Last Tuesday after P-Day I was with Elder Felix from Lakeside Ward for the day and we went and saw one of his recent converts. She was having a hard time because she found out that she was going to jail. She is caught up in word of wisdom problems and her life is really just a mess now. We tried to help her and at that point my testimony was strengthened of why we have the commandments that we have. A lot of people we talk to feel like the commandments restrict our lives but in reality they make us free and happy.
Wednesday was a pretty crazy day. Since I'm training this transfer I had to go to a Trainer Meeting. After that we had Transfer Meeting and that's when I knew Elder Callahan was going to be my companion. After that meeting we had a Trainer Trainee Meeting. After that meeting we had a Leadership Meeting for district and zone leaders. Needless to say I had a headache afterwards haha. We had a pretty good day though. We taught 7 lessons which is a lot for a walking area!
Friday was a very different day haha. We had Zone Meeting all morning in preparation for stage 2 of iPads. Stage 1 is just getting the device and stage 2 is when we get the area book planner app. On the app we will have all of our plans and all the information about the area in the app and stage 3 is when we get online proselyting like Facebook.
After Zone Meeting we did some service with Elder Fraughton and Elder Bryant. After the service we were running late so the other Elders said that they would give us a ride after we changed. So we went and changed real quick and on our way to our appointment Elder Bryant, who was driving, had to make a u-turn. He didn't check before turning and we got t-boned by a Silverado.
The truck was only going like 20 mph and all of us are fine except Elder Callahan who hit his head on the side of the car and cracked his head a little. We had to call 911 and a fire truck and an ambulance and a couple police officers came and said he should go to the E.R. Elder Callahan said he would be alright because sister Schmitt was coming to check it out (Sister Schmitt is an E.R. doctor). Sister Schmitt said he would need a couple staples so the mission doctor came to our apartment at like 11 pm and put 4 staples in his head and left haha. Elder Callahan is doing fine though it was a good bonding moment haha.
Everything else is going great here! The members are starting to really trust us and help us by giving us names to visit which is great. Our zone leaders told us that our area is doing the best in the zone which is great to hear. Hopefully we'll keep it up.
Training is definitely a lot different then having a companion that's going home soon, but life goes on and I will adjust. Elder Callahan is a good missionary and wants to be obedient which is great.
Oh yeah one more thing - I have lost 41 lbs!!!
Well that's it for this week. Love you the Church is true!
