Tuesday- Exchanges with the AP's, super fun exchange, previously they were companions together in Chippenham so we visited a lot of the people they were teaching when they were here. We also had one last hurrah on campus tabling, talked to A LOT of crazy college students, pretty entertaining to be honest lol.
We had interviews with President Smith on Wednesday, Interviews are always the best. I feel like to be a mission president you have gotta just have infinite wisdom ready to drop on someone at a moments notice. We also taught a few member lessons about the North America North East area plan. Which for those who aren't familiar, the main area presidency came up with a plan for everyone to implement to strengthen conversion to Christ and his gospel, so we're trying to get the members started on that.
Thursday we had a great district council and a day full of contact attempts.
Friday was the very last return and report for the new missionaries, it always takes place the second or 3rd week into the transfer and the next time it would roll around President and Sister Smith will be gone, so thats a real bummer. But it was super fun, I went with Elder Caras, who is training a new missionary, we just went out and street contacted for an hour or so, but its fun to be with missionaries who haven't had experience in the city, or street contacting haha, gets them out of their comfort zone. For example, we met a guy with the gnarliest case of pirate teeth (use your imagination) I have ever met, but he asked us to pray for his knee and told us about how he is a member of the church, (he's not lol) one example of the many weird things that happen on the daily here in downtown.
Saturday and Sunday were filled with awesome lessons, we taught the restoration, plan of salvation and gospel of Jesus Christ multiple times each. Love being a missionary. I love the true doctrine we teach, I love how anyone, at any point in their life, can "experiment upon the word" and learn to start having experiences with God.
