The preparation day was overall really fun. It was the last one with the sisters for at least the next two. We tried to make it a good one. We got three members to come as well and we ran some volleyball and some basketball basically all day. I think I could compete against weston in volleyball pretty well now. To end off the night we had a Christmas dinner out at the Abbott's place. Bro Abbott is our ward missionary leader who and they are leaving to Colorado until the spring next week so they thought it would be good to have us over for a Christmas grub.
Tuesday was exchange day. Before we entered into the exchnage, Elder Shaw and i went to the highschool weight room at 6am and i had shoulders. It is Tuesday night as I am writing this and I am already sore. W. I was with Elder Chaim Monson. He is from Gilbert Arizona and he went to highland high-school. He has been on his mission around 4 months and has just so many talents already. He truly came out on the mission already converted to our Savior. Fun fact, we both played on the Arizona Thunder Soccer Club team without even knowing each other. We both have pictures to prove it. I took him on an exchange in Battle Creek. We met with some members and found one new friend. Overall a successful day.
Wednesday was a tough day. Stuff has been going down in the companionship, but we are handling it. God knew this would happen and he sent Elder Woolsey to the rescue. Thursday was the day I got to go on an exchange with Elder Woolsey on WMU.
The day overall was so needed. I realized how much I've missed being with him. He has so many strengths. We reminisced on all our past memories. We even made the memorable go to breakfast every morning for dinner. I took a photo so you could remember. Elder Woolsey was kind enough to offer his Maroon vest that no longer fits him. I am privileged to now wear it. I love Elder Woolsey so much if you couldn't already tell. We also had to do a rematch of arm wrestling. He took the win on the right arm and I took the win on the left. I wish I could put into words how much we were laughing together throughout the day. So grateful for our friendship.
This was a funny moment with Elder Woolsey. One thing about him is that he has amazing memory. He was talking to a member in the ysa branch he covers at WMU. The member starts explaining to him that his cornea is shaped like a cone. He was like wait is it keratoconus? Of course the member said yes. Elder Woolsey was quick to tell me about it and on Thursday, that member joined one of our lessons that we had. He recently had the cornea cross linking procedure. I've never related to someone in that aspect before, I thought it was really cool.
The miracles that are coming through Facebook. It is seriously miraculous. The Lord is pouring out blessings in this area truly. People just seem so willing to meet up with us and the members here are flocking to us for lessons. On Saturday we had 5 lessons scheduled with members present at them. Only two of them happened, but the Lord loves effort. We ended that Saturday doing our weekly pick up church ball from 7:30pm-9pm. We had around 7 non-members pull up this time which is an increase. I now have a blister on my big toe which is unfortunate.
Nothing else really went down on Sunday. A lot of finding since lessons keep canceling on us like left and right. Today for preparation day we have nothing planned. I'm not sure what we will do, but we will do something. Reach out, let's chat! Love you all.
