Well this week was another awesome week out here in texas!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday there was a leadership meeting all day with President Durrant for all district leaders and zone leaders. Since my companion is a district leader he had to go to that and i was supposed to spend the day with Elder Treasure and Elder Dunbar down in there area!!!!! But on monday night we got a text from the assistants that said that President Durrant wanted me at the leadership meeting, so i got to go to that on tuesday even though im not a district leader or zone leader!!!!!! it was a great experience and I learned so much and I took a TON of notes!!!!!!! after that we got to drive around in dallas for a little bit with the vehicle coordinator because elder pond had to get his car fixed and he was the one who was driving us back to our apartment!!!!!! On wednesday we had district meeting which is always good and then after that we had an appointment at this mans house named John Brown!!! He fed us lunch and he is interested in the church!!!!! His ex wife and daughters are members of the church and he wants to find out if the church is true and i am so stoked for him to get his answer that its true!!!!!!!!!! i love teaching people, it is seriously so great and i never want to stop being a missionary!!!!!!!!!! Then that night we were asked to help with an activity that the Activity Day Girls in the farmersville branch were doing!!!!!! There were over twenty, 8-12 year old girls running around screaming haha it was a lot of fun!!!!! They made us grilled cheese sandwiches and we talked about missionary work and then we taught them about Joseph Smith and the Restoration of the church which was a lot of fun!!!!!!! There were even some non members there!!!!!! Then on Friday we had to go down to Dallas for the day because we had specialized training with President Durrant!!!!! I learned so much at that meeting and it was so great!!!!!!! And i got to see all my friends from the MTC which is always good and i got to see how they were doing in their areas!!!!!!!! On saturday night the air conditioning in our apartment broke which was horrible!!!!!!!!!! It is so hot and we are going over to the office today to get it fixed!!!!! Now i see why air conditioning is a necessity in texas!!!!!!!!!!!! In the melissa ward a guy just got his mission call and guess where he is going?!?!?!!? CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!! i was so stoked!!!!!! he is going to the oakland california mission!!!!!!!! Last night was definitely a very very interesting experience!!!!!! as soon as we were done eating dinner, it started getting really windy and all these clouds started coming in!!!!! then it started thundering and lightning!!!!!! then it started to rain really bad and hail!!!!!!! we were driving and we couldnt see anything cause the storm was so bad!!!!!!! we had to stop over at our ward mission leaders house so we could wait out the storm!!!!!! That was most definitely the worst storm i have ever been in!!!!!! im not used to thunder and lightning and apparently it does it here all the time in the fall!!!!! at least the weather is cooling down which is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shoutout to everyone back at BYU!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you guys are having a great time!!!!!!!!! i miss all of you and make sure you update me with what is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok everyone, have a great week and always remember to keep Jesus Christ on your minds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
