The Cello Returns (No Pics)

This week was good! Monday we went bowling which was pretty fun! And I suck at bowling ha ha. Tuesday was pretty low key. The whole week kind of was because we are in hard core finding mode right now. But we had DDM on 

Tuesday which was pretty good! The role plays are always the most fun for me at meetings. This months role play is asking inspired questions. So we practiced listening and asking questions as directed by the Spirit which was fun. 

Wednesday we had a member pick us up early and we headed to Georgetown to exchange. We dropped off Elder Griffiths and Elder Willie came down to Moncks Corner with me which was pretty fun. We painted pretty much all day Wednesday. Which was fun, but very tiring ha ha. 

Thursday was different for sure! I was still with Elder Willie and we had Mepkin in the morning which was fun! Then when we finished there we went to visit with so,e members which went pretty well! After that we went to the farmers market that is here and we had a family history booth. We sat there and whenever people wanted to talk to us about family history, we did! It was pretty fun and we heard some cool stories! We talked to one kid who must've been about 12. He said he was born in Russia and adopted here and never knew his birth family. So he asked if we would be able to help him track them down. And we said yes! And we are really hoping some members know how to work with that haha. But we gave him our number and he said he will let us know if he is interested! There is also a member here who is homeless and asked us to help him order a new Book of Mormon on cd. So that is cool, and different haha. Sadly though, we can't order those from the mission home anymore, so we are gonna meet with him this week and try and help with that. Thursday night we also has our Book of Mormon class which was good! Nothing to crazy. 

We were supposed to send elder Willie back up to gtown after that, but we ran into some technical difficulties and couldn't re exchange till Friday night. So Friday we went and saw a bunch of people. And got in and were able to have like 5 lessons! It was awesome! And then we went and changed back Friday night. 

Saturday was a lot of planning and such. Nothing to crazy though. Sunday was great! The sisters serving here told everyone I play the cello, so one of the members brought a cello to church for me and I have been volunteered to play next week. That was not the great part about Sunday. But we spent Sunday evening talking to a bunch of different members which was the great part! They are really the ones that help the work progress. I love you all and miss you so much. Have a great week!
