Busy Busy

 Hey yall! This week wasn't anything too crazy, but it was a fun week!

    So I went on exchanges with an Elder named Elder Pett at the beginning of the week. His area is a super rich area here in Lubbock and it was honestly difficult. We prayed a lot and constantly during the exchange to find someone who was prepared. We kept getting yelled at and doors slammed for hours on end haha. Finally, at the very end of the night we found a guy who they met earlier that week, and we scheduled a lesson for the next day. The elders went over the next day and put him on date! So sick!

    On Wednesday we had to drive to Amarillo and back to pick up a missionary headed home, so that was a bummer. But it ended fantastic because we ended up getting permission to do a temple session with him! It is seriously such a huge blessing to have temples here on the earth.

    On Thursday we got to spend a lot of time at the Tech campus! It was great. We were able to find four new potentials to teach, which is a huge blessing. There are so many students on Tech and we seriously get ridiculed walking around them haha but it's always worth it once we find someone who's willing to talk to us.

    We had a sacrament DISASTER. Our friend Kennedy came to church, and we didn't have anyone prepare talks. So it was really rough as far as the talks go, but we can't control that. At the end of the meeting, a member in the bishopric was making an announcement, and someone in the ward yelled something out about the announcement. They then continued to scream at each other back and forth from the pulpit and the seats. Long story short, Kennedy didn't love it. But we taught him a Restoration lesson after and he really enjoyed it so hopefully it'll work out! 

   Sorry I know this week wasn't super eventful! We spent over 19 hours on the weekend preparing for our Mission Tour this next week. We have two members of the seventy coming so it should be great! Have a great week! Love yall!!

Love, Elder Ryan
