Hello Family and Friends!
I hope everyone's week went well. Congrats to the USA for making it through another election and choosing a President. Thermopolis has not been shy about showing their excitement that Donald Trump is on his way to the White House haha. I'm serving in a ward and a branch. The ward split right before I showed up into the branch and new ward. It has not been very cold yet. I've been wearing short sleeved shirts haha. Thursday it's supposed to be like 30 degrees though and it's supposed to snow. Well here is my past week.
Tuesday: We went and did some service for Darlene the lady whose husband passed away. We are helping her move into her new house. After that we went and visited an investigator, Jennifer. She is a cool person. We just read the introduction of the Book of Mormon. Then we went and did service at Bishop Maddocks house. We moved his fire wood into his shed. Then we had dinner at his house.
Wednesday: today we went to the old people retirement home and visited two investigators. Bob and Veera. We play shuffle board with them every Wednesday. After we talked about the Book of Mormon. Following Bob and Veera we had 4 or 5 appointments and they all fell through, so that's kinda was terrible.
Thursday: we went and did service for this guy named Sean. We dug a 4 foot hole so he can fix some water line for his house. We taught a guy named Jerry about the Plan of Salvation. Then we visited an investigator that moved to California, but came back to town to visit. Her name is Helene. She is a cool person. We had a few appointments after and the fell through.
Friday: we had a zone training today in Lovell, WY. It's about 2 hours away from Thermopolis so it was a drive up there. Training lasted most of the day. When we got back we went to visit Bob and Veera. We watched a movie about Thomas S Monson with them. After that lesson, we went to the first counselor in the bishoprics house to have dinner with our next door neighbor Brad who is a less active. After dinner we taught a guy named lane. His sister is a member. Taught him about the Restoration.
Saturday: we helped Darlene all day today moving into her new home. Helped her till about 6. We were supposed to have 4 lessons after that, but they all cancelled.
Sunday: Lots of meetings today. We had a lesson early in the morning that fell through. Then we had ward council. Then we had church with the ward. Right after that we had branch council and then church with the branch. Then we went to the bishops house that night to talk for a bit and that was the day!
Also the church released their Christmas campaign. LIGHT THE WORLD. It was cool to see this, because when I was at the Hill Cumorah this summer the Work Crew and the Young Single Adults from the cast got a sneak peak at the hashtags the church came up with. We got to vote on the 4 hashtags and picked Light the World, so it's cool to see it unfold!! Well that was the past week. I hope all of you have great weeks!! Love and miss all of you.
Love,
