This week has been great! On Tuesday we had district meeting. We focused on helping people keep commitments and on teaching the commandments inside the first 3 lessons. After district meeting we went and tried to see a couple of people but they were not home. That evening we went to go see a lady named Ruby. On the way there we passed this family and I was like "I should give them a card". Well we went to see Ruby and she wasn't home so we decided we would see if we could find that family that was walking around. We saw them and tried to make it as non-awkward as possible to give them a card since we had driven by them at least 3 times. We gave them a card and they were hesitant at first but then we got their names and set up a time to go see them. The mom's name is Tamara and the daughter is Brekerriya. On Wednesday we were going to go on exchanges but the Lakeland elders couldn't get a ride so we didn't do that. Instead we went around and saw quite a few people. We were walking in the only shady neighborhood in Marion and this car was stopped at a stop sign. They leaned out the window and asked if we were Mormons. We said yes and walked over to tell them about our church. They said they had a friend in the church. We asked them who and they said Shyanne Butcher. We talked for a little and set up another time to come back. Her name was Dynasty. That night we went to mutual and played volleyball. It was lots of fun. On Thursday not much happened but that night we went and saw Tamara. She was busy with family problems but we briefly taught her the first lesson and gave her a Book of Mormon. Friday was Elder Fredette's b-day. Well during the day we went and saw Dynasty and her twin sister Destiny. We also taught their cousin, TK. It was a good lesson and Dynasty had been taught before so it was a good refresher for her. They said they would come to church sometime. That night we wen to the Soto's for dinner. We then went to the Anderson's and they fed us Taco Bell. After the Anderson's we went to the Orey's and they had cake for Fredette's b-day. It was a fun day. On Saturday we saw Noland. He is really busy. Then that evening we went to the adult session of stake conference. It was really good and they talked a lot about hastening the work. On Sunday we went to stake conference and it was really good. President and Sister Petersen spoke and they talked about how much they have learned and how they are going home soon. It was good. That evening we went to the Teeters and had a good visit with them.
That's about it for my week. Hope y'all have a great week. Thanks for all y'all do. I love and pray for y'all.
