Yuuuurrrrrrrt

Hey yall!

Hope your week was good and fun!

This week went by pretty fast tbh.  Hopefully soon I can say the same about the transfer. Because if I'm being honest I'm getting bored of Atlantic. But nonetheless it's been fun to be here.

On Tuesday we had exchanges with our DL which are always fun because my DL is awesome.  And because we had exchanges, we were able to go to Council Bluffs for pday which is also always fun because that where the rest of the zone hangs.  Our district usually gets screwed, because we are in the boonies and are like an hour away so it's rare that we get to go.

On Wednesday we just had a regular day up until after dinner around 5. When we were leaving our apartment I thought I had the keys to our car and our apartment building but it turned out I had left them on my desk.  And the most unfortunate thing is that our apartment has like little tags that we scan on the outside door to unlock it and get in the building.  Usually the front one stays open because of the diner that we have in our building, but I forgot that the doors locks at 5 so we were completely locked out of our apartment.  But God must have been there because our branch mission coordinator pulled up as we were walking trying to find someone to open the door for us.  We went and checked the office where our apartment manager works but they were closed and so we went back to see what we could do and lucky there were still people inside the building and our branch mission coordinator knew the guy that was inside and so he pointed to the door and helped us get in and I was super relieved after that because I thought we were about to be locked out all night.

On Thursday not too much happened,  it was honest just a usual day.  We have started to venture off to some other small towns near by to see what will happen and to see if the members that live in them are still there because a lot of the members on out member list actually don't live in Atlantic anymore.  So we have been tasked to help our branch president with cleaning out the registry because they haven't done it in year and it says that we have over 200 members.

Friday was also just a usual day knocking door and stuff but it was also the day that I hit 4 months.  It's crazy how fast time goes when you are on a mission and when people say that days feel like week and weeks feel like days they are not lying because some days will drag out for what feels like forever and but then the week just flys by.

Saturday was alright we went up north a bit to another small town called Audubon.  This is where the infamous Albert the bull lives. I'm not sure if I have ever mention him but he is just a giant statue of a bull and it's pretty cool. But other than that, while we were there we found a new friend named John and honestly when we knocked on his door and he came out I thought we were about to get shot because he had that thang strapped on him, but turns out he actually wants to learn a bit so we will being going back there like next week.

Sunday I feel bad because we literally did nothing.  We had church, then the super fun lady named Terri asked if we could help her move some stuff and so we did.  We ended up spending the whole day with her.  She feed us dinner which was pretty good and our fridge is chalked full of food from her.  But I'm not complaining, a little bit when the food goes bad and it starts to stink up the crib.

Update on people 

Max: he's doing alright.  Last time we went over we talked about the WoW and that lesson kinda went south cuz he started to get upset for some reason.  I think it because he was high already before that lesson and he said that the best he could do is show up sober for his baptism so we will see what happens

Barb: she is doing good she came to church this week and brought an inactive member that lives with her too so that wad rad.

This are really the only people who are progressing the most 

Ether 12:12

"For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith."

Faith is one of the most important aspects of being a deciple of Jesus Christ and living in this world today its easy to think that something are coincidence or that God isn't there to help you and this is when Faith comes in like it says in the scripture miracles WILL only come after the trial of our faith so when life seems hard and your faith us being tried know that God is always there for us and will bring you miracles and blessings 

I love you all! Keeping smiling and be happy!!!
