Labor Day

FACEBOOK:

One cool thing that we have started to be more proactive at and experimenting in is using Facebook in missionary work. We have already been able to see it work through contacting people we are teaching and also members. We are able to share scriptures, videos, and a bunch more through Facebook messenger. I also just posted a little video of a story that I had on there, just to try it out. It is really cool to see how the Lord has blessed us all with incredible technology; the test is how do we want to use it?

9 CANCELATIONS:

It was just one of those weeks where we had 9 appointments set up for teaching, service, and meals that all fell through.  It was crazy.  There’s always next week!

BAD MEXICAN:

We were able to go out to eat at a really good Mexican restaurant with a really cool family, Shannon Willis and her 2 kids.  It was a really fun time we had with them. Her son Zachary is 12 years old and plays basketball, and so within the next couple weeks we are going to set up a time for Shannon's family and also the Houston family, who have a son that plays basketball as well, to go to the park and have a meal/basketball/lesson night.

The bad part about that experience was that all day I hadn't been feeling super hot anyways. But something about that fajita really got to me. By the time we got in the car and started to drive out of the parking lot I had to have Elder Farley take over driving and take us home. It was a ROUGH night, needless to say.

LAST PDAY:

Last pay day we had a pretty fun time setting up a mini golf course throughout the church, and also playing capture the flag with Nerf guns, haha.

Rough studies?

Sorry, unfortunately there's not a ton of good missionary stuff to report on, considering all of the cancellations.  It has been a challenge trying to get creative in finding new people to teach, considering I have tracted just about every place in our area, haha. But it has been a fun challenge. Hope y’all have a good week.
