Week two has been a completely different experience. After that first P-day time started to fly. Our schedules were also more set, so we were able to have free time every day which we have been using to play uno or watch church movies because there's literally nothing else to do here.
We also started our TRCs last week. I can't remember if I mentioned Caleb, but he was our first one. The TRC is just someone who is either a nonmember who wants to learn about the church, or they are a member acting like they are a nonmember. Me and Elder Simmons (my companion) have had some very good lessons and so far none of our people have had any problems with understanding what we have to say.
It's also been really nice to be able to have an hour every day to exercise and play sports with my district. We stuck to basketball for a while but sometime last week we decided to play volleyball as well which has been super fun because I'm 6'3 and am very good at volleyball anyways.
We also had an amazing devotional on Sunday about the things that people use to prove the book of mormon wrong. There are a lot of things out there that people use to prove it wrong. Like, Joseph Smith was too dumb, other people wrote it, Joseph Smith was a secret genius. Some others included concrete, barley, and writing on valuable metals didn't exist in ancient America. But the guy who was talking was able to find ways to prove every single one of those things wrong and then finished off with saying it doesn't even matter because if we read it and pray about it we will know it's true and won't need to prove anything to anyone. We have honestly used Moroni 10: 3-5 quite a bit here and have loved the promise and felt that conformation so many times.
I leave for Indiana next Monday at 6:15AM. So I'll be able to Email everyone around that time next Monday.
Also remember that everyone can still send letters and packages and emails all week. I can read them I just can't respond to them.
