Elder Bryce Thompson: 9/2/2024 Re: Week 34- did I go swimming???

Ok so this week wasn't as chaotic as last week but hey, it was still awesome!

Monday we went pawning for a little while and then we went and played baseball again. At least for a little while then we ended up playing wiffle ball!! Our team won obviously... For FHE there was some cool presentations on science stuff like radios and oobleck.

Tuesday we got to go to the temple!!! One of the new members-Ernest... not really new he's been a member for 10 months, anyway it was his first time so we go to proxy baptisms with him and it's so awesome!!! He absolutely loved it and said he can't wait to go again!! Had a lesson with our friend Braylon who is so cool!! Ended the day with volleyball!

Wednesday we had DC and spent only a little time on campus but we got to talk to a member that goes there but us in a different ward! Anyway, for young men's they went swimming(we obviously didn't) and well our Bishop also does a polar plunge so I asked him to set it up for me! Stayed in for 33 minutes, it wasn't too bad. After all that we had dinner with a member!!

Thursday we got to be on campus the whole day, we didn't find as many people as we did last week but we did find a few people that wanted ro meet up again!! Campus can be really tough sometimes but also super fun! Got to go to institute that night as well!!

Friday we had a few lessons, one with Omar who is preparing to be baptized this coming Saturday! He's so amazing. For dinner we got to go to a really good Italian place.

Saturday we got to help a friend pick out a bunch of fabric colors for his quilt... don't ask why he needed our help idk. It was a lot of fun though, and he took us to Texas Roadhouse afterward too 🙃. Then we just did a bunch of driving around visiting people!

Sunday was so filled with miracles. We show up to church at 9am and meet this new guy. We talk to him for a bit before church and tells us his conversion story so we ask him afterward if wants to move his records to our ward and well he let us know that he hasn't been baptized yet but was supposed to. So in that moment, we invited him to be baptized!!! He is preparing for September 21st!! It's so crazy how God puts people in the right place!
