Low Key...Dont even know where to start with this email..haha some P-Days im like, yeyyyy boiiiiiiii! Got so much to say and not enough time! Others im like....yup...this bout to be a 15 minute email sesh haha. Anyways, past week was the for sure the longest week of my life. Almost got hit by a Tornado, Rained for a good 9 hours straight, Did close to nothing and almost cut my leg off splitting wood with a splitting maul...haha crazy week. Not a lot of lessons but more service. Just one of those weeks when you're like...Is it P-Day yet...? Haha anyways, im done complaining. Every day my family sacrifices for me to be out here is a blessing. Im still enjoying it greatly. Here was my past week though...
Tuesday October 9th: Only had one lesson today; Isabellas last New Member lesson. So we hit up Brother Moss' house and taught her about The Gospel of Jesus Christ. After we spent the whole day cutting wood. I've found it to be a pretty legit work out and new hobby. I split like...2 ricks? Or whatever that is or however you measure it. Thats what he said. I was out there for a good 5-6 hours. I found that you go into some deep thought while cutting wood...(o_o) kinda weird but whatevers. Thats what we did the whole day...just cut up wood for him and other members in our ward.
Wednesday October 10th: Started today off with District Meeting with our District, Zone Leaders and Assistants. Talked about "Finding" and how we could better apply that to our areas. Low key...its rough out here in the OTM. We lead all the other missions in our surrounding area in Baptisms and Lessons but are wayyyyy behind on finding newp people. For every 1 person we find we baptize 7. But when we only getting that number once a month...its all bad. Heres to finding more people haha. After we went and taught Paul and Beth. His wifes baptized and we've now set another date in November. He was supposed to get baptized on 20th of October but we had to change it so its all good. Right after we headed to The Harringtons and taught them The Plan of Salvation. Went pretty good. They really liked the idea about Baptisms for the dead. After we jetted home for a bit before heading out to the church to teach Zach but when we got there he bailed on us so we just went to institute.
Thursday October 11th: Woke up feeling like death...its been gettin cold out here, but im good. Ha After we headed over to Bro. Echols property to cut more wood. We cut down like 4 trees and chopped em all up. They used a wood splitter and i used a splitting maul. Yup, like i said, almost cut my leg off haha. I swung the maul and missed the log and hit my leg Haha No Coordination, i swear haha. I kinda just stood there for a second...and then was like..."Well, Im not bleeding..." Haha I only had a huge bruise and it was swollen for days!!! I guess missionaries are really blessed haha. Thats what we did the whole day though...lots and lots of cutting wood.
Friday October 12th: Had planned to go cut more wood at Bro. Echols but the rains started coming in so he called and cancelled. Luckily, Matt called us and asked if we wanted to come over. And you already know though...We went and hung out at his place all day. Helped him out with some service around their place and...thats about it haha
Saturday October 13th: So...this whole week we've been carless so it meant we either bike, walk or call members for rides to lessons. Well, a huge relentless storm decided to hit us today with Tornado warnings all over the place. We tried walking to one of these people we visit and the sky turned like...green-orange..?! Haha Tornados. So we went back home and were stuck in the apartment all day long (-___-) Such a long day for real! I could careless about walking around in the rain, but when you hear those Tornado sirens...im straight on that one all day hahaha
Sunday October 14th: Always good to go church on sundays :) The sun came out but it was still like 60 degrees out. A wee bit chilly for sure. Didnt have too much going on today though either. Went and picked up the car from the missionaires we share it with and had dinner to end off the day.
So...if you got through maybe half or even the whole letter if you're dedicated but still got bored...thats how my week was haha Just one of those weeks i guess. I really really REALLY hope i dont have another one like last cause...man it was soooo long and we didnt have anything going on which was a first for sure. Oh well, theres people in the world going through worst, im just happy to be on a mission, ya feel me? :)
Oh yeah, one last thing. Heard we lost to UCLA last saturday...Oh well, what can you do? FIDO. The Ute Fam knows what that means. Congrats to Travis Wilson for his first start. Like i tell everyone out here who are all byU fans by mormon default and have never left the state of Missouri and seem to think The University of Utah is Sodom and Gomorrah, I'd rather be going head up with USC and ASU in the PAC 12 then dropping bombs on CSU and SDSU in the Mt. West. Its all a process and we're just getting started. Utes^ all day.
Okay, im done now haha Now im just blabbering on about nothing. Thank you all for your support. :) Love you all!
Take Care
