WEEK #19 - Colorado Springs Fountain Stake

Hey everyone! It's been a great week.
On Monday, we got our Subaru back from the repair shop and it is so much better. When it snows, we have fun on the corners:) we went and played basketball at a different church building with a gym the size of a tennis court haha. It was fun though.


Delicious Tucanos

On Tuesday, we had lunch at Tucanos and had some incredible food. That place is soo good! Then we brought Elder Stark and Elder Villaneda with us to help a family move out of our ward and into their ward. That took up the whole day because they didn't get a U haul to load everything in. So we had a bunch of people with their trucks loading stuff in and driving to the other house to unload it.
On Wednesday, we had a good lesson with Brother and Sister Larson. It is always good to meet with them. They are very generous to us :) we tried to meet with brother Suydam, but he didn't show up to our appointment. Our dinner was with the Fullers and Munns. After our dinner, Elder Hawkins and I were trying to teach the little kids the hand signals for the 10 commandments and it felt like we were trying to herd cats. I love their families though:) we had a good coordination meeting with Brother Springer and Brother Munn, and then suited up for volleyball. Elder Stark and Elder Villaneda came to play as well.
On Thursday, we did our studies and planned for the next week. We then had a lesson with Brother Brown that lasted 1hr 45min!! All he does is talk and talk and Elder Hawkins almost fell asleep haha. That night, we had a lesson with Kitana. Her husband decided not to sit in on this lesson. We are really trying to teach them both. We taught about the 10 commandments and even did the cool hand signals to go along.

Elder Stark and I

On Friday, we didn't have district meeting because of Zone Training. This zone training we learned about humility, charity, and obedience. It was really cool. They applied the Elder Nash style of teaching and asked "what did you learn?" And "what are you going to do?" After zone training, our appointment with sister king cancelled again which is a real bummer because we love going there. We had dinner with the Choate family and finally taught then our second lesson. It was really hectic. We set a baptismal date for the 4 children, but they are really flaky so we are praying for a miracle.
On Saturday afternoon, we went downtown with Elder Stark and Elder Villaneda and got haircuts at Paul Mitchell. They took a really long time and we got home in time for dinner.
On Sunday, we announced Mitch's baptism at sacrament meeting! There is probably going to be a huge turn out. He is already so well integrated into the church that a lot of people are likely to show up and support. That night we had dinner with Sister Woods and her husband. He is a WWII bomber pilot and is 92 years old. She is a very spiritual person and it was really cool to be with them.
It was a great week! I love hearing from you all, talk to you next week!!

it's going to  be a white christmas
