This week was absolutely fantastic. Cole is literally the best. But before I go there, I'll back up a little to the start of this week!
Almost everyday we have taught Madison so that she can be ready for her baptism, but unfortunately we fell short and it will be moved to the 22nd. She is doing nothing wrong, she just needs to be taught the rest, plus it works out on our end because we will have exchanges next week here in presque isle, and our district leader will come down and do her interview then!
We also have been visiting with our homie brother alliose and ended up helping make a beef stew for dinner on Saturday!
Wednesday we had our district council and on the way back elder atkins was craving some cheetos (which he usually doesnt) and we ended up talking to a guy named Matthew and is open to meet with us!
Fast forward to Thursday where we had a sweet lesson with cole! And as we were walking in his door we met andrew one of his buddies who he's been talking to about the church and us and he invited him to our lessons/discussions! So we taught them both the gospel of Jesus Christ and asked cole about baptism and hes for it but not quite haha. So after that lesson we were pretty shook that he brought a friend and we where having the time of our life talking about the lesson on the drive back!
Then Friday was pretty sweet to! We visited with brother stiggle and invited him out to the primary program on Sunday (he didnt make it :() and then helped sort fish at the micmac farm! So we where scooping huge fish left and right and catching smaller ones and sorting them! It was a solid time haha. Then after we had to run to the church to message a few people and towards the end we where running out of time and rushed out of the church so quick, that elder atkins left the keys in the church...again... so we called a few people and eventually got back in to get them. So we went to the bothas smelling a bit like fish, but fortunately we had fish and chips! (Probably the beat fish and chips I've ever had)
Saturday we got into some good contact with kameron and invited him to church and he came! (Hes a young guy who hangs with the bishops family and his mom is less active)
Sunday came around and Madison and kameron came, cole was sick so that meant andrew wouldn't be there. But it was great nonetheless because the primary program was legendary. I love all those kiddos there so funny. After church we visited dan again and it turns out he was in the hospital the day before so that was spooky. Hes doing ok! Seemed out of it, but hes ok. Then we helped out with a bishops fireside which was so fun! The kiddos had to close their eyes and follow a rope around a simple obstacle course and we helped them out by telling them what's going on and how to do it, it was compared to life and how education will get you further in life. It was solid.
Then monday came around and we planned a lot more for the light the world and taught Madison again!
Also we had another lesson with cole and andrew today (p-day sort of disobedient, but we pretty much got everything done) and he invited another friend! His name is chase and hes a cool guy! So in the lesson we had an hour ago, we taught 3 YSA guys (plus Coles mom was around the corner on her phone but put it down a few times as we were teaching!!) it was so so good we taught the restoration and it was so good. So fun just a bunch of 18 year olds being taught by 2 19 year olds so great.
Anyways love you all and please don't forget to read your scriptures and pray! And it did snow 2 times once on Wednesday, but melted by Friday, then we got 10 inches today!
