Kids! What's the Matter with Kids Today?, Getting To Old?, Double Blitz, Slow Week
Well I am now at that ripe old age of being a one handed man... Both
transfers and months fit there individually :/... But all old
missionary pride to the side I'm waiting to take over as the oldest
missionary in this zone come next transfer✌🏻💪🏻!! 19 months down
with a little less than five to go is a strange feeling. Ok I'll quit
being trunky.
So this past week didn't hold to much for us but I'll report the good
and plenty. So Tuesday we had a lesson in the morning with some recent
converts. A mom and Daughter duo Nicole and her daughter Hailey. They
seem to be a sweet family though I didn't really get to know who they
were since our member was the one driving the lesson, and a good
lesson it was too... Such a great description right?
Later that night we went on splits and I was left with Brother Hooper
to teach Jachin about the Law of Tithing. It went really well and like
usual most people have a bit of a concern that they will be asked to
give money but after some explaining he was totally fine with it and
as we followed up we found out that he has pretty well quit drinking
tea so we are right on track for his baptism next week ;)!
Wednesday? Let's just say that everything fell through and I really am
not sure what we did during the mean time besides going and doing
service for our one meal appointment. I don't know about anyone else
but when I get back I'm going to the gym daily... Every other day...
Maybe twice a week. Anyways I'm one of the few elders that works out
every morning and I'm tired of everyone thinking I'm just this skinny
wimp so I have some goals!
Thursday... So I've been noticing for about the past transfer or two
that all of the rules we received last year are being regivin this
(new missionaries and all). But what's gotten a little bit annoying is
that all of these new zone leaders who are a year or under act as if
the older missionaries have never heard of these things and have the
aura that they are the more obedient generation. Maybe I'm wrong but
that's the vibe that I'm getting.
Anyways I had a faulter after zone training for the first time on the
mission. We went down to pray before leaving the apartment and all I
remember is saying amen and then my arms hurting for some reason. Well
I guess that amen had happened thirty minutes earlier cause I was down
and out for the count :/!
We had another lesson with Jachin but we had to go to his house since
we didn't have a member to take him to the church with us.
Surprisingly his house was super quiet and not busy like it usually is
so we had a great lesson about the Ten Commandments and the
priesthood. His drunk uncle was a bit of a jerk though. We are
teaching the Ten Commandments and suddenly he yells Moses didn't say
that it was Jesus! It was Jesus who said that, you Mormons are so
screwed in your thinking. As he stormed out of the house. Meanwhile we
were in the Old Testament :3...
Friday we doubled into the 1st Ward elders area since neither of our
companions has a legal drivers license for here in the states. It was
fun since I was with Elder Foster who I served around in North Philly.
Cornelius went to him right after me so it was all good.
Saturday nothing.
Yesterday not to much. We almost didn't have a lesson since we showed
up just to see our investigator get into and drive off in her car. We
sat there for about thirty minutes with a less active till she showed
up again. Later that night I was asked five minutes before the Spanish
baptism to play the piano... True to Hispanic culture I got an hours
practice before the actual things started and it was all one handed,
so yup!
