I have had a pretty interesting last few days.
Thursday we had transfers and that is always a crazy day. I spent most of my day in the parking lot of Sams club in Joplin Mo waiting for a van to come pick up missionaries. Cool thing though was that my new companion was supposed to stay in Bentonville but ended up getting on the first loop through, so I got to spend the whole day with him getting to know each other. When we got back to Bentonville it took a while to get to our area. We had to find our keys and phone and then wait for about another hour for someone to give us a ride to our place. Then had a couple of appointments that evening that our Ward mission leader took us to.
Friday and Saturday we mostly just biked around (it was way hot) trying to meet members, People the sisters were teaching, and doing some of our own door knocking. I accidentally burnt a hole in one of my shoes while biking and on Saturday and I showered 4 times. haha the joys of biking!
Sunday was great we got to meet the ward, they asked us to bear our testimonies in sacrament meeting and introduce ourselves. We got to meet with a few other Ward members and investigators that evening and had some good visits.
Today we had to get a ride with a member to go shopping and we just biked 8 miles to the stake center to email and play basketball.
Recently I have been reading in the ward chapters in Alma and it talks a lot about how Moroni made preparations and fortifications for war. I love how that can apply to us doing little things, like praying and reading scriptures, so that we are fortified against the adversary. Also, there are times when the Nephites have some inner conflict and that is when they are weakened against enemy attacks. I just love reading the Book of Mormon every day. Just do it ;)
Love y'all and hope you have a great week Should have some pictures by next week.
