Chapter 9 - Christmas Eve

Hi Everybody,
It's crazy how long I've been out here!
Here's the rundown of my week:
Monday: I left a white shirt at another elders apartment from the previous week then we went to an old church and climbed up the spire. 

 
Then we went to Walmart to grab a few things and I got a candle thing so our house doesn't smell like old man. Then went to the library to email and then had dinner at the the second counselor in our Bishopric's home, and we had cafe Rio, which isn't out here, and it was so good!!

Tuesday: we talked to bishop after he finished feeding the cows and then headed to a little town where I found that big wheeled bike and it was so funny to sit on it.


Wednesday: (hahaha) I threw a gift card at my comp and nicked his ear really bad on accident. Woops! We went into town to go see a woman that we've been teaching and we both have felt like she's been avoiding us, and so it's kind of sad, but we just keep trying to get a hold of her. We had dinner with our ward mission leader and then went caroling with the youth for their mutual it was super fun!


Thursday,  No clothes!!! Hahaha just kidding no church clothes. We had a day of service! We started our day out at the Mills County storehouse helping in the food pantry then we did some studies, then went to this United Methodist Church to help serve food, and they said absolutely no tags or church clothes.


It was so fun to help people, and then we had a white elephant thing and I got a spot-light and it was super fun shining it into the field at the cows and at bishops house hahaha!

Friday:  The bishop came into our house and talked with us again for like a half hour and went our finding for the rest of the day.

Saturday, we got up and put jeans on! Sister Thomas asked us to deep clean the church for the special day of service.  After that we made some breakfast cuz we where hungry. After making breakfast we headed out to a small town to try some people, and started knocking. After that town, we were going to go to the next town over, when bishop called and said to get home so we did, and we went out with sister Mayther (and her dad) who's going  home soon, and went caroling again to some families and then ate dinner at bishops house and it was great!


Sunday, we had asked 8 people to come to the special sacrament meeting and 0 of them came! It was really sad, but our Sunday service was really nice! Elder Castell sang a song and then we had a linger longer after it, ( a linger longer is where everyone brings food to church and you all stay there after and eat because everyone lives forever away cuz we're in the sticks!) It was sooo good!  We had some smoked pulled pork and lots of other things!  We helped clean up then had to head back up to the little town where we were Saturday, for a guy that said to come back, he didn't answer so we went to the next town over to try this guy named Terry that I've never met before and tried to get ahold of a few times, I thought it would be a waste of time because we've tried him like three times , and he didn't answer. This time he answered, and we had an hour lesson! And it was crazy because it was my first time meeting him and I asked him to be baptized! Talk about listing to the spirit! It was the most amazing experience.

Love you all!  Merry Christmas!
Elder Roylance
