| Biking on a long country road |
Howdy! Uhhh. I'm not sure if anything super crazy happened
but I guess we'll see. We're at zone p day right now so I might have to write
this a bit later. We ate burgers and hot dogs and played corn hole. Me and Elder
glade won the championship. Thanks to Chris, Matt, Ryan, Zach, and Dad for
training me. Haha we beat our trainers in the final match so it was sweet. We
played a bit of horseshoes and I bought a super sweet soccer ball. Also I got a
sick pair of shorts and we all got some so all the elders in our quad have
awesome shorts now. I also got a sick shirt from goodwill. Uhhh. A member
bought all our food which was awesome. She like made sure we were getting food
actually cuz normally I live off of toaster strudel and stuff but she got us
sandwich stuff and all kinds a things. So that was sweet. I'll have to look in
my journal for what I did but uhh. Yeah.

| A really cool community |
Tuesday: we went to Canes with a member and then went to
their house and poured a ton of mulch all around their house. Canes is so good.
But it's only in Louisiana. Apparently its gonna have a store in like Provo or
something soon. After that we went to the Jordan's and had brownies. After that
we had Po Boys at the Baughmans. Which is southern sub sandwiches. They only
know what a sub is because of subway Haha. They call them po boys. And finally
we went to COACH GREENS! With a youth so it was cool haha. We read with him in
the BOM I think hes slowly but surely coming to know that its true.
Wednesday: we had district council and then went to Chicfila. After that we went over to an inactive members house and did service.
It was really fun. They gave us meatloaf afterwards so that was pretty neat I
guess. I sawed a bunch of limbs and it was way tiring. Also idk if I mentioned
this but southern people don't say tree branches. It's just limbs. But after
that we went to ward correlation and talked about a cool missionary plan the
bishop has. And after that we went and talked to a nice old lady who wanted a
bible. It was weird cuz some people from salt lake called us and said she
wanted a bible and stuff so yeah. Cool. She talked forever though so we got
home late. I made shepherds like again and it was good as usual hahaha.

| A pond by the community |
Thursday: we went over to a house and mowed and weed wacked
and stuff. I got a wicked burnline from weed wacking. So now my right bicep is
red and the other one is sort of red haha. We met the dude who lived there and
he was super cool. He is an uber driver and said he would drive us for free.
Kinds dumb cuz he isn't in our area. He is baptism material. After that we
biked a bajillion miles over to Jackie's house. She had to leave as soon as we
got there soooo. Super dumb. It was only like 6 miles. So we biked a mile to a
members house and visited with him. We gave him a blessing and stuff so he
should be doin alright. Then we biked all the way back. So not a ton but man it
gets worse.
Friday: we did exchanges and it was super sick! I went out
with Elder Glade Haha. Hes freakin funny. A straight up goober. We went to
their area and went to a guy brother richardsons. We poured dirt all over his
backyard for him. And the stinkin sisters showed up. Jk they're okay. He took
us to foochows after which is a Chinese buffet or Japanese I'm not sure. But
still. I ate a ton of sushi. I dont know if I like it yet. But I ate a lot so
probably yeah. After that we went home and planned for a while then biked over
to a sketchy neighborhood. We tried seeing a ton of people and they are all
flaky and had to go or weren't there. Then we knocked on houses kind of near
the church for a while. A dog came running at us it was scary. Like foaming at
the mouth and stuff. Scary stuff. Then we went to brother Hamiltons and had
burgers. We talked about a ton of stuff I can't remember it all now hahah. He
is dope. Like he told us some southern black people sayings. Like "cold
drink" is what they call soda. And when they ask about someone they say
"how's ya mama and them?" Or whoever and them? It doesnt matter who
'them' is you just ask hahaha. We biked home and yeah. Super cool day though.

| Resting by the billboards |
Saturday: okay so we went to this members house. And he's physically
disabled kind of. But good gravy his house is a big ol mess. So we went over
and cleaned it up. Golly gee I was gagging the whole time. Like man. It looks
so much better now. But it smelt like urine and like just garbage it was gross.
But now it's good so woooo. After that we biked 10 years over to the old Baughmans. They had a crawfish boil and it was gooood. I dont love seafood but
like the spices and stuff make it really good. Sausage and potatoes with it are
super good too hahaha. Then we biked 10 years back and went over to Ramones. He
kinda wacky but I like him. After that we went over to the Carlin's and taught
their friend. We had s'mores and it was really good. They have soo many pokemon
cards. Like they have 6 kids and each of them has a huge binder of pokemon
cards. The oldest son has almost 5000 cards. Like woah. We called a few people
after that and we talked to an African man named Mxxxx. I might but have
talked about him before, but man I can't understand him hahah. We were like "we
got you a ride to church" and other stuff and he was just like "ok ok
ok ok ok ok" and that's all he would say like over and over. Hes so
funny.
Sunday: church is always good. We talked to a ton of people.
President Varner was at the 2nd ward so that was cool to see him and Sister Varner. We also helped teach a Sunday school. Kinda weird but yeah. We went to
the Romitos and had sandwiches and got cereal. They flip houses and they showed
us the one they are doing now. It's way nice. Then we went to the Ferrell's.
Brother Ferrell is freakin funny. After that we biked a billion miles over to
sister Poulsen's house. We taught a pretty good lesson so yeah. We biked a
billion more miles over by the Solars and met a ton of people just outside
their houses. They were all pretty interested so it was cool. We biked probably
over 20 miles so jeez. If I'm not freakin buff by the end of my mission I'm
gonna be mad hahaha. We made up code  |

Well uhhhh. Yeah. Zone p day was fun. We just got back from
the church playing volleyball and stuff. We're gonna go visit Ray and that nice
old lady today. So hopefully that goes well. Alrighty then. Gotta blast.
