Atmore Tradeoffs

 This week we got a lot accomplished but it felt like it took a lot longer than any other. On Monday last week we headed on up to Atmore Alabama for their district meeting on Tuesday morning. I love being able to be put into a position that I get to be really close to so many missionaries, it is half the fun of being a missionary when you get to be around such a strong friend group. After an awesome meeting that morning I got to go on a tradeoff with Elder Peterson from Colorado here in Mobile. We had a lot of dropped appointment this week but the contacting time we had was pretty good. The highlight of that tradeoff was definitely going to Chipotle for dinner, it's one of the only good Mexican restaurants in the south (Mobile has awesome restaurants). The investigators we have right now are still working on the problems they were last week. We got a headquarter referral last Saturday that I talked about in last weeks email, their names were Lisa and Israel Felix, from South Africa. On Wednesday we followed up with them and they have been doing so awesome! Israel was on mormon.org, reading the BOM, and just researching all he can. He was already pretty spiritual in the beginning so it wasn't very hard to fix that. Darius is experiencing some opposition but we are trying to help him through it. Thursday is probably where most of the frustration started. We set an appointment for our Chevy Cruze to go into a dealership 2 weeks ago just to get examined because of a recall that was sent out. Nothing ended up being wrong with the car but it took them 6 hours to figure that out. Luckily we did our weekly planning there so we stayed pretty effective the whole time waiting.

    As for the spiritual thought this week I wanted to talk about analyzing ourselves. I want everyone to think of all of the covenants they have made with God and every single thing you promised that goes in line with that and become better. In all covenants we make we promise to do missionary work in some way shape or form. Missionary work will only move as fast as the members do. All is well, love and miss y'all.
