The Trio



MONDAY:
Monday was a pretty relaxed p-day. We just played basketball and games and that type of stuff. After P-day was over we stayed down in Greenville to help them out with a young single adult activity that they were putting on, and we had a lot of fun that night. We also spent the night at their apartment because we were having our district meeting and interviews with President Pickett the next day.


TUESDAY:

Tuesday was a crazy day. We woke up and had our district meeting that morning, then went to McDonald's, then we went back to the church and had interviews with President Pickett. Those are always a good time. Then we hung out and worked the Greenville area for a couple hours before we had to drive down to Knoxville to the mission office to pick up Elder Farley. Well, we showed up to the mission office and it was just President Pickett there and he said that Elder Farley's plane had gotten delayed for a while, so he was not able to go pick him up. So instead he just had us drive down to Maryville to pick him up from the airport ourselves. It was honestly one of the weirdest things to experience, picking up another missionary from the same doors that I walked through into Tennessee for the first time. The mission veil was so close! Elder Martin was feeling it especially because he is going home super soon. But it was fun, President Pickett also gave us some Chick-fil-A gift cards to go out to eat after we picked up Elder Farley. Then we just drove back and by the time we got back it was already the end of the day.

TRESSA:

One of the people that we have found is a woman named Tressa. She is a single mother who’s in her 40's and she is super awesome. She has never really felt like she has had a relationship with God, so she asks a lot of questions on how she can gain that. We had a really solid lesson with her this week and we are going back soon.

Besides that it’s been another normal missionary week, a lot of knocking doors.  Hopefully we will be able to get things rolling again in this area soon.
