tuesday
for breakfast I made a smoothie... i worked out, studied then we went to the food bank. the food bank was insane as per usuall. Elder bassett was absolutely gobsmacked. for lunch i used my chef abilites and cooked up some chicken. it was actually un-un-gas (supprisingly) I found some balsamic vinegar in the cubord so i put some of that on it. after that we did some door knocking. it was raining all day today and Elder Bassett absolutely hated door knocking. he was like dude theres a no tresspassing sign we cant go in there. and then we did and it was fine lol. yeah the first door knocking experience is always the worst. after that we had sandwiches at sis newmans and she got to know Elder Bassett. it actually really helped him to talk to her so that was good. hes been pretty homesick, but he seemed to be doing better after that. then we went home and played magic


wensday
it was Elder Bassetts first district council today!!! there was actually a lof of things that people said during DC that were really applicable to him so that was good. the dude is super flirty though. what a blunder. after DC he said he missed Chick fil a so I took him out onna lil chickfila date. lemme tell you, those waffle fries hit diffrent. after that we just did a bunch of missionary things. we knocked doors, we visited peeps, all that good stuff. for dinner Bro Wilson took us out to the gathering and he gave us a member refferal! we like never get those so that was insanely awesome. after dinner we were driving past a bunch of baseball fields and there were some games going on so Elder Bassett was like we should go walk around. I was like that is probably the best idea ive ever heard, so we went and walked around and ended up talking to 3 people! none of them were intrested, but we got to talk to people. then we went home and studdied


thrusday.
today we did all of our morning things then went to the park to weekly plan. Elder Bassett had trouble staying focused and I have a really short attention span so it was just a huge mess. that whole experience just reminded me of Dug from Up, where hes always like "squirrel!" we eventually got it done though. for lunch Elder Bassett wanted some wheat thins so we went to the local dolar general. after that we went into our spooky barn and set up the pool table we just found sitting around in there. we couldent get it all the way level though so were going to work on it more tomo. for the rest of the day we drove around and did missionary things. one of our dudes showed up 40 minutes late to one of our lessons so that was lame. for dinner I taught Elder bassett how to make chicken (well cook chicken not make chicken. you have to be a chicken to make chicken). then we went to bed.


fridae
for breakfast I had a bagel with some cinnamon cream cheese on it and it was gas. after we studdied we headed to brother willsons saw mill. yes you read that right. the dude has a whole saw mill that he built himself. hes got a bunch of employees and stuff too. he told us that some of his employees might be intrested in the gospel so he invited us over for a tour. dude it was so cool. he was also working on turing a camp trailer into a mobile hen house that can fit 200 chickens. the man is basically preparing for the apocalypse. he has a bunch of farms and stuff too so if he needed to he could go completely off grid. after that we had lunch and played some pool. we set up the pool table outside though so there was like 3 huge bumble bees that kept hovering around us. after lunch I had no idea what to do. like we literary had nothing in our schedule so we just visited a bunch of random peeps for 4 hours. sister newman made chicken and rice for us for dinner and that hit the spot. after that we studdied, played magic and went to bed


Saturday
okay this one is gonna be a short one cuz its 10 and we loose an hour of sleep tonight. but today was pretty gas. we ended up having 3 lessons with members participating, and we even got one of the spanish speakers in our ward to come to a lesson with our friend Jesùs. it poured buckets all day today so that was awesome.


sunday
church today was kindof a hot mess. the organ once again wasnt working so we just sang accapello(idk if i spelled that right). the chorister was super duper off key so it was once again a good thing that none of our friends came to church. it was fast sunday today so like half the ward went to this one restaurant after church so that was kinda weird. like no one was fasting and i guess people just go out to eat on sundays in the south after that we just drove around and visted tons of people... guess what. we got to play football with these one homies. it was these two black kids our age and we knocked on their door and they were like you wanna play football? so we were like yeah were down. it was so much fun. I got a pretty epic touchdown where I rolled into the endzone and it was crazy. I got grass stains all over my white shirt though. after that we had dinner with these peeps who do a dinner every sunday and they gave us pork belly. it was pretty good except for the actual belly part. after that we just studdied and now were just chilling at home

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...

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...

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...
