Monday the 9th was good, because we were able to just be in Aitkin and we got to talk to family again. It had been a while since both Elder Layton and I had talked to family. We ended off the day going over to the Youngquist's and they are headed back to Utah this week, because they only live here in the summer. They are an awesome couple!
Tuesday we had lunch and service with Grandma Piecek. She has to move in November so we have been helping her clean out her basement. She is 93 so she can't really do it herself. After lunch with her, we came back to the apartment and had some scripture study, and got ready to go to our early dinner. We met up with him so he could give us a ride, but he wanted to do it right after work. So we ate at 4. At night after our early dinner, we walked on the popular bike path, because we figured we could talk to the dog-walkers, but we didn't really run into very many people. We got some great pictures though!
Wednesday we went down to Onamia, and had a lesson with Travis again, and we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And when we asked if he wanted to be baptized he had no hesitation and said he wanted to! His date is October 13th!
Friday we did a deep clean of our apartment and cleaned everything... like took apart the kitchen cupboards to wash and scrub em down. It will make the whole place easier to clean later. We ended off the day at Penny's. She made us some dinner, and then I picked up her dog poop in her yard for half an hour... nasty.
Saturday we had our apartment inspection and we passed with flying colors. Speaking of colors we made our bathroom Bright Hot Pink! Just because... also on Saturday we went to McDonald's and we saw Beau, Randy, and Ray again! I also talked to another guy there too, we keep talking to new people there it is awesome! We also did a little tracting and got two referrals from the people we talked to.
Sunday was Stake Conference and we watched it in our Branch building. There was probably about 80 people there! That's almost double the usual, and there were quite a few nonmembers friends there too. The technology didn't work to good, and the screen kept blacking out, but I hope the spirit of the General 70's talk helped them feel at peace even during the technology issues. Also Travis was there! After church we had some studies that were really good. It Helped remotivate me a lot. Then we watched the Face to face with Elder Soares and Christianson. It was okay, and again they had some technical difficulties. It just shows that even with distractions the spirit can be there.
Thanks for all the love and support!
