This week wasn't very exciting. It just...happened. We served at the soup kitchen again, that was great as always. That day was Sister Johnson's birthday, and that night right before nightly curfew, we dropped off a gift for her (A lot of chocolates😋). We had district meeting on Wednesday. Elder Garrett and I did a training on helping people keep commitments, and I think it went pretty well. Elder Garrett and I have a new morning routine. Sometimes we have trouble getting up quickly in the morning and exercising, so we got these little Nerf guns. What we do in the morning is as soon as the alarms go off we have to get up, turn off the alarms, make our beds, and go get our Nerf guns. We have a quick sudden death battle then we go out running. I really like it. It really gets me up and awake so much faster in the mornings. It's fun too! 
Anyway, Thursday morning we got up and went and mowed some lady's lawn. She gave us some pound cake and some cherry tomatoes but they both smelled like smoke so we ended up throwing them away. We did service at the library again on Friday, that was good. It was super nice on Friday, some people were even wearing jackets it was so chilly, but of course, we get the bikes this week and it's going to get into the 90s again, even this whole last week was nice and cool. Argh. Oh well. We met a super cranky lady on Saturday. We were walking down the street when we saw a lady doing some yard work. So naturally we stopped and offered to help. She looked at us, shook her head, and said, "I don't need any Mormon  help!" Elder Garrett responded, "Oh, sorry about that." And she snapped back, "Don't be sorry, I know my savior Jesus Christ! Do you?....NO!"  So we walked away. Yesterday we had a good day at church. Both of us bore our testimonies and we taught young men.

 We had a delicious dinner at the Moukassa's, oh my goodness, that lady can cook! We had some of the best, least chewy, most scrumptious pork chop I've ever had. Really good potato salad too! A great way to end the fast for sure. But that's about it for the week, pretty boring. Hopefully we'll have an amazing week this next week! Love y'all!
