literally felt like P-Day was like 2 days ago. They weren't lying when
they said the mission goes by fast...I'm over 3 months out and it
feels like I just left. Danggg well I had a good week! Some more
interesting stuff happened but I've just kinda gotten used to the
weird stuff that happens here in hoodberry lol. Well right now where
I'm at in SC the people are like rejoicing because USC (University of
South Carolina not South Cal) has been winning, and Clemson finally
lost! Also everyone here loves Trump so there's like a million
American flags and trump posters everywhere. They're real happy:) too
bad y'all didn't write in Dallin H. Oaks:(
Ill start this week with missionary stuff, then talk about the
interesting stuff. This week we set a mission record of 29 referrals
in one week. We went to a trailer park to contact an online bible
request, and met the owner of the trailer park. Turned out she is a
member in the Ridgeway Ward, and she gave us names and addresses of 27
people in her trailer park that could use our message!! We normally
get like 3 or 4 referrals in a week, and our goal was 5 so we did
pretty good this week lol. That happened on Friday, and we were going
to try to add to it by asking the apartment manager in our complex
that has like 100 apartments and try to get like 50 referrals, but she
doesn't work weekends so we couldn't talk to her:( any missionaries
reading this I definitely recommend doing this lol.
We also were able to put a lady named Karen P. on date this
week! She knew a ton and I'm way excited to work with her more! We had
exchanges with the zone leaders, and one exchanges I got to go on an
exchange with an older member in our ward to an investigators house
and basically teach the lesson on my own with his testimony thrown in
which was cool:)
This week we went into Chapin, one of the areas by ours to help with
service. We helped this old lady with her yard and pulled out like 50
stumps. On one of the stumps I was trying to pull it out and was
pulling as hard as I could, then it suddenly broke and shot up between
my legs...and it cut my thigh hahaha but ya I got a pretty big cut on
my thigh but it's pretty high up so not gonna send a pic of it lol.
Now more fun stuff:) this week we had our investigator Blue over to
the church. There was a relief society activity going on so there were
tons of snacks. Blue decided to eat 3 cookies even though he's
diabetic. We started playing basketball with some other kids and blue
walked off. He sat down on the couch and passed out cause his sugar
was too high. We had to shake him pretty hard to wake him up, then run
out to his car to get his medicine cause he hasn't taken it. Kinda
scary but he was good in like 15 minutes:)
My back is pretty messed up from the dedication I'm having out here.
This week we have been biking every day, and I have been working
really hard on learning how to do what the locals call "walking the
bike" or doing a wheelie. After doing like 500 wheelies a day for 3
days I could barely even stand cause my back was so messed up. Luckily
our ward mission leader is a physical therapist and we got it all
figured out so I'm good now:)
That's pretty much all for this week:) I hope everyone is doing well!!
I love you guys and am so grateful for everything y'all did for me
over the years! Make sure you read and pray everyday!! Love y'all<3
