Hello everyone!!
This week has been reallyyyyy interesting… Lots of rain, lots of biking, and lots of bike problems…
Tuesday
Not the best day… we started out playing pickleball at 5 AM cause the other elders (Willardson and Hale) are crazy for pickleball… and they were 20 minutes late too!! After that, we went thrifting for shirts and ties… then, I crashed my bike so that hurt a lot… my bike handle hinge broke and so my wheel like took a sharp turn that I was NOT expecting, and so I fell over onto the cement and skidded a little. It was pretty painful, but I’m doing better now! We then went to in-and-out… we forgot to do laundry, so oops…. and then we started our exchange! I went with Elder Hale this time. He does a vlog every night, so I got to feature this time!
Wednesday
Crazy day!! First off, the area i was in was actually a deaf ward! Or like that’s the ward where deaf people go! We started out the day by giving a blessing to a lady in a hospital… we then knocked a LOT of doors after, to which not much success. I started implementing some magic into the knocking though, and so we got some people that way! We went to a deaf person’s house for dinner, so that was a very different cool experience! The guy’s best friend actually lives in Federal Way, right next to steel lake! We then went to an ASL class after, and I learned the whole alphabet! Then, we got HAILED ON! It was raining so hard, and I was biking for like 20 minutes in it! We then met up with the other elders and exchanged back!
Thursday
Started off by doing a LOT of calls… then, we did lots of knocking! Not much success, and it was like 107 degrees that day… double sad. We met with a guy named Ramone with the Hermanas, which was AWESOME cause you could just tell the spirit was there teaching to him. He had a lot of anti-questions (polygamy, blah blah blah)… But for dinner we had the Maxfields, and they are AWESOME!! First off, the dinner they cooked up was like amazing! It was like a chicken Alfredo with garlic bread it was so so scrumptious. I actually ate WAY too much, I about threw up after… And then we played a few games with them, like one called Mexican train?? I hadn’t heard of it but it was fun! Although Sister Maxfield destroyed me in it… home-field advantage? We then played some volleyball!!! Which i missed so much, i havent played since the mtc…
Friday
Today we met with a cool guy named Jim! He was super awesome, and willing to learn more about the gospel and come to church! We did lots of knocking and lots of calls in the evening as well… Pretty normal day!
Saturday
Unfortunately, Elder Balls’s tire popped and so we had to go to a repair shop and fix it. I also decided that I wanted to start learning some Korean, so I was just kind of grinding some of that out while waiting for the repair! The Petersons took us out to dinner at Raisin Canes (yes very bussin)
Sunday
We went to church, and a lot of friends showed up! Two of which we actually didn’t know… I met a guy named Samuel who had met with Elder Balls before… He was previously a member of the ITALIAN MAFIA!! And served 18 years in prison… he just barely got out and now he’s interested in our church! After Elder’s Quorum, I put him on date! That was awesome!! Thennn Elder Balls’s bike like is special or something cause the tire just keep deflating without a visible hole.. and then he changed the tire, and it happened again! So now we’re without bikes until Wednesday, when he gets provided with a new bike…
Monday
So, we were walking around all day! We had district council… we also went knocking with the Spanish Elders since they picked us up for district council! Yvette actually put in another media referral and wanted to meet with us again! That was a little miracle! We met with her and we put her on date again! We then met with Samuel and taught him more about the gospel! So yay!! Awesome day!
TLDR
Kind of a slow week because of some biking issues, but we put 2 more people on date for baptism! We are looking to baptize probably those 2 people this upcoming month!
See you next week!
