Brrrrrr is right, happy 13 degree high temperatures today!!!! (Ick)
Anyhow, this week has been going well, Wednesday we finished up everything we needed to do, went over and read from the Book of Mormon with Alex, then went to Bro. Barrett's for correlation meeting. It went really well, we got the ward mission plan more organized as well as all of our information, and we consolidated everything down for him. Unfortunately, this took forever, so we got back really really late.
Thursday we pretty much spent the entire day at the apartment, as we did studies, lunch, then weekly planning all in a row, and then Elder Wang was getting majorly flu-ish, so he took another nap. We finally left the apartment at around 5, went to the 15th St. chapel, taught a lesson with Joseph, then went home again and Elder Wang went to sleep. I did a bit more studies and made some dinner, then went to bed as well.
Friday we finished up weekly planning, did a little online proselyting, Elder Wang took another nap, then we went and taught a lesson to Isaac, then we went to a dinner for the Young Men (on the way we taught a man named Israel on the bus), and we ate and played some basketball. Parker was there (the Chinese investigator who came to church a couple weeks back), so that was good and we got to talk with him. After that we went home, and Elder Higbee gave Elder Wang some Nyquil.
The next day the Nyquil worked a little too well, so Elder Wang was extremely tired and slept a ton. We tried to meet with a contact that the ZLs had made, but she wouldn't respond, so we went back home and Elder Wang slept some more. We then went and did service for a guy named Marcus (helped install a ceiling fan), and while Elder Higbee and Wang worked on that, ELder Potter and I taught him the Restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon to read from, and he says he'd definitely be baptized if he finds that it is true! After we finished, we went to a dinner at Sister Barker's house (nummy pork sandwiches), and then we went home.
Sunday was a typical day, having ward council then church, Isaac and Parker both came to church which was really cool, and both actively participated in gospel principles. After church we went to go visit Maria and Kevin, but they weren't home (Kevin came to the Young Men's night as well). On the way there, we got to talk with a couple of members, and you'll never believe it. One of them knows/knew Roland! His name is Adam, and he lived in Portland growing up, and says he even babysat for them once when Alexander, Martin, and Karsten were still little. It was really fun to talk to someone who knows someone I know. We then were going to go to the Cannon's for dinner, but they couldn't have us over so they ordered us food, so we went home and had some very tasty quesadillas.
Monday we had district meeting, then we did our studies, then prepared our online event for Tuesday, went and did some lookups (found one that was YSA age, so we passed her to the ZLs), had dinner, did a few more lookups, then went home.
Yesterday, we had a leadership meeting, so I got to play a lot of ping pong, then we went and did some online proselyting, went and visited the contact the ZLs gave us again (her name is Yasmine, and we got to have a prayer with her this time at least), and then we had our online event on Family History. It went really well, we had around 10 people there, and we helped them get set up on familysearch, and how to use it as well as indexing, and talked about why we do family history. We had lessons with Marcus and Isaac planned as well, but they both bailed on us last minute, so we're meeting with Isaac today, and with Marcus on Thursday.
Today has been pretty uneventful, outside of coming here, so yeah. Hope you all have a great week, one week till training/transfer calls! (I won't have found out when I email, but I'll find out that day). Hope you are all healthy and happy and all that good stuff. See you next week!
