West Columbia

This week was good! Monday we went up to West Columbia to play basketball with a bunch of other elders, which was way fun. 

Tuesday we had ddm here in Newberry which went very well! I think I am getting used to giving trainings haha. Hopefully they are good haha. We were also able to talk to a lot of new people Tuesday! We tried to just be out as much as we could. And we were able to see quite a few people! Which was fun. And we had some reteurn appointments which was way cool! 

Wednesday morning we did some service. And after the service we met the other elders at the pizza hut buffet for lunch, which is always a bad idea. No matter how delicious it is. Then we spent most of the afternoon doing some finding, which was fun. And we went to a nursing home to do some service! We got there and helped with bingo. Which is what were pretty much expecting to do. But after a little bingo they said we had a half hour to share a message, and we were totally unprepared! We did not see that coming. Luckily, we spend a lot of time preparing lessons so we had some stuff to share. It went surprisingly well! 

Thursday was great! I went on exchanged with Elder WIlliamson and we went out to the country to do some finding. Which was different to say the least. Everyone was very friendly! But also very redneck. Then Thursday night we went to Chapin and I conducted a baptismal interview, which was awesome! The sister had been working with this 15 year old for a while and he was super ready and his family is very supportive. It was a great experience, and the baptism is this upcoming Saturday and should be amazing! 

Friday we re exchanged and did a lot of weekly planning to get ready for this week. 

Saturday was a big service day! We met early and went to help a lady move into our ward,a don were doing that till around 12:30. After that we went to a members house and helped them grout their tile. For the whole house. It was very hard work. But fun! 

Sunday was awesome. Great talks. And we met after church with the relief society to plan a missionary lesson for them. It was great! Overall good week! I finished the Book of Mormon this week and started it again! It is so amazing! I love it. I love you all and miss you tons! Have a great week!
