It's too early. I never eat december snowflakes. I always wait until January
Lets keep it short for yall this week. Snow. We were stuck in our apartment because the roads were iced over and no one was outside. For 2 days. I got a little stir crazy and organized all of our closets in our apartment. It was kinda awesome, kinda not. Shoutouts: Toby's birthday!!! twenty twooooo ooo oooo Mommas birthday! love you mom Kaleb and Araina House got baptized and it was wonderful!!🙈 They are so awesome and the service was great! Lots of people were stuffed in the primary room and we could've used plenty more kids chairs. Best day ever. 🏠🏠🏠 That's all, spent today at bucees, sampled all the fudge and jerky in the whole wide world to prepare me for a great week!
Your a PANDA. He's a PANDA
Alright lets go, no time to waste even though we got nothing going on today. We went to a Baptist funeral and it was AWESOME. One of our inactive members invited us to her daughters funeral and it was the best experience of my mission so far! We were in fact the only white people in that church. It didn't even feel like a funeral tbh, by the end I forgot who died! The preacher got up, started preaching, then mid sermon he started to preach-sing! Who knew we were in a real life musical! Then everyone was shouting PREACH!! and PRAISE JESUS! and JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! and AMEN! it was awesome. So glad I got to have that once in a lifetime experience. Then as we walked out of the church people just came up and we started hugging strangers. So, like I said, mission highlight fo sho. Then that same day we met the best member ever, Patricia. We drove up to her house, passed like 3 abandoned shacks, some goats, some broke down cars, and arrived in her driveway. There was bamboo (??) around...
Punch me, Guido! Punch me in the face!
It snowed in Georgia! But I'm in Alabama, so all we got was rain and some frost in the morning. To be honest this week was kinda lame. Except for putting our friend Kaleb House on date!! He's the older brother of the girl we put on date last Sunday. He's an angsty 16 year old and I have no idea how to relate to that kid. But he loves my companion and wants to get baptized before she leaves so that's cool. Back to this week being lame, we found a total of 2 people to teach this week, and both of their lessons that we had set up never went through. Nobody wanted to talk to us, and it was very dark and cold outside all week. SO that was great. MOVING ON Funny story. I tried to throw someone a pass along card at a stoplight. Keep in mind we were both in our cars. It definitely didnt make it it to their window. That thing is still sitting in the middle of the street. Safe to say I am basura at card throwing. Looking back on a mildly sucky week makes you ever more appreciativ...
Our trio's down to two
¡Qué Semana! Felt like a year. Let's run it back! First zone council meeting down and done with! ✌️🤙 I may or may not have done basically nothing to help plan it. Just made the slides look really pretty and they changed them anyway lol. Next time I'll try and contribute more than a 12 year old would! ✔️ first time leading a zcm Right after the meeting we exchanged with the sisters in pine mountain! ✔️ first exchange as an stl Our exchange was so fun. Pine mountain is full of old people, 2 gas stations, and one dollar general! So we knocked on some weird people's doors, sat outside both gas stations, and then sat in our car with the windows down outside of dollar general. Fun stuff! Sister Carter is so precious and sweet. To end off the night we watched the terrible byu student produced film "the mailbox". - 10/10 do not recommend. We received terrible news. Heres the bottom line, our trio's down to two. Sister Ford is goi...
