This week has been a bit stressful, not gonna lie.
Tuesday we visited a group of people. We weren't really able to have
too much success but we did find out that A.G. moved into our
ward behind a member. So even though his family isn't members, they
live right behind some AWESOME ones! Then later that day we did what
we were asked to do in a training by Elder Clarke of the 70 and that
was took flowers and ties to our Bishop and Ward Mission Leader and
their wives, flowers for the wives and ties for the men.
Wednesday, we visited to with a part member family. The husband who
isn't the member works at Buffalo Wild Wings and he had some ribs
cooking that he had gotten from work, as in they were uncooked and his
work gave them to him to take home. So we sat around eating ribs with
them, it was pretty cool. We also shared a thought about our potential
in this life. We had dinner with the P. family and we were able to have a
lesson with them too so that was nice.
Thursday, we had lunch with a few other missionaries, our zone leaders
and the missionaries that serve in the Ward next to us in Liberty,
because one of our zone leaders and a missionary in the Ward next to
us served by each other earlier and wanted to see one another. Then we
had district meeting, we just had the two departing missionaries give
trainings on whatever they wanted to, it seemed like there was no
better people to train than those who were leaving. After District a
meeting, we had an appointment fall through but it was almost time for
our dinner so we went to dinner. Then we visited a less active member
and finished with correlation at the Historic Liberty Jail.
Friday, we actually had a young man from Kearney join us for a mini
mission and he was with us until Sunday night, so from Friday Morning until Sunday night. That day we had an appointment fall
through then we went around street contacting most of the day. We were
able to contact a few people, and talk with a man who the sisters
dropped and address some of his questions, so that was cool. Well
that's when it happened... We got a text from our Zone Leaders telling
everyone in the zone to text them if they get a trainers call, which
basically is the AP's calling you to tell you that you are a
"potential" trainer, potential because some kids don't come out from
the MTC... I hadn't even thought about training, but then... I got a
call to be a potential trainer. So yea, basically I was freaking out
all Friday, because with this call, I am basically definitely leaving
my first area, which is really sad because this Ward has been
AMAZING!!! Plus I will have to train a missionary in a new area,
possibly even open up a new area. Well anyways, we had dinner with an
awesome less active family that night, that's basically the end of
Friday.
Saturday morning I had to go to a trainers meeting. I learned that
there are a lot more sisters than elders coming out this transfer and
there is only 1 Spanish elder coming out to replace the like 6-7 that
are leaving, oh and there are 3 Spanish missionaries training and only
1 Spanish Elder to be trained, so this will be interesting to see who
gets to train him. Well the meeting was INTENSE! It was a bunch of
people who feel they are super ready for the challenge and then, well,
ME!! So, basically I just decided to just need to do my best, because
if I shoot for the expectations they have I feel overwhelmed, but if I
just think to do my best that's when I feel better and like I can do
this. Well I got to see Elder Valdez! So that was awesome! After
the meeting we went and ate at a delicious Mexican restaurant followed
by visiting a few people then we had dinner at Cicis pizza with a
member, it's still not that good lol.,but after that we tried out a
few more people.
Sunday, we did studies then had church. Church was good, sacrament
about Fathers, Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!!, Sunday
School was about the Sacrament, for Priesthood the Relief Society made
some treats so the men stood around and talked for most of the time.
After church we visited with two less active members and actually set
up,a dinner appointment for this week with one! We had dinner with a
super cool family and had a youth lesson with their son before the
meal which was really nice! And that night our mini missionary's mom
came and picked him up.

This upcoming week will be hectic with transfers coming up. I hope everyone else will have a joyful week! haha As for me, it looks like I will be heading out of Liberty 2nd ward, which is heartbreaking for me because I LOVE THIS WARD. But there are other people out there for me to love! Anyways, have a good week!
