The first lesson was with the a family named the bowens! They are a part member family and I think their kids are all children of record. But something happens and we are trying to start teaching the wife! And the lesson we shared was like a spirit bomb! All the kids liked it and they were like please come back! So that is such a blessing. The only tricky part is the husband is a firefighter and his schedual is a little tricky but we've got a solid friendship with the kids (one of them is a total nerd like me FINALY everyone I've meet are all sport minded people so it's nice that I could talk nerd for a few minutes haha) and that was the end of pday!
The next day Alex had a little high school drama that we helped him with and it was kinda cute haha. But he texted us like I don't want to live anymore and we were like what?! What could have happened?! In short there was a lady friend involved. It's awesome that we've developed the friendship with him enough that he would come to us! Plus it worked out with elder scott with a certain lady and my 2 week long Facebook official relationship so that got him laughing 
. But it's all good and hes good now haha.
Then the next day was my bro birthday and celebrated by finally meeting with a potential that elder Scott and Kennedy found a while ago. Her name is Jenna and she didnt even know what missionaries are! So that was a eye opener. She has had quite a few miracles in her life and was wanting to know why they happened and had some totally awesome questions. One in particular I thought I had a solid answer to, but theres another part that is tricky. The question is why does bad things happen (to good people, children, in general) and I first talked about 2 nephi 2 with peoples agency and they can choose to do good things or evil things, but also we live in a fallen world were natural disasters and sickness happen. But then she was like, why do children get cancer? And you know that's a tough one. I first said that it brings people together, but then she said that it could do the opposite too. But when you have the eternal mindset that members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints have, it's all part of God plan and you'll see those past on again in a perfect state. We didn't have time to get to that, but I'm sure she'll like that answer.
But if any of you gave other things to add let me know!
But also that day, I ate the most food I've ever eaten. We met with brother stiggle just before Jenna were we had some awesome honey mustard pork chops and Brussel sprouts then for dinner we went with a older and shorter sister in the ward to a restaurant equivalent of golden corral, but you order food, and the salad bar is the golden corral part. It's called bonanza so yeah! Then after than had crepes at the whites. I think I weighed 150. (I'm normally 140) 
.
Then the next day we went to a high quality restaurant with Aaron Johnson, because he leaves and enters the MTC here today or tomorrow! But we had a good time telling him about what to expect.
Then the next day some JWs knocked on our door! We talked for a little and we hoped we could get a new world translation from them, but nothing really happened haha. Then we helped out sister Bowen move her furniture, and she may need to get a sharpie for her fridge 
. Then we finished up writing our talks or the next day!
Sunday was pretty darn good. And I wrote probably my 2nd best talk. Then knocked a little, had dinner at the himes white are an awesome family and very active in the school community. Then on Monday we visited Dallas and set up some goals with him that we can help him work towards!
Awesome week, kinda slow, but great nonetheless. I love you all and am grateful for so many things! Until next time!
