So this week I started my last transfer. I'm tripping out a little bit. But it will be a good
transfer.
On Tuesday we dropped off Elder Lewis and picked up Elder Fife. I'll
miss Lewis, but Elder Fife is a good guy. He is from Sandy, Utah and went to one
of my rival high schools, Jordan, and we are different in a lot of ways. He's a
die hard Ute fan, I'm a die hard BYU fan. He's a huge soccer fan, I'm a huge
football fan. He likes Coke and Pepsi, I'm more of a Dr. Pepper guy, among some
other things, but we get along. He's been out for about 13 months, so he's
pretty experienced. We weren't able to have many teaching opportunities this
week, but from what I've seen, he knows his stuff and he'll totally be able to
take over the area after this transfer.
This week we had some interesting
contact attempts. We went to go contact a Bible referral we got and we drove
all the way out into the boonies. We got to the address and couldn't find a
driveway leading up to the house. The house was literally surrounded by soybean
crops and had a tree growing through the front porch. So we wasted a lot of
miles going there, but oh well. We also went to another house to contact a less
active. We walked up to the door and there were spider webs EVERYWHERE. Usually
spiders don't really freak me out too much, and I wasn't totally creeped out.
But when you are standing on a porch, literally surrounded by spider webs and
gigantic palm sized spiders, you get a little antsy. I wish I had taken
pictures cause some of those spiders were nuts! But Elder Fife wanted to leave
as soon as possible😊, which I understand.
This week I also was asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting on the Book of
Mormon, so I was chill with that. It's a pretty easy subject to talk on. I
enjoyed preparing for the talk, and I think it went pretty well.
So yeah,
that's the week, Irma's gone, and we just got a little bit of rain and wind but
nothing crazy. So yeah, love y'all!
