So great week!! Last P-day we played a ton of
basketball (same thing today too!!!) Got this sweet new plush blanket with two
black labs on it and a sunset in the background. Yeah I know it's cool ahha.
Keeps me warm at night! Tuesday was sweet!! Had District Meeting and then
exchanges with our Zone Leaders! Elder Benson (my homie) came to my area this
time! Was super chill and we are like best friends out here haha. We started
talking with everyone we saw and it was great. We taught Harry and Jackie and
then afterwards Benson told me he was surprised at how well I taught and I was
like dude that means a lot. We shared some great messages with some families
and it was so spiritual! At the end of the day he told me he was grateful that
I am always improving and how much I have changed since my first day. We played
with glow sticks and I have pictures haha. Wednesday we met with so many people
and have a lot of potentials right now! I am looking forward to teaching them.
Thursday we spent a couple hours painting the outside of this soup kitchen and
then we had interviews with mission President Curtis! Was cool and he is a
great guy. Sister Curtis was fun to talk to and she told me Janet (Cowley) Rose had
written her a note! So fun to hear she knows my family, I guess her sister was
good friends with Janet! We met this guy, Cash and he is so humble and the guy
is super intelligent! He is studying physics to go into nuclear engineering or
astrophysics! Guy knows a lot and his wife is less-active and we went back on
Sunday and they are way cool with us and are open to our messages! Friday we
rescheduled Jackie's baptism to the 22nd, something came up. Saturday we dug
some holes in the morning, did progress records, and then went to the ward
Harvest Hoedown! It was a fun tailgate party and had some great food and music
;) country of course. Later that night Elder Cook wanted to walk home and drop
off our service clothes and then go back out, but I felt like we should just
leave them at the stake center and go out then. Turns out we ran into this
awesome guy name Jesus (he is Hispanic so its not pronounced Jesus lol). He was
one of the most humble guys I have ever met. The guy loved his family and
prayed every day before driving (he was a self-employed trucker) and he said he
had respect for all religions and anyone was welcome in his home. He reads the
bible and says he believes strongly in everything in it, so that is awesome! We
had such a great conversation with him and he told us to come by and if he is
home he will love for us to talk with him more! Super excited for him. The Lord
prepares people in so many ways. Sunday was awesome. Church was so spiritual
and Sister Steinagel gave her homecoming talk! She just got back from England
and she shared some great experiences and I could tell she was a great
missionary. This guy sang a solo and he is like a professional singer and the
spirit was so strong. Part of the song he sang said "Jesus' love, is like
a lighthouse" and that is so true! It is our lighthouse to help us find our
way! We ate at the Allen's (way fun family) and she made Texas sheet cake!!! :)
so good. This week was overall great. Loving it so much out here. I am so
happy!! Love and miss y'all.
