Man I love the South!!!
The weather here is amazing, it's upper 70's and humid. I honestly love the humidity it makes you feel like you're in Hawaii sometimes. And everything is super green right now, we were knocking on some doors the other night and we were pretty much in the woods it was pretty sweet actually. Last Sunday we had dinner at the Thomas and this Sunday we did too it was so nice of them to have us over. But their kid Brody is playing baseball and so he is in coach pitch right now. I gave him some pitching lessons and it was so fun! Today we are going to the Mesiscos.....they have a lake on their property. Their daughter plays D1 beach volleyball, so we're going to play beach volleyball as a district today and I'm super stoked. It's going to be so fun! I'm going to bring my gloves too so we can play catch. I'm hyped! I was so tempted to go to the fair here and ride some of the rides so we called our zone leaders to see if we could and they shut that idea down 😠oh well.
Tuesday we went and taught a potential investigator named Angie, she was super nice and friendly. We were only able to teach her about the Book of Mormon because she talked so much. But we got done teaching and she just started making us some fried chicken wings haha. Honestly they were some of the best chicken wings I've ever had 😂 it was a little sketchy though I didn't want to get food poisoning. We went back and taught her the full restoration yesterday. It was so funny, she is pretty ghetto and so she was just like give it to me straight I don't want no lies. It was awesome so we taught her and she had some great questions and the spirit totally took over the lesson because at one point she handed us the book of Mormon back and somehow she ended up being really interested in it. We were amazed.
The family that we started teaching a couple weeks ago, the Bennetts are amazing. The mom is pregnant and about to burst any day now and the dad plays basketball. He said he might go play overseas next year. But they had posted this thing on facebook where they didn't realize God's hand in their life until 2 young men showed up at their house. It was sweet. They didn't come to church this week unfortunately, she was in the hospital. It seems like every time someone starts meeting with the Missionaries they get sick haha. But we are really excited about them. Annie is doing alright, she was supposed to quit smoking Saturday and she didn't come to church which was too bad. Donna is struggling still, she is really wanting to be all in and it's so hard for her to give up her old habits and addictions which is kind of sad to see but I know she can overcome her problems If she just needs to relies on the Lord for help.
Last night we were knocking on some doors and we needed to find 1 more person to reach our goal for the week and the first door we knock on is a Puerto Rican man who played baseball over there! His English was pretty good but we taught him the restoration on his door step and he accepted our invitations and wants to learn more. We also found another Spanish lady and luckily we had and Spanish Book of Mormon in the car and she was really excited to read it and ND learn more it was a couple miracles last night it was fun.
Qs
What are your responsibilities as a District Leader?
Not much just lead the district, conduct district meeting every wednesday.
How is Elder Kimball? I know you said he moved from Russia when he was 10, but where did he live after that? What is he like? Interests? Talents? Etc?
He's a nice guy, cool, from Soda Springs, Idaho, lived on a farm. He played football, has never thrown a baseball in his life. He's super competitive in everything we do. He's been out a little less than me. He's a good teacher.
Do you need anything?
Oreos, some bathroom cleaner maybe 409, clorox bleach spray. Whatever food you feel inspired to put in haha.
Time for an Amazon Pantry reload?
List your favorites that you are out of... and also those you still have and you don't need...
