Ahoy! This week uh. Well. Yeah. Here we go.
Tuesday: we went and cut bro Lailers grass. He lives like
right next to a river. And he owns part of it I guess. But I was weedwacking
and man. Lawn mowing in the south is a legit business. Grass grows so fast and
so tall that people mow their lawn like twice a week. But it's kinda scary with
like big ol snakes and spiders in the grass. Anyways after him we went to an
inactive member. He seemed like he wants to come back to church but hes got
like medical problems so it's hard. But he was super nice. When we left it
started raining. A lot. And we were biking. We biked like 5 miles through heavy
and slimy rain. Its not really slimy. But its so humid that it feels like it.
Anyways we were soaked and we had to go out with a member to visit people right
as we got back so we just stayed in our wet clothes. I was so cold. It was
awful. We ended up not catching anyone at home. So then after that me and elder
glade went to visit a family in the 2nd ward. That was sick. We had dinner and
he showed us all his elk and deer he has killed. He also let us hold his AR-10
and his AK. I didn't get a picture with the AK but I got a blurry one with the
AR Haha. So I'll send that.

Wednesday: we had district council and ate with the senior
couples. After that we had some exchanges so I went out with elder Worlton. He
goes home this month. Crazy stuff. But he lived in Idaho on a farm and
apparently they supply the chicken farm from Napolean dynamite with wheat.
Hahaha crazy huh? We tried visiting a ton of people but nobody wanted to talk.
We went to the etes and had some kind of tortilla casserole thing. It was so
good Haha. We tried visiting another person and then went to Walmart and got
sodas. After that we had 6 of us in the apartment and we played a card game it
was super sweet.
Thursday: we finished off the exchange today. But it rained
so much that the roads flooded Haha. So we couldn't leave for a while. It only
rained for a few hours but it rained like 8 inches. When we could leave we went
out to lunch with a member in a weird Chinese place. It was pretty good though
Haha. After that elder Worlton and elder Groll left and we planned and stuff.
Went over to a lady who lives by bro Miller. And he came and talked to her with
us. I straight up almost fell asleep. Like she just kept going on and on so it
was getting boring and like man. My head swung back a bit and went way forward.
And we were sitting around a table and it felt like I almost hit my head on the
table. But I like caught myself and was like uh oh. Cuz I figured everyone
noticed that. She ended up asking me if i was tired and i was like uhhh yeah.
So that was awkward. I told elder ladle about it after and he said he was
nodding off too hahaha. After that we had our bible study and only 4 people
came this time! Freakin punks. A ton of people were saying that they would come
and they were excited and all this and that. But oh well. After that me and
elder glade went out and biked around. We knocked on a bunch of doors. No one
too interested but we gave a bunch of people cards and stuff. I made jambalaya
when we got back. It was actually pretty good. Like I used the box stuff but I
chopped up my own sausage and added a whole bunch of spices and seasonings. It
was super spicy but pretty good Haha. I'll make it when I get back.
Friday: today was super whack. Elder glade and ladle both
were sick in the morning. So me and elder Williams went out. We visited a few
people and then the other elders ended up feeling good enough to come out. So
we switched and we went and visited the kings. There are like 5 different kings
so you'll just have to figure that out for yourself. But these kings have a
plantation replica home. So its like a 3 story mansion. We thought we were at
the wrong house Haha. He showed us some chandeliers that are worth 60,000
each. Freakin wild. He had 2 of them just in his front rooms. Gosh darn rich
people anyway. After that we went to a place called pbeau's. We had some good
ol southern food. It was good. And expensive.

Saturday: some of the senior couples are going home this
month so we went and helped them move stuff. It was pretty fun. I ended up
feeling pretty sick so we stayed home for a bit but I got some medicine and
felt pretty good so we went over to the other kings Haha. The ones we haven't
visited yet. And brother king is so funny. If an old southern person says
"no indeed" then you know they're cool. We tried visiting a few other
people and then went over to coach greens. When we got there he was right about
to leave because he left his keys and stuff at a friends but then they drove up
and gave it all to him so that was super lucky. Gods on our side. We had a
short lesson but he is so close. He knows the BOM is true but he doesn't want to
leave his church. Hes so close. We'll get him.
Sunday: we went to church and junk. Pretty cool haha. We
went to the Blanchards after and had roast beef so that was sweet. After that
we studied and stuff and went to the Romitos. We had like hot sandwiches there.
I guess they don't do that often in the south so it was pretty awesome. After
them we went to the Vanhoffs and talked. They are super cool. We tried some
other people and then went to the Okerekes. Crazy Michael. He doesn't know
what's going on half the time. He doesn't speak English great so its always fun
to hear him read. We talked to them for a while and went home. Me and
elder Glade made up a cool card game but it's super hard hahah. We'll figure it
out. Anyways that's about it.
Monday today I got a haircut and groceries. We are at the
church right now and um. We are gonna go see some people tonight. This next
week should be sweet. So yeah cool. Gotta blast
