Stories
- had ZLC, that was fun. we were late but,,,, bikes haha whatchu gonna do. elder ward was there, so that was great. love him. we shared our testimonies of Christ and it was cool
- afterwards, i blasted everyone with the orbeez gun. it was fun. elder reyes lit up elder wright without any second thought lol
- we had some more fun with the gun, doing target practice, shooting each other, and filming vids as if we were in a video game
- met rhea and ray. that was an interesting time. need to get thems bacc to choich. yeet. got a referral from them too, lessgo (Edited by mom - them back to church 
)
- stopped by sister thompsons, best case. she gave us hot chocolate, we got a lightbulb changed, and her dog wouldn't stop humping the blankets. it was very funny. we gave her a blessing as well.
- leaf tracted. basically, we ride around with our bikes and rakes and try to find houses to rake leaves from. did one house, they weren't home, but we raked their leaves anyway. good times. i looked like a turkey with my rake down my hoodie, but alas, not much else you can do when you're on a bike
- well, the day started out great, but i definitely done did goofed. i was listening to a holland talk, and asked God to give me another mountain. i know my hardest trials would make me the strongest, as i've already seen so amazingly in my life. but, He made me sick again. dang it. i had like 3 days if sorta feeling okay haha
- we went on through the day, rake/leaf tracted again and met this nice lady named barbara who we raked her front yard for. she wanted to pay us 5 bucks, but we said nah and invited her to light the world in her own way, and gave her a little pass along card.
- met with the ricks, the ficklins, and the mancusos. but by the time dinner rolled around i was coughing... a lot. and by mancusos, it was painful. by the time we got home it was awful. i didn't know the mountain would be making me sick again:///
- the elders brought us to walmart, and we got cough syrup and whatnot. spent over $50 on just medical things. so annoying. but! we did meet a woman who wants to be active in the church once more. if we hadn't been at walmart, she wouldn't have seen us and asked for where church was at. so, already one tiny miracle from being sick. i'll take it
- slept in until like,,,, a while hahaha felt so bad. just absolutely awful. splitting headache, fever, awful cough, man i hate this. i'm so tired of being sick. i'm so... annoyed. and angry. but if this is the mountain, then i'll climb it. elder wright blessed me with strength when i asked for a blessing from him. so i'll bank on that.
- went and got covid tested, stole the elders car. our mission nurse didn't want us driving together, but she wanted them to stay in our contaminated apartment? and contaminate the car? not to mention the fact that elder wright can't drive, and so i, the super sick one had to. none of it made sense, but hey we got chick fil a cuz we were in the other zone so that helps make up for it, right? maybe.
- we also had a massive nerf war with the elders. that was fun. elder wright spent some big bucks buying these SICK nerf guns, and honestly got a steal on them!
- did fb work, took a nap on the floor, didn't do much else. man i hate being sick. that's about it for stories
- oh! except for p-day:) we had another elder dropped off to us, cuz his comp went to his OG in peru, and mine is leaving the day before transfers. so, trio for a few days! yeet!we went up on the mesa, and it was SUPER snowy. so we had a big snow fight. it was a blast, and i love the mesa!! we got transfer news, i'm staying here in melody lane! and training! .....again....! wish me luck!
Teaching Updates
- well, we have even MORE new potentials to teach haha. i will continue to keep you updated!
Spotlight
- by next week i'll have a new comp, so this ones for you, elder wright:) love you buddy!!! have a good time in brazil:)
My challenges for you
- ask God to give you a mountain. see what happens. i know i'll be stronger for this, and you will too! i'm feeling much better today haha so we chillin:)
Every minute, every moment...there was Jesus.
