Saturday was slower than the rest of the week. We did go to texas roadhouse for lunch! I never thought they had those in texas... Anyway the rest of the day was pretty chill just visited some people and had a lesson with one of our friends.
Sunday, Damonte was able to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost!! He is so elect! That really all we did Sunday... I mean the APs visited us but that's a whole other deal :(
We also were fed by a member which I'd rare! He treated us really well by smoking beef ribs for us!!
Monday was a pretty laid back day, nothing much happed. For FHE we tye-dyed some shirts which was fun!
Tuesday was also pretty chill as well. Just our two institute classes and a lesson with our recent convert Joshua!
I hope y'all have a great week!!
