I've officially been
in Texas 2 weeks! feels like I've been here my whole life. haha did I even have
a past? I'm not too sure.
So this week was
relatively eventful. Last monday or Tuesday our AC went out. Newsflash. It's
August and I'm in Texas. Let's just say that it was a character-building
experience. haha. Monday night was miserable, Tuesday night we had exchanges so
I wasn't there (I felt so bad for the sister who had to sleep in our apartment
for a night), and then Wednesday and Thursday we got to
sleep in a spare apartment in our complex until they finally fixed it Friday.
Our apartment was probably like 90+ degrees and super humid. at night it was
cooler outside. hahaha. oh man... good times... On the bright side, I now have
a greater appreciation for functioning air conditioners! so that's good!
So as I mentioned, we
had exchanges this week. I went with a Sister who only has 3 weeks left in the
mission field. She taught me a lot. It was awesome. She helped me a lot with
things my companion can't explain to me because of our double-sided language
barrier. Definitely a good thing.
So right now
we're teaching a man named Jeremiah. He's got a good heart, but I'm not sure he
understands the importance of everything. We recently taught him about the word
of wisdom (cause he smokes a lot) and he was all for it, and then every time we
come back and visit he's smoking......... (awkward.) His memory is messed up
from a past accident, so he tells us a different number of cigarettes he's
smoked every time we ask.. so....... that's a tricky one. Hopefully we get
through to him though cause he really is a good guy.
We tried real hard to
find new investigators this week. One day, we rode our bikes for probably six
hours total. All I'm gonna say is that you know you've been working hard and
it's hot outside when you have sweat marks on your skirt. hahaha. so gross. but
it's worth it cause I'm trying to save souls over here.
Yesterday I gave a
20-minute talk about the Sabbath Day. in the SPANISH BRANCH. that was wild. I
felt bad for the members. hahahaa.
My companion and I are
still trying to work out the whole communication thing. Patience is a virtue
guys. haha. I love her, don't get me wrong. It's just a struggle to understand
her most of the time. but it's cool cause we help each other with our second
languages a lot. so that's handy.
Anyway, I'll send some
pictures next week once I have a camera. Love you all lots!
