So, last friday after our morning pray our roommates still were not getting out of bed
but we continued on and plan and got out at 10 and just left them. We came back and
ate at the house and they were still not having a good time so before we left we took their
temperatures and tried to find them the right medicine. We texted our mission nurse and
got out to our appointments. As we are out the mission nurse is calling us saying that
prbly, we shouldn't just leave 2 sick elders alone at the house. But, we were like...well
we have appointments. so we just continued on. Our ward had a baptism that night at
6 and Elder Schmutz, since he is super nice and knows the family apparently, would be
coming. So, we didn't wanna go to the baptism cuz we don't wanna miss time for
appointments but, we know our members will get a bit mad if we don't come. So, we visit
someone we are teaching (a guy we found last week and came to church but yes, is not
married) and we taught him and 5 then invited and took him to the baptism at 6. The
thing is at 5 also, the husband of the mission nurse called us and said they would be
taking our roommates to the hospital and they wanted us to come with. I told him we had
set appointments at 6 and 7. He asked if we could be at our house at 8 so he could pick
us up. I said yes. soo we taught this guy and brought him to the baptism but elder
schmutz came late, past 6:30. So that's when the baptism started. As we were walking
from the sacrament room to the font I said hi again to elder schmutz, someone I just saw
yesterday. He told me that this member family has apparently brought a non member
friend. So after the ordinance we went found and talked to this lady. She was super nice,
saying she was shy being at our church for the first time w/ her 2 kids. We asked when
we could visit her. She said, anyday at 4 pm. soo I asked if we could come sunday so
that her husband could also be home and she said yes. sooo that was rlly cool cuz that
would'nt have happened if one of the people that we are teaching didn't come w/ us to
the baptism. After talking w/ her we left early w/out saying goodbye to Elder Shmutz and
we ran to our next appointment. the next appointment was a return appointment with this
family that we just found. It turns out they actually thought we would be not coming until
next friday but we taught and they totally committed to come to church even tho this last
week was stake conference and the stake chapel is far away. Then, we ran home
(all of this is rlly running).
Elder Healy, the senior couple was at our house and took us to the hospital. He told us
that ealier, he called the ap's and asked what he should do about us having appointments
at 6 and 7 and apparently they told him to just pick us up anyway, and just have us miss
our appointments but, elder healy decided to not do that. haha, we appreciated that a lot.
btw. that appointment on sunday w/ that sister that came to the baptism, she was out
shopping when we went to her house and she said that they'll be going on vacation soon
to their province so she doesn't know when they are coming back and the other family
didn't come to church but...we have a return appointment w/ them and we will be following
up with that but neverless, very exciting
Love, Elder Soulier
