April 10th: This morning we went farming. It was really fun. We helped plant lemongrass After that we went and taught some lessons. We then went over to the church and had a barbecue so that was pretty fun!
April 11th: Today was pretty crazy! We got our smartphones so now we can have better communication with those were teaching and have access to Facebook. It is pretty weird being back in the real world but we will figure it out.
April 12th: Today was a pretty normal missionary day. Went around trying to teach people and ended up having a really good lesson with a family. When we left the dad was just watching random Mormon Messages so that was cool!
April 13th: Today was really good! We were able to get a couple members out teaching with us so we had some really good lessons. One with an investigator, and one with a less active family.
April 14th: Today was a really busy day. We started off doing some landscaping at our Bishop’s house and then went to a party and met a whole bunch of family members of one of the members in our ward. They challenged us to basketball but we won so it was good! We ended the night visiting someone who lives way out in the middle of nowhere. They had just shot two pigs and we went to go look at them. It was right next to a chicken fighting ring! It was pretty sweet! Hahaha
April 15th: Church was really good tonight. Some of the people we are teaching came so that was really cool. After church, we went to the hospital and gave the daughter of one of the families we are teaching a blessing. It was really good. After dinner, an investigator family invited us over for a BBQ. Then we ended the night teaching our Recent Convert. It was really good! It is exciting to see the progress of people.
