That time we got lessons canceled

So we have a new transfer ladies and gentlemen! *not my last one* but everyone at transfers was asking me if I was going home this transfer, I was like nope!! Swerved that one!  But I'm still kicking it here in Thornton Creek ward with my new companion Elder Nuttall from Little Rock, Arkansas. It has been great! We have had a lot of fun, interesting fact, this is my first companion who knows anything really about basketball so that has been great, we have played a lot of ball.

Anyways, fun story of this week, Friday we had 6 lessons scheduled, one at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 7pm, and 8pm. So basically every hour of the day not taken up by 1- weekly planning time and 2- the areas prime finding time of 5-7pm. And 5 of them cancelled, the only one that worked was at 1pm and even he almost cancelled and we ended up doing that one over the phone. But that was crazy, but we went out and fortunately that morning we had done really well and planned solid backups for everything, and found a new friend David who is just so ready for the gospel and then we helped our other friend Thomas accept to be baptized!!! So we turned the day around and later Elder Nuttall said that he felt like Alma the Younger in Alma 8:18, who after being rejected in Ammonihah and then told by an angel to go back "returned speedily" and that's what we did, blessings!

Fun fact number 1 - Elder Nuttall and I figured out our ship name, Elder Nutmeg. Why? Because in this mission everyone is constantly trying to kick things in between their companions, legs, and when we found that out we freaked out.

Fun fact 2 - we figured out I might be the best baller in the WEM, why? We were playing Saturday and Elder Nuttall was sitting while I played and he was trying to get me to shoot it to tie the game up, so he said "Pull up best baller in the WEM" so I pulled up and drained it, it was awesome

But in all seriousness I know that this is the work of the Lord and we are guided and protected by Him and His Holy Spirit, I love being a missionary there is no place I would rather be than here right now. My call is truly from a prophet of God and I know that Jesus is the Christ and the Savior of the world.

Love you all!
