5/27/24 Week 20- Small Towns and Hour Drives

 his week has gone by so fast...all the days have been starting to blend together.

Monday was a lot fun!! Like last week we played baseball except this time it wasn't muddy. We also had 6 people again which is very interesting, but it was still fun regardless. For FHE we ended up playing some cards while the rest of the ward watched Princess Bride. 

Tuesday was district council, its always interesting being there's only 6 of us. But I like our district a lot. Other than that we taught the institute class again. It's too bad there's four of us teaching it, I would love to teach it all myself, but hey that's alright.

Wednesday we had interview with President John. I love him so much!!! We did a walking interview this time which was really cool. After lunch we decided to drive to a small town about an hour northwest and do some finding there and well we made 3 new friends!! It's crazy how much God can magnify our efforts!! Ok and the drive there was so beautiful.  AND I found a really cool old wooden plane at an antique store that I had to get. 

Thursday we had lessons with our friends Michael and Tyler! They are so awesome. Michael is getting baptized the 8th and Tyler volunteered to play the violin for it!!! We also prepared for our last institute class which was fun and I'm gonna miss teaching the class :( That's about it, other than volleyball. 

Friday we had a really cool lesson with our new friend Keathon! The rest of the day we drove to Nocona (another hour away) and knocked one of the apartments there and taught some really cool lesson with people we just met!! Southern hospitality is so real, I love it!! 

Saturday was a pretty normal day we just drove around to a bunch of contacts. We also stopped by an elementary school fair and bought some lemonade!! 

Sunday was a lot different than most Sundays. We had church like normal but there were some tornados that hit the night before so we went out and helped. It was so awesome to see that amount of people that gather together to help out during natural disasters!!!
