Monday was a way fun day! We went to an Air Museum with a bunch of missionaries and looked at a bunch of different airplanes and it was also next to an airport so we watched like 4 planes take off.. Elder Bishop was with us and he left on Wednesday so it made him super trunky! That night I actually went with Elder Bishop and Elder Crockett our zone leaders and Elder Ricks stayed back home to pack with Elder Edlund. We went into Dallas and picked up brand new missionaries and took them out for their first night. Their names were Elder Christensen And Elder Buell. They looked like a deer in the headlights! Elder Crockett took them teaching while i went with Elder Bishop to say goodbye to some of the families in his area. We dropped by this guys house and his name is Wayne but the missionaries call him Lil Weezy! Well he only speaks English and his wife only speaks Spanish.. i don't know how that one worked out but we got to his house and we asked his wife where Wayne was and she pointed down the hall and said shower.. well Wayne came out with only shorts on ........ (see email for rest of story) Well later that night we dropped the new missionaries off back in Dallas and we picked up Elder Sinclair and another missionary so we could house them that night. They were coming in from east Texas so when that happens.. they have to stay with missionaries the night before transfers.. Well we drove 30 minutes back to the Zone Leaders area and visited with a member family forever!! We got back to their apartment and didn't get to sleep until 2:30! We stayed up telling mission stories and laughing super hard! Maybe that's why they don't keep more than one companionship in 1 apartment?! hahaha
So we woke up the next morning and we had to leave at about 8 to drive into Dallas for transfers! I got to see tons of missionaries and took some pictures.. if you guys want to.. there is a member that takes pictures at every transfer and has a Texas Dallas Mission page on facebook and i am sure you will see pictures of me!:) After leaving Transfers i felt super trunky! Elder Bishop is one of the missionaries i am going to miss! We didn't know each other for too long but we acted like we were best friends! I told him that after i get home we are going boating!:) Well I got my new companion that day and his name is Elder Edlund. He is from Pleasant Grove Utah and has been out for almost 19 months now. He was serving in the Desoto area and now they combined our areas and so we both now cover the Desoto ward, Mountain Creek Ward, and the Duncanville YSA. This whole week has been super crazy with trying to figure out our investigators and our miles because as of right now.. we have not gotten any extra miles and our area is 3 times as big now!
This last week we did lots of teaching and lots of service.. We actually moved a family out of their house and President Durrant told us that we are not a moving service! We also are helping this part member family Restore a very old camper trailer that has been sitting in their junk yard back yard forever! They have so much stuff in their backyard it is super crazy! They scrap metal so they can get a few extra dollars here and there.. a lot of people do that down here in south Dallas. Sunday was my most tiring day ever! We had to be at church at 7:30 for ward council and we did not leave church until 5 at night. Something cool that i like what the YSA branch does is.. every fast Sunday they have after church whats called "break the fast" and everyone brings in food and we have dinner! its way fun and cool.. i really enjoyed it especially since i had been fasting since 4p.m. the previous day! This coming Saturday we are having the baptism for Kevin Harris one of our investigators and we are super excited.. i will send pics next week! As you can see.. i have had a very busy productive week!
