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!
