Zone Conferencia

My beautiful Hat

Yee yee everyone. The south is a fun place. But it's a bit too hot and humid for my taste. Ok here goes.

Monday: we got haircuts and groceries and uhh. Yeah. Then we biked a buttload over to a lady's house. I think I already wrote this last time but uh yeah that's that. We biked a ton so my legs are getting huge.

Tuesday: we got to go on exchanges and I went out with elder Thompson who came out with me from the MTC! It was super dope Haha. We walked around and found a few interested people it was cool. After that we went to bro Dillon's and cut some of his weeds and stuff. His yard is wild. We changed and then we visited bro britt. And then uhhh. We went out with a youth and visited a few people it was pretty lit. Then we went to the bishops house and had dinner and talked about the prophets and how they are sometimes forbidden from writing more. Pretty wild stuff. 

Wednesday: zone conference. Yee yee. Honestly it was so hard to stay awake. It was really good like some people's talks and everything but man I was dozing off Haha. Theres a ton of missionaries leaving which kinda sucks. My pants are getting tight from all the biking. My suit pants at least. It's going straight to my thighs. And then I'll blow up. After that we had ward correlation. We have a bunch of ward missionaries that come it's super cool now. After that we went out with a youth and met a drunk dude. It was a good time.

Thursday: we went out with a youth names Opa and met a whole bunch of people. They were super wacky but really cool at the same time. These dang southerners. After that we had Little Caesars which was pretty sweet. Then we studied and went to the bible study. We only had 1 flippin guy show up. Oh well. He was chill hahah. Then I went with elder glade and sat in on the institute class it was super cool. Yeehaa.

Friday: we went to IHOP and met with the stake president. We talked about missionary work and we freakin saw one of our investigators who was supposed to be in Tennessee. Like what the heck. He said we could come over to his house though. So that's cool. Then we did some study stuffs and uh. Yeah. I went out on a split with bro dillon. Hes a wild man. I'm not sure it's all true but he says he used to test motorcycles and was in a band that almost had a record label sign them and he was supposed to be recruited to Baylor as a quarterback but he got injured. So uh. He doesn't really seem like the guy to be doing all that but who knows hahah. After I went with him we helped move a family into their new house. Cool stuff. After that we went to the chur cfg and had interviews. President is super awesome. And then we went over to the wasdens and shared a message and then we went to the rameys and shared a message. And uh then we were about to leave but we went back to ask if we could do any service and when bro ramey answered I was like "we just couldn't stay away." And he was like whaaaaaat. Hahaha it was pretty funny. And finally we went to coach greens Haha. He flippin bought us the expensive pizza again! It's like half the price to get a medium and he gets the large hahah. Crazy guy. 

 

The Confederate Store

Saturday: we played softball with some members. Holy guacamole. My calling that I never knew in life was to be a baseball player. I hit some dingers and also a homerun over the fence. I've never played baseball and a lot of the members didn't believe me Haha. I wish I did. Right after that we went and poured a bunch of mulch at a members house and then right after that we helped another member assemble a bed frame. So I was dead tired. So then we got back and showered and stuff and then guess what. We biked 6 miles over to a dudes neighborhood. Turns out he wasn't there Haha jeez. Then we biked a few miles over to bro Dillon's and shared a message. We biked over to another neighborhood and nothing. So then we biked to another neighborhood. BUT. We found a crazy guy. He was talking about a ton of problems he has and how he shot a guy once. So that was cool. But he was actually pretty interested. Soooo uh cool. After that we talked to bro sills and then went home. I made shepherds pie. I'm getting pretty good at it. The other guys all say it's good so. Yeehaa. I was so tired.

Sunday: church. Yippee. Haha idk. It was normal church I guess. Theres a youth who got called to the slc Utah mission. Pretty cool. After church we went to the kings and like their whole family was there. Haha they're awesome. Then we went to doc hearls and taught his friend. Hes a famous musician here so maybe you could listen to his stuff back home. Idk. Then we went to the romitos and had steak and stuff. Super good. After them we went and tried Stephen but he wasn't home. We talked to a guy named Sergio. He was pretty interested so we'll see him again soon. After that we met a guy named Jimmy who let us right in Haha. Wild. He thought we were jehovah's witnesses Haha. He was super weird but just needs some help. He was smoking a cigarette and when he put it in th e tray it was in front of a fan. In front of me. So my clothes smelt like cigarettes the rest of the night. So that was fun. After that I got to call me fatha. That was super cool. And then I did the dishes. So woo.
