MONDAY - Good pday, sad about the email :( I couldnt do my blog last week because my companion. Oh well, im doing it now. Im so glad he is going though! We ran all over the place, from best buy, to ross, to the post office, to walmart. We got back and Virrueta started packing more and I cleaned. We went to Josues to say good bye and came back. Elder Virrueta stressed that we needed to be over at easts by 8. I knew we would be late for sure.
TUESDAY - We were 1 hour and half late... I asked 4 times if
Virrueta was completely packed and he said yes. Then when I was ready to
walk out the door? He was running and packing stuff! Hno Rangel was
really late to pick us up. We then went and got the other elders.
Witbeck and Chappell to the Shady Grove with me. Pinch me I'm dreaming!
So awesome. We took them shopping and then we took the others shopping
as well. We got back, I talked about the area and he unpacked a bit. We
picked up dinner from Barraza and taught Santiago, who is just solid as a
rock, then Raul, who finally got an answer! Ready for baptism!!! Oh
things are going well! We came back and started to dig through old
records to find some possible people to teach.
WEDNESDAY - We had district meeting today and ate some Chick-fil-a
and then took the east elders to get a new tire. We went knocking and
it was great! We got in some doors and it was great! We had dinner with a
less active pm family with the east elders and after chappell and I
played there kids 2 on 2 and just messed around, throwing oops to each
other and such. It was fun! We visited some old investigators and part
member families and had no luck.
THURSDAY - Planning was good today, we made some plans to what we
want to do this transfer and how we are going to find and baptize. We
had some good chicken at Romans house and did some knocking after and
found a new family.
FRIDAY - 20 MONTHS IN THE MISSION! So nuts! less than 4 to go :/
We did some more visits before dinner and didnt have much luck, we ate
with the Maganas and taught Raul after and found out his baptism might
have to wait a bit. We have to get another interview due to probation.
No biggy though, still he will be baptized for sure! So awesome! The new
families we found we tried and they all said no, Tomas said no as well
and we were left with a pretty crumby night.
SATURDAY - We went to the temple today and it was amazing! The
spirit you feel as you do the things in there can not be found anywhere
else on this planet. It is of God and I know it! After we went to Spring
Creek. Witbeck paid for me because I'm out of money, it was really good!
We feel a lot better now that we went, ready to push it these last
weeks of our mission. We got back and made a progress record before
dinner. After dinner we had a weird coordination meeting that was kind
of pointless. We taught a few lessons before the night ended. Sorry for
the shortness of the blog. My journal doesnt have a lot because I was
playing catch up. These days I am VERY tired.
SUNDAY - UGH!!!! talk about meeting after meeting after meeting!
We had a meeting at 8, then we had our block of churh which was great!
loved it a lot! Both Raul and Santiago came, then we had another meeting
after. Then we went to lunch before heading to another 6 hour meeting.
We picked up the District leaders and headed to Casa Linda! Where I
started!! We had a rollout meeting for "Just Serve" from 3-5. It was
cool! I'm excited about this new pilot program, its only in 1 other
mission and now its coming here, way way way good idea for service! Then
we broke for dinner and from 6-7 we had another meeting about Just
serve and then from 7-9 we had a zone leader meeting that by the end of
it I was just dead, absolutely beat! We had to do numbers after that
too!!! we stayed with the Richardson ZL's and talked about how crazy it
is that we are so close. More meetings tomorrow... from 4-8! Love
you all, thanks for following, write me if you can I really enjoy all
your letters.
Elder Jackson
