the week off with a solid day on Tuesday by taking our car into the shop
to get fixed. This meant we were on full bike the whole week. But all is
well because Elder Merrill is losing some weight! We tried to contact a
few referrals on our way back from the shop but we were unsuccessful.
We went to Wendys for dinner and to do some online proselyting. Shout
out to Aunt Mardi for the Wendys gift cards - they have definitely gone a
long way and blessed my life. :)
Wednesday we had district meeting which is always great. After this we
were able contact a few people and teach some lessons. After this we
went down to the church and taught a Book of Mormon class that went
really well. There were a few investigators there which was awesome!
Thursday is when things started to get weird. We ended up doing a lot
of things that were necessary to do but it limited our time and we weren't
able to visit anyone or teach. Friday we went to get the car back. I took
forever because stuff got messed up with the payments. Since that took
way longer than we expected that experience was pretty much our day.
Saturday was a crazy day. Our zone leader, Elder Brinkerhoff, was on
splits with us. We were riding bikes that day and at one point were on a
sidewalk on a hill. We came upon a tree in the middle of our path - Elder
Anderson and I swerved around just fine but Elder Brinkerhoff didn't make
it. His bike did a front flip and he became Superman. I saw the whole thing
go down and it was crazy. I rode up to him and asked him if he was ok and
he said, "no man." I felt really bad for him. We took him to the hospital in
the back of the AP’s mini van. After x-rays we all learned that be broke his
collar bone. The doctor referred him to a specialist. We are hoping and
praying everything turns out alright for him.
Now for some spiritual stuff. As a district we have been trying to read our
patriarchal blessings every day this transfer. It has been a really cool and
amazing experience. I have been able to find new things when reading my
blessing each day. I'm also now realizing parts that I thought I understood
may not be what they seemed as before. I get really excited to be a part of
all that my Heavenly Father has in store for me. Everyone should definitely
read their patriarchal blessings often because I have learned every time we
read them we can see our worth in Heavenly Fathers eyes. Our Father in
Heaven loves us so much and has many things in store for all of us.
I hope you guys have an awesome week! Love ya!
Love Elder Merrill
Elder Anderson and I took shopping carts back to Kroger that
were outside our apartment for service one night. It was fun!
