I forgot my planner. I'm also staying in Brenham for a 5th transfer.
This email might be rough without it. I packed my planner away because I was
done with it...And forgot that I had to write y'all. My apologies.
Monday night we had dinner with the Jensen's. Bro Jensen was still at
work and So we had dinner with Sis Jensen and their daughter who's home from
school. I'm not sure what else we did.
Tuesday it kinda warmed up...not really. We did some tracting in the
afternoon and met with Jordache. We went over scripture study with him. then we
headed to dinner at the Carlile's...STIR FRY!! YUM!
Wednesday we met with Alma. It was great to meet with her as always.
Then we went to Tricia's for lunch and a lesson with Sis Carlile. It was great!
after the bread almost exploded and a bunch of laughs later we were able to make
some more headway with her as we explained scripture study. :) That afternoon we
went to Kruze for service and did some finding until mutual where we were able
to help teach about the importance of journal writing focusing on the
scriptures...see a trend going on?? It was really great to be able to study
about journaling through Nephi's eye's.
Thursday was weekly planning and finding and going to Gazebo to help
with nails. We had an awesome conversation with Nettie. After we had dinner with
the Llewellyn's and got to hear about how their family became their family.
ALSO!! Aunt Barbara, you'd be happy to hear that Sis Llewellyn made me a jar of
sauerkraut. It was pretty great!! Sports night was that night and Bro Gordon
showed up. So we all played basketball
Awesome picture right?? and I made that shot :)
Friday we had a lot of car riding. We had district meeting and then
lunch. Then we went to College Station for a YSA conference/Training for all
missionaries who would be working on college's and with YSA's. Then we had to
book it ALLLL the way to Fayetteville for dinner at the Knox's because our
meeting lasted an hour longer than planned. We helped them with their mission
plans. I did a lot of phone calling of random numbers in our phone. That always
scares me...I wasn't driving so I was calling.
Saturday we did some following up in the morning with people we had
met the past few weeks. Family history was at 1:30 and we were able to help the
Tolman's with some of theirs. We did some more finding that afternoon and went
to the Bigg's for dinner. After some finding we went over to Brice and Kalisa's
and got to talk with them some more. Did I tell y'all Brice made me a great big
Texas?? It's beautiful. We picked out the stain that night.
Sunday we had Branch Conference. So church was shortened by an hour
and it was an hour earlier. Rainn, our investigator, came. She told us that she
found her home, she found her church home. The Spirit was so strong and she
loved it!! She told us she wants to be baptized on Feb 1. We are so excited!!
She's progressed so much! That night we went over to Brice and Kalisa's to pick
up my Texas because we were pretty sure I was being transferred. (But I found
out later that I'm not!! Staying in Brenham for a 5th transfer!!) It's so
beautiful!! This picture doesn't do it justice...
Isn't it gorgeous?? Now I just have to figure out how to get it
home...anyone going to Arizona any time soon?? haha It's made of cedar and has
an oil stain on it. I love it.
Well...I gotta get going...keep on keeping on.
