Week 71

 Hey everyone! What a week it has been! 

It has been a lot of running around this week. We've had a lot of phone problems that had to be resolved. As well as getting a Covid test done for Sister Scott. Thankfully it came back negative. But we got everything taken care of!

There is the sweetest man in the Hamilton Mill ward that we met this week. His name is Fred and he is 89 and the most faithful man I've ever met. He has lived a long and devoted life to the gospel. Now he is pretty old, his wife has alzheimer's, and he can't see very well anymore. But he really wanted to read the Saints books. So we go over every week and read it to him so he can hear it. He is such a sweet man and such an example to me. 

We got to do another lemonade stand with our district at the park! And we met so many awesome people! We also all went to Friday night Magic: The Gathering. What a time. It is actually a great finding activity. We had 4 non-members come! We have no idea what's going on but it's a good time for the elders. 

On Saturday night, we went to the stake youth activity at the park. We showed up a little late and saw a guy sitting on the grass and assumed he was one of the leaders from another ward that we didn't know. So we walked right up to him and started talking to him. We asked him which ward he is in and he says "ward? I don't know what that means." So yeah not a member. He was just at the park with his kids when all our youth showed up so they invited his son to play with them! We went and played volleyball with his daughter and then invited them to come eat food with us and the leaders. He just fit right in and we got to talk with him for a while! We are going to go to one of his kid's games and go look at Christmas lights with them! We were definitely Italy led by the spirit to be there and to talk to him. They are so awesome!

Even though it has been a pretty long week and things didn't go as planned, we still saw God's hand working in our lives and it turned out to be a great week! 

Love y'all!
