Wk 73 - Christmas!

Companion: Elder McNaughtan
Area: Dublin


set up for the ward party!



Temple trip with Daylon


Howdy howdy!

Well another great week in the books! To finish off last pday we had a lesson with Kimberly! It went pretty well and she's going through a hard time. The best part was that Daylon, the one we're still teaching, came out with us. Not even a member but he came and bore powerful testimony on prayer. Idk who the lesson was for but I guess both! It was awesome!

Tuesday we had exchanges up in Mansfield!! What a day! I was with Elder Lowery! He's such a stud. We started the day off with service at the Roth's. I'm glad they remembered me! Hahaha it was a pretty fun time and they fed us lunch after. It was freezing cold and we gotta help cut a tree down! After that we went and got some homemade remedy stuff from the Andersons cause Elder McNaughtan wasn't feeling too hot. It was this nasty vinegar stuff that they use and since he did it we all had to do it. It was nasty! Then we got to have dinner with the Morrants! It was way good to see them! After, we stopped by a return appointment that they had and they ended up not being home but the roomate invited us in and we had one of the most powerful first contact lessons I've had on my mission! We tied the gospel into his life so good thanks to the spirit. It was awesome! He invited us back so Im excited to hear about him! We also got back in contact with David Teeter to finish the night off! It was sweet! They came so far and he was so surprised when I showed up! It was a great day!

Morrants!


visit to the old apartment

Teeters!

Wednesday we went to Elder Pay's District council! It was awesome! We went on exchanges with them right after and I got to go with Elder Michels again! We brought them down to Dublin and had a good day! We racked a couple of single ladies yards and found a couple of people and had a great lesson with Daylon that night! He's getting closer and closer.

Thursday we were still on exchanges for the first part of the day and ended up getting Canes before we took them back to pick up their car from the shop! We ended up getting to trade them our Malibu for an electric blue rav4! Haha it's so sweet! Way better car! 

Friday was the usual! Until we went with Daylon to the temple! That was sweet! He enjoyed it and definitely felt the peace from just walking around it. It was awesome! We also got to meet with the Dieders again on Friday. It was pretty sweet! We had a good chat with them and invited them to the ward party.

Saturday was very busy! We had basketball with a bunch of non members at 7 then making meatloaf for the ward party at 9, then we ended up helping set up the ward party after that. We also had follow up calls right after that! It was crazy! Haha but then it slowed down until the party. We had Daylon come to the party! The Dieders came down sick which was a bummer but life is life. The party was awesome! They tied the grinch into the true meaning of Christmas which is Christ. It was pretty cool! 

Sunday was pretty good to be at church. We had two there which was a blessing. We had three people to find on Sunday and through reaching out to formers and potentials in the area book we did it! Then at 8:50 we had one left to find! Then after praying we knew where we had to go! So we went. The guy that we thought about didn't answer but the best part was, someone we talked to in the past pulled in at the exact same time as we were leaving. She became the last new we needed to reach the standards! What a blessing! 

Well, miracles haven't ceased! 
Love you all! Hope you have a good week! 
And merry Christmas!

Love Elder Smoot
