Well here is the last week we had its been a good long hard ride and i am sad its come to an end but now more things are going to begin as well.

So Monday we ended up helping Amy move all of Jeremiah's stuff from his apartment to her's as he lost him housing due to getting arrested and she didn't tell his apartment manager cause she says its none of his business. So after we got done we had a lesson with Amerikiss and then we tried a couple 3 others then headed home.

We were supose to see Tiana with bro bryan but she had to work so we went to see Clair and Dalton as they were home we had a super Amazing lesson asked about baptism and what their hold ups were then he invited them over for dinner on sunday night. and church on sunday. After that we went to dinner with the franzlubbers and had a lesson on missionary work and we shared our testimonys of missionary work. Then we came back to town we saw Amerikiss again to finish up her lesson. Then we headed home.

Wed- We had a meeting in Omaha which took up all day it was for District Leaders and their companions and the zone leaders and sister training leaders. It was a great meeting i was sad thought it was at the end of my time as a district leader and not sooner but it was still good to be able to attend it. Then we went on exchanges with the Deer creek elders i went with Elder Telford and we had a super great lesson with one of their investigators we set her and her son both for baptism and they said yes!! Then we went to try 2 other people the one guy only spoke Italian so it was hard to speak to him. Then we headed for home watched it rain like crazy and we had some thunder that sounded like a bomb went off. Then we went to bed.

Thur- Was my last District Meeting and it was hard for me i really enjoyed the training for finding which i gave and then we went to lunch at Chik-fa-la and then we drove home we stopped by the doctors as i had thought i had an ear infection but had to schedule it for Friday. Then we had our baptismal interview for Amerikiss adn we didnt have a baptism form so we tried to one but couldn't she passed we just have to fill one out. Then we had dinner back out. We had a lesson with Amy with bro. Lloyd we were supose to see Josh but he was not home. Then Bro. Lloyd got us some Mc'Ds for dinner.

Fri- Went to the doctors i had some wax build up in my ear and they flushed it she said i had fluid on both ears so i got some meds to clear it up i hope it does before the plane ride home so. When we went to pick up my perscription we saw a less active sister Brown so we visited with her and then got our stuff we did some service at Joseph's Coat we moved all the box's and put them in order of years newest to oldest, then vacuumed  went to dinner with sister Thompson. We had a lesson with Logan Otsby a new investigator we had a law of chastity lesson with him.

Sat- We got a text from the Schmidt's asking if we could help them with the lawn as joe broke his foot bad we figured it would be a good idea. So we went over helped out we ate some lunch joe showed us his new Mini Crossbow. Then we went out to Tekayma to try a less active named Ashley, her boyfriend said it was not a good time. So then we went by the Burt's and had a good time visiting with them. Then on our way home i let Elder Benally practice Drive home cause he is working to get his licence. So he almost drove off the road once but we made it then we hit a mud spot and he lost control and we hit the embankment on the right side of the road and broke off the fog light so i got in and got us unstuck then drove it home zip tied the plastic skirting back up and we went to dinner with the Lloyds we had hay stacks. Then we went out to the Mann's house to help work on the Apartment renovations. Stopped by to see Amy at the Gas station on the way home.

Sun- Was church we had 2 investigators come Josh who is 17 and Bridger from last week he came with his wife and kids. So it was really good Josh got to stay for 2 hrs then had to leave but it was good, after church we went to see sister golden and gave her the sacrament then we gave it to the Rodenbaughs. Then we went to see the Ward's and after that we went out to dinner with the Bryan's we had pizza in the Brick oven and some good pie for desert and then we had a couple other people i said good bye to and then we headed home.

Well I am filled with all sorts of emotions right now as i am finishing my last Email home as a missionary its crazy to see that 2 years went by in the Blink of an Eye and the song from Kenny Chesney Don't blink cause just like that you take a nap and you wake up and your on a mission. Next think i know i will be getting married and greater things will come I love you all thanks for all the suport and help you have all given me out here while i have served here in N.O.M! It truly has been Great i love the lord. I will see you all again soon. LOVE ELDER WYATT PETER LOTT! God be with you until we meet again!

 Mon- We just chilled here in town cause Fremont went to Omaha for the day. It was nice to relax and do some stuff around the house.We went to see the Dick and Beth Rodenbaugh for about a half hour before we had dinner with the Lloyds and well we had given them a chicken to cook up for dinner so when we got there they said it had not cooked all the way through so they would fix up some steaks really quick well that didn't turn out so well either. But we enjoyed each others company and then had to head out for home.

 Tue- We went out to Bro. Bryans and had some service time out there we cleaned up some shingles off the ground and then helped him patch some holes on the roof not being on the roof as we are trying to follow Presidents request to not be on them. Then we had to run into town to see Jeremiah, He is doing well he has been taking his BoM with him around the jail as he has been worried about what people might think but so far its been good. After him we were supose to move some hay but that was postponed for later. We got to meet Jenifer she is a new investigator that we met trying to see her sister but she got up to leave and so we talked with Jenifer shared the Restoration have her a book of Mormon and then invited her to come to church. We Helped a member move a huge cabinet back onto the wall and it was much easier this time with 5 guys rather than 3 the first go round. Then we raced to get dinner from Sister Hager she made us dinner to pick up as her husband is out of town. Then we went to go Home Teaching with Brother Bryan to see the Craigs brother Craig just got out of prison so it was good to see him. Then we went and ate dinner really quick. Then we went over to see the Steve and Jana Rodenbaugh. They told us how they are getting a house as the one they are renting just got put up for sale.

 Wed- We went to town and saw sister Golden we played one round of Kings in the corner and then got a call saying the were ready to start bailing hay so we shared a scripture and then we changed and headed out to see the Burt's to help them with the hay project. We Moved 130 bales and loaded them into a trailer to be taken out to Colorado for his daughters horse. Then we visited for about 15 minutes then Mark Hannah said he wanted to take us to get a milkshake before he had to be in for work. and while we were going he stopped in town to introduce us to Tiana at the Shell Gas Station she was not in then so he said we should try back later. Then we went to Burger King to get our milk shake then there he wanted to introduce us to Gabriel who works there both of them he had visited with previously and said he had some friends that could help them out. Can you guess who they were Yes US!!! Then we had to go to dinner at the Solheims and it was a good time it was the first time in like 20 years they have had the missionaries in their home as her husband donesnt like the missionaries or the church so sinvce he was gone for work we we ate with them.

 Thur- District Meeting. Went had a good time there and Elder Pitcher gave a great first training for us and then I gave one on how we can use the Ward Councel to help our investigators have a better time at church. Then we had lunch at BK. Went to look at this thrift store one of the elders was talking about well it was not thrift store it was a fancy cloth store expensive then we came to town.

 Fri- Was kind for a slow morning for us. We had some Weekly Planning then we went out to see Jeremiah and tried to meet up with some Potential Investigators and most of them were busy so we did some tracting stopped to talk with this guy working on  a retaining wall he said he didn't need help and he was Lutheran but not practicing cause he like to sleep in on Sunday. Then we had dinner at sister Thompsons and had hamburger and hot dogs. They were having a Fire side put on by the BYU football team and so we were trying to find some one to go with casue we new it was gong to be amazing. Well by the time we found some one to go. We had no Ride. So we started calling people Left and right and no one was available to bring us down the couple them selves couldnt drive cause neither one had a licence to do so. So please when there are activitys like this check with the missionaries to see if there is anythings you can do to help them get there with Investigators cause they may NEED it.

Sat- We went to see Dalton and had a good visit for about an hour with him he is a former by the YSA elders and we started teaching him and he has a lot of questions about the Restoration and the Plan Of Salvation and the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. We tried to answer some of them but set up a time to come back on Friday. Then we watched the Football Game we ended up at the phillip 66 gas station for a while until we had to go to dinner so we didnt get to see the epic ending to the game. But dinner was good we had a BBQ with 4 familys and had a good time visiting then saw Amy.

Sun- We had an amazing Miracle happen Raul came to church he is a hispanic who we met a while back he asked us where the church was cause his brother and mom go in mexico and Florida. But he came to church and was early cause he couldnt get hold of us cause our Phone Service stinks out here.

July 27, 2015

 Mon-This week has been a good one for us we went Fishing for p-day last week had a good time we caught a good number of fish. Our Dinner cancelled so we went to another members house.

   Tue- I am not really sure what we did. we did go to see the Otsby's they told us that there was a guy named Jeremiah who got arrested on Sunday evening so we went to see Amy to see what happened. She told us that they were having a BBQ for there brother in law and he was talking mean to Amy so Jeremiah told him to stop so he preceded to assault Jeremiah then the cops were called due to the fact Jeremiah apparently Stabbed his Brother - in - Law. Then they transferred him to Columbus NE due to there was no AC here at the jail.

   Wed- We to attend his court hearing but we were not told the time and it had already happened. So some more taracting.

   Thur- We had District Meeting which didn't happen but let me tell you why. So on our way there we got a call from Elder Lee who is in charge of the cars so he left a message telling us that the Deer Creek Elders who are in my district. had been in a car accident the day before and that Elder Martinez had a minor concussion and so i called them to see  how they were feeling they said not so good so were going to meet them at their apartment so they asked if we would get a free pizza first so we went pick up the pizza and then we went to the apartment had planned to have short meeting due to our time was all messed up but as it happened the meeting didn't then the zone leaders showed up with more pizza and then we visited a little more them we left. We stopped in Ft. Calhoun to see Greg. Then we went to the house dropped off a few things then we headed into town. We had an appointment with the Hall's family and we went over and talked about the Deity of Christ, It was hard due to they didnt read the same bible as us to begin with then they have different meaning for words so it was challenging but good.

  Fri- We Walked into town and the Heat Index for the Day was 108 degrees so yes it was HOT!!! But we did it with a smile on our faces. We walked to where we were told the Relief Society would be meeting but they were not there. So we went to tracting and since it was so hot not many people were out and about but we made the best of the day any how.

   Sat- We went played football in Omaha and it was a good turn out. I played with no shoes on again and Elder Williams had a pair of Track shoes and as he was covering me he stepped on my heal and cut me up. We came home got cleaned up and went out get Tyler to have him come out with us but no one was home. So we went out by  our selves and had a lesson with a couple we met when i unlocked their car. We taught them and their room mates the Restoration and gave on a book of Mormon he would only take it if we took his Alcohol anonymous book. So I told him deal i don't think he thought i would do it but it went well they said they would read and pray and come to church.

Sun- Well we went to have break fast with the Campbell's before we went to church. It was good we had biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. Then we went to church no one came but Amy did after she got off work which was good she had a good time. Then we went had dinner with the Jensen's family had a lesson about strengthening our faith. Well i hope everyone has a great week Love Elder Lott
