So today was pretty wild. We had this guy named brother Price come to the mission with the purpose to observe us missionaries and give us tips for improvement and things like that. Lucky us, he came to our district council. It was honestly pretty fun having him, he was a really cool guy. After DC of course we had to get some food so me and elder ortiz took him to zaxbys. He came around with us for another hour or so. We helped Sheri w family history to prepare for the temple and then he dipped. The rest of the day was chill, had dinner with the Willards and then a great lesson w Doris.

We had another lesson w my man Brian Christmas and he is awesome. Hes read some of the BoM and told us hes been listening to JS papers podcast on gospel library haha. He really wants to come to church but due to his health he cant this week. We went on down to Spring City and met this cool guy John who said hed read the mormon bible. Went over to Sister Detillions, tried to keep her off harry. In the evening had a wonderful visit with Joan Gardner. Shes had a lot of trauma in her life so hopefully we can get her to a loving church. Also might have to keep her off harry too.

Had a good time at feeding roane and fleaaa world. Had a mega lesson with Autumn and michelle but we taught them the word of wisdom and it went well. They agreed to work towards living it but comprehension is always a debate. After their lesson we went home and had a super long discussion w harry about them and some other stuff. We had game night and Christopher and Josh were both there. Christopher REALLY wanted me to bring my pokemon cards so i did and this bloke literally went through every single one looking for ones that i was willing to give him. Bro's like 40 trying to nab some free cards off me. I gave him a bunch so he stop asking me haha.

Temple tripppp! Me, Elder Ortiz, Harry, and Sheri took ourselves up to the Atlanta Georgia temple today and it was awesome. There was like 15 youth and a bunch of adults from the ward there too to support Sheri. I was blessed to be able to baptize Sheri for her grandma and a couple other people. Just like Alyssa, it was such a sweet Spirit to see how happy Sheri was when she came out of the water. After the temple, bishop clutched up with some costco pizza.

Today was good. Church was alright too. No friends came which was bad, but a good day of church. After church we went and visited brian to see how he was feeling. Hes been recovering still but getting better. In the evening we had dinner with the Sanders and they are way cool.
