Last email....July 10, 2018
Hey Mom,
MY LAST EMAIL!!!!!!!!! I can't believe we've made it!!! It feels like i just started. Lol. We're all shocked that Krupa is leaving the area but oh well.
I'm filled with mixed emotions, I'm sad to be leaving but I'm also happy cause I get to see my family and catch up on what's went on for the past 2 years. I've made so many friends out here and some I will cherish for the longest time. So Ladies and Gentlemen here is my last week as a missionary of God's army.
TUESDAY- Today we were on an exchange and so me and Elder Butterfield went to change oil and do a tire rotation and then we went back home changed and we went to my last District meeting and we did a funeral for me and another missionary. And so it went well then I said the closing prayer and then we went to kings wings and then we went to the Church and had our last lunch with everyone then we went to drop my bike off and then we went back to the apartment and had our exchange review and then me and Elder Steele went and did the mugshot challenge(again). We both lost but I bet Steele. Lol. Then Steele went and threw it all up and I just felt like garbage then we went to a dinner appointment and had more food lol. I felt like crap but we then went home after that. Lol.
WEDNESDAY- today was a great day we went and tried to see this person Lea but she wasn't home so we went to see sister Gerlitzki and she now calls us her son's because were all so "bright" young men. Lol. Then we went and had lunch at the Fernandezes and they had me day the prayer for the food since I'm leaving and then we talked with Gavin and their family and then we took pictures and then we left and went to see Charlie and visited with him so he wasn't alone for the holiday and then we went to a subway and Elder Krupa did language study and then we met a family who met missionaries in the past and so they invited us to cone by Saturday and then we went to our branch presidents house and had pulled pork and talked with the family and they talked to me about when I go home. Then we left and went home for the night.
THURSDAY- today was a good day, 1 week till I'm home!! We started the morning off by going to the. Church and I had my exit interview with President and that went well. He trusts me a lot then we went to see Lea and we taught her a little bit about the Restoration and then we went home for lunch and we did comp study and language study and then we went to play Basketball with Gavin and then we had book of Mormon Class and a lot of people were there for this one then we had coordination with bro Stewart and we said our goodbyes and then we went home for the night.
FRIDAY- today was a good day we went to the Prestridges and helped him on his farm. Bro Fernandez was there and Elder Krupa put wood chips under the tomato plants. And Elder Steele picked squash and then I mowed in between rows of corn for weeds.(pictures below). Then we had KFC chicken and then we left and we went home and changed and then we tried to see some people but nothing so we went to Corys and had dinner with him and then we went to try and see the Cancer but they weren't home so we went to Sonic to celebrate me being 2 years out on the mish. Then we went home.
SATURDAY- today was a good day. We went to the mannings in the morning and talked with them and had some bomb sandwiches and then we left and we went home changed and then went to the Bakers and Elder Krupa Weed eated and I mowed a lawn that was like a tiny jungle lol. Then we had some dinner then we showered and went to see the family we met at subway and taught them the Restoration. They agreed with it and then we left and went home for the night. It was raining really hard.
SUNDAY- today was a sad day, we went to church and I was called up to bear my testimony in sacrament meeting and then people told me how much they're gonna miss me and how much I changed their lives and they will never forget me. Then we went home and then went with bro Prestrige to see sister Massey and give her the sacrament and then we went to the bakers and had dinner and played aggravation and then we went to English class and then we went home night.
MONDAY- today was a good/sad day my last proselyting day as a missionary. So we went to the Church and made fliers for English class and then we went to Jonny Bruskos with Sister Prestridge and had Italian lunch and then we went home and did Weekly planning and language study and then we went and tracted for a half hour and we only met 1 person. Then we went to the Mannings and Elder Krupa made tacos for everybody and then as a tradition as a missionary dies(goes home) they burn a suit representing their death. So I decided I was gonna do it and it went great sad but fun. Then we got transfer calls and Elder Krupa is leaving and Steele is staying. Lol so yup. Then we went home.
TUESDAY- today we're getting our laundry done and packing and seeing some members and bowling or and then we are going to the bakers tonight for my last dinner appointment.
My back is feeling better I've been taking ibuprofen more and it's helped. Still sore some times but I can move better.
Yeah 26 missionaries will be going home this week. Tomorrow we are going to transfers at 11. Then at 1 were going through the temple and then probably going to the mission home and then the hotel. I won't have any Wi-Fi till the hotel. The mannings might come up and take me and Elder Fotu out to eat 1 last time that night as well.
I think it's funny dad' and me are gonna be comps for a day. Lol.
I wouldn't trade anything for the last 2 years that I've had. I'm gonna miss the people of the South but I'm glad Im able to come see my real family out there. I'm so excited to see y'all. I'm so sad that I can't take the people I've met our here home with me. Alabama will be in my heart forever the people of the South will never be forgotten and as I've been told here I'll never be forgotten. People can't wait till I come back and see them lol.
Well y all that's the week and I'm sad to see it come to and end but I'm also excited to see what's in store for me in the future. I'd like to thank everyone who was a part of my mission and who gave me the encouragement to press forward. I'll end this with my firm testimony.
My mission has changed my life. I've seen people lives change and I've also seen my own character change. It was such a privilege to be a part of the work here in Alabama. It is a great place filled with great and not so great people. I'm gonna miss the people here but I'm glad I had the chance to serve here. I know Heavenly Father lives and loves each and every one of you he's aware of your circumstances. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior. I've came so close to them just being out here. I know that this is the only true church on the earth with the fullness of the gospel. I'm so thankful for family and I can't wait to give them a hug. If anybody has somone going on a mission my answer is DO IT! It's the best decision ive ever made. I say this in the name of our savior and redeemer Just a Christ Amen.
LOVE YOU FOREVER.

Hey yall!!!
This week has been a great one!!! I have a week and a half left on my mission. Crazy right!!! I've had so many experiences out here, ones I will cherish and ones I want to forget. Lol. Anyways here's the week.
TUESDAY- today we biked to the Church and did some area book work and then we did our district meeting over Skype and just let me tell ya it was sooo awkward. It was good but just awkward. Lol. Then afterwards we went home for lunch, it was really hot biking in that. Then we did comp and Language study and then we went and saw this guy Seth who's a less active and has severe anxiety and I could relate. I just don't have it as bad and I can control it. Then we went to a place called Frosty Mug. And that was really good. Then we went out to Carbon Hill and tried to find a person but we couldn't find the address so we went and had dinner with these Mexican people and then we came home.
WEDNESDAY- Today was a VERY hot day. We had to go put our car in the shop cause of a crack in the bumper(1000 dollars later) and so we were biking. So we biked to the Church and I did some of my plan and then we went and tried to see a lady but she wasn't home so then we went home and had lunch and did comp study and lang study and then we tracted a couple housed, we got nothing so then we went to the Cranors for our dinner appointment and we ask what happened to his tv and he says this, "well you know my tv how you'd say Gave up the ghost" lol. Then we had pizza then we went over to the Church and had BOM class and then we went home.
THURSDAY- today was another hot day, we went to that house we've been working on and cleaned some more and the lady that wanted help got us lunch and then we biked home and had Comp and lang study and then a member bought us pizza and then we went and tried finding people and we found this guy Jordan who has seen a lot of things in his life. He watched his friend get shot 3 times and so he's been trying to find a religion. We taught him and he seemed interested and he took a BOM and then we left and went to this place called Saltys and then we went home.
FRIDAY- today Elder Krupa went to a Spanish Confrence and me and Steele stayed here. We went and got the car and we did some family history and then we tried seeing some people but they weren't home so we went with our branch pres to see this guy Named Frank and we gave him the sacrament and a blessing and then we went to Corys and has some really good pork and then we went home.
SATURDAY- so today we went over to this inactive members and did some service for him. Mowed his lawn and painted and cleared off a car port. Then we used his mower to try and find a person that wanted their Lawn mower but the person was in Birmingham so we took it back and then we went home and showered and went and saw lea and then we went and had dinner at Los Reyes with the Crowleys and then we went to Charlie's and then we came home and Elder Steele baught 4 pizzas. Lol.
SUNDAY- today we went to church and the Stake pres was there and people were really sad to hear my last Sunday is next week. Let me tell ya we got some meal appointments lol. Then after church we went to try and follow up with people and then we went and tried to see some more people then we had dinner and then we went to see Jordan but no go. But we taught someone who was a 20 year old half naked girl that worked at chick fla. So they're some expirences that you just don't want to remember. Lol. Then we had English class then came home.
MONDAY-TODAY we are going up to Ensley for a hike and to a cave. And then staying the night for an exchange. It should be really fun!!!
So that's my week and I hope y'all have a great next week. I'm trying my best and leaving it all out on the line. I'm sprinting to the finish. Here's a quote that's been in my head for awhile, it's a good one.
"I failed Is 10× more of a man than if someone said what if, cause what if never went to the arena".
The 5th picture is the lawn I cut. It's on a big slope.
We are going to a members house later. We are trying to get an oil change on our car. But everywhere we go, they were closing. We have a lot of dinner appointments just cause I'm leaving.
It does seem unreal that my mission is almost over.
We did the burger challenge again. I lost with half a burger and 2 buns and 2 onion rings left. Elder Steele had 3 buns left and a lot of fries so I beat him. Lol. He’s been training for it and I didn’t lol.
I'm still sending my bike home Tuesday.
Have a great week!!!
