Ok so as you guys know, transfers happened and I had to pack up everything I owned and move to "the hobbit hole" which is just a tiny basement apartment that I actually really like. In some places I can do a calf raise and my hair touches the ceiling... but it's cool you know. Also my new companion Elder Blackwell is so cool, he's from Mississippi. He's got an awesome southern accent, and he makes me laugh soooooo hard.
It was a little bit sad leaving my last area because the people and members there were just so much fun and so amazing. But now I'm in this new area and it's so fun as well. We even help teach an English class twice a week over zoom to all the funniest Latinos. Seeing how they speak English makes me realize how I must sound in Spanish so I wanna work hard to get better at Spanish hahah.
Also, HUGE NEWS, we got a car. We have a massive area to cover and we didn’t have a car but they gave us one and now we’re so happy, and Elder Blackwell drives and does a really good job of it too. Let's just say one of my past companions was a little bit of an aggressive driver. But that's over now. So yes we have a car and we named her Charlene, and I even bought her a camouflaged exhaust tip from Ross, the store. I'll put a picture of that in here.
So other than meeting the members and people we're teaching and giving some really good messages, I've just been vibing. Oh yeah we also have some new guys in our district. We got Elder Hanosek who was in another district. He was my MTC companion and so we get to hang out in person sometimes. We also have two new guys who are a lot of fun; Elder Saunders from Alaska and Elder Robert's from Texas.
Well we actually have a pretty exciting night planned and I hope it goes well. We want to put one of our friends on date to be baptized this Saturday and hopefully he accepts. He's from Chile and is so funny. We like joking around with him and teaching him too.
Well I know this was a little shorter, but this week has really been good, and I hope next week will be even better.
Spiritual thought: I really like James chapter 2 when it talks about faith and works together. We need more than just faith, we need to do good also, and live like we have been commanded, loving our God and loving our neighbors.
Funny thought: Elder Blackwell does this thing where when we’re on the phone with Elder Gray our district leader and my last companion, he says, "oh yeah one more thing" and then he hangs up. He makes Elder Gray and I laugh all the time.
I am so blessed to have such a fun district overall where we can work hard, have fun, and speak a tiny bit of Spanish.
I love you guys and I'm praying for you all.
