I Think I Might Be Turning 19 Maybe I Don't Know

We are back again with yet another sick week. I am loving the mission and can't express how greatful I am to my heavenly father for all he's given me.

I guess my birthdays tomorrow. I'm not really sure mission brain is kinda cooking me on holidays. There's absolutely no way I've been out for 2 months.

Anyway on to the important stuff. This week was so good. We found so many cool people. It's so much fun. We teach like 15 Haitians. So I may need to learn some Haitian. We somehow got 16 of our friends to church and every single one needed a ride. That was so hectic trying to find them all rides. Luckily the members here are awesome.

We had my first transfers. Sad to see some friends leave but that's how it be I guess. Got some cool people that came in as well. Luckily me and my comp didn't have any change. Next transfers going to be crazy tho. Luckily that's in 6 weeks so don't got to think about that.

Okay here's the most insane story that you've all been waiting for. We have been meeting with a homeless friend for a couple weeks now. Every time we meet we go to this Mcdonalds. We pull up at the time we set and he's not there. We call him and he said he'd be there in 3 minutes. So we go sit down. About 3 minutes later he walks in and sits down. Then hits us with ya just got hit by that car on the road right there. I know whhhhaaattt. We are like shellshocked. We just let him calm down for a couple minutes. Then we ask if he needs to go to the hospital. He said he can't. Then we see a cop call and an ambulance pull up to the spot he said he got hit. He said some chose words and then hit us with I can't let them find me I have a warrent out for my arrest. And you guys thought this couldn't get any crazier. Like what the heck. We say a prayer with him and then he goes alright I got to get out of here before they find me. So we just walk out of the McDonald's hop in our car and leave. Like I don't even know. Just wild.

Anyway spiritual thought
Luke 2 1-14
Im sure a lot of you realize this is the Christmas story. Christmas has a whole new meaning on a mission. I am constantly thinking about my Savior and there is no better time of the year to do so. I challenge you guys to think more about the true meaning of Christmas this year. Show your light to others. Act more Christ like.

That's all for this week. Tune in next week for a epic Christmas episode it'll be fun.

Welcome back to another epic week in the NOM. This week starts with throwing a couch off a balcony. Let's get into it.  We finished closing the old apartment, so we had to get everything out of it.... Including the couch. We are on the second floor, and I was not about to carry that downstairs so.... We just threw it off the balcony. There's a vid in my Google photos so check it out.  Had a fire exchange with Martino who is a brand new greenie. Was pretty sick and had a lot of fun.  Got 12 people to church this week. We were told by our Mission President to invite everyone we see to church, so I guess it works. He might know a thing or two maybe. Also got the FLDS broda there. So lit. My momma had her birthday so give her a little late happy birthday to her. Also did something that would make her proud prolly. We ate some Ethiopian food and guess what, it was mainly eggs.  For those of you who don't know, I absolutely hate eggs. But I thuged it out and it was pretty ...

Maybe The Weirdest Week Of My Life.....But Also Two Baptisms?????

Wow I don't even know how to start this. We left Tuesday morning for Omaha. We meet a very enthusiastic convert. I don't even know how to describe her but just wow she was kinda a lot. But she was super awesome and helped us get to the airport. Then we met a very anti lady who I'm not sure was fully there. She was calling Joseph Smith the devil and that were all going to Hell. That was fun.  Flight went great and the sunset in Omaha as we were landing was incredible. Had the first good meal since I had my last meal cooked by my mom. MTC food sucks. Then we found out where we're going to be serving and I'm serving in the Falls Park area in Sioux Falls. Like 30 people came up to me and told me how lucky I am. Apparently it's the best area in the mission. Pretty crazy I guess.  We had a 3 hour drive to get out here. Then I met my trainer Elder Ruddell. He's pretty sick. Very good trainer. Went straight to finding and that was crazy. Still getting used to that. ...
