Here is this week's report:
11/20 Monday
Today was a normal proselyting day. Transfers and P-day will be tomorrow. We had a great day, we got in with a part member family and had a good little visit with them. Edna is the non-member wife and she is from the Philippines. They are very nice and we hope that we can start teaching them and help them come to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Tonight, we also went to another part member family‘s house and they were playing some basketball in their gym. We were able to play with them a little bit and it was a lot of fun. There were 14 non-members there.
11/21 Tuesday
There are only four missionaries going home this transfer. Elder Jensen and I usually attend the temple with the departing missionaries, but since there are so few we decided that we would not go this time. Transfers took place this morning they went pretty smoothly compared to last time. We’ve been pretty stressed out and worried that they weren’t going to go that well but we were pleasantly surprised. Tonight we spent the evening at President’s house and had a wonderful dinner, played some games, and had a testimony meeting with the departing missionaries. There is this game we play every time that is super fun and let’s just say it’s been awhile since I’ve been beat.
11/22 Wednesday
It doesn’t stop! This morning we woke up and took the departing missionaries to the airport. We were worried that the airport was going to be packed because it’s the day before Thanksgiving, but thankfully, it was not that busy and we were able to get the missionaries on their way. After that Elder Jensen and I were able to go proselyting for a little while, then at 3 PM the new missionaries arrived on the shuttle from Salt Lake. There are 11 new missionaries in the mission. They are great missionaries and we are excited for them. There’s a sister that came from Lovell, Wyoming, and she knows Jacob Newman and Chase Erickson. It’s a small world. Elder Jensen told me the funniest story today. He was talking about his very first contact as a new missionary in the mission. He walked up to a guy in his garage that was working on an old car. The man was covered in tattoos, bald, super tall, and had one leg. Elder Jensen, scared to death, walks up to this man and asks if the car is a manual. The man looks at Elder Jensen in a puzzled, pissed off look and then looks down at his missing leg and says nope. Hahaha, I died when he told me that!
11/23 Thursday
Thanksgiving. Today was an interesting day to say the least. We had dinner with a wonderful family and there was a guy there that absolutely loves fly fishing and hunting and it was tough not to get distracted. Haha, it was a good time. Later in the day were invited to go to a recent converts house and visit them. The mom was baptized in Utah three or four years ago. Her niece was baptized a few months ago and her daughter was baptized a couple years ago as well. Other than the mom being drunk and the dog taking a crap next to the table while we were eating, it was a great dinner…
11/24 Friday
Today was a sweet day. We were on bikes pretty much the whole day and we were able to talk to so many people. It is nice because a lot of people are off work and so there were lots of people outside. It’s been a good minute since I’ve biked a whole day, so my legs are pretty beat tonight. Haha
11/25 Saturday
Today I went on an exchange with Elder Sorensen from Evanston, it was a great day! It was a lot of fun!
11/26 Sunday
Today we gave talks! It was great, I told a story and everyone complimented me on the story not the talk haha whoops!
Love,
Elder Call
