Cupcakes and Ceilings and Stuff!

This week has been pretty crazy. A lot of stuff to talk about! Elder Arney and I are getting along really well! Even though we are COMPLETE opposites we make it work to our advantage! Transfers are this week but its all good because we are both staying. Pretty crazy that we are both staying another 6 weeks! Elder Nielsen (my trainer) is also staying in the zone which is good because we get along really really well too.

So last Tuesday, after emailing, Elder Arney and I went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead with our recent converts and youth in the ward! We ended up having 5 people there for the first time not including the youth! They also all had family names! Even Elder Arney and I had names but I couldn't get baptized for my names because of my toe that I had surgery on last Sunday. But Elder Arney was able to baptize Peter (My first baptism) for my family names, which was pretty cool!

 

 

On Wednesday we had MTE's. Which is when a couple of zones get together and go on a big exchange! I ended up leaving Sweetwater and going to Otay Lake with Elder Boasten! Elder Boasten is pretty sweet! He played college football for the University of Alabama Birmingham. We had a really good day. We also found a street in that area called La Rochelle which is pretty sweet!

On Thursday we went to the Mormon Battalion with Charlotte who we met 3 weeks ago. She is getting baptized next Saturday! 

On Friday I went on exchanges with my zone leader Elder Jennings! Elder Jennings is a pretty sweet dude, he is like the happiest person I know haha. He doesn't have anything bad to say about anyone.

On Saturday we went to 2 baptisms for a different ward and Charlotte also had her baptismal Interview and she killed it! Elder Arnsten (my other Zone leader) told us that she is the most prepared investigator he has ever interviewed. 

 

After the baptism stuff we went and did service for Sister King. Sister King has had some problems with people breaking into her car at her place. So we went over there with Brother Beebe to set up a security system. Elder Arney was in the attic stringing wires from the cameras outside.While he was up there he tripped and fell through the ceiling! He caught himself before he actually fell to the ground and pulled himself up but he ended up putting a huge hole in the ceiling!

 

It was pretty crazy stuff! Sister King wasn't mad though. She was very calm and understood that things happen. She also gave us some groceries and she owns a cupcake business so she made us some cupcakes! She even made me some sugar free cupcakes which were way good!

Sunday we taught 2nd hour which went pretty good! We had dinner with all the Tongans in the ward! We ended up getting 2 referrals from them and giving one of them a blessing which was pretty cool. 

Yesterday was pretty crazy weather-wise! Right as we were about to go out the door it started hailing! It was coming down super hard I stepped outside for like 5 seconds and it looked like I just got out of the shower. We were driving around as it was hailing and no one was out haha. The roads were empty which was crazy haha XD. 

 

Last night we went over to Sister Kings again with Bishop to fix the hole in the ceiling. After 3 hours of trying to get the sheet rock to be the right size we realized that we got the wrong sheet rock and we have to redo it all over again haha. 

That's it for this week! Love you all!
