Fort Mac Chapter 4

Oct 20 (6 days ago) to Family, Garrett, me, My, Regan Wow it seems like it has been forever since I last emailed. This week has been super long and tiring, but full of wonderful miracles. Tuesday Well we had an awesome lesson with Nahia with Sis Fitzner and Sis Lokhorst. It went super well. It was a bit short, but it was powerful. We then helped a family move some stuff and then had lunch. We then emailed. We had a few potentials that we tried by and tracted. We then had supper at our apartment and waited for the ZL's. After they came we went on splits with them. Elder Stewart and I went to see a potential that said we could come over later. We came and she was busy and her husband sent us away. Not too solid. We then tracted for a bit. We ended up getting in a little bash with a BornAgain. It was interesting. We then met at Fitzner's and went with Bro Lockhorst to see a few people. We met with the LA Olsen's. It was a very interesting lesson. I learned a lot more about them than I knew before. We then went to Swainson's and extended a challenge to them. It was a great night. Wednesday Well we started by helping at Heritage Park. We once again took out the garbage and helped clean up. We then ended up by helping catalog some old ship manuals. We then had lunch. We then did Mormon.org time and then went to Bud. We are trying to help him regain a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but he tries to argue with us. We then tried some potentials and tracted. We had supper with Beck's and Sister Beech. It was pretty good. We then tried some other's. We ended up at Jackson's that night. They are a young couple who just had a baby. They are pretty cool. Thursday Well we had ZTM. It was definitely more relaxed than any of the other ZTM's I've been to. It was good. We learned a lot of things. We then had to leave pretty quickly to get to our lesson with Tiffany. We went with Sis O'Brey and Sis Beck. It was a pretty good lesson. Something from it seemed off. We realized that it was because we haven't really done a lesson like that for a while. It was when we go through 1 Nephi 1 with them. I haven't done it in a while and Elder Barber hasn't ever done it much. It was rough. A lot of improvement. Tiffany wants to get her husband involved. It's awesome. We then went back changed and went out to Kidd's. We helped them out a bit and then we had supper. We had to leave pretty quick to get back to Diggles. That was an awesome lesson. The Diggles know everything. It was the start of the new member lessons and they already know it so well. Friday Well we had Weekly Planning. We then tried Georgina and was able to talk with her for a bit. She is just so crazy busy trying to sell her house it's hard to meet with her. We then tried some other potentials. We had supper with the Diggles. It was so much fun. We then tried some other people. We ended at Simpsons. We were acutally able to catch bro Simpson at home. They are hilarious. It was so much fun. Just need to get them to church. Saturday Well we helped collect food at the Food Bank for the Food Drive. We brought in almost 7,000 pounds of food. It was a lot. We then had lunch and went to Jackson's to help with their fence. We helped mix concrete to make the footings for the fence posts. That was a lot of work. We then tried potentials and tracted the rest of the night. Sunday Well we had Ward Council. The Stake President came up too. He didn't have any comments at the end. This ward knows what's going on. We then had church. It was pretty great. After Church was amazing. The Diggle's received the Priesthood. :) It was so amazing. We then had lunch and tried potentials. We had coordination and then supper with Fitzner's. We tried by the Davis Family and He was outside. We ended up having a lesson with him out there with his son. It was great. We then tried other potentials and tracted for the night. It was a super eventful week. It seemed like it was soo long too. Crazy. :) Oh well. That's life. :D Love,  Elder Colin O'Neill P.S. from MOM----Sorry ya'll I have been out of town and had no internet. So these didn't get forwarded. Until now. New one coming tomorrow, also!
