I'm a monk now Tue, Jul 11,2023


Oye!

Welcome to Elder Pixtons missionary emails, I have the opportunity to write an email every preparation day. I'll share all kinds of experiences, pictures, and spiritual thoughts. Through these I hope I can bring a little bit of joy to your lives, and maybe a few laughs. 

This week I couldn't help but feel like a monk, with the amount of time i've studied on my own and with others it's helped me in my journey of becoming a missionary. 

since i'm not learning a language here's some florida slang i've been practicing: 
no-see-ums: small blood-sucking flies that are difficult to see
park in Goofy:  to park far away, inspired by the Goofy parking lot at Walt Disney World, which is furthest away from the entrance
oye: hi or hello

-Elder Pixton

We eventually came to the conclusion that pretzls are just crunchy bread Elder Potokar is such a cool dude. We just did a bunch of finding in his area, and it was a party. We saw this abulance and fire truck pull up in a neighborhood we were at, and it turns out a kid crashed on his bike, and his handlebar went through his leg. I dont know how it happened, but we talked to some of his friends who wer

this isn't my weekly email, but here's this for you guys tuesday for breakfast I had some yogurt, i put toast in the toaster but I forgot to eat it. so now its still there. this morning we had to postpone personal study so we could go help this dude named Johnny. Johnny has no legs and he stockpiles a bunch of toys so he can give them out to kids. the problem is that none of them were sorted. they were all mixed in with eachother. so we went through them all and sorted them by gender and age group and all that fancy stuff. after that we went to the food bank to go help out again. we had a lot of people there so we pretty much just stood around in the cold for two hours. lunch was subway. I figured we should probably start using our subway giftcards... we have a grand total of 100 bucks in subway gift cards. after lunch we drove to Mayo to go say hi to a bunch of referals. there was this one guy who filled out a request for us to come by (he was also legless... if I had a nickel
