TUESDAY - District meeting in Henderson, way good. Practiced
contacting and different ways to do it. After we went to Taco Bell for a
district lunch, Elder Rouse and I play this game where we look for Slug
bugs and Camaros (new ones) and we yell them out when we see them and
who ever calls the most of them wins haha, so fun. We then got back and
headed to the church to have another lesson at 2 with Lois Bush we were
running a bit late and she called and tried to make an excuse and I
talked her out of it and she said she would come and we got there with
Steven Harris and waited 25 minutes and then her husband called and said
all this stupid stuff, so we left and we are only going to wait now.
Ball is in her court. We then went and started tracting and the first
door we knocked we got in, David Cruz. We had a lesson but he was pretty
stubborn... after we went to Marlenes and Freddy? Guy who got in a wreck
on his bike, is now walking. Miracle DING DING DING :) We had a lesson
with Marlene and then drove into Tyler so I could do an interview for
Elder Jorgenson and Dominguez, I talked a bit with him and he is not
happy with Jorgenson, they aren't getting along, after we went to this
place called WIENERLAND!!! hahahaha, we wanted to go so bad, small
little hotdog place, it was closed though :( So we headed to the Zone
Leaders aptmnt in Tyler and went to bed, Elder Hadlock, one of the ZL's,
is best friends with Corbin Walker, a kid that worked with me at Fresh
Market, the Mormon world is so small! We hit the sack, long drive
tomorrow. Got letters from BFOS and Todd as well.
WEDNESDAY - We drove for 3 hours into Dallas and had an awesome
Zone Leader Council and learned a lot, the mission is hurting right now,
lot of stupid disobedience things and stuff like that and it hurt me, I
was thinking about it all day and how we could get our missionaries
excited and back to work so we can see the blessings of the Lord! We
drove back and that's all I was thinking about as we fasted and prayed,
We didn't get back till about 8 or so and had a lesson with a referral we
got, watched Finding Faith in Christ and then went home and dropped
like dead pigeons.
THURSDAY - Anthony Johnson, had a lesson and he kind of seems
interested but at the same time no, after we started planning and that
meant 45+ phone calls trying to help everyone in the Zone. We called all
the District Leaders and gave them the info from yesterday and then we
headed at 4 to the Gibsons, had an awesome lesson with them and went the
the Sellers for dinner yummmmy, we also helped fix their slide for
their pool and I saved their 1 year old from diving right in! so
scary, then we went out to visit some people with Bro Sellers. Jorge
Huerta? canceled. Jones family? Cancel. Finally we got in with some less
active who has no testimony anymore whatsoever. That was our Thursday
night.
FRIDAY - Exchanges, at 8 we drove to meet Idabel and do
exchanges, drove through Shawns mission which was cool, I was with Elder
McNinch for the day, way cool elder, love him! we were exchanging
stories on the way back. He ran into his ex on the mission!!! Can you
imagine that!!?? so crazy! We came back and had studies and then went
out to work, talked to some cool people, had 2 lessons and helped some
girls with hauling their beds in to their apartment. We then went to
visit the Robinsons, were not there. We had dinner at Cici's Pizza YUCK,
but Sister Jones took us, really sweet old lady. We went to Marlenes to
change our appointment and then went to the Church to walk the Sadlers
through the baptism and watch "Only a Stonecutter" Then one more lesson
with David to end our night. Shawn thanks for the pics!
SATURDAY - We exchanged back and Gilmer came up there as well to
give Idabel the truck and then we went to the church on the way back to
get clothes for Bro Johnston and then went to Cancun to eat some amazing
Tacos and then to Hermano Cadenas, we had a little meeting with him at
his house and confirmed dinner and guess where he took us? CICI's!!!!!
ugh, after that we ran to the Sellers and gave Brother Seller a progress
sheet and took off to Joshs, talked with his parents then went to his
work to visit with him and then went back to plan, planned and then
visited some peeps, Tyston Stewarst (Less active) then... Brother
Prince.... Craziest guy I have ever met, stopped wearing his garments
because its hot... dumbest thing I have ever heard! He was talking about
UFO's and crazy things and he served a mission and his wife too!!! I
don't get it! So crazy, after that we went to Cicis for dinner and after
Elder Rouse threw up on the way to our next appointment and then we
taught Neomi and then went to the hospital to visit Angel, son of a
member, that's how we ended our night. Running all over the place.
SUNDAY - Church from 10 to 4, then had the baptism which was
amazing, I'm grateful for the Sadler Family and their faith. We had
refreshments after and then went to dinner with a Spanish family and the
Hermana asked how I decided to come on my mission so I told the whole
story and it was really good, I love reflecting on that, it brings joy
that I'm out here. We went to the Johnstons and did numbers, did not get
back till about 11, our zone has the most dates in the mission!!!
WHOOT!!! GO TDM!!! love you all so much! :)
Elder Jackson
