Elder Bryce Thompson: 3/17/2025 Week 62- broken pipes and a Baptism

Monday we had our zone pday which was super fun, I pulled out the wiffle ball bat and played. It was in the gym so wasn't too crazy but I did slide around a bunch scoring some runs 🤓. Ended the night with a really good lesson with Dawn!

Tuesday we had our zone council and got to learn all about being inconvenienced in missionary work and pushing through and talking to everyone and ministering to them. Then afterwards we started an exchange with the AP's!! Elder Holmes joined us and we learned a bunch from him. We measured out for one of the service projects I get to take on :) Made some visits and that's about it!

Wednesday we got to go to Fort Worth it exchange back and that was a lot of driving. Then we went over with the young men and helped move some gravel and dig some holes!

Thursday we started off by going to Granbury to help open up a new apartment for missionaries. We were helping out the Haslam's who were in the FW YSA with me so that was so much fun!! Had some great lessons then we headed down to Stephenville for another exchange! We drove a total of about 5 hours. But no worries because I get to drive!

Friday was so much fun!! Elder Hokanson and I were together here in WF and we started on a service project for our friend Dawn. We're rebuilding a fence for her as well as building a ramp so she can walk to her chicken easier!! Good thing I've rebuilt our fence a couple times with my dad! We jammed our frontier full of materials which was definitely a challenge!!

Saturday was Blaze's baptism and let's just say to start the day off we experienced a bunch of water... not the kind we wanted. We were digging a hole for a post when Elder Straw hit a water pipe and it started leaking 🫣. Not to worry though. After like 10 walks around the house we found the water cut off and started fixing it. Then after 2 trips to Home Depot I was able to fix the pipe. You can call me a master plumber 😎. Ok after all of that craziness we witnessed Blaze making her first covenant with God!!!

Sunday was a special day because Dawn MADE IT TO CHURCH!!! She was able to partake of the sacrament and it was so cool for her! I also got to bless the sacrament for the first time in a while and that was a sacred experience for me :) Sunday's are always the best!!
