Speed Email

Image
ONCE AGAIN A SPEED EMAIL! My time management skills? Down the drain. My bullet point abilities? At an all time high. If you want more information, please feel free to email me, but for the weekly info drop, it's another short list of highlights. FOR THIS WEEK'S STUFF THAT HAPPENED THAT I THOUGHT WAS COOL: - We had such a sick lesson with a guy named Grant this week! He's super cool and really searching, but he said he can't meet again until AFTER CHRISTMAS! That was just kind of the worst. So hopefully he still wants to talk after Christmas haha - Thanksgiving was so much fun! We went over to this awesome member family's house name the Langi's, and it was awesome! They have a little 3 year old daughter named Mia and she didn't disagree when I told her we are best friends so I think that's a strong sign of agreement. - On Thanksgiving some random guy named Muhammed who didn't speak English handed us his phone to talk to his son in Kuwait. So, we did t...

NOVEMBER IS WARM HERE

Hey you guys! So apparently I say I will get better at emails and then I turns out I only save 10 minutes to write these emails. Sorry about it. This week is going to be a short email, but this week was pretty great! I'll just hit the highlights! - We have had some awesome member meals this week, which has been great! We got fed by the Gonzalez family on Sunday which was so good! They don't speak English though, so that was quite the experience. I said lo siento a lot. - IT'S NOVEMBER AND 78 DEGREES! I'm loving it. I'm missing the snow, but I'm loving the sun. Since I can't ski, I think I prefer the sun right now. - We found a bunch of new people we're really excited about this week. We're hoping that they keep progressing! We have a ton of meetings set up for this next week, so we're crossing our fingers that they don't fall through. - Our friend Klaus came to church! He wore a Bane mask, so I could understand about 0% of the words he said...

Heyo everyone! Dang time flies on pday! I only have ten minutes to write this email, so it's going to be a short one. But it's all good! I'll just hit the highlights: - We drove all the way across our area in a car and then found out we didn't have the keys. It was iconic. - We had a guy on date to be baptized, but then he canceled it during our next meeting. Turns out he's a Neo-Nazi. Who would've thunk? I promise he didn't seem like a Neo-Nazi. It was quite the debacle. - We met a guy who's going to let me know when the new season of Attack On Titan comes out and tell me whether it's good or not. His name is DaQuarius. He's a beast. - We met a guy who claims he has first edition Jordan 1's. We're trying to meet with him on Thursday. You better believe I'm going to be checking if those bad boys are real. - In our apartment, sometimes it seems like we only speak through movie quotes. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Napoleon Dynamite...

Hey everyone! Man this week was something else. We got quarantined for three days! We have another companionship that we live with named Elder Noble and Elder Fazen, so that was nice to have some human interaction outside of our companionship. One of the zone leaders we had been with this week showed some signs of Coronavirus, so we had to stay inside for three days before we got his test results back. That was pretty much most of our week. We called a lot of people and cooked a lot of food. It was pretty rough, so I'm glad it was only 3 days! Sunday was awesome though. We taught some of our best investigators, which went awesome! If you guys would keep Kizito, DQ, and Richard in your prayers, that would be awesome! I also got to go on exchanges with Crew Jensen this week! For those of you who don't know, Elder Jensen and I went to high school together. He's an absolute beast! We had such a fun time, and I learned so much from him. He's a total beast of a missionary! So...

TIME FLIES

Hey everyone! Sorry, I don't have a ton of time to write this week, but I hope you're all having such a great time back at home! I miss you all so much! We got to meet with our mission president this week, and it was awesome. I love that man so much! We also got to have a lot more lessons this week, which was super fun. I got to spend one day as a Spanish elder during exchange's, and I thrived. Haha just kidding, I had no idea how to say anything but I had a really good time. It was fun seeing the gospel spread in an entirely new language. That will be super cool to see once I get to Ukraine! Also, happy late Halloween everyone. I hope it was a good one! We didn't really get up to anything but service on Halloween, but it was still super fun. Doing yard work on Halloween is actually the move. I read a talk from President Monson this last week called "Finding Joy in the Journey". It was all about making the best of every moment and oppurtunity, because we ne...
