Response:
Well.
Last Tuesday (because I consider this the start of my week since it's P-day)
Not much! We get up, plan the day, study, write letters (last week I wrote... 8?), shop, go to the church to email for 2 hours (groceries get temporarily stored in the church fridge... we basically live here), then hang out at home. Maybe take a nap. After that we try to find stuff to do - visit someone, contact people nearby and talk about the Book of Mormon, call people about rides, etc.
Wednesday
Wednesdays here are hardest because we don't have any rock solid activities planned in except Book of Mormon Class at 7 and maybe a meal with a member (which must be at exactly 5pm). So. We invite people to Book of Mormon Class, plan Book of Mormon Class, knock on doors, visit people, and walk around (if it's not too cold, which it has been lately!).
Thursday
Two planned activities take up a good chunk of the day: RMT (Referral management Time, which is now just Sister Pitchford's time to do her online "going home" program called My Plan) and service at either the local food bank or Rebecca's Cafe. After that, we do the same thing as Wednesday - talk to people, organize rides (yes, we need lots of rides), ask people if we can come visit, actually visit, and so forth.
Friday
This week we had Zone Conference! This happens once every 6 weeks. And this time we got...
*drumroll please...*
SMARTPHONES!
Goodbyyyyyye dinosaur phone! WHOO!
Now.
We.
Have.
Emojis.
I am so happy.
But you know why I'm most happy?
Do you know what having smartphones means???
We can now reach so many more people and see so much more success in our proselyting efforts!
There is so much potential, and it's truly amazing.
I know God made it so we could have technology so we could turn the trickle of spreading the gospel into a flood. I am so excited.
Saturday
It was weekly planning day, and since planning is on phones now, we spent most of the day trying to figure out how to plan using our planner app. It was crazy. Still is. We're working out all the kinks still as we learn how to use these Samsungs (especially being used to iPhones). But we were mostly successful! Spent a lot of time at the church using the wifi.
Sunday
Church! Then our weekly biscuits and gravy meal with the members here. Then an appointment with a new investigator! She's now on date for baptism! WHOO! Then dinner at another member's. Then picking up stuff from a member. Then we were out of miles for the day and had to go home so we worked on updating our electronic area book. *fist pump*
Finally, Yesterday
Not very eventful. We had a good new member lesson with our recent convert Stephanie about prophets and General Conference! And guess what we talk about with our other recent convert! General Conference!
Watch it. It's amazing.
Today
We played frisbee golf with the elders, and we've been emailing.
Gotta go! I hope you watch General Conference because it's awesome.
Also, I love you all SO MUCH.
Okay bye.
Sister McKay
