Well this week was pretty awesome. Start of the week was pretty much normal just going around teaching people but then Friday and Saturday is when it started to get really cool.
So on Friday we had dinner scheduled with the Bishop in Ingram which is a little town north of Kerrville. So we planned the whole day with visiting people in Ingram. But then in the afternoon Brother Hull (96 year old WWII veteran) called us and said he had us for dinner. And he lives in Kerrville. So we decided to stay in Kerrville to have dinner with him because he spent a lot of time preparing it. So we had no plans to meet anyone. So we were driving around then Elder Jackson said he knew a less active lady who lived nearby that we could go see. So we went there and she was outside with her friend. Her friend was drinking beer and smoking but told us she was a member she was just in a really rough time right now. So we opened to 3 Nephi 18 and asked one of them to read verses 18-20. As she was reading they both started crying. Then they said that was exactly what they needed to hear and that they knew God inspired us to go there and give them that scripture. So yea that was pretty cool.
Then Friday night we had an appointment at 7 with Monica an investigator. She said her husband would introduce himself but he wasn't interested in staying for the lesson. So we go there and I introduce myself and first thing he says is "Do you play Basketball" (There is 2 things everyone asks me. 1: If i'm related to David O. Mckay and 2: If I play Basketball) So I start talking to him about sports and stuff then he ends up staying for the lesson which was awesome. And I guess he liked us cause he invited us to watch the Super Bowl with him but we had to turn that down unfortunately. And he really wants me to play on his Basketball team that plays every Saturday haha.
Then on Saturday it was just awesome because we had a Zone Conference and Russell M. Nelson came and spoke. So I heard him twice in MTC then once more on Saturday. But yea that was awesome. He stood at the front and said he wanted to shake everyone hand so we all got to shake his hand.
So yea it was an awesome week.
