11/26/2018 Week 56: Why Do The Greeks Not Like Mornings

Because dawn is tough on grease. Hello everyone sorry fo the later email this week. I have been getting distracted all day long. This week was a great week. I had 2 Thanksgiving dinners, one on Thursday with a member and one on Saturday that was complete unplanned with people who are now investigators. We knocked on the door and the husband answered saying he is an atheist and then his wife popped her head out the door and invited us in to eat with the family. It was awkward but fun. We also got the Christmas tree out and stuff, it's early but we are using it to actually have light in our apartment. Also I have started building a Bible so that's pretty cool. It has all the books and everything I am just gluing it together to make a big book. Today is gonna be busy because we a picking a missionary up from the mission home and having exchanges tonight so yeah. Exciting. But unfortunately that's all I have this week. Bye.

11/22/2018 Week 55: I Heard There Was A Pretty Emotional Wedding

Even the cake was in tiers. HAPPY TURKY DAY EVERYONE! May blessings of full stomachs and even more full refrigerators come your way. Sorry I didn't email Monday, today is p-day this week so yeah. Last week was our week to bike seeing as we have to share a car again. There were too many cars in the mission so they had to take some away from us. But we got the car back yesterday so it's all good. It felt like this last week has been more cold than normal. That's my luck. But at least my legs are getting buff right? We do have thanks giving plans today thankfully so I will be eating to my hearts content, except for salad because we just received an E. Coli warning yesterday from our mission nurse that says not to eat it. Wasn't planning on it but okay. Yesterday was fun also because we had exchanges with the Muncie elders and I had a great time sounded like miracles we flowing all day yesterday in these 2 areas. I also found a massage chair in the Muncie apartment and they let me have it so I am living the life. I also slept on a memory foam mattress last night so I am pretty happy with everything right now. We weren't able to teach much last week unfortunately since we didn't have the car but we definitely have been finding a lot. Anyways I hope you all have a happy holiday. Talk to you soon, bye!

11/12/2018 Week 54: What Did The Baseball Player Do When His Pay Was Cut?

He went on 3 strikes and had a ball. Hello everyone. How are you today? This week was an interesting week. As you know we had transfers this week and I received Elder Fullerton as my new companion. He is a great missionary. We were actually in the MTC at the same time which is pretty cool. He left a week before I did because the different missions have different transfer schedules. I will say it has been a big learning curve because I am not used to the rules in this mission. It's not anything I would be against but it's different and when something changes it takes time to adjust. I have learned a good amount from him and I hope he is learning a little from me. This week was a good amount of finding. I can say I am enjoying it more and more. We have also started doing service at a place in town recently. I like it but it seems like one of the people who volunteers there doesn't like us all that much. But we will warm up to him. We are very persistent. This is a very interesting area, the longer I am here the more I grow to like it more. 

There is one thing unfortunately happened this week. Our car was taken and now we are sharing a car with another set of missionaries, but there is a positive because the car we have now is a 2017 Toyota Rav 4. I like that car. It is very nice.

 Also I got a free bike from a missionary but it was basically destroyed so I fixed a lot of it. I lowered the handles (bike was not made for my height), switched the seat (the seat was bent and warped), I changed the tires completely(tires were bent as if they were ran over by a car), changed the pedals (because the were loose), and put brakes on it for the tires I am using(tires belong to a different bike but was the same size). Thankfully we had a old bike on our deck to take parts from. I didn't use the old bike because a lot was missing. I liked to fix it though, it was very calming. 

Last of all I wanted to include a spiritual experience. Yesterday we were trying to make our daily weekly goal to teach 4 and our daily goal to find 10 people to share our unique message with. My companion had the idea to fast for 4 hours so we could find a family. We talked about it for a bit and we decided to fast to find a family of 5 and to finish our weekly and daily goal. So we prayed and went. Within 15-30 minutes we found a family of 12! So we continued to find and we finished our goals with 2 hours before we went in. I guess the thing I took out of this experience is not to count out the options. God is gonna help no matter what and all you need is faith for miracles to flow. If you exercise your faith he will do the rest. 

That's all for this week. Talk to y'all later. Bye.

11/5/2018 Week 53: What Instrument Does A Virus Play

The Flu-te. Fair warning that was my last joke so if there isn't one next week then that means I couldn't come up with any. Hello everyone who reads these. This week was an interesting week. Also happy late Halloween. I guess its time to celebrate Christmas. We had a normal day on Halloween for the most part. Apparently the people here also go trick or treating on the 30th too so I was thrown off when we were walking around and I saw 3 small power rangers walk by. We weren't aloud to be out when the trick or treating started so we just stayed inside and studied. I had a little fire in our grill outside. Not enough to be dangerous but enough to be warm from it. It was relaxing. Then after that it was a pretty normal week. Did finding, did some teaching. Then we had Zone Conference on Friday which was fun. You will realize that most the pictures were me teaching. It looks like I know what I'm doing. It was fun. We were practicing teaching the 2nd lesson because practice makes perfect. I like to teach its fun when you know what you're talking about. Then on Saturday we got our transfer call. I am staying and my companion is leaving. I thinks he is ready to go since he has been in this area for 8 months. My new companions name is Elder Fullerton. Sounds like a cool guy seeing that all I know about him is what others tell me. I am excited to get to meet him. That's really all I can think of for this week. Like always if anybody has any questions just email me but other than that there is not much else. Talk to yall later. Bye.
