Week 18: Getting Robbed (Hastings)

Twas another busy week here in the lovely Hastings!

Thursday was very hectic! We had a teach with the worlds weirdest dude ever names James. He's been coming to church for years, but is so strange. He wants to start his own religion, but we taught him and he accepted a baptismal date for the end of the month! He said that well if he joined us he wouldn't have to start his own religion gotta love it. Then we went to TWells for a baptismal interview. Our whole district was there because there was a possibility that he was going to get baptized right after! The font was filled and everything but he wasn't wanting to so quickly so they are going to have to find time in his very busy schedule. It was very crazy!

Friday was the worst. After a pretty normal day we were headed to dinner at bishops house and my wallet got stolen on the bus so that was the worst. It's gonna be a tough rest of the month haha. On the bright side dinner was really good and we got to celebrate bishops sons birthday. We got him a tie and he was pretty stoked. He also wore it to church on Sunday and looked sick!

Saturday was filled with service in the morning for the most posh lady ever. She was gone but left the whole house to us with a bunch of good and drinks in the fridge! It was so great! The members here are the best. In the afternoon we had a visit with a member who struggles with smoking and his young daughter who isn't a member. It was very quick because they had to leave but we're gonna help him to try and stop smoking! It's gonna happen that's for sure! In the evening we went and had dinner at the best members, the Meachams! The husband is from west Virginia, so the fact that he's American already makes him awesome. They are just such a cool and chill family. They are so humble and just so fun to be around. They are truly the best!

Sunday's are always the best! The members are so great! Church was great as always. After we went to the Taekemas (Brother Taekema is the worlds most legit Organ player ever) we got to watch the "Be one" celebration from the other week and it was literally the best thing ever. If you haven't watched it yet I would definitely recommend it for sure! I had goosebumps the whole time I was watching it. The musical is AMAZING!!!

Monday was filled with more service and a meeting in the morning, so nothing too exciting.

Tuesday maidsotne came for exchange which you know what that means... party time! Elder Kápolnási and I went and did some service for a member and i was dripping sweat it was exhausting. After we had ward council which was pretty normal for once! It was a great day.

Today we're just chilling with the other elders and will probably go hang out on the beach and just soak up the Sun while we get the chance. Tonight will consist of some more basketball!!! It's a flipping party her in the Maidstone district!

Well the blitz is going great. Alma is the best! I'm reading about Ammon right now and how much of a stud he was! The thing I've learned from him is it's all about service. If you serve people first it makes all the difference. We're putting that into action. This week we're doing about 10 hours of service so it's going to be a tiring week! All worth it though. Love serving the members and non members here.

That's me for the week! Miss you all and wish I could be hitting up the lake right now but serving the Lord is just as good! Love you all! Have a wonderful and blessed week!

With love,
Elder Hruby
