January 27, 2020 - Sweater Weather

Wow another week gone. 

 Wednesday we got up at 5 to go play basketball with a bunch of other elders which was way fun but we had zone conference right after so we all showered at the church and then went straight to the church after having a little yogurt we found in the fridge for breakfast (don't worry the sign on the fridge says if it's not labeled it's for the taking). Zone conference was way good we learned a lot about using the spirit and teaching members but also following up on our commitments. Right after we went on a trade off and I stayed in my area with Elder Conte who is from Idaho somewhere. We had a good time and helped Patt out then she gave us a nice cake afterwards which we still haven't eaten all of. 

 Thursday we went and taught Tom about the 11 witnesses and what that means and how it adds to the book of Mormons authenticity. They are actually really cool so if any of you haven't read them go read them. We traded back right after that. 

 Friday we helped out at Jackie's again and we did all sorts of odd jobs that she needed, nothing better (except for the things that are) than being in a barn with an old radio playing country music. A chicken laid eggs in the barn so we got to pick those too. We left and went straight to patts for the second time this week but she's leaving on a trip so we had to get the house ready. Then we went to the Loucels for dinner and had Alfredo! 

 Um Saturday we went and taught Walt. We talked about prayer a lot which is good because he needs to pray if he is ever going to find out if the book of mormon is true. He says he wishes a beam of light would just hit him so it would make it easier on all of his family so we are praying for that lol. Then we went to the church to do some family history work, research, and get sheet music for this upcoming performance that we are in. Then we had sports day which was good but all I have to say is that not many sports were played that day. Just weird games that don't require athletics or balls. Which is fine but it doesn't do the title justice. Oh we got new plates and bowls which is probably a bright spot this week. 

 Sunday we went over to the Alomia's for a brunch which was fun, and watched Emilio hydro-dip a hydro flask. Then we went home did a nice study then went over to bishops for dinner. That's pretty much it I love you all have a great week

  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...
