Wet Blanket

Our megabed

Howdy! So uhh this week has been pretty wild. We had transfers and stuff so it's been weird. I'm not the greenie anymore Haha. Well. Still green but like eh. It feels like time slowed down again kinda. The humidity is getting worse Haha. My notes for this week are pretty messy so I might forget some things.

So uhh tuesday: we had a district p day and it was pretty fun. It was our last day with Elder Torsak which was kinda sad but it's okay. We met this inactive family and they are really cool. They remind me of some cousins of mine. But uhh. I dont remember who. 

Me I guess

Wednesday: today was transfers. A moment of silence for Elder Torsak.

Alright well he gone. We now have Elder Glade and Elder Williams. They are really cool hahaha. We biked to phillips and chopped up more of his back yard. We used this ditch blade thing. It's like a machete with a long handle. It is so cool. I feel like a shaolin warrior when I swing it around hahahaha. It cuts through everything it's so cool. It makes you super tired. We went to the Hardys and had like keto burgers or something. They were actually really good. We went and talked to a lady named April and she seems kinda off but interested none the less sooo. COACH GREEN. he flippin bought us pizza! But it's like really specific with thin crust and junk. So its expensive hahah. Hes crazy. It was a really good lesson though. 

The 2 duck companions

Thursday: we had to sit in the church forever because of some leadership meeting thing. So I just hung out with elder glade for a while. We talked to a guy named Abel and read some of the BOM with him. Hes super cool but we gave him to the other elders so we probably won't see him for a while sadly. We went over to the Becks and taught their daughter and her husband. They had a wicked good dinner. I'm getting so fat. But we had a really good lesson. Funny thing though. We were planning on showing up early to plan a lesson for their daughter but when we showed up she and her husband were already flippin there! So we had to improvise hahah. We gave a blessing and uhh that's all that happened that day. 

Friday: we had district council today. Pretty boring Haha. But after we went to a crawfish boil. Yeehaa. Super cool. Mommas got some pictures of that so talk to her if you want. We got to go do service for that inactive family that we met on Tuesday. They are super cool Haha. We helped them out with this bunk bed they are making. After we talked to misty and her family. They are still dope. We gave them a soft invitation for baptism. They didn't totally reject it so uh that's good hah. But they said they would think about it. We talked to the kings after and had pizza yummay. And then COACH GREEN. Wicked chicken. I do but remember what we talked about but I think it was good Haha. 

My watch tagline

Saturday: We biked all the way to Phillip's and cut his weeds. I saw a tarantula it was so scary. The ditch blade is soo sick. Just slices through everything. Then we went to the fontenots and helped them move a couch. We biked back and that sucked. It was like 12 miles. And after that we went to coach green's neighborhood and knocked around. We found a dude named Ray and he is super cool. Surprisingly interested. We also talked to these Mexican dudes who didn't speak much English but they just gave us ribs and stuff right there. It was wack. Mexicans are the nicest people here I've discovered. They had us talk to this old dude Wayne. He seems like he really needs help and so hopefully we can talk to him more. Umm. We biked back home and then went to stake conference. We biked like 20 miles. It sucked.

Cool House

More Cool House

Sunday: We went to stake conference in the morning. I cannot stay awake it is impossible. But it was good I think. We were gonna go see Ray but we went to the bishops and talked about this super cool idea for missionary work. Where we select a group of like 10 members and then we make them a 12 week training program. Where they study each day and stuff. So they are given callings as ward missionaries and we train them. It's a lot cooler than I make it seem but yeah. After that we went and gave a blessing to a member and then went to the Romitos. They are cool people. Too smart though. We had sammiches and then gave them a message. We went to the Bradford's afterwards and did a practice teaching with them. They gave us like 20 referrals no kidding. Freakin sick. We went and visited the Zylks for a sec and then Stephen. He said he was actually interested and that he would have turned us away if he didn't want to hear the message. Which is awesome cuz his cousin who's a member didn't think he was serious. But yeah it was pretty cool. Uhh. Yeah. Ok cool.

A Big Old Tree

Monday: so today we went shopping and junk. I'm gonna make shepherds pie again. Cuz it's that good hahaha. I bought a notebook to draw in cuz I'm kinda getting into that. Uhhh. Some chips. Random stuff. Yep. We went to chicfila and then to the church. Then we helped one of the senior missionaries move some junk into a van. Then they took us to chicfila and got us shakes hahahah. Sick. We played some sports at the church which was pretty fun. I wanna do something different though. Cuz basketball suckz. After that we went and biked over to Ray's. He is like the most legit dude ever. Like he was asking so many questions I had no idea what to do Haha. Like he was asking what we believe and how does he get baptized and all that jazz it was crazy. He bugged us about our first names and now he flippin calls me Elder Tim. But still he said a cool prayer and mentioned me in it so that was really cool. He has 3 kids and kinda reminds me of Matt. 2 sons and a daughter haha. He also said he would read the BOM. But he has a hard time believing in books other than the bible so hopefully he works. He called us his elder buddies and we've only met him like once. They fed us spaghetti too which is wack for a nonmember. So uhh. Hes super awesome. After him we biked around and talked to some random people but nothing too special. We biked home and it was cool. It rained today and we almost had to bike in it. It is so humid. Like a wet blanket over you. Like the sun went down and hours later it's still 82 and wet. Jeeez. 

Well yeah that's about it for now. Life is weird. But eh. People here are crazy but cool. Alrighty then. Gotta blast.
