Monday: We got to go and play Pickleball, which was super fun. Other than that not much though.  Tuesday: Did an exchange with Elder Traver this week, played therapist again, and went to go do interviews with President, but ended up not doing them because he had a meeting come up. Wednesday: Did DC with the ZLs, had a training on integrity which was nice, after that we didn't get district lunch because Chats had a Chapel tour to do. After that we did some finding and found an awesome family with 2 kids. The mom is named Michelle, and she is not super religious but is willing to hear our message. After that we had Ward Council and that is about it. I also got to knock on an actual door which was pretty epic. They didn't answer, so we were walking away, and I heard this, like, knocking on the garage door, Naturally, I went to investigate, and got the little girl on the other side to go get her dad. His name was Dexter, he's also super cool. Thursday: Got different bikes again

  Monday: Had a super exciting day cleaning the boarding from 9 in the morning to 8 at night… nothing much more exciting then that, just lots and lots of cleaning :) Tuesday: We did a little more cleaning, some finding, and visited 2 friends, Nathan and Abigail. We’ve been meeting with Nathan for a while, a 7th Day Adventist who believes in the Book of Mormon, and Abigail, who is a referral who we met for the first time today. She’s taking a theology class and her professor is having her read the Book of Mormon for her class. She had a lot of questions and was super cool. Wednesday: District council with the APs today, and then we did a split with Elder Fiesta, one of the APs (Assistants to the President). Elder Fiesta is super cool and upbeat, and we got to use the APs' Bakkie today, which was nice. He taught us some about setting multiple goals while finding to make it more fun. Thursday: We went and visited Nickey Nik-Naks, and then we helped set up some for Sister Millicent'

Another incredible exchange if I do say so myself Wednesday: District Council in Chatsworth today, which meant we got Tommy's sushi for lunch again. After that we did some door knocking, and then we went to Pick N Pay (Imagine Walmart) and just talked to some people in there. It was super fun, we got to find odd places to put invitations for people to find, and we met a cool lady named Sasha, we're going to visit her church on Thursday and she's going to come to ours on Sunday. Thursday: We Did some finding in Checkers in the morning, and then we went finding. Sadly, our finding was cut short due to me having a little accident… we were going down a hill and I was going quite speedily, and my front tire slipped in some dirt while I was turning and I d
