So hows my fam bam doing?
This week was pretty sweet. So my new comp, Elder _________, got here on tuesday. We got back around 4pm, and transfers ended at 1pm. we live so far away. and our ride was 45 mins late so that helped in the 3 hours haha.
Then the next day, the zone leaders went on exchanges with us, so Elder Cornbread (thats what i call him haha) was only here for one night then he was off to franklin, and elder _____ came down to the land of miracles, linden :) So that was wednesday, and nothing too exciting happened on that day... all of our appointments cancelled, so that was a bummer.
Then on thursday, we went to Hohenwald :) elder _____ loves that place bcuz that is where back in the 1800s 2 missionaries were killed haha. it makes for a good story :):) anywho, our appointments cancelled that day too so we went knocking doors. No one was listening to us, so it was pretty frustrating. Then we were walking by and we see 4 guys playing bball. So i was like, hey, lets go play bball with em. So i walk up and ask if we can play and they said sure. So here we are in shirts and ties playin bball. They were all around 18-20, and it was great bcuz it was a 9ft hoop, so elder ______ was just throwin me alley oops alll day long hahaha. Then we challenged them and if they won we would buy them lunch, and if we won they have to listen to our message. Of course with free food on the line... they accepted. and... WE DOMINATED! hahaha. so we got their addresses and next thursday we are going to see them :) woohoo.
then friday we walked all day after weekly planning. and nothing happened on saturday. but on sunday,______ and _______ came to church :):) they are a young couple that have a baby. the wife is a member and her parents are members, but the husband isnt and ive only been over to their home once. so i went over and sat by them and started talking to them and got them laughing :) always a good thing. and i asked if we could come over this next week and they said sure. and i also invited the husband to an activity the priesthood are having... shooting guns and eating breakfast haha :) only in the south. and he said he wanted to go so neat!! we can go to it! haha. so hopefully soon we can start teaching him and baptize him, then work on them going to the temple :)
its been a pretty good week. I love yall!!! stay classy!!
Love,
Elder Cawley
P.S. im so getting married before bert alert :)
