This week has been a good one, I'm sad to see it go but I'm excited for the next one. We've been doing a lot of service lately for our community. We've mowed Lawns and put in a mailbox and cleaned a house. So anyways I've had a good time on my mission. Here's the week.
TUESDAY- Today was a good day, we went to District Meeting in Inverness cause we had interviews right after and so I gave a training on what a Successful missionary is. It went well. So then we finished up the meeting and we went to get lunch and then do comp study and then we came back and waited for our turn for interviews. We were supposed to be at 330 but we ended up being at 5. So we had our interviews and Sister Sainsbury was getting advice from every missionary who's been out the longest(the veterans). So interviews went great and Elder Krupa and Steele said that when I leave they'll either be split up or they'll get a greenie. So we don't know what's gonna happen. They both wanna stay but we think Krupas out. Then we came home and then we went over to the Bakers and had dinner and played aggravation and then we came home for the night.
WEDNESDAY- today we went and got our car examined for the bumper to be replaced and then we did comp study and then we went home for lunch and then we went with a member bro Fernandez and we saw Charlie and we taught him the Plan of salvation and Brother Fernandez basically told Charlie that he needs to get baptized and go through the temple before he dies. Lol. There was no questions after that. So then he showed us some of the stuff he has and we moved a door that he had and then we left and went back to the Church and then we went over to the Archibalds and shared a message with them and then we went home and had dinner and then we went to Him class and 3 people showed up this time. It was great then we tried seeing this guy Chris but he wasn't home so we went to Sonic then home.
THURSDAY- today we biked to the Church and I did my plan for about an hour and then we did some area book for an hour and then we biked home and drove to Jim n Nicks for lunch with Sister Prestridge, it was really good. Then we came back home and did Weekly planning for about 2 hours and then Elder Krupa did his Language study and then we went and saw this guy Seth who hasn't been to church since 2003. We talked with him and laughed with him and he told us that there wasn't a chance he would come back so then he said but I'll read the book of Mormon with y'all. He hasn't read it since then. So then we left and went to the Church for our coordination meeting and then brother Stewart took us to Lee's chicken and he baught us food for the night and then we went home.
FRIDAY- so today we went over to a house and we helped clean this abandoned house. Homeless people used to live in it and were kicked out cause of it. So we all did different stuff. Elder Steele Put in a mailbox and I mowed the lawn and Elder Krupa used the trimmer. We then cleaned a little bit inside and then we were getting ready to go and it just started pouring rain. The road was a lake. When we were cleaning a room I decided to get some gloves out of the car and as I was walking out of the room a huge clash of lighting came and I turned around and went back into the room. The big man Upstairs didn't want me to leave. Lol. Jk. So we got home showered and had lunch and then we did comp study and then we went and saw sister Gerlitzki and Elder Steele fixed her computer and then we went to try and see some other people but only one person was home and we gave their child a blessing. Then we went home and me and Elder Steele made tator tot casserole and it was delicious.
SATURDAY- so today was a rainy day. Elder Fotu and Adams showed up during our personal study and they talked with us and then we went out and it was storming so bad. Lighting flashes everywhere. But Elder Krupa still wanted go out. So we went and tried to see some people but only 1 person was home we read the 1st chapter if the book of Mormon with her. Then we went home and had lunch and then we went to help the person with the house again and we trimmed the trees and moved sticks out to the road and tried to get a bush out but no luck and so then we went home and changed and did comp study and then Language study and then we had dinner and then we went to see Charlie and he was in bad shape. (He's had an open heart surgery) He had no energy and so we talked with him and read a scripture with him and then we went home and we got a big storm. Then we got home.
SUNDAY- today we went to church and we passed the sacrament and then we had other classes and then we went home and had lunch and then we went tracting for an hour and we only found 1 person and then we went to see some less actives but they weren't home so then we went to the Bakers and Elder Krupa made tacos for them and we played aggravation and they were watching some teens that night so I decided to bring out the lacrosse stick and show them what it's like. Then we played 2 on 2 football.(I made the winning catch.. Just sayin) then we went to the Church for English class and then we went home for the night.
MONDAY- today we did laundry and got some stuff at the store. Later today we are gonna try and see some people we contacted in a trailer park yesterday. We just got done with disc golf. It was just us 3. Its soooo hot today. 92 with 90% humidity.
We are gonna call Doc this week to see how shes doing. A couple weeks ago they said she was doing well, but we want to check before I go home. But don’t worry, she’s gonna be active till she dies. She’s a stubborn lady. Lol. If you met her you’d know why. And we haven’t heard from Gavin. We are going to try and reach out to him this week before I go.
Dang, the house looks good...........no words. Lol. What happened to dads hunting prizes on the wall? Well when I shoot mine, it’s going in the house. Haha. It looks really good!!!!!!!!! I don't blame dad for wanting to wait and clean garage and shed. Lol. He hasn't had a bear to help him. Lol.
One of the kids showed me Fortnite last night. Lol. It looks so weird. I know Tyler can’t wait to show it to me. Lol!
We bike only like once a week. We're gonna bike a lot on Wednesday and Thursday cause our car has to get a new bumper.
Yeah, I am feeling more nervous and sad. Mainly cause it's hard to say goodbye to the many friends I made out here but my time is almost up. I called Kenny, he told me that when I come visit to tell him ahead of time. He'll cook for us. Lol. His words. After the airport I probably would rather go home and I can unpack stuff and then go to dinner later.
I wanna try and send home by bike next week, Tuesday. We have district meeting that day. We will also be in Ensley on Monday for the district activity. We are going on the same hike we did last time. So it’ll be nice but were going on exchange after that. One of the guys up there wants me to come home and date his sister. Lol.
I'm 100% up with mowing with Landon. I love it.
Anyways loved the camping pics!!! LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

I'll end this with my testimony.
As a missionary, it's hard to go around and knock on people's doors not knowing what's on the other side. But it's hard when people reject us. But what I've learned is that people aren't rejecting you...theyre rejecting the message you bring. So that's helped me a lot throughout the years I've been here. Ya see people know about Christ here that's what makes it hard. They (think) they already know Christ and they just tell a lot of people to go away. But then you have some that accept you and are baptized, the Lord's Elect. I testify that as we find the Elect people they will experience a change of heart and you also will be able to witness the spirit working through them as well. I love this Gospel , it's brought me so much joy and comfort and hope for the future. In this world it's really hard to find that but once you come to know your Savior Jesus Christ nothing can bring more joy in this world than that. I know this Church is the Lord's kingdom restored to the earth. He's called a prophet to lead and guide us. I have a testimony of the book of Mormon. I agree with and Stand by the prophet Joseph Smith who said "a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" i so testify of it! I love you all and hope you find the joy that I've found in this Gospel.
