tuesday
for breakfast I had a smoothie, and during personal study we got a referral from soical media and it actually turned out super promising. it was from this dude named David. we called him and ended up scheduling a church tour later today. at the food bank today it was crazy once again. pretty much the food bank is always like VP on a friday night. well except its tuesday afternoon, and all your coworkers are super old and ask you to lift all the heavy things. that last part was good though. I need the workout and its hard to get gains without weights. I stole some bagels from the food bank then we were outta there at 2. for lunch we found some waffle mix so we cooked those up. sooo good after that we had the church tour, and we ran around mayo visiting people. for dinner sis Newman made us PBJs, and larkin and I reenacted the scene from zootopia where theyre in the dmv and theres all the sloths, so that was pretty funny. after we got home I played the piano(with my new metrinome ) worked out, and worked on my puzzle.


wensday
we woke up early today to go pick up the service missionary in our ward for zone zonfrence. zone confrence was spectacular as always, it was all about how we can work with members better. then we drove him home. on the way back we had a cop following us and Larkin was driving exceptionally slow. I was like that cop is gonna pull you over for driving so slow. and no joke. instantly, the cops lights turned on. like as I finished my sentance the Cop flipped on his lights. we pulled over and he ended up passing us but it was still really funny. after we dropped Elder Griffeth off we visited some people and a few media referrals. sadly one of them had a gate and didnt pick up the phone. for dinner we went to this tiny lil burger place with the wilsons. while we were there we met someone who aparently is a member. he was bapized here and moved to utah 4 years ago and now hes moved back here. hes a pretty whacky guy, but he said he'll come to church. after dinner we went to the church for the youth activity and it was once again a nerf war. it was wild. after that fiasco we went home, and I listened to the songs you sent me while I built more of el puzzel


thursday
woah. just woah. today was a crazy day. I woke up this morning and had not one but two bagels. it was definitely a two bagel day. we were planning on doing some weekly planning today but we had a bunch of visits all over the place so we didnt have too much time for it. there was this one lady who the Interlochen Elders reffered to us. she recently got off pills and all sorts of drugs and shes seen some pretty awesome miricles. the place where she lived in Interlochen was pretty much the hood. there was a meth lab behind her house that blew up and a whole bunch of other stuff went down. she seems super elect though. she wants to change and start coming closer to Christ. we had another lesson with this one dude who really likes to derail us. like the master cheffs we are we cooked up a fire lesson plan to teach the guy about the temple. we were gonna show him the temple tour video then call sis newman and have her bear her testimony about temples. but right after we watched the video the guy started talking about football and we couldent get him back on track. after that we had diner with the eakins and a lesson with Alex. Larkin was being slightly annoying so when I got home I worked out super hard. it was excellent. then I wrote this and konked out at 11


friday
i just saw a lambo. today I had a bagel, once again for breakfast. then we went to the park to plan. when we showed up at the park there was this one guy who started swearing at us so that was cool. during lunch I worked on the puzzle and played magic with myself(and won). we visited a lot of people today, and a lot of them didnt answer. weve found a lot of success recently in just talking to people when we see them outside. like literally we saw a lady pulling weeds in her yard so we pulled over and talked to her. we shared a scripture with her and she said it made her day. for dinner I had chicken and rice. after dinner we did a tooon of phone contacts. then we came home and went to bed.


saturday
today we woke up and helped the petersons move... and guess what?? we found a lizard. so I turned him into a lil earring. today we had a lot of member participating lessons planned but sadly a few of them canceled. a few of them didnt though. we brought sis newman to see the lady that the Interlochen Elders reffered to us. it turns out they have a lot in common and theyre pretty much bff's after 2 hours of talking. we just sat there and let sis newman cook. we had to leave halfway through because we had another appointment, but sis newman stayed a lot longer. after that we had a few more lessons and we went around inviting peeps to come to church tomorrow(hopefuly they come). for lunch our new peeler came so we airfried up some butternut squash and talapia. I kinda skipped dinner because I was still full from lunch. after dinner I called Dad and wished him happy birthday. it was super nice to talk to him. oh yeah I forgot to write it in here, but on tuesday I found out that I was insanely wrong on the car thing. Elder Larkin had is family look up a bunch of stuff and ss it and sent it to him. i mean my idea made sense in my brain


sunday


today we had no one show up at church but thats okay. it definitely wasnt because of a lack of effort. church was pretty awesome. sister Newman gave a talk and she was just spitting bars the whole time. after church we went to ward council pretty much so we can get members to come to lessons. bishop seemed super excited about it and he came up with this big plan for it. you know our bishop is kinda like trump. he has good ideas and does good things for the ward, but he talks to much. hes really preachy when he talks to anyone so its good and bad at the same time. during lunch we worked on the puzzle... its actually coming together now. I cant tell what it is but it seems pretty cool. after that we visited a bunch of people and had a super long lesson with Alex and Dylan. were supposed to keep lessons to 30 mins but that one was an hour and 15 after that we zoomed home, chopped up a squash and onions, airfried them, ate them, and now im playing the piano and working on the puzzle(not at the same time)
