12/24/2018 Week 60: What Kind Of Cheese Goes To The Gym?

Shredded Cheese. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!! This week was fun. 1308 E Alto Rd. Apt. K118, Kokomo, IN. This week was a good amount of cleaning and introducing myself to investigators, A typical first week I guess. We live on the 3rd floor of our apartment complex so we also have climbed stairs a lot. I think that the most notible thing that happened this week is that we volunteer at the YMCA to help old people. Its pretty fun, we are there for encouragement and to pick someone up if they fall. But other than all that we tracted and tried finding. I have also eaten about 2 dozen eggs this last week because i am lazy and dont want to make anything that I have to stand next to and watch so I have had plenty boiled eggs. Also our ward had a giant stocking to fill for us and it was pretty heavy. (pictures below). But other that all that its been a pretty normal week. Talk to yall later.

12/17/2018 Week 59: Where Can You Buy 36 Inches?

A Yard sale. I am now officially out of joke. This week was interesting I guess. I do know I am being transferred to Kokomo. So excited to have a Walmart in my area  again. We also had Zone conference this week and my companion was really stressed about having the cleanest car because we could get a prize. We lost. But thats what happens when you share a car with an area that doesn't have paved roads every where. very muddy. But I am even more excited because I am getting to have a permanent car in my next area since its huge. I also made an amazing dinner a few days ago. It was a hot dog, fries, chili, cheese, and pepperoni all wrapped in a tortilla. I could feel the cholesterol flowing through my veins. Also a few days before Zone conference we were called to go to Fishers to help at zone conference with the cars. We checked the tire pressure and wheel depth and judge which car was the cleanest there. It was cold. Some cars were very clean and others were not. I also had to give a talk yesterday. That was fun. I still dont like to give talks but it is what it is. Hopefully my next one will be my homecoming talk. Well that's all for this week. Talk to yall later. Bye! 

12/10/2018 Week 58: What Do You Call It When An Octopus Asks For Forgiveness?

A Cephalopology. Hello everyone. This week was an interesting week. The biggest highlight of this week was a Christmas party that our branch had for the senior missionaries as a goodbye party before they go home. The best part was that we had 2 investigators here and it was a really good experience. Unfortunately we were trying to have a lesson with one of them before the party and the members kept interrupting by trying to talk with us and the investigator. I would have never thought that people could be so nice that it became a problem. The other investigator was happy because she was nervous about bringing her son and it took less than 2 minutes for that kid to make friends with all the other kids. It was awesome. But I will say I am sick and tired of ham and turkey. I have had too much and all we have in our fridge is ham an turkey. Then yesterday we had stake conference yesterday and we had Elder Smith from the area 70 come and give a talk. I enjoyed it, but this is my second stake conference in this stake and don't want to be negative or anything but I would like to possibly leave this stake next time I transfer. I have served back and forth in this stake for 8 months. But if I don't move then I will deal with it but its okay to have some hopes. but other then that it has been a normal week of finding and talking and all of the sort. But ya that all for this week. I don't have any pictures again from this week. I'll try to get more pictures next week. talk to yall later, bye.

12/3/2018 Week 57: Why Was The Cell Phone Wearing Glasses?

Because he lost his contacts. Hello everyone how are you all doing today. Good. This week was interesting, so on Monday we switched the car since the missionaries who are serving there were picking up a missionary from Fishers and because a trio. We also decided to have exchanges from Monday night to Wednesday morning which was a little stressful but still fun. We switched back at interviews and then drove home. Then a couple of days ago we met Santa walking down the sidewalk and we were able to talk to him for a little while. Also this week was the week that they turned on the Christmas lights in town. It was awesome and pretty cool looking. It also turns out that for a while Elwood was known for being Christmas USA until 2006 when a bunch of companies left. Apparently it competed with the Christmas lights at temple Square in Utah. But now the people here are either retired and are too lazy to move or can't leave because they don't have enough money to leave. Some houses here go for less than $50. They aren't the best shape but we have a member in our branch that bought his house for $10. A lot of our free time went towards us cleaning. On Wednesday we helped a member cut a bunch of tree branches that fell during a storm in the church parking lot and move it. I found a little part of one of the branches and I took it and carved it into a tiki. Yesterday was a great day. We have a mission fast and it felt like it really helped yesterday because yesterday we were riding our bikes and we were going by this apartment complex that had a big no soliciting sign. Even though we don't solicit we didn't know if we should try knocking on the doors. Ultimately we ended up praying to know whether to do it or not and we felt like we needed to. We didn't finish knocking all the doors but when we left we had 4 new investigators, and shared the unique message with 20 people when our goal was 10. So all in all it was definitely a good thing that we went in. Then last of all I got a haircut today. I liked it. That's all I have for this week, talk to you later. Bye!
