This week was awesome!!
We dropped off Elder Portlock on Monday at the mission home. President invited me into his office and I had a great little interview with him. I then was in a trio with Elders Murray and Johnson for a couple of days. We had an amazing temple tour with one of their friends, the next night.
On Thursday I got my new companion. I love transfers, because almost all the missionaries are there, so I can just go talk to everyone. We'll my new companion is Elder Hogan. He is running at Utah State, so he goes running every morning, then today he's about to run 11 miles. I love him so much already. He is perfect for me, we are the same person and are getting a long super well. He's been out for 14 months now.
We have been really trying to work on getting members involved in lessons. Sometimes it can be interesting for the members I think. In two of our lessons we had members in, our friends were just saying some crazy stuff. Some lady picked up her car from the shop(this lesson was over the phone), so she was muted for like 5 minutes. We finally say her name to see if she was still there, then out of the blue she's like yes yes I'm still here. Then goes on to tell us that her car she picked up, the breaks weren't working. She told us that she flew up on a curb and couldn't stop. This all happened while she was muted. This lady then was still driving but at very slow speeds, man I was tripping. I was just so confused with what was going on hahah. I could only imagine what the member was thinking this whole time.
Saturday was so crazy; we over scheduled that day. To make it even worse a member signed up for dinner that live 40 minutes away...welp rest in peace to us I thought. We had a member lesson right before the dinner with a member. We run over to the members home ask them if we can come after our dinner with the other member. We asked them this because we were running like 20 minutes late and didn't have time to share a message. Thankfully they said yes. So we go to dinner and keep dinner to 45 minutes. On the way to the member lesson we were planning on having a lesson with one of our friends, while driving. Well our friend asked if we could do it in 15 minutes. We were like shoot. So we called the members who we were going to, to see if they could join us in the lesson and they said yes. We get to their home and our friend doesn't answer. So we share a short message then we had to go because we were having a lesson with the no brakes lady. When I type it out it doesn't sound crazy but the whole evening was just so crazy.
General Conference was awesome! I hope everyone had the opportunity to watch it. I know that I will be looking over the talks frequently until the next conference and I invite y'all to do the same thing.
Love y'all
