Hey everyone!
Made some good headway this week.
We met with Lance and Celsa and talked about what it is going to take to get baptized. We talked more about the Restoration and the
importance. Hes been prepared! But now he just needs to get to church.
We did some service this week at a donation center and it was a blast! We sorted books, organized some christmas decorations, loaded them up and took them across town, and tossed some clothes in a truck! We finished our load on the truck and asked them what else we could do and they told us to chill. So we found some books that needed to be sorted, then jumped in a huge truck with one of the guys and took it to a warehouse by DFW Airport (I sat on a stool inbetween the driver and passenger seats :O) and unloaded it. At the end, We were going so fast they told us to take a break (we could tell they were running out of stuff for us to do) and so they had us toss some clothes in the truck. Pics added.

What made the week so stressful was preparing for the Stake Mission Coordination Meeting that happened yesterday. Our task at this time every month is to gather all the information about each of the recent converts, reactivations, baptisms, lessons taught, referrals received and contacted, contacts missionaries make with their Ward Mission Leader, progressing investigators, and so much more for the ten wards in the stake and compose it into a document. It ends up being 35 pages long! We have to get the missionaries and Ward Mission Leaders to send us a bunch of the information and it is like roping a flock of cats. Yes, a flock. We finally got all the info back by 9:30pm on Saturday night and put the remainder together. When we got to the meeting in the morning exhausted, the Ward Mission Leaders and a member of the stake presidency tore us apart. The document wasnt correct here, there and every which way (apparently). We work with a bunch of businessmen (multi millionaires). It was very nice to have our mission presidents
counselor and a ward mission leader come up after and thank us for the hard work and tell us we are doing a good job.
We went on Exchange with the APs again! I went with Elder Mansaray this time and it was cool to be with each other again and see the change that has happened with each of us over the last 1.5 years. Im not as big of a jerk! Hes a greater teacher! It was fun. We taught well together.
Sister Tutt brought her nonmember husband to church this week and they sat in Bishops office and talked yesterday! He had a lot of questions for him and it was a very good conversation! We will start teaching him this week! Whoooo!
Everyone, “How can we expect it to be easy when it never ever was easy for him?” (Elder Holland). But these things make every other thing so much easier to bear! Life is so rich! We just need to make the most out of everything.
It is so much fun to be out here!
I love all yall so much!
