I don't know why, but this week I thought a lot about
Star Wars. I really miss it... Oh well! Considering right now I am sitting at
my study desk and I can see 6 things that are Star Wars, I'm doing okay😄!
Things this week went pretty well. Every dinner appointment this week has been
out to eat! Joy! We biked a good amount this week, but mostly the very
beginning of the week when it wasn't too hot. It finally got down in the 80's
for a couple consecutive days this week, so that was nice, but then it warmed
up later in the week. I can't wait for the weather to get to what it was like
when I first came into the mission, it was perfect! It's coming pretty soon . . . pretty crazy! We served at the Corner Table again this week. I always look
forward to that, it's pretty fun. We are going to be there tomorrow as well!
Yes! Oh yeah! This week was transfers. We got some new people in the district,
in fact, Elder Garret and I are the only companionship in the district that
didn't change at all. We've got some pretty interesting missionaries in the
district now. What's weird to think is that there are four Elders in the
district older than me, and four that are YOUNGER!😱
It's almost as if I'm an old missionary, but I just have to pinch myself and
then I realize I've only been out for a couple months...right?
Friday we had
district meeting and interviews and Elder Garrett and I helped clean the
church, so we were at the church a long time.
Saturday morning we went and
helped someone move. The people we were moving weren't even there most of the
time. It was just us and their older parents doing all the work, and of course,
right after we had finished moving all the heavy stuff, the owners came and
helped. Oh well, at least we got the opportunity to serve right. Then the dad,
Brother Mullis took us to Burger King for lunch. Elder Garrett and I are both
trying to stay healthy so he got a veggie burger and I got a grilled chicken
sandwich. It's not very easy to eat healthy at fast food, but you can find
healthy-Er options. We had dinner with the Winters that night (a family we
didn't know, so we were excited to get to go to their home right?), they took
us out to a Mexican restaurant! I got a taco salad, I'm doing my best😏. Yesterday was good. A Hmong sister (we call
her Momma Vue) came up to me and gave me a little gift bag. She told me she was
sorry she hadn't given me a birthday gift sooner! She gave me a sweet Hmong
tie! Now I have a Guatemalan tie and a Hmong tie, pretty exciting! We taught
Elders' quorum. We talked about temples. It wasn't that good, but that group is
pretty hard to work with. They are a bunch of single depressed guys, Hmongs, or
the presidency, every other Elder is either in the young men's or primary.
We
were able to see Lizz last night. We haven't been able to meet with her this
week, this week has been pretty tough for her. Her son brought home lice from
day care, man she's having a real hard time getting them out of her hair. She
was wearing a bag on her head when we talked to her. She hasn't read anymore of
the Book of Mormon, but she has been reading out of the children's version with
her son. So that's good. Hopefully she'll be able to figure out the whole lice
thing. Well, that's about our week, nothing too exciting. Have a great week
y'all!
