Getting really comfortable here in Bristol with the people and new missionary norms. Great week that I'm going to try my best to recall. Our mission did a "park day" where no vehicles were allowed to be driven, oh no I guess we have to walk, it was awesome! Unfortunately some lessons fell through but we had the chance to do some solid work online. We attended a meeting with bishop and the elders quorum presidency to discuss literally every member in the ward, 3 hours later we were finished.
Thankful our amazing bishop Youngblood provided some Chick fil-a which I can't even imagine how much that must've cost. We then made up a Google sheet with all the members we were tasked with visiting and reactivating and set out to work. Quite the adventure as we traveled every which back road tracking down members who haven't been to church in ages. Truly amazing to see this bishop dedicated to his ward and fellow shipping them, I may have busted up our little Chevy Malibu on the trek but it was worth it.
We have a week mapped out to see more of them as well as appointments to get to know them better. Thinking we should have done this awhile ago as I might be transferred out in a couple weeks but it's all good. Had some amazing lessons with some investigators, really trying to nail down some points and seeing some progress. We have been trying to remember that we might not see the "fruit" of baptism but we watered the seed along the way, just grateful to be a part of he process. High expectations must be accompanied by love for others as well as yourself.
