 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

So we had been talking about it and drove over to have them follow us there.

Then we went to see James we visited with him he asked us questions and we answered them then his girlfriend came over we visited with her then some couple came over and she thought we were JW's and was not really happy we were there so then we told her who we were and she was more excepting of us being there then we visited with her and gave a book of mormon to James Destiny and Mary Lo. and then had dinner with sister Thompson.

try to share the good stuff. So Monday. we went to omaha to hang out
with some other elders and go bowling so we drove down and rode with
Elder Maddsen and Stapley and on our way there we were involved in an
accident with a orange dodge dart. So i had to keep elder maddsen from

June 29, 2015

Well this week was freaking Amazing!!! So let me tell you a little about it!

Mon- We were able to go fishing and we went to a lady's pond she told us we could fish but if was catch and release and it was a blast we caught some bluegills then we got tired of fighting with them so i decided to try my luck on some Large Mouth bass and i struck Gold i was catching them every cast and i think it was bothering Elder Williams cause all he was pulling in was moss. So i hooked him up with the same thing and he he found Gold as well. Then i also almost got my hands on a Snapping Turtle it was cumming up for some air and i was hoping it would come up all the way so i could us my Turtle man ( Yeee ye Live Action!!) on it but it dove down and i couldn't come up with a reason to go after it. Our dinner had to cancelled on us so we ended up trying to get blessed with dinner as we went around. (due  to Elder Williams not shaving we didn't get dinner!!!!! )

Tue- We went out to help Bro. Bryan and we moved a freezer into the bakery from the basement of the house and it was a little challenge for us be we got it done. After we went over to see the Reeds and Bro. Reed was home but he told us he had not read what we had asked him to or been Reading or Praying with his wife so we talked for a couple 3 minutes then had to leave so he could finish up his work we offered to help but he declined.

Wed- We went to District meeting and it was good as we have been trying to bring up new ways for us to do our Commitments as we want to have more accountability for ourselves when we talk about the things we did during the week. I also have changed the way i am doing training's i don't call and assign then for that week they all come prepared to give one and i call upon some one there to give it so they can all come more prepared and with more things to share with us all. After the meeting I had the opportunity to give a Baptismal Interview for Tatiana who the Eagle run sisters teach and it went well she passed and will be baptized in a week form Saturday.

Thur- Was a good day we were able to go out on Splits due to myself double booking ourselves but in the end it worked out. So Elder Williams went to see the Hall's family with Bro. Broadhead and they had a super good evening with them. Bro. Glenn came out with me and we saw Jacalynn and she said it was not a good time to come by so we then went to see Jeremiah and we had a very good visit with him we watched a couple of Mormon Messages and then talked about them and i felt inspired to Invite him to be baptized and so i did and he said he want to pray about it first to make sure but that his heart says to say yes so i know he will be Baptized.

Fri- Was a slow day we went to see Kris we gave her kids the children's Book of Mormon and she said to shoot her a text to set up next visit. Then we got a car was from the dance girls now i know what your thinking but no their is a member here who teaches Irish dancing for the Primary aged girls and so we felt we could contribute to there trip fund. Then we went to take Greg White one of our Less Active to the Trail Center for a Fire side but he tried to cancel on us so we drove up to get him and take him but he was out and about so we waited for him to come home and then he still said no and so kind of up set i didn't get to go now  we went to see another less active and she wasn't home so things building up for me but then we were blessed with a miracle we saw the Reed's stranded on the side of the road so we stopped to see if we could help them out and i guess the car just died and so we pushed if off to the side of the road and they had to drop off some stuff for some friends and then they would pull it home later but they were shocked we were there and thought some how the other one had told us they were there and neither of them did. So it was quite humbling for me to see how the lord places us some times for other reason if we had not gone to get Greg we wouldn't have been there to help them so remember next time things don't go how you think it should have work it may mean some thing else.

Sat- We were able to take out Brenner Mann one of the Priest's in the branch adn so we went to see a Investigator and a Less Active in Arlington first then We went to lunch with the Claussens and had a good visit with them then we went to Tekahma to see some of the Less Active who live out North we don't get to see as much and it was good we were able to meet some new people which was great.

Sun- Was crazy with great Blessing so First off we invited Jeremiah again to church this time he text us saying he was lost trying to find the church so i tried to direct him but due to his hard time telling me where he was i told him to stay where he was and we would find him and then he would follow us to the church building. We got him to church he as all dressed up and everything he had a good time everyone came up and talked to him introducing them selves to him and we had a full class for Gospel Principles and he stayed all 3 hrs then we took him home he wanted to feed us so he gave us some chips some fruit and water. Then we went out with Bro. Lloyd who is our Branch Mission Leader as we were out we saw a couple cars on the side of the road so we feeling prompted to stop  so we did and they were trying to get the idler pulley off his jeep to change the alternator but due to the lack of tools they cut the belt to get the alternator off then we got some proper tools and got the pulley but the belt was whipping us as there was no diagram of how it should go so bro. Lloyd call in some back up from the shop he worked at who got it figured out for us and get them on there way but we gave the guy a Book of Mormon and a card to call us since he is moving into our area soon. Well i hope you all have a great week and be looking for all those unplanned opportunity's to share the Gospel Love you all Love Elder Lott

Mon- we went fishing again no luck elder Williams almost did some hillbilly hand fishing but was a little slow and missed the big fish swimming by the shore.
Tue_ we went out to Bro. Bryan's and helped him put on a screen door for the bakery. We had a police officer stop us and give us some nice cold water during our hot walk out side a super sweet tender mercy of the Lord!
Wed- Was a lot of walking around we stopped in to see a couple we visited a couple weeks back and dropped off some talks on family and marriage and Committed him and his wife to read the Book of Mormon together and see what changes it would bring to his family and life.  While trying a potential we saw a demented cat with a jacked up face missing a ear its jaw was like half there and its eyes were starange wish i had my camera to have taken a picture of it so you would all know a little better what i mean. But better than that we were able to teach her Neighbor Criss and we read 2 Nephi ch.2 about why there is opposition in all things.
Thur- we had zone training and it was nice i sat next to sister Weston and it was great all about working with getting our investigators to come to church.
 Fri- We had exchanges i went with elder Jensen from the winter quarters YSA ward and we did some yard work for one of our Investigators who took a trip to Idaho to see a Missionary who served here a couple 3 years back and then his appendices had to be taken out so we mowed and stuff for him so he wouldn't try to do it when he got home. Then we went and saw the claussens in Arlington and had a super good lesson on church and reading our scriptures but sadly they didn't come on Sunday.
Sat- We went out to help a ward member the Fullmers Move their old land lord then while we were there we were able meet a less active who just moved here a while ago and didn't know where the church building was so we will start working with her. Then after we got done we went home got cleaned up and i was texting Jeremia to see what he was up to and he was changing his Radiator so i asked if he wanted some help and he said yes so we went out and it was good we did cause early this week he stabed him self in the thumb and really messed up his hand so we were a lot of help cause he couldnt really do much but we got it done. Then they fed us dinner and we read the Introduction of the Book of Mormon, Testimony of the 3 and 8 witnesses and invited him to church. Then we went out cleaned up and headed home.
Sun- went to church had some great talks visited with the Branch President and Branch Mission Leader about how we can help our less actives and Investigators to come to church. Visited a less active and a couple 3 investigators but since it was Fathers day i think most everyone was out with family so not as many visits as we were hoping for but it was good Love you  Elder Wyatt P Lott.
