Elder Butterfield & Elder Rasmussen

tuesday we had a district meeting and i made elder griffiths wear a suit that was way too big for him to the meeting and then during lunch he ripped open his shirt revealing his superman onesie. (he brought spare clothes) then later we went to tract a road and it turned out that the road had no houses on it at all.

Wednesday we had an all elders training at the man. south chapel during which President Ulrich spoke about the atonement for the first 2 hours and then we had lunch and the next 2 hours for sports.. it was so much fun.

Saturday there was a WW1 ommemoration at the chapel, then we went to a place called Widnes to try to contact a referral. later we had tea at the Whiteheads' (senior couple) and then rode our bikes around trying to contact P.i.'s (potential investigator) and less-actives.

Tuesday, we threw the football around with one of our investigators, then later when we were tracting elder smith really couldnt concentrate so everything he was saying was jumping around and i couldnt help but laugh and the person at the door thought it was quite funny as well.

on thursday we had weekly planning and then the stevens came and picked us up to go to preston to get my prescription, we left at 4 and didnt get there until 7:03. then afterwards we went and ate at McDonalds and on our way out a "born again" started talking to us and asking questions so we talked to her and ended up giving her a B.o.M, we didnt get back to our flat until 10:15 and at 10:30 we got a call from the assistants telling us what was going to happen to us for transfers... which i was told that we are whitewashing out, my companion is going to barrow-in-furnace (sounds a bit hot but ive heard it gets really cold there in the winter) and i am transferring to be a senior companion to elder griffiths.
