BIG WEEK!

BIG WEEK!

I feel like way too much happened this week to be able to put it in an email, but let's go for it!

First things first.. I went golfing this morning and it was SWEET! haha had a lot of fun with Elder DeSantis! His dad is a professional golfer so he knows whats up and now I hit my drives fairly straight! I wouldn't say I'm better though! 

This email is probably going to be all over the place, I hope it all makes sense to you all! Last Tuesday was SO LEGIT! We heard that all of Lake Mills and the surrounding towns and cities went to Lake Mills middle school and had a basketball open gym and so we went! And man, it did not disappoint! I'll take a picture of it this week but man it was fun! Probably like 40 people plus some college players! 

But I gotta get goin on this! Wednesday we did some service and the guy at St. Vineys said we could throw a metal desk down the stairs out back so we did and it was awesome! haha

Thursday, some cool ravioli happened.. So I don't know if you all remember about a week ago we played some basketball with the guys who live in out apartment complex just outside in our parking lot! They were funny and we just kinda told them what we do as missionaries. 

But Thursday while me and Elder DeSantis were weekly planning, one of them whose name is "Finna" (Yes finna, and yes it's his Nicname haha) came up to our window and said "Hey I'd really like to sit down and meet with you guys sometime and talk to you about your beliefs and what you all do as mormons if that's alright." uhh wut. So we obviously said yes and then he was like "Alright cool" then walked away! 

So yesterday, Sunday we were walking out of the apartment and caught him walking in and asked him if we could come over on Monday (today) and he said he's open after 8am. We had an awesome lesson this morning and he said we answered a ton of his questions already and man, we haven't even hit the plan of salvation yet! We are pumped for Finna right now so keep him in your prayers!

Also on Thursday me and Elder DeSantis and Angel Cabrera (Recent Convert as of a month ago) Basically moved a family's entire house worth of belongings out into a U-haul in about 2 hours. Desks upstairs and everything! Good stuff! haha we got our workout in that's for sure! The Cabreras are awesome by the way, I'll share their story in another email sometime!

Friday we had Spanish Conference. This was when all the Spanish called missionaries had a conference in Milwaukee! It was a ton of fun to see everyone again! I got to see everyone it was great! Here is a Spanish missionary pic for you all! I'm not by my companion but you know, had to be in the middle! haha But I'm by a member of the seventy, Elder Scott! He gave an AMAZING training on our priorities as missionaries. I could go for days on his talk but I don't have time, maybe after the mission going through my notes! like that will ever happen. haha

But also we went to go see Pat that night. She is a member of our ward but lives in assisted living so we go see her about twice a week. I'll get a picture with her soon but here's a cool story about what happened this week! Normally all we take in with us is our Book of Mormon so we can read with her but this time was kinda funny. I reached in the back and grabbed my whole bag and started walking towards the door and as I was walking I said to Elder DeSantis, "Why did I grab my whole bag? Who knows! haha" That's the exact words. Well, God knew. We got in there and it turns out Pat is pretty sick and she hasn't been able to keep food down for about 3 days. That's pretty hard on old people. But Immediately the thought popped into my head "She needs a blessing,that's why you brought your bag dummy" haha something like that! But I had moved my oil from my keychain to my bag about a week earlier. I would have forgot it. The blessing went great and we are going to see her again tonight! 

Sunday we had an awesome sacrament meeting and I wish I had time to share about it but I don't! Maybe next week but it was on Charity! Look it up in the Bible Dictionary or something i'm not sure!

This week was sweet! Love you all! Have A Happy Day!
