Transfers, Donuts and a Baptism

Okay so this has been a good but sad week. I am staying but Elder Huston is leaving and he has been one of my favorite companions. We have had so much fun this transfer. He is going up North so sad but exciting. 

Monday was good. We had a zone activity and Elder Huston, myself and some other Elders played a lot of basketball and volleyball. It was a good Pday and after we had dinner with the McCallisters. That was good as we always have great conversations there. 

Tuesday we did some service at the food bank, going through the bad food. We also had a donut kick this week, and got donuts like 4 days in a row, so that is always fun and surprise, my bell is creeping out a tad bigger...so much for my goal. I'll start this week haha. We went by Anthony's (he is the Star Wars guy). He is really cool, we ate hot peppers at his house haha. 

Wednesday we got more donuts and did some stuff on Mormon.org. We also went to visit a LA (Less Active) that doesn't know she is LA and she made us a really big lunch, so that was really nice!! We had dinner with the McNeal's (there son is serving in Saskatoon) and I went on splits and got to ride in a new Camero so fun stuff :)


Thursday we had a bit of a rough day, but everything was fine by lunch again. We had a good lesson with a part member family and then did some fun service with the Spanish Sisters. The guy we were doing service for kept talking to us and we were like, "Hablo Poco espanol" which is "I speak a little spanish". We also had a cool visit with another LA who is a NASCAR freak. It was so cool! He gave me a bolt that flew off of Kyle Bush's car during the Daytona 500. I don't like him, but a cool bolt. (This made me laugh as it's only a bolt...but I guess if you're a NASCAR fan it's a big deal lol). His best friend was also Dale Sr's pit coach!!! He has stuff signed by Dale Sr and goes to races free all the time. Talking to him was freaking cool!!

Friday we had a great day. We had an amazing DM (District Meeting) and that was really cool. We all bore our testimonies and the Spirit was so amazing all day, then I was able to baptize Hannah and the Spirit was so great!! I am so joyful and my heart is full anytime I can use the Priesthood to help someone come unto Christ. It was just such a powerful day for me and for her of course!!! It was a really great day through and through!!

Saturday and Sunday all we did was say goodbyes and get pictures for Elder Huston. We saw a lot of people and got a lot of photos. I also bore my testimony again on Sunday. I made a goal to try to do it as much as the Spirit allows. So it was a good last few days.
