Old People Home

So this week was an alright week. We were able to teach a few lessons and such. On Saturdays, we are now going to be doing a weekly 'lesson' type thing at an old people home. This past week, we got there and we were supposed to find a member that works there. At first we couldn't find her, so we went to the main desk. They asked us if we were the missionaries that were going to be teaching. We told them we were so they led us to a room with a bunch of old people in there that were all kind of out of it. It was interesting. But we started by reading out of the Bible. Then watched a movie on Christ.

As we were watching the movie, the member found us and told us we were actually in the wrong room. So Elder Garner went with her to the other room where they were reading out of the Book of Mormon. I finished the movie and then went into the other room. It was going really good in there. They were having a Q&A type discussion. We are excited to go back next week.

Jello, anyone?

Things are going well here. We have kind of run out of people to teach here, though. This past week we went over to Scott's to teach him a little bit. He made it to church yesterday was able to get confirmed. So that was good. But now that that has happened, we are a little low in the teaching pool. There is one guy that has come to church twice, but we can never get a hold of him or set up a time to teach him. But we are still trying. He knows a lot already and is basically ready to be baptized. We just need to be able to teach him.

Other then that, not a whole lot has gone on. We had a few lessons set up that fell through. But we are still trying to find more people and working a lot with the members. So things are still going good.

Throughout the transfer, we have been having this prank war with a member in our ward. The Bishops daughter. It all started when she toilet papered our car. Then we incased all of her hair elastics in jello. Then she thought she was clever in taking Elder Canfields scriptures. But, she also mistakingly left her's behind. 25 boxes of jello, a few ziplock bags to protect the scriptures, and 4 missionaries later, we finally returned them. The container weighed about 25 to 30 pounds. We attempted to extract the jello from the container, but as you can see from the video, it didn't work as well as we had hoped. But it was still funny.

After this, she gave Elder Canfield his scriptures back. Although, they were in side a big, huge bowl of macaroni and cheese. It was interesting. But all had fun.

Labor Day

So the libraries were closed yesterday so we weren't able to get to some computers. But with it being Labor Day, the stake had a big party down in Clearwater. It was a lot of fun. The whole zone was there. I played volleyball most of the day. Then we played a bit of tennis. Which I am not very good at. Then we played a little softball. It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of people there.

So, last week we baptized Scott and he was going to be confirmed this week at church. We called a few people to be able to get him a ride. But couldn't find anyone that could. When we finally found someone to get him, they went to pick him up and he said the he had something to do and couldn't come to church. So we're not sure what's up with that. But we are going to go visit him and talk to him.

Other then that, our week was pretty slow. But things are going to be picking up pretty soon. Hopefully
