Slow Start In McKinney Texas

MONDAY - we had a good pday, went and did laundry and waited while watching cheesy Jerry Springer, we went to email and after I went and got my toothbrush, we were at the zone leaders all day and I was not happy cause I wanted to get packing, not happy cause I was leaving, I went and took pictures with Fernando and Gabby and then all night I was packing, till way late. Hated it.

TUESDAY - To meandering way I went and guess what they told me... I'm district leader!!!! Last second again! Met my new companion, Elder Dahlberg, and saw all my good elder friends, including Elder Drake! We headed for McKinney and I saw a big poster for Hollie, the American Idol girl? The city is way big and awesome. We went to WalMart with our new Zone Leaders, Elder Willman and Lancheros, so good to be back with elder Willman. We had dinner with the Gomez family and came home and hit the road, working hard, no lessons but we worked really hard. We haven't spoken a word of English to each other.

 

WEDNESDAY - District meeting at 10 then after we ate and visited a less active, Rosibel Caballero. Also ran into a guy who wants to come to church, Ilogio Solis and we also met a guy from the Fiji Islands, way cool! We came back and had a bit of Spanish study before having dinner with the ZL's at our place. We had an appointment at 7 with David Rubio, wasn't there. So we knocked and didn't have much luck, we went to a trailer park and visited some people and knocked some more, we came back and planned, we plan so much here, its way good.

 

THURSDAY - Studies, planning all day then we went out and about, visited Candi and set up an return appointment for dinner we had the best dinner in the mission so far, TEXAS SHAPED WAFFLES! they were so good with home made syrup. We didn't do much the rest of the night except knock and find no one! 

 

FRIDAY - We are wasting too much time with investigators who are not progressing! If there is something I need to learn its patience! While at a members house, Elder Walsh and his parents showed up to visit the members, it was raining all day too! We also read the bible with some random guy on the street haha that was pretty interesting. cancel cancel cancel! Working hard but not getting much lessons in or new investigators. patience again.

 

SATURDAY - We had a short lunch after studies so we could head out and work, Raul Jimenez, was not there again and he is supposed to be the "top progressing" Investigator, 2 other families didn't answer on top of that. We did run into the sisters of this area though which was really good. We knocked and ran into a crazy drunk guy and some other guy who got his bike stolen, interesting people. After we visited a less active and taught him and his friend how to tie a tie and also read about King Noe and Abinadih?? To end our night we met someone from Iran!! it was really cool, and he was really nice.

 

SUNDAY - Met the branch today, lots of great people, went by super fast!!! then we went to work and visited the appointments we had and then headed to Skype our fams, it was so good to see my family and to talk to Austin, thanks for making my week much better, cause I just didn't have fun at all this week! Families are the best. I got numbers from the district and called it a night.
