Hey hey hey! 


     So this week was transfers so it was a little rocky getting used to new missionaries and biking and adjusting to a bunch of stuff but this week was pretty chill compared to the week before. In fact this week sucked compared to last week. We were on fire last week and got 9 people to church, and this week we had like 4 lessons which is a lotttttt less than last week's. But I'm not one to compare, just giving some insight on this week. 


      With that being said my butt is hurting so bad. I've been putting MILES on my bike now that we're biking this transfer. And boy does it absolutely suck. Not gonna lie I have been enjoying it for the most part, it's kinda fun to bike around and meet people and have fun and all that. But the next morning is when the 7 stages of grief kicks in and I just want to lay in bed and sleep all day and take pain meds. But it's been a major adjustment to figure out and plan lessons hours in between each other becuase of how far everything is from each other. So now we are very limited but again we're still planning getting rides from people and figuring out the best way to get around to our lessons and things. 


      This week we also moved a family from one house to a new house down the road a little ways and it was DISGUSTING!!! Oh my gosh I don't know how they lived like that. Im not trying to sound judgmental but man was that house horrid. Their floors have never seen a vacuum or broom or mop or any invention of cleaning device, and don't even get me started on the smell. I'm used to my mom who has to have everything spotless and clean so to see trash and literal animal poop everywhere and pee stains in carpet, it was traumatic. Im not just being dramatic either, it was so bad. 


     This week we also had a trunker treat for multiple wards here and that was a blast! We've been having fun and getting along really well with everyone which is really good! I also got news on my companions visa and he's leaving for India on Dec 1st which is sad to see him go, but he will kill it out there. But yeah I really don't have much else to say about this week. We invited Joseph and his family to be baptized and they said they will pray about it. Next lesson with them we will see how they feel and I'm gonna be bold and just try my hardest to get them on date! 


      Anyways I love yall and appreciate all the support! Thanks for rooting for me!

A Good Week

Hey!        It hasn't been that long since we last talked! All is well here in Hobbs America. My new companion elder Hepworth is really cool and he lives up to the reputation of being a hard worker. It's been nice to push each other and get lots of work done. We had an incredible day on Saturday where we talked to 31 people and had door step lessons and gave out lots of book of Mormons. It was an exhausting day, but I loved it so much. We have some good appointments set up for this coming week that I'm excited for and some will be with really prepared people, so I'm hoping we can progress with them. Other than that it's been amazing so far and I'm really enjoying it, and hobbs is just getting better and better.        The mission has been a huge Rollercoaster these past 18 months. It's amazing how big the highs are and how hard the lows are, but they are good teaching moments that I'm grateful for. I've gotten out of that wired rut of feeling like...

The Magnificent Work Of The Lord

Look who's back      Man what a great conference weekend. I enjoyed this conference so much and it was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable conference experiences I've had. This was my last time being able to watch conference as a set apart missionary and it just meant a lot to me to hear about the gathering of israel as my mission is coming to a close here in a few short months. I hope yall enjoyed it as well and got spiritually uplifted in the places that you needed to be. I want you guys to pause for a second and brace yourselves for impact. Maybe buckle your seat belts if you will. We're about to talk about an eventful week. Last week I mentioned how we were planning on talking about baptism with a few of our friends. Well we extended invitations to 6 of our friends and they all accepted it! We are going to be baptizing Waldo on the 20th this month (unless I get transfered) and Yvette with her 4 kids on May 11th. We had some pretty incredible lessons ...

TLM (Trenchcoat Loving Mission)

Image
Howdy doodly!      Picture this: We're all having a good time and enjoying life as it goes. Things are going so smooth that it begins to be a little suspicious, and thats when it hit me, that darn trenchcoat. See, last pday my companion and I went thrift shopping with the other missionaries. Unbenounced to me, I would see it. I would come to regret it. The women's trench coat. He buys a women's trench coat and has worn it everyday since. If I didn't know any better I would think he showers, and sleeps in it. I was also given special permission via request, to write about this in today's episode. We were supposed to have a great week with more than 10 lessons, but they all punched through and canceled. Every. Single. One. The same week my companion decides to wear this trenchcoat. Coincidence? I think not. Illuminati confirmed. There must be a spirit attached to it, or maybe a curse, legend has it. Either way it's bad luck. (Its probably not related at all but I ...
