good morninggggg yalll



tyesday
today weve just been driving all over the place visiting referals. we had a bunch of people respond to facebook ads lately so weve got a bunch of those. during lunch i went through one of our closets and found a ton of random knicknacks. there was a bunch of hats, pants, games, shoes, blankets, fishing gear, and a bracelet maker, all the things. there was even some lights to put on the tree so now its slightly more christmasy. after lunch we had to get our tire fixed so we headed up to Trenton. i just worked on making a braclet in the car the whole time. I dont think i did it right but it made a bracelet so it kinda worked i guess but guess what?? we got to go see Alex at TAB automotive!! i guess our tire has a crack in the side wall tho so were gonna go back tomorrow so he can put it on


we just had the most insane chess game ever. it was epic


wynsday
i woke up this morning and tried to play the piano but the keeys and pedals were freeeezing i looked at the thermostat and it said it was 56. i guess we didnt realize wed have to use the furnace in florida.


i found a bouncy ball in the closet yesterday so ive just been bouncing it all day in between knocking doors. for lunch we went to this fancy grocery store called publix and got sandwiches. literally everyone tells me that you have to go to publix. dude the sandwich was gargantuan. after I devoured that we headed off to district counsil. the council was good. i got people to sign my transfer journal and I told them they were only allowed to write two words each cause I didnt have too much space.


then we just visited a bunch of people, we gave this one lady a blessing and I was the one who gave it so that was exciting.


thyrsday
i just did the big blunder. I woke up this morning and realized that I was out of socks so I grabbed my laundry and put it in the washer. little did I know, 2 roles of paper towels had fallen into the washer before I put my clothes in. some genius(me) decided it would be a grand idea to store the paper towels above the washer when it was done I opened it to see my wet clothes covered in soggy paper towels. moral of the story: DONT store paper towels above the washer.


today we weekly planned and then headed off to TAB to get our new tire put on. dude tires are so expensive, it was like 200 for one tire. the church paid for it though so it was fine. for lunch Elder Clark really wanted to hit up micky d's and that was a mistake. now I just wanna puke. i finished my other bracelet but we didnt have any more string to make another. we had some thread though, so I used that instead. the bracelet is gonna be exceptionally thin though.


we had dinner today with the lamars and it was soup... i used to not really like soup but now ill pretty much eat anything. we had a good lesson with them and then proceeded to discuss a bunch of philosophical questions. it was a good time, 10/10 would recomenddd. when we got home I did 100 pushups and listend to a confrence talk while I folded da laundry


fryday
today we made a TON of contacts we visited so many people it was crazy. there was this one member house that we visited that was a pretty cool miricle. we hadent met them yet so we figured wed stop by. when we got there they were just about to leave to go to the hospital because they thought he had something wrong with his appendix. we ended up giving him a blessing, and it was just so cool that we showed up when we did. right after that we had a lesson that we brought one of the members to and it was so fire shes probably gonna come to chudch on sunday and were really excited about that. we both had to pee so bad during that whole lesson so after that we rushed home to use el banyo. then we zoomed to sister Gayle's for another lesson. right after that we went to dinner with Junior at this very mid chiniese place.


syrurday
dude these people here are weeeak. we visited this one lady and we had to meet outside because we cant be alone in the house with her. it was like 57° and she came out with a ginormus winter coat. she was like how are you guys not wearing jackets. its freezing. we were like where we're from its about 20° rn, this is nothing. without all the cold though, it dosent even feel like christmas. its the same weather here that it would be in Utah around fall. i feel like im about to go trick or treating and it dosent really help that Elder Clark despises chistmas music ill have to convince him to send me his christmas playlist. hopefully my next comp likes christmas music... speaking of that I get transfer calls today!!! im 99% sure im gonna be shiped off to another area so im soo excited to figure out where im going next.


we drove up to trenton today but the dude forgot we were coming by so he was at the gym when we got there. we got transfer calls tonight though... and guess what... im going to branford!!! the area is just 30 minutes north of where I am rn. my new comp is named Elder Larkin. thats all I really know about him. he will have just finished training so im going to be greenie breaking him... im a little nervous but hopefully it goes well. i mean Ive spent my whole mission so far in the same place so it will be intresting to see what other places are like.


Junior gave us our Christmas stuff tonight cause im leaving and the dude gave us both real silver necklaces


synday

Really long, really great talk about missionaries-from Mom

Hey, I found this really great talk about missionaries. It is really long, but so good. Definitely something to contemplate. I don't know yet if you are being transferred or not, but I know someday you will. I know you will need to make decisions about what kind of missionary you want to be with your next companion, in your next area, for the rest of your mission. I think this talk was really great at talking about different types of missionaries and turning your heart and mind over to God so He can make you into the man He wants you to be. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this talk. I hope you really study it and pray about it and how it can help you in the rest of your mission, but most importantly how God can help you become the man you want to be and He wants you to be for the rest of your life and through eternity. Love you so much! Mom Quotes: You can't be happy if you don't want to do the things that lead to happiness, even if you do those very thin...

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...

tuesday for breakfast I had a smoothie, and during personal study we got a referral from soical media and it actually turned out super promising. it was from this dude named David. we called him and ended up scheduling a church tour later today. at the food bank today it was crazy once again. pretty much the food bank is always like VP on a friday night. well except its tuesday afternoon, and all your coworkers are super old and ask you to lift all the heavy things. that last part was good though. I need the workout and its hard to get gains without weights. I stole some bagels from the food bank then we were outta there at 2. for lunch we found some waffle mix so we cooked those up. sooo good after that we had the church tour, and we ran around mayo visiting people. for dinner sis Newman made us PBJs, and larkin and I reenacted the scene from zootopia where theyre in the dmv and theres all the sloths, so that was pretty funny. after we got home I played the piano(with my new metrinom...
