November 30th Week 13

 This week was awesome

Monday we did mini golf with my district and then me and elder dearden went to top golf with another district and that was fun. I beat everyone sooooo I'm pretty sure I'm a pro at golf now I'm better than my brothers sooooo. Tuesday we went to surfside DCM and then did splits with the surfside elders and it was so much fun. Went on a 3 miles walk with them and it was soooo cold. 

Wednesday we went to brother kings again and helped some lady who lost her house put her stuff in a truck and took her to a  homeless shelter that was kinda sad and scary at the shelter. We then had a few lessons fall through, that sucked. Then we decided to go on a run at 8 and I'm pretty sure I died, it was the worst thing in my life Haha. Thursday was Thanksgiving. We had three members meals, I'm pretty sure I gained 10 lbs haha it was very good. Love Thanksgiving. 

Friday we did weekly planning and went to a lot of member houses. It was a slow day. Saturday we did the same thing. Sunday I gave a talk in church. It was good, definitely rushed it as fast as I could.

It was cool.  It was super cool just glad my father wasn't with me he would have been there for 4 hours looking and touching everything. Love you dad. We then went and hung out with some other elders for the day. Tuesday we had DCM and that was good. I love those, we went to chick fil a for lunch, went back to phyllis and did some more yard work and invited her to church. She got sick yesterday so we didn't have her at church. 

Wednesday I did an overnight with surfside elders and that was cool, got to see how he teaches and got to see his area. We also decided to be old school missionaries and walk to a lesson about 3 miles away and on the way back it just dumped the whole way home. I was so wet and cold. Thursday I meet back up with my comp and drove to florence to do another over night with the AP and give a blessing to s sister who is getting ready to go back to her original mission  

Friday I was with elder Bartlett, one of the APs and we taught a lesson to one of our members, brother kings and that was good then I had to drive 4 hours back to the mission home to meet back up with elder dearden. We did another overnight with the APs that was fun. Saturday we attended a baptism for a family my comp taught in his last area. And then drove back to conway and stopped at the coolest store it was half Clemson and half South Carolina football stuff. It would be like a Utah and Byu store it was so cool.

11/9/2020 Week 10

Howdy yall, hope yall doing well. 

My work was pretty good. On monday we had Pday we went to top golf with some other elders and that was fun. Tuesday we did about 4 hours of service for a family who moved here from maine and their son is a less active member so we will hopefully try to get him back to church amd start the lesson with the mom and dad. my comp had a training with all the other zone leaders in the mission but since I'm not a zone leader I just had to sit in a different room and do my own thing that was fun hahah. 

Wednesday we had a zone conference with 5 other zones over zoom it was so cool. We had elder stanfield from the 70 join us and it was so cool the spirit was so strong it was amazing.  And then elder dearden got to have a meeting with him right after, that was cool for him. We also had elders quorum that was cool to get to meet the men of my ward. Thursday my comp had another meeting so I sat by myself again and was talking to people over facebook and got one of them to read out of the book of Mormon!!!!! 

Friday we did splits with elders florence and Marion it was cool they are both really good elders. I love being around other missionaries and talking with them. Saturday we did an interview with the mission president and it went well. He joined in on a lesson with me and my comp and he asked if she wanted to be baptized and she said YES, kinda she feels like she should but wants to learn more about the church so hopefully it will happen this week. 

Sunday we had stake conference and that was about it hahaha. 

Hope yall had a good week 

love Elder Fox

 

11/02/2020 Week 9

 Hey yall this week had many ups and downs. Lot more downs than ups. 

On monday I woke up with a sore throat and a little cough and that kinda sucked. But it was alright. We also did a ton of service and had a member meet with the Blair family. Tuesday I still felt like crap Haha and I didn't feel like doing anything at all. We did service for this lady named Kim. We pulled weeds and trimmed a big tree that was fun. We also gave her a book of Mormon and she was so excited about it and we invited her to read and she wanted us to come back for a lesson but she won't text us back so we are praying she will let us come back and teach her again. 

Wednesday was Pday and I played basketball with the surfside elder for a good 4 hours. I definitely thought I was going to die. I was still sick and had not workout like that for a while hahah. We played lots of games and it was fun. That's just about it for Wednesday. Thursday was the worst day ever. I was still sick so my Comp had me call the mission nurse and she told me to go get tested for covid. I was like no I'm good and I was just going to wait out the sickness I had. But she said I had to go so I did and that sucked really bad. My brain still hurts from it. So Thursday we didn't leave the house all day. 

Friday we didn't leave the house at all that day. Then on Saturday we had to be home by 6 because of Halloween and we stayed inside all day, around 9 I got an email that my test was back and we ran to the church and to see what it was and it was NEGATIVE so that was good  Sunday we had two of our investigators show up and had a lesson with one if them we hopefully will put her on date this next week. 

That was about it. Hope yall had a good week. Love yall be safe 

 P.S. GO UTES
