November 18, 2019 - Life is Like a Mystery Dum Dum

This week has flew by so fast it's crazy! Here's the highlights:

We did service from a lady named Tonya and I mowed a lawn for the first time in a long time so that was good. She has this huge goat. Not even joking it's probably like 100 lbs and it eats everything. The goat jumped on the fence so I could pet her, that was nice. We shared a scripture and gave her the book of mormon (Tonya not the goat). Hopefully we get to teach her more.

I went on a tradeoff which is where I go to a different area with a different companion for a day. So I was with Elder Wyatt in St John's River which has the world golf hall of fame which I thought was a very weird place to put it but nobody asked me when it was built so yeah. I can't remember a lot except for biking 40 miles on narrow roads with no bike lane. I wasn't on my bike and the seat on this one sucked so my butt was so sore.

Friday night we went to the football game again. This one was not as exciting. They lost 42-13 so that sucked and that's the end of Friday night lights. The other team had a 6 5 DE whose committed to Georgia 300 lbs of muscle. He played everywhere and I mean everywhere --like he was even the punter so that was pretty funny. He tossed the QB like 10 yards on a sack.

We had an awesome lesson with this guy named Tom. He is pretty old and loves the Bible but then admitted to not studying it very much so idk how that works. He really is looking for truth and asks a lot of good questions so we are excited for that.

We are going to have a baptism on Sunday so that is super hype and we are trying to get ready for that. His name is Ty and he is 9 yes old. His dad is hopefully gonna baptize him but you never know because he is a very interesting dude.

Anyway that's all. My picture will explain the subject but I love and miss you all.

  Yes indeed, this will be my last weekly email. I don't know how all of you are going to live without my every once in a while updates lol. This week has been awesome. It has gone by so fast, we have had so many different things to do. On Tuesday we had beers with Brother dodge (don't worry its just root beer but he likes to freak people out and have fun with it). We went with him to a recent converts place, Bob, to watch a book of Mormon video and it was wonderful until the video ended and bro dodge proceeded to tell Vietnam War stories for 2 hours. It was brutal. OK so there is a recent convert here named Grace and she is probably one of the coolest people I've met on my mission. We got to talk to her on Thurs night and hear her conversion story and it was awesome. She is one of those people that just gets it, and she is all in for the gospel. Saturday we had our basketball night and it was way fun, we had a ton of people there and some new ones that have never come befo...

  Yo! This week was filled with a bunch of stuff so I'll give a few highlights Monday we golfed in the morning, hit up bdubs (their new sauces are trash) and then had a nerf war lol, felt like I was 12 again. It was awesome. Tuesday we did service at some organic farm, pretty cool since the lady requested help on Facebook, and that was something. We picked sweet potatoes for 4 straight hours, I could never be a farmer. I did find the largest potato and it was about the size of my head. Ants, spiders, and ticks were all prevalent but I'm still moving.  That night we went to Rhondas for a little good bye dinner. It was sweet we had lasagna and she also got apple pie and ice cream, because I said pie was my favorite. I felt I had made a mistake after she put two huge pieces on my plate with ice cream, but I was a champ and put it down. It was hard to leave but I challenged her to take the lessons for real and she said yes so that was awesome. Also she said I could come back anyti...

June 8, 2020 - Tropical Storm < Tropical Wool

  This week has actually been really good! We had interviews this week with President Wood and we got to do them in person so that was awesome! We also had a referral this week for a Bible study and this dude is awesome, his name is Sedrick and he loved being able to study with us. Hopefully he will be just as excited to hear about the restoration! We also finally got to have a sit down lesson our Chinese friend and it was awesome! Just kidding I have no idea since I didn't understand anything but I think it went pretty good and she wants to keep doing more so that's something.  It has been raining for like a week straight because of the tropical storm in Louisiana. Which is great but it washes out all the ants from the dirt and so they are all over the parking lot, we've had ants all over and in our car for 3 straight days. Yesterday we got together with a couple other missionaries to break our fast with Chicken pillows! In my family we call em chicken rolls but I've d...
