Hi all!
I hope that everyone’s had a good week! I’m a broken record, so I have to say it again, this week has flown by!
Monday, we went to Columbus and played volley ball and chair soccer. I’m not exceptionally good at either of those, but we all still had a good time anyways. Monday evening we went back to Gloria Street and that place never fails to disappoint! We have people we’ve met from pretty much every house on that street, and the streets are always alive at night which makes it easy to talk because people are always out.
Tuesday, we had District council and a crap ton of contacts. At the very end of the day, we met this lady who was probably not all the way there, but she started talking to us and literally didn’t stop for 2 hours!! People in the south like to talk, but this lady knew how to TALKKK! Somewhat exhausting, but we barely made it home in time.
Wednesday, we were on the page, so we spent what felt like wayyy to much time on Facebook. It was productive work, but just a long time haha. We got to go to a primary missionary get to know you activity so that was fun :).
Thursday, we had weekly planning and missionary correlation meeting. We were supposed to have pickleball, but Noone showed up ??, so hopefully this week we will have people show so we can play again!
Friday, we had another exchange where I went across the hall to Phenix City 1 with Elder West. We made some super awesome contacts and had some really good lessons. There was one street we went to and met some Jehovah Witnesses and they were actually super nice. They had some good questions and it turned out to be a really cool contact!! They askebdif we wanted something to drink and I said no thank you because I don’t like soda (true statement). They asked if I wanted water, and I said sure. They then came out with a Kia (car brand) cup and said I could keep it because they had a lot of them? ? That was pretty funny to me haha.
Saturday, we unexchsnged and went to the projects and had some good contacts.
Sunday, we taught the first lesson at Fort Benning and there were 32 new people there and we had a really good lesson there on base.
For a spiritual thought today, I wanted to share a scripture 2 Corinthians 5:7. It was sent to me in a meme yesterday, but I really ended up liking it haha. It says, “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” First of all, there is a smiley face in the Bible! But it also teaches a very important principle!! Faith is such an important principle and is the first principle in the Gospel of Jesus Christ :).
I hope that everyone has a good week this week! Find opportunities to serve others and also don’t forget to watch General Conference!! It is going to be a good one :).
Love y’all, Elder Claussen
