February 10, 2013

Well this week was amazing so here we go.

 Tuesday- all day was filled with service we walked around town shoveling snow for the people we have been working with finally got to talk with the hirshs they have been in Cali for the last week and are going back this next week.

 Wed- we had a good little snow storm come through which the snow was super light and it just blew all around we got out shoveled our complex and by the time we were done it had all blown back in so we went out to do some family's did about 3 and thought we should do it before they get home cause it all blew back in by the time we were done. them the zone leaders called and asked us if we could help them take back the truck they were told to take away form the McCook Elders so why they lost there truck was due to the fact they went 1,000 miles over what they were given to use for the Month so we went up and took it back for them and stayed the night with the zone leader.

Thur- We had District meeting and as sad as it is it was my companions last one so we had Man Cakes for breakfast which was good with bacon and eggs had a short training then went to DQ for lunch and after that the zone leaders and my companion and myself headed to Omaha stopped in Lexington were I stayed and the district leader form there jumped in and they went to Omaha for Leadership meeting and I stayed with Elder Shipley a Spanish elder which was fun we had a good couple of days together.

Fri- We went out and had a couple of appointments we had to be to the first one went well it was very good because I was able to talk and understand what was going on because it was in English the next one was a Spanish appointment so I felt like just a fly on the wall while he talked to the guy we did eat dinner that night with a family they had a dinner at the high school that night she had gotten two tickets so we ate with them and then we had to meet the Zone leaders at Walmart so we could switch back and headed back to North Platte spent the night there.

Sat- We decied to stay in north platte for the day for a few reasons there was going to be baptism that day so we wanted to be able to attend that went with the NP elders after that and met Sarj and had a good time talking with him after that we headed to Sutherland for our branch activity that was happening that night had a fun time playing games with the branch then went home stopped by the Magee family and dropped off all the treats we got given from game night.

Sun- we had a early morning meeting so got to church and after that we were all making our way to the chapel when some one said the Magee family is out side and sure enough it was them for clarification he is the guy who got shot at thanksgiving but they came and it was a wonderful thing for them to be there they did leave after sacrament but it was good for them to come for that cause the sacrament is what they needed the most for the whole experience. after church we stopped at the Branch presidents house and we ate lunch there and then there son and I did teach the Plan Of Salvation which went very well.

this week was super fast so we will see if I can remember everything that has happened.

    We were going to go to the Branch Presidents house and teach his family the Lessons but I ended up not feeling well and we did not go sadly. So we spent a remainder of the night in. We did end up being able to have one lesson where we taught the Holts a family that moved in from Preston Idaho had a good leaning experience with it as well. We did not practice at out meeting this last week but then next one we will be at is coming up quick hoping to put out 200 by then. We did some more service for Kat we put in a surround sound system for her which she loved and then rearranged her kitchen. We also got the first snow storm of the year which put about 6-7 inches down and so we spent most of that day shoveling snow for people and we celebrated the birthday of Brother Teter who turned 62 and who wrote a book which will be coming out at the end of the month called who lit the match. its about his coming back to the church and why he left. We also celebrated Kats birthday and she surprised us back by telling us she would have Sunday off and would be coming to church with us this week her friend Anna said she would come but -3 eas just a little cold for her so only Kat came but it was awesome to have an investigator come to church we helped Kats friend with her neighbors dog that was chasing there horses he should not be chasing them anytime soon haha. We got to give a couple blessings last night to the Burnside family sister burnside was sick all week and there daughters baby had had a fever and so we blessed them both and after asked them if they had thought about having him blessed in church.

Well this week has been quite the week with all the excitement I could handle so here we go.

      Tue- we got to go out to Key Stone to help a lady we met she needed help cleaning out a room full of stuff she was storing for a guy in North Platte and so we went over and helped her box all of that up then we hung 3 mirror for her put in a fan in her safe and then we reorganized a room for her that was just full of empty boxes and what not.

    wed- we went back out and helped Kat we fixed a window in her bath room and closed off a vent that was just blowing cold air in sealed that off and the window covered the chimney for her as well.
 
      Thur- we had a meeting in North Platte so we had to go out to key stone again and load up all the boxes and things to take up to NP  so we took and dropped all of the stuff at the guys house on his font porch for him then went to the church for out meeting after out meeting we had out Olympic challenge so we could see who would be doing what event we had Latters, setups, pushups, and curls with milk jugs, and then stick pulls and I won for Pushups after doing 101 to come in first for curls was exciting the guys pushed themselves hard going to 1025,1026 curls before giving in. After that excitement we took one of the NP elders over to meet a family in there area and we fixed there light switch for them then we came home.
 
  Fri- didn't have to much to do we tried to catch a Less Active family we have been having trouble getting into contact with we were not able to but did take some picture frames over to a family and they fed us lunch that night we stopped by the bowling alley to see a LA shoot some pool he is in a league that was exciting then went home.

  Sat- we tried the far side of the lake while we were crossing the dam we saw 10 bald eagles which was cool tried to get pictures but didn't quite work out like we hoped for but did get a couple of some birds our visit didn't work out come back home and moved a washer and dryer and 2 stoves for our apartment manager then took them over to the scrap yard for him.
