Fort Mac Chapter 7

Wow this week has been absolutely crazy! You can only plan so much, then when you turn it over to the Lord, he makes miracles happen. :) Monday Well we had pday. Emailed then did laundry while talking to Sis Fitzner. Had a great talk with her. It was awesome. We then tried some potentials. We had supper with Rusnell's. Supper wasn't quite ready when we got there, so they invited us downstairs to play some pool for a bit. It was a fun night. Our other lesson fell through. Tuesday Well we went tracting in Waterways, just the fartherst south of downtown. We then had lunch. Visited with Grandma Jean for a bit. We were supposed to meet March at A&W, but he didn't show. We then went and saw Bud and Dan. We had supper with Olsen's. We then tried some potentials. We also met with Bro Crane. We actually ran into at the hospital earlier and didn't know who he was. We just stopped by and had a visit with him. Wednesday We tried some formers and potentials and tracted in Timberlea. We then had lunch and tried some people downtown. We were walking from a potentials house and started talking to this guy, we walked with him almost the whole way across. We then had to walk back to the car. We were about 2 houses away from our car when this guy pulls up. He is from Salt Lake and was up here for work. he offered to take us for lunch. We really didn't want to, but we did. We then did Mo.org. We went and saw Tenicia and Nick. They are really cool. Super solid. We had supper with Sis Kidd and then ran to Stewarts to have a lesson with Diggles and them. It was a fun night. I love teaching the new member lessons to them. They already know everything so we can teach more in depth. Thursday Well we had District Meeting. We then went out to the Kidd's for a bit. It was good out there. We then rushed back and went to supper with Dahl's. We then rushed to Fitzner's for splits. I went with Bro Schmidt to Diana. That was a very interesting lesson. She is from China and is trying to find God. Her "boyfriend" is a member who set up the lesson. She had been taught many times before as well. It's going to be interesting teaching her. Her kids go to Catholic School and are very understanding. It was different. Always learning new things. Friday We had weekly planning. We were also going to have a long day of finding that day. In the middle of it Bobby D called and wanted to take us out for lunch. We tried some people downtown after that. We then met Bobby D at the mall. He is a LA, because he lives out at camp, works 24/4 shifts, can't get a license and the buses don't run from camp on Sunday morning. He is incredible. "His life could be a movie"-Elder Barber. We met him at the mall and he took us to Foot Locker and bought us new shoes. We then went to Montana's for lunch. It was incredible. We then tried some potentials. Well we were going to have supper with Olsen's, but they never called us back to confirm. We get a call from Sis Olsen and she asked if we could pick up some things for her, before we come for supper. We weren't hungry, but we went. It was still good. We then went to Fitzners' and went with Bro Fitzner to go see Bro Judd. We reinvited him to bring a new friend into his life. Saturday Well were in the middle of studies and Bobby D called us again. 2 days in a row. It's awesome. We tried some potentials. The temp also dropped like a rock. It was cold. We met Bobby D at a Chinese place and we talked for a bit. We then tried LA Olsen's, then tracted some more. We took a shorter supper and then stopped by Roy's they were in the middle of supper so we told them we would come back. We then stopped by Simpson's and had a great talk with them. We went back to the Roy's and they had gone out. Sunday We had Ward Council. It was a long weekend so there was no one there. There was the two councilors of the bishopric, the RS pres, Sunday School pres, Bro Fitzner and the 4 missionaries. :) Guess what we took the majority of the meeting talking about. :) We had church and then ran home for lunch. We had a few lessons set up that all of them fell through. We had coodination and then had supper at Eric's. We then stopped by Davis'. We actually got in with them and had a great talk with him. It was great. We were able to answer soo many of his questions and just have an open conversation. It was remarkable. We had a really good week. When most of our plans fell through, they were filled. It was an incredible week. Do all you can and then put it on the Lord and he will take care of the rest. That also applies to anything not just planning. :) Love, Elder Colin O'Neill
