The weekly. Ya know I'm trying make these as exciting as possible. But to no avail....

Monday: Monday was actually sick! We got to go to the Field of Dreams!! It lost a little magic becasue the corn wasn't in season. But still it was epic. I also got to go on the house tour because the lady leading them was a member and hooked all of the missionaries up hard core. 

Tuesday: we got our weekly double meet pizza at papa Murphy's. So that was top notch. Followed up with some member appointments!

Wednesday: we grinded and found 3 new people!! It was a huge blessing! 

Thursday: uhh to be honest... I don't remember. It was good tho! Plus 2 more npbt (new people being taught)

Friday: got to do some service for a part member family the other elders are teaching. So that felt good to get out of the house high key 

 

Saturday: we went and mowed the lawn of the most savage, kinda grody dude. Named Flying Bryan Tripp. He's an ex motocross rider from California. Super nice. They love the elders. But the man needs to lay off the tanning oil.

Sunday: had a solid sacrament meeting. Uhhh. Yeah it think that was about it 

Highlight of this week!

We had a mission goal for each companionship to find at least 1 new person. Which I was kind of bummed about. Because in the states that kind of tough to do. But.... We prayed a lot and worked really hard and found 4! And then 3 more lined up for next week!! Feels good to actually get stuff done. 

Anyways love you guys a lot! Hope you all have an amazing week. Some pics to come later today!

So here we are. Back at it again. For anyone who didn't know I'm in the Iowa Iowa city mission. Serving in the Dubuque 2nd ward! My companion is named Elder Caulk from Sacramento California, he is a goofy guy but I love him. Haha He is sooo funny and loves to work. So due to the current conditions we are basically only allowed to work through technology. So that includes making funny videos and cool posts to go on our face book page. So that means weekly emails are a little dry if I'm being honest lol. But here we are. I'll just give a little up date about every day. 

Monday: pretty much a regular old p-day! Buzzed my head and grilled some burgers with the district followed by some ball. 

A classic day in Iowa 

Tuesday: hammock naps are the best. I'll just say that. And also so is calling members. And former investigators 

Wednesday: I don't even remember what happened tbh. 

Thursday: see Wednesday 

Friday: had a great lesson with a family in our ward!! They are a sweet young family. They had a good spirit about them and it felt super good to teach. We are trying to contact as many people as possible in a day. And it's paying off. We are having a lesson almost every night

Saturday: uhhh. We made an epic trick shot  video. Cuz.....that's how the quarantined missionaries do. 

Sunday: we had come follow me with a family in our ward. That was super sick!!! Also finally was able to get in touch with our Bishop!! He was super cool and we had a lesson with him that night. We have a good plan now and are feeling a lot better about the potential this area has. 

Over all it was a pretty solid week!!! Lots of ups and downs. But for the most part. We got stuff done!!  Also I'm starting to love Iowa more and more. Its low-key and so beautiful. Pics to come hopefully!
