Hello everybody how is it all goin. It's been pretty solid out here in the field. This area is slowly ramping up. We are teaching more people so that is good. Still a lot of finding most of the days but we have a lot more teaching appointments now compared to the beginning of the transfer.
I think I have talked a little bit about one of the guys we’re teaching named Jesse. He is a super cool guy and we have been teaching him and he is continuing to progress and it's awesome. He kinda looks like Post Malone without all of the tattoos haha. We started meeting with him twice a week so we can keep him on track and keep him solid. He struggles a little bit with smoking but he expressed to us that he wants to give it up. He says he only smokes two cigarettes a day so I figured that is not very much and that he should be able to break that habit. Overall though he is a solid guy and I love meeting with him!
So, funny story. On P-day this week we got rear ended so that was pretty lit. We were just sitting at a stop light and it was the four of us elders in the car then all of the sudden we just got nailed and all of our heads jerked forward and all of us were like "did we just get rear ended?" Sure enough we totally did. So we just pulled into a parking lot and a of course a teenager pops out of the car. Since it is a mission vehicle we had to call the police out and have them file a whole police report on it and get it all filed. Both cars were lucky because there is really no physical damage showing but the church still wants us to go through all the red tape just to make sure everyone is good and covered so it was a lil bit of a hassle. Good times, good times.
This week we had the opportunity to go and do some service for a man that we have found and kind of began teaching. He is such a cool guy too! He is in his mid 60's and works at a GM plant and works as a technician there. He is a devout Christian which is awesome. But yeah today we helped him move some wood in his yard because he has a cool project where his is just cutting up wood stumps and stacking it around is property and making it look like a fence. It's a pretty cool idea and it looks super cool. But it's a lot of work... But it was fun getting out of a white shirt and tie and getting down and getting to work. The coolest part though is, as we were moving the wood we were no joke able to teach him the entire restoration in the most casual way. It was so natural and real. It was more of a conversation because he was asking us great questions. It was super awesome and he seemed really interested and tuned in. He also already had a Book of Mormon and had been reading and he was asking us about that too! Over all it was super cool and I can’t wait to go back there and haul some more wood!
Overall a pretty solid week! Hope everyone is doing good! Love you all
This week goes out to Kobe, SEND IT FOR THE LORD
