TUESDAY - We had District meeting today and it was my first day
back in action so I was not obviously just back up and running, I was
sluggish. We had interviews with Elder Witbeck cause he was not feeling
well, everyone has been getting sick. It was good we just talked about
my area, help I needed, my companion and then whether we thought we
would be transferred or not. We ended the meeting and biked home real
fast had lunch and Spanish study and then headed out, went tracked some
way bad looking apartments, only talked to a few people, not a lot
of Hispanics. So we went and tried to visit a less active in the area,
sister Webb but she was not there so we rode all the way back up to the
church, in that area and ran into brother Jasso and had water at his
house and tried to visit sister Bear, sister Blockers sister and law,
way less active. Wasn't there. We came back and waited for dinner, the
Lieb family, always an interesting place to go. We had Chinese food and
elder Larson didn't eat his veggies and Bro Lieb was like "I'm going to
call your mom if you don't eat those!" and he jokingly said "go ahead"
thinking nothing of it... Brother Lieb actually called!!!! haha it was
funny, on the way back I was sitting in the front seat and the window
was down and some dudes gas thing was open and I shut it for him haha.
We got back and headed to Barbras and knocked and nothing but then saw
her granddaughter next door so we knew she was there so we told her to go get
her, we got in and had an awesome lesson, read 3 Nephi 11 and committed
her for the 28th, she still does not feel she has her answer, we came
back and did what we decided to start, minute video logs every day, like
a journal. My first one was much longer haha, but it was fun.
WEDNESDAY - 11 MONTHS!!! almost to the biggest mark of all, We
did a lot of cleaning today, my back was not feeling the best still a
bit on the fence but still not too bad so we refrained from the bike as
much as we could, we then got a call from Elder Midgely to go look at
some apartments and so we went with Tim to look around, I saw Skyline
High School finally! For those of you that don't know its where C.J.
Miles played and was drafted straight from that school, so that was
really cool, also saw the sickest Lambo Gallardo! But in the midst of
finding all this we did not find a good, safe looking apartment. We came
back and waited to be picked up by Matt Moss to go to sister Lloyds for
dinner and it was good, Sloppy Joes. Its always fun to eat there, we
came back and got picked up by the Prices to go to correlation which was
really good, talked about the other elders baptism and then proceeded to
squeeze 6 of us in one car, cause the Mesquite elders came too and
drove to our apartment. Did our video logs, today's was all in Spanish so
you probably wont understand :)
THURSDAY - Planning day... till 4, we also were having a doughnut
crave in the morning so we went up to get some on the corner in the
morning, of course there was a fight up there! haha, crazy area, we had
the Dowlerns for dinner, old old old couple so of course seeing how its
been a full 3 weeks since we were there, if even that they have
forgotten all the stories they have already told us... so we heard the
same exact stories on the way over and during dinner hahaha, old
people... The other elders drove us to see a referral and then took us
back to meet up with Brother Mata, he is so awesome helps us out a lot,
we went and visited a less active, David. He has 3 kids and his wife who
are all not members but its going to take some time and change to get
them going, but we are excited... we had Barbra after but she
canceled!!!!!! So mad, we went and saw if the referral was there but
they weren't so we just headed home.
FRIDAY - We finally got what I have been waiting for! PANCAKES, I
bought some mix and they will just not cook right, so Tim took us to
IHOP today, it was really nice and we also got a call that they found
our new apartment!!! So we went and signed the applications and looked
around, much better, clean carpet, Bball court for the mornings. We are
so excited! We will be there in the same complex with the other elders
too, and the ZL's and Dallas 5 North elders live just down the street,
its going to be fun. We came back and started taking stuff down and
cleaned out the closet outside, so gross!!!! crap from all the other
missionaries and stuff, so bad. We had Brother Kidder for dinner, had
hamburgers and we stuffed our faces cause we have no money and no food
so we are really tight. Their dog is huge!!! massive, really friendly
though. We then headed to Sister Lloyds to pick up a bike for Elder
Dominguez from her dad, way nice bike, as he explained about it and they
talked "Taken" was playing so that was torture, such a good movie. I
also saw for the first time a trailer for "The Avengers" and it looks
pretty sick! We then headed to Wal-Mart to get some meds for Elder
Larson and some bike stuff for Elder Dominguez and headed home where the
other elders wanted to use some of my meds to sleep well haha.
SATURDAY - Doughnuts are good. so we got some more. Elder
Dominguez was really sick so we didn't get out, I DID THE DISHES!!! our
dishwasher broke so we have been piling up since and I finally did them,
my mom would be proud :) We had the Kliens for dinner with all 6 of us,
we all got cereal and then we headed home, we called Fernando and
headed to Wal-Mart to get some milk and a pump for elder Dominguez and
came back, then Tim brought us some bread and we got Elder Doms tires
pumped up and we rode it around the complex a few times to test it out
and then we talked to the security guard who loves us and he was sad to
hear that we were moving!
SUNDAY - Awesome day today, pretty normal day of church but
really good after, Mesquite had a baptism and so did D10 South, we
missed Mesquites cause we had dinner with the Kubosumis, Lasagna, my
fave! But we made it to Jose's baptism, so awesome, EVERY missionary
from the district AND the ZL's were there, it was really fun. But no one
from the ward..... except the prices. We were so angry! We invited
everyone, announced it to everyone and still... no support. After was a
ton of fun, all went to their apartment to cook fajitas, SO SO SO good,
outside all of us, talking sports and stuff it was a lot of fun and then
we finished by about 10 and headed home, did our second to last video
logs and then hit the sack, not a very productive week but still lots of
stuff! Thanks for following, love you all!
Elder Aaron Jackson
