How is everybody? We had a good week, pretty average week nothing too exciting.
Here's what we did:
So i told you a little bit about what we did last Saturday We went to Valley Forge National Park up in King of Prussia, PA. It was pretty cool, got lots of pics. We went to the visitors center first. And when we first walked in there was this teenage boy and girl that said Elders! So we talked to them a little bit and it turns out they were both high school students from Utah. And that they were there with a bunch of other high school students from Utah valley area there on a leadership trip. I guess its like a scholarship/essay thing. Anyways they just happened to be there the same day and time. We finished talking to them and then they told the rest of their group so the rest of the group came over and started talking to them. And some of them knew missionaries in our mission, one goes to school with Jared. It was pretty cool! Then they left and we left and we ended up going to the same places in the park. So we just kept running in to them. We we saw them again at the first stop in the park and they all started clapping and cheering as we walked up. It was a little embarrassing but cool. I think everyone else was trying to figure out who the 2 guys in the white shirts and ties were and why they were so popular. We decided to get a group pic with them. Anyways the park was cool, we went to the King of Prussia mall after that. Its like Americas 2nd largest mall or something like that. Lets see what else i did this week. On Wednesday us and the Widener Elders and Elder House cleaned out our Mission Storage Shed. We store all our extra furniture and other junk there. But it was getting really full. So we rented a trailer from Uhaul and got a bunch of stuff out of there and brought it to Goodwill and the Dump. It was a really long day. We had a good appointment with Moylan and Sister Plaice that night. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it went really well. We think were gonna move this date from June to sometime in May. Thursday we had Zone Training here at the church. That went good, we learned a lot about Planning. Since we do a lot of it, its important. Its also probably most missionaries least favorite thing. We had to bring a few more things to the dump that day. We went to pizza hut with our whole district and had a good time. We went over to the Mission home to set up a new computer there for President. Then we went over to the Baileys for Coordination and dinner. Thursday was an exciting day in the office cause we got our new paper folder that we just ordered haha. We have to fold a ton of papers by hand, mainly the sickle thruster newsletter that goes out to 200 + missionaries each week. And it takes us forever to fold them to fit in envelopes. So we decided to order a paper folder and it finally came. Its really cool, and is gonna make things a lot easier for us. Friday - The philly south zone needed us to come with the mission van to drive all the missionaries in their zone. They had their training meeting at a recent converts house instead of the church. So we picked them up and drove them all to the members home. Then we came back to the office. I helped the Houses order new iPhones, that was fun. Then we drove back to philly. Had lunch with the philly south zone. Then drove themm all back to the church. Then drove back to broomall for a dinner appointment. We dont really have much today.
I cut mine and and Elder Prestwich's hair this morning. We have Stake Conference tomorrow and its a broadcast from SLC. Never had that before. One more week til transfers. This week is probably gonna be busy we will be getting all those new apartments ready. Were actaully supposed to have 2 baptisms this week... but i think were gonna have to move them to June. Its Taft and JP they aren't quite ready yet. Ive also got to finish redesigning the mission logo this week. Cause president needs to order somethings with it on it.
Oh and Thursday was my 18th month mark i think. So cray cray!
Congrats Kylee on Graduating!!!
