I really like the wizard emoji 🧙♂️
It's the first of the month! And I had contraband once again!
Tuesday
We had a super lit contact with this dude named Abel and he wants to be baptized and he seems actually promising! But there's always a down side... he only speaks spanish so we have to give him to the Horne road Elders who are over the spanish branch in Corpus.
We found this dude Alex one day and he was super lit. And he let us come back for a return appt and when we pull up we see his address and see the house... it's massive. We knock on the door all nervous because this house is bougie. Like 15 foot tall ceilings and custom architecture with granite flooring and marble counters and mahogany cupboards with gold accent. This house was top tier. He just finished building it he said so there was no furnishing but still. Epic house. But as we are talking, the spirit tells me to just testify as hard as I can and when I do the whole house starts the echo with the voice of thunder bouncing off the stone and the spirit was so strong. I have never testified harder and I know it got to him. So we invited him to pray for the truth and he'll tell us how he felt.
I saw a sick Nissan skyline R32 GTST. WHICH IS AN ACTUAL MODEL KOHL, WYATT AND ISAAC! CHUPALO!
Wednesday
Today we had zone role plays and interviews with the prez. Which was good to talk to president and see him again and just talk about everything and receive more guidance.
We started the exchange. And I got the greenie to train... so I had to train this greenie while training to pretend what I'm doing. Again I had such a spirit filled testimony with the greenie so I'm impressed with myself.
WE HAD SUCH A SICK DINNER. We ate shrimp cocktails and flat fajitas!! It was the most ebic thing I've ever eaten. I'm so happy to be here on the mission.
Thursday
Today we got the text... they've been trying to figure out plans about if we're moving houses or not (the one we live in needs to be renovated) and we finally got the text saying we need to move. Which is fine and I'm not to stressed out about. Until I finished reading it. We have 3 days to move EVERYTHING. And we cant take a full day to move because we have Appts we have to get to... this is gonna suck...
Powell and I are starting to become super good friends. Like we mess around and we joke all the time while still being consecrated missionaries. I think it's all going good. And now we are working out together which is also super sick!
We had an ice cream social for relief society which was super cool because sister Thornburg had a super cool activity to show how temples can help with family history. It was super cool and overall had a good time, and some baller ice cream.
Friday
I dont even want to talk about this but I'm just so disgusted about this, so parents do not read this with your children and be warned. There will be some graphic text so if you don't won't to be grossed out just skip to Saturday. Are you ready. Neither am I. So there is someone in our branch who has actually been excommunicated because he is a sexual predator and abused his wife. But still shows up to all of the church's events. He's just a creepy old 70 yr old dude. And as we are doing a gospel principles class he shows me a picture on his phone of a girl he's talking to (who is one hundred percent fake and just trying to scam him) it was just some younger lady with a pretty smile. But as he backs out of that photo to show me another one. There is a video of him masturbating... and I have never been so scarred in my whole life and it is burned into my brain. Why.
Let's move away from that.
We spent what little time and energy we had moving into the new apartment. It's the exact same layout just 2 buildings to the side. But both of our rooms are on the second floor so we have to carry everything down the stairs. Across the yard back up the stairs then inside.... and I'm just so drained from doing that and having no time to rest. We have been shafting our lunches and spanish study to get this done before Tuesday so don't get fined....
Saturday
God really does have a sense of humor. We were complaining about moving our house then we had to move someone elses... this lady called us and said everything had been packed and it would just be the big things and boxes. Sick, a fast and easy service project. But guess what it was. Not that. Nothing was even packed in that whole house and she didn't touch anything. So an hour job turned into three... and what was even worse was the whole house was covered in dog pee. No wonder this lady was getting evicted. The dog was an ugly rat as well. But everything just reaked and we moved her house while she sat in a chair and just pointed. I hate serving reesty people.
We got to go pressing with one of our recent converts and it was super cool. We found this lit family who wants to come to church and is looking for truth in their lives. And guess what we have. Wink wink. The truth. After that whole process we got to hold guns which is not against mission rules...
We had to do more moving today and I'm just tired.
Sunday
Church was good
"I'm tired. Help. I sleept"
We finished moving late at around 11:30 after lugging around a washer and a dryer and multiple metal tables... just let me sleep.
Monday
I slept. Thank you God for giving me Pdays. I got to just rest and have a good day and call my family for 3 and a half hours.
Resolution
Man I'm just sleepy and I've been making so many smoothies. I never want to sit next to that dude again and prayers are answered if you are willing to act. I love you all and stay safe please.
