MON: So we were in the park playing frisbee and these 2 guys came up to us and asked if they wanted to play Frisbee with then so we ended up playing like a Frisbee golf kinda thing it was super fun! And then had a lesson with a guy names Roy who is super nice but just tells us that we are wrong all the time so we had to drop him :( but then later had a lesson with Susan Hill and read form 3 Nephi and invited her to be Baptized and right now she is on date for October 12th!! Plz keep her in your prayers to help her achieve this goal!!!Β
TUES: We went on exchanges with Geneva and Elder Carlson cam eup to Fairport with me and haha he's not a talker in the slightest haha let's just say it was a pretty quite day π but had a lesson with George about tithing and it was weird leading the lessons today, I'm not the best at them haha but he said he will commit to tithing so Yaya!! It was super funny because when we walked in he was on the phone with someone who asked him to pay a lot of money and when he got off the phone, he was complaining that he spends way to much money and barely has anything so I'm like oh shoot, I'm kinda nervous to teach tithing hhaa but it went super good!! And then... We fi ally got the cops called on us wooohoooo!!! We went up to a guy who has a "no soliciting" sign but we still go up to those, and he opens the door and said a couple things (basically cussed me out) but we got the cops called on us later and man I was so happy hahah it's been forever!! But they said that those ppl can actually arrest you or something like that so we can't go up to those houses nay ore sadly! Then we met Rebecca who is so awesome, half of her family are members and she is so cool!!! She showed us her cool "missionary car" and it's like a meditation trailer and we went inside and it was super cool! It had heating and cooling and she brings it to public places so ppl can relax from there everyday job!! She's super nice and we started teaching her and she super interested and ya she is super nice!!!! Then had a lesson on tithing with Brother Eason and it could have gone better haha I'll learn how to take lead eventually :) but great day!Β

Later we stopped 9n Rebecca's street to finish tracking it and she sw wour car and texted us saying "hey I see you guys, come on in, I'll make some coffee" it was super funny and we taught her right then and she had alot of great questions about just trying to understand what are Churches stance is on things and it's super cool! Then we had dinner at a returning members house and had spaghetti :) with her 9 cats ππ± and man I swear like everyday someone talked about trump to us and how they hate him so much and awe he's going to start ww3 blah blah blah and she did too and the member we brought like flipped and went all protective mode in trying to defend trump haha it was super funny, cuz I'm just eating my food and playing with the cats π later we taught Martin and Maria about Prophets and related Moses to Joseph Smith and they said they don't want to be Baptized but believe in everything we say it's a little tricky! Then at 8:45pm we had a lesson with Joan and shared 2 Nephi 2:21-26 ya everyday is such a good day!Β
THURS: We had Saints Place because we were on exchanges Tuesday and we literally were matching bins and fixing then for 4 hrs haha the pic doesn't look like alot but it is hahaha there were so many hahaha and then did studies till dinner at the Whitcomb's and I'm pretty sure I've said it before but they have a little Walmart in their house for missionaries and you can get a smuch as you want and whatever you want for free!!! It's so nice! During the dinner we talked about integrity and their daughter was writing down stories from all the missionaries on their I tegruty stories and she is so much fun I love her to death!!! We then had a lesson with Brother Richter and man he is a chatty Kathy! It's like he talks and breathes while talking and never stops π but we somehow fit the entire restoration in there and he loved it and we are just trying to start from ground zero and rebuild his faith and get him back to church!Β
FRI: Weekly planning and man I literally can never focus in weekly planning hahah they are pretty darn long, π but we later had dinner at the Sorenson's who's son is leaving October 15th Spanish speaking to San Diego California! And Sambo got his endowments today yayayaya!!!!! So happy for him I love that guy!! We also met Kendra who is a language specialist and it's so much fun talking about different languages and she talked about how she was in Germany and she always walked around with this guy's who spoke French and German so she spoke French to him and he translated it in German and ppl spoke German and he translated it back into French for her like holy cow how does he do that haha that's super cool!!!! Then had a lesson with Bro Eason and did a Book of Mormon read with him in 2 Nephi 2, such a great chapter, filled with all the good stuff π€
SAT: Had a lesson at the park with Jeremiah and it was perfect hoodie and sweats weather oh my word all day there was a cool chill and it was dark and cloudy, man it was nice! And he did a lot of research and dug into some deep doctrine like Jeremiah bro LIKE WHAT?!?!?! he doesn't want to read the Book of Mormon aaaahhhh!!!!!! But super nice guy! Then went over to the Whitehead's and they are a nice couple and had a good lesson with them as well! All I really know is that they majored in ASL and he knows how to play the piano very well hahah then went over to Susan's house and taught the law of chastity and it went better then I expected, she said she will live it and understands it so thank good ess we got it over withπ then at the end of the night me and Elder Thornton started singing its a small world and started dancing, i think I hit an all time low π
SUN: I was just pooped all day, I had no energy whatsoever! But church made it all better! We then went on the canal and holy moly, there were so many ppl!!! Like a ton! So I was glad we finished haha I felt so targeted haha we had a kesso later at The Dak's we taught Maria and Thibisa about keeping commitments and the 2,000 stripping warriors and how important they are to really deepen their faith in Christ and to make it stronger! Then we went to F airport's 50th Anniversary which was great! We couldn't stay the whole time but it was super sweet! And we went to go finish Rebecca's street and she saw us again haha but she was driving away so we waved haha she's so funny! So at the end of our night we went to peri tonnoark and on the canal there was 1 family, and it was a guy who we talked to in the past so we just chilled and had a great time for like 20min :) great way to end the week!!
