Where Does The Time Go?

Hello everyone. 


     Sorry for the late update, I know some of you really enjoy reading my emails, especially when I'm usually consistent at releasing them around the same time in the mornings. We just got done playing some basketball with some friends and I'm slowly getting better, so that's pretty cool. Not much has really happened since the last update since it was so recent, but I'll fill you in anyways. 


     So as you know I'm in a trio now, and I'm training. It's been pretty good so far. I've been a missionary for a while now and I forget what it's like to be new so I'm catching myself having to remember to fill my greenie in on things and kind of explain it simply. Hopefully he doesn't end up being all messed up but I'm sure he will be fine. If not, that one's on me lol. He's pretty cool, just a little quiet as well as my previous comp, so sometimes I talk to myself because no one responds but that's pretty much the story of my life anyways because I'm pretty outgoing and I think it freaks people out sometimes. These past few days have just been adjusting to being together and getting him up to speed on the area and whats going down. 


     I'm at this really weird stage in my mission and it's just made me feel strange. I don't know how to describe it other than strange. Most of the sisters that I came out with are going home at the end of this transfer and it just reminds me how long I've been out and how long i have left. I mean I feel like I just got out of training and now this is my second time training, in a trio again ironically. I keep thinking of memories from home and that feels not so far away, but so does my time to go home. Don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing I was home or feeling homesick, but it's just this weird spot. I'm grateful that I'm not in Alpine in this stage because I was already wanting to give up there and this phase on top of everything else might have got me to do it. 


     Well anyways yall that's really all I got because it's only been a few days. I'm going to be pretty busy this week so I should have some juicy stuff for next week, but don't freak out if I email late again, I'm okay I promise. I'm still enjoying my time out here and trying to do and be better day by day. Love yall!

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 ...
