Hey everyone!

     This week was another good week, quick and fun.  Had a good mount of meetings as well as some good finding.

Monday: We had a good p-day.  We spent a lot of the p-day with a couple of missionaries going home.  Elder Pettit was one of them, he trained me over a year ago, which is crazy to think about.  He's such a good man.  We also taught English in the evening.

Tuesday: We visited a potential in the morning, but she didn't have any time.  Did some weekly planning, and in the evening we were going to have coordination meeting with the branch mission leader, but he ended up not being able to make it.  So we just went out and contacted a little more.  

Wednesday: Had dsitrict meeting in the morning, which was pretty good.  We went to lunch afterward with the office elders and got some KFC at the mall.  Elder Erickson is a sick guy.  We also had meetings with K. and P., two of our investigators.  The one with K. was a little rough, but he did bring a couple of his friends, so we'll see if that can go anywhere.  

Thursday:  We had exchanges today with the elders from Białystok, which was fun.  I got to do some missionary work with Elder Dossett in my group, and that was way fun.  We went tracting in the morning, and there were 3 grandmas outside the block we were tracting, and they were having a FIT that we were tracting there.  They yelled at us saying people were still sleeping (the time was about 11:30 in the morning) and that we needed to be more cultured.  People sometimes... Met briefly with D., our less-active, and then met with B.. He's officially a new investigator and seems open, so we'll see how things go with him.

Friday: Did some contacting earlier, then had a meeting with P., our recent convert.  We're working with him on preparing for the priesthood, and that's going well.  Also had a meeting in the evening with W., a potential.  That was a really good meeting, we're hoping to meet with him again this week and make him a new investigator.

Saturday:  Saturday was way fun.  We had Sports Saturday in the morning, then we had a branch grill at the chapel.  A lot of members ended up coming, and as missionaries, we were able to get several investigators there.  So that was a good time.  We contacted in the afternoon before coming home for studies.  

Sunday:  Pretty basic day.  Had church, Elder Dickson made some delicious chicken for lunch (he's a great cook), did some tracting and studies.

Yea, the week went pretty well.  We're really busy, wouldn't have it any other way.  We're excited for what this week has in store for us. Hope you all have a great week though!
