Monday November 30, 2015 - The One where I kick a Kitten (by Accident)

So this week has been a great week here in Albemarle. I've been slower than other weeks but overall pretty average. So American Thanksgiving was this week which was a lot of fun. We had two dinner appointments so we we're stuffed by the end of the day. Thanksgiving took up a lot of our time but we were still able to get out and do some missionary work for the evening. We decided to move our weekly planning session from the morning to the evening...

Monday November 23, 2015 - The One with a Surprise Baptism

This week was another really good week. Until Sunday.  This week we had a lot of service opportunities. Tuesday morning we went to Stanly Manor, a nursing home in Albemarle. A few members of the ward work there and they asked us to come and help. They got some new beds in so we spent some time that morning unboxing and building beds. The next day we went to Habitat for Humanity again. I bought some Christmas lights from there to put up...

Monday October 26, 2015 - The One with the Cow

This has been a really busy week so naturally nothing happened. It's funny that the busier you are, and the more appointments you have, the less things happen that are worth writing about. It's mostly since you spend so much time doing the things you are supposed to do, God removes all the stresses and hard times. That's a true principle. We have had really good success with our teaching. We have two ladies on baptismal date. One is someone that...

Monday October 19, 2015 - The One with the Wedding Reception

This was a really great week. It started off on Monday night one of the craziest teaching experiences I've had on my mission. We called it, the sermon on the court. So some of the Hmong people decided that they wanted to play volleyball on Monday night. They asked our ward mission leader who is friends with them to come and open up the church. He told him that Monday night is normally family home evening so we don't normally...
