HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone’s week is going good and that you are
surviving life! My week was pretty good and full of excitement since there are
three of us now. So let us jump right on into the week!
Monday was really good. We went to London and had a Zone
talent show!! It was super fun. A group of us sang a parody of “What Makes You
Beautiful” by One Direction except ours was “What Makes You Celestial”. I am
not that great of a singer but I had a really good time. There were some great
talents that were shown. Somebody did a piano and guitar duet that was
absolutely amazing and there was more singing and funny skits. We also had
pizza there with some ice cream so as always super good food but I was still
suffering from the food poisoning so I didn't have much to eat. Really good day
though all around. We went to Woodstock that night so we could get up in the
morning and get to transfers. Elder Kohl is actually in Woodstock and he is
going home soon so I got to see him one last time before he takes off! It was
great to talk to him again and share a couple of laughs.
Tuesday we went to Brampton for transfers and that was super
fun. I got to see a bunch of missionaries that I know and have served with. I
saw my last companion Elder Roundy there and I asked him if he could give me a
haircut. He said sure so we found the nearest janitors closet and he gave me a
quick trim. After that I found my new companion Elder Holden. We got a ride
with the Woodstock elders and went back to their area and spent the day there. Elder
Holden actually came out to the mission the same time that I did so that is
super cool. He is from Arizona and has six other siblings. He played tennis and
baseball growing up and has been in the church his entire life. He is a super
funny guy and I can't wait to serve with him more! Tuesday night we came back
to St Thomas and got ready for the week to come.
Wednesday we were showing Elder Holden around the area and
introducing him to the people so he can get familiarized with everything and we
also worked at the Salvation Army again.
Thursday was a lot of planning and getting more of Elder
Holden's stuff situated in the apartment. We also had a Bible study that night
and it was pretty interesting the different things that I learned during that.
Friday we went over to that guy with the giant house and
yard again and of course as always he wanted me to trim his yard for him. So I
spent the next 2 hours trimming his yard and yet again I didn't get all of it
done so I will have to go back and finish the rest of it. I swear I am going to
be a pro at trimming by the time I leave this area.
Saturday we went to the Salvation Army again and did some
service over there. After that we grabbed a bite to eat at a Mexican place
called Bella Jack's and it was freaking delicious!! Definitely going to go back
in the near future and grab some chimichangas!!
Sunday I gave a talk in church and it actually went pretty
well. Everyone was telling me that I am a great speaker and I speak with such
power. I spoke on the importance of Daily Scripture study and the blessings
received from doing it. After church we just went around and visited some
people to see how they are doing and if there was anything we could do to help
them.
Other than that I think that is about it for this week. It
is crazy to think that I am going to be turning 19 this week on Wednesday!!
🎂 HOLY CRAP I AM GETTING OLD!!! Time is just flying by, it is going to be weird
not being surrounded by family but I know that they will be there with me in
spirit.
I hope you have a good rest of you week!! I love and miss
you all!!
