What’s up everybody! Hope everyone had a great week and an awesome St Patty’s day! Shout out to my boy Elder Franson! Happy birthday Big Bro!
Monday: Gonna be honest…Pday was a tough one. hahah. Our activity was Pickleball and with the current state of my elbow I wasn’t able to fully play, which killed me! (For those who don’t know I have had some pretty bad elbow issues the past couple months and still trying to figure everything out. haha!) But everything is good so no need to worry. lol My comp fell off his bike and hurt his wrist which then took us off our bikes for the next couple days which was hard!
Tuesday: I was on exchanges with my ZL Elder Connel again! He is chill and we were in his area this time. He covers Knotts Berry Farm so we were driving past it multiple times. It just reminded me of my guy Elder Atkinson cause he lovessss roller coasters haha!
We had a good lesson with a lady named Dorothy and it was good! We attended their youth activity and they played Pickleball and so that was fun but ya boy played lefty so I was so bad haha! Finished the night listening to about 4000 Hank Smith talks and it was pretty fun!
Wednesday: Back with elder Paget and started the day with a good ole zone council! Zone council is pretty fun but sometimes not. This time was a very “mid” one. But it was good to be able to hang with the zone. We then had weekly planning meeting so we didn’t get to work until like 5:00, which “Suckeddd”. I hate sitting around all day but it’s “Whatever”. And, because of Pagets wrist we walked for the reminder of the day so we did a lot of tracting and street contacting.
Bro miller takes us out for Little Caesars every Wednesday night, which is a blast! Get to munch on some pizza once a week, which is always good.
Thursday:
Honestly nothing special happened on Thursday so let’s just skip Thursday for this week!
Friday:
The bike I have been riding belonged to an elder who is now home. He came back to the mission and took his bike back, which was devastating. So we had to go to the store and buy a new bike, which I am loving so far. The new bike goes like crazy. We did a lot of tracting and visits, which was fine. The sunsets here have been glorious.
We talked to a guy named Eddie who had a lot “IF” questions about the Book of Mormon so it’s fun to answer those questions. Before the mission I would’ve never been able to answer them but it’s so crazy how just a little of study everyday in the Book of Mormon can change everything!
Saturday:
One of the worst days on the mission bro. hahah! We had 4 lessons set up and all 4 of them canceled it was soooo tragic! We were so excited about them and all of them fell through. So that was no good.
We stopped by some of my fav member’s home, the Bowen family. They are so fun and we always seem to just talk about the Blackhurst family at home. So it’s a good time.
We made some visits and met a guy named Emil. He is cool and said he could come to church the next day.
Sunday: Emil did not show up to Church. Devastating. However, it ended up being a pretty good day to be honest. Sacrament meeting always is the best. This high council guy came and talked and it was so interesting.
He was saying some wild stuff about how he was going to start meeting with the Jehovah’s Witness. It was so wack. He was joking but no one caught it cause our ward is like 90+ in age, which is average. Ha Ha.
We had a dinner with the Gills and ended the night at a members house for like 2 hours. They are so goated and we played UNO and a bunch of games when we knew we should leave but we were so done with the week we just stayed and chilled. Oops. This week was tough but the sunsets made up for it for sure!!!
I have be reading deep into 3 Nephi this last week and man… The Book of Mormon is so true! Jesus did come to the America’s and I know that is true!
Love yall so much! Please be safe and be good!
