5.2.16
Hey everyone! It's been a good week, because of the end of the month, we had to do a lot of paperwork and stuff for the Castle Rock and Parker South stakes.
On Monday, we had a great pday with everyone before transfers happened. First, we met at the fairgrounds soccer field and played soccer for a little bit. It got really windy and so we decided to move into the church building across the street to play volleyball. It was pretty good and everyone seemed to have a great time. For dinner, we went to the Pappenfusses and later to the Robinsons and had great lessons at both homes. This ward is so awesome that it is hard to pick a favorite family or two. All of the families are just too awesome:) it was a good day.
On Tuesday, we went to Horsepower while everyone else transferred and moved around the mission. We were the only ones at the ranch so he put us to work shoveling out the poop and all the good stuff. In the afternoon, we substituted the Spanish Elders at Bonaventure and helped all the tenants paint things to decorate their rooms with. We had a lesson with Brother Smith and then had a great dinner at the Wolfe's. They are a young less active family that we have been going over every week to have family home evening with:) It is good to see them progress and participate.
On Wednesday, Elder Tibbitts had to call an advisor about college because he leaves for home this summer. We also went to task force and helped them move furniture, put clothes away, and price different objects. We were going to have an appointment with Noe at like 5 but he ended up cancelling on us because he had to work late that night. We finished the night with a good lesson at the Young's and another at the Crabtrees.
On Thursday, we spend a good amount of time weekly planning and then went to Parker to help set up some displays for the Family Discovery Day event that they were holding. The displays are similar to the portable visitor's center that we used in Connecticut. After that, we headed home and started walking to our evening appointments. We went to the Jones and then went back to pick up our truck to have a lesson with the Arochos.
On Friday, we went and had a good district meeting and got to meet the newest member of our district. Sister Pongyan is from the Philippines and is really awesome! She will be a great missionary. We went to Bonaventure again and had a good time playing a memory game with all the people there. It was good because it helped them remember things from their lives. We had dinner with the Secrist's and a good lesson afterwards. It started snowing again today and didn't stick to the roads, but stuck to everything else. It didn't stop until Sunday!
On Saturday, we went to Weston Graves' baptism! We had been teaching him the missionary lessons to prepare him for his baptism. He is a really cool kid.
At the baptism, Bishop Rolfson came up to us and said that Clint asked him to marry him civilly to a member who lives in Boulder. We are really excited for him and hope this pushes him towards baptism. We set up a lesson with him for Wednesday. We then went back to Parker and took down the displays used for Family Discovery Day. When we got back we entered in some information for the stake. We had a good dinner with the Prescotts and then went over to the Jones again to have a lesson with them and the Nielsens.
On Sunday, we had our studies in the morning and then went to PEC until church started at 1. We had a great meeting because Camille Haycock, who just returned from her mission, gave her homecoming talk and it was great. After she spoke, they opened up testimony meeting and there were some pretty great testimonies borne. We taught gospel principles class and talked about the different gifts of the Spirit. After church, we went to the Glancy's home and they are pretty awesome. We had great food, great company, and a great lesson. Then we went to the Graves for a little bit to eat snacks and celebrate Weston's baptism. Then we went over to the Ganns for a great lesson and finished the night with coordination with Brother Kendall and call ins.
It was a good week and we are ready for sunny weather and not snow, but I guess that's what you get when you love in Colorado. The mission is the greatest thing ever and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Love you all!
Elder Kyler LaRose.
