On Tuesday I went in an exchange into Northside with Elder Syndergaard. We turned out to have a stacked day and with some extra exerted effort we got a rather above average lesson day. It showed me that A.) We can always have something to be doing. And B.) Setting mini goals during the day can also be really effective.
The second highlight of this week was the fat amount of caroling I got to do. Our zone activity was awesome. Elder Montgomery was my companion for the day due to the car accident of Elder Bell. Which was awesome. We were going and Bell had a which way to turn folly. As he started turning right a truck came from our right and we bounced off it. It was just some scrapes, and the guy was super nice. So that was fun. Elder Bell got red-dotted, so on our blitz he couldn't drive! ANYWAYS Montgomery and I got to do some awesome street contacting before going to a hospital to sing. When we got there early a guy stopped us by saying BYU? Sure BYU what's up. Turns out his wife was in the hospital and their nephew is serving in Spain. So a smaller group went up and sang to her. Then her next door neighbor because she heard the singing too. That was a really cool experience.
The zone activity was quite fun, we did a white elephant gift exchange. That was pretty entertaining, I almost got stuck with a shake weight. That would've been useless.
The third highlight was a blitz with Oakland on Saturday. I got to drive for the first time since coming out, but luckily it was a Corolla! Just like at home so I felt no problems driving. Also TiWi never talked to me. We got an awesome new investigator from that day, which was nuts. We got to her door and she just opened it! She was super solid and we'll be teaching her this week. Turns out we wouldn't have been able to ring the doorbell and her number was jank. That was totally lined up by God.
In other news this Pday morning we went to a museum that had 6 floors. We pretty much just saw the WW2 section, the sports, and visited the Mr, Rogers wax figure. All in a hour. Last time I ever go to a museum.
Also it snowed once this week, it was sweet. And now it's gone, which is great because I don't like being outside in the cold.
But still Merry Christmas
Elder Simmons
