Tuesday: We helped at the library with Disks . It was a good time like always. We then had a lesson with person who told us they would stick to there book written by a scientist and gave us the large print Bible and Book of Mormon that we had given her. We also had Hyvee Chinese chicken that a member bought for us.
Wednesday:We had to drive to Iowa City because my companion had to get his knees checked by a physical therapist. So what that meant was an hour and a half drive to Iowa City. So we drove down there AMD went to the physical therapist who ended up rescheduling for later. But to my amusement the Bengals vs Redskins preseason game was playing the waiting room. Even tho the Redskins got wrecked and looked hopeless. I was glad that I was able to see the Redskins play. We then went to Wendy's cause there isn't a Wendy's nearby. We then drove back and everything was good.
Thursday: We had a district council then went to a place called Mimi's some Mexican restaurant. I have been eating healthier lately but was challenged to get this burrito that was huge. It was a huge mistake. I almost finished it but couldn't I felt so terrible after that. Pretty easy to say I won't do that again. We then drove back to Fairfield and had a lesson with Maryann she is devoted to her religion but her heart is being softened which is great. We then had a dinner with The Peterson's and they are a party. We then had a lesson/walk with Annette and are really trying to help her see the point of being baptized. We then drove back to Ottumwa to stay the night for our exchange the next day. That's there and back and then there. So three 30 minute trips Haha
Friday: I had my exchange with Elder Taylor and let me tell you this guy is the definition of gift of tongues he is a Spanish elder who was speaking a little bit of Haitian creole. We went and saw a recent f convert then we went and had lunch. Then we went to a part member family from Haiti and they speak Haitian Creole which is pretty much ghetto French. I could understand a few words here and there but I pretty much could only have a basic conversation or talk about sports and a hamburger. But with the gift of tongues plus Google translate Elder Taylor taught them as I nodded my head. We then hot free snow cones and they were pretty good we then get a call from Elder Critchfield telling me that I need to go give a blessing to someone in the hospital in Fairfield so we hoped in the car drove thirty minutes down to find out that she had been transferred to Iowa City so then we had to drive back which was another thirty minutes. We then had a dinner which was Dominos with a member and I gave him a commitment then he gave me one so that was cool. We then went and a helped a family make a family mission plan and that family was from Deweyville Utah. Which was cool because that is kinda close to Logan but really close to Honeyville. We then drove back from Ottumwa one last time. So I had driven a long time at this point.
Saturday: We went to Nauvoo with some members who brought a British guy with them who was not a member he had really kind of petty concerns with the Book of Mormon and other things in the church. We tried to explain stuff to him but he didn't listen. He then tried to dodge me and my companion in Nauvoo even tho we were going around with him. He met with some Nauvoo sisters and they addressed his same concerns and he actually listened. It kinda seemed like he was hitting on one of the sisters that has talked with him before. Kinda weird if I going to be honest but I met a senior missionary who is the grandfather of one of my favorite missionaries in the mission Elder Stokes. His grandpa is from Hyde park In cache valley so that was cool. Plus his personality was just like elder stokes Elder Critchfield and I were both like that's gonna be Elder Stokes when he gets old. We then drove back and had a dinner with a part member family so that was pretty fun. They had some college football playing and fed us some really good tenderloin.
Sunday: We went to church then had some dinner at like a mini ward get together. In one of the smaller towns in our area it had alright food but it was good seeing a lot of the ward members and even some non members. I then cleaned the kitchen which took a little bit of effort
Overall life this week was like a highway I drove like 6 or 7 hours then some members drove us like ankh 3 so I spent like 10 hours just driving.
Love y'all
