This week was pretty fun. Elder Garcia and I spent a lot of time online trying to get things organized before transfers this next week. Lots of how-to presentations and typing up Online Assistant responsibilities and all the other fun stuff. Things are going really well.
This week was also a week of service. On Wednesday we got a call from the bishop asking us to help someone move into their home. Turns out the person we were helping move is a non-member and was taking the missionary lessons in Rexburg. He was progressing towards baptism when his doctor told him he needed to move away for his health...so he moved here. Pretty exciting.
We helped a family friend of the Morrisons with some yard work. We were trimming trees that were dead and helping drag the limber away. Lots of fun.
On Saturday all the missionaries here in Billings went to the temple grounds and pulled weeds. It is nice to know that we helped keep the beauty alive. Pretty neat experience overall.
The work is continuing to move forward. We have a lot of appointments set up for this week which will be nice, as well as team-ups with Elder Catron and Elder Thomas tomorrow. Then transfer calls on Friday. I wonder what is going to happen here :)
The scripture for the week is Philippians 3:14. I love how Paul says he presses forward. None of us have the option to sit back and relax because if we are not moving forward, we are moving backward.
Have a good week and stay cool.
