1. This week was super crazy I only spent 3 days with my actual companion! It was a week full of tradeoff but thats alright I love tradeoffs!
2. Elder Young tradeoff! It was a stress relief for him! Last week he was made a spanish elder and he just barely finished being trained as an english missionary! So he has been going crazy! But he is awesome though! He loves rugby!!! And we talked about everything! He's like my twin, its super weird! But it was a super fun tradeoff and a super good teaching opportunity!
3. Funny story: as we dropped Elder Young off he drove away with our phone! Not cool! He serves in Pasagoula, Mississippi so we drove to catch up to him! All the way to Pascagoula, Mississiippi! Turns out they realized it and went to our home in Alabama!! haha It just complicates it even more since we had to meet the aps in Crestview, Flordia! So it was a three state and 300 mile day so that makes life enjoyable I guess! Lots of car sitting but we got our phone!
4. Tradeoff one went straight into tradeoff two! I was with Elder Sorenson, an assistant to the president and Elder Riddle, a Mobile north zone leader! And that was a super fun few days! So we worked both in Mobile and in Fairhope so it ended up being a 36 hour exchange! So it took forever!
5. We found a new investigator, Shirly while tracting on an exchange! She knows Sam King, one of our super solid investigators! It was super cool as soon as we started talking about Sam she was super excited she opened up took a Book of Mormon and set up and appointment! Just a great example of being an example from Sam who isn't even a member yet!
6. The next day of our tradeoff we went to mobile! Mobile is an odd city. It looks like it was a super cool city a long time ago... it;s not any more, it's super sketchy! But we survived our Mobile stretch! Oh and the traffic is horrible! Worse than LA for real!
-----7. I got sick again! I think I'm the sickest missionary in the world! I always get a cold! But don't worry mom, I'm up and going again!
8. This was a sad week. I said bye to probably one of the best friends I have made my whole mission. Elder Jakeb Bochenek. He is going home on Wednesday and since we were his zone leaders we got to drive him out to the half way spot between here and Tallahassee. I was super grateful I got to be one one to drive him! But i learned so much from him and I know I still have lots of lessons to learn from him. I'm excited since he said I can live in his basement and marry his sister!
9. Virtue! Great quote " Virtue or even the attempt of virtue brings light into our life; indulgence brings fog" I really liked that by CS Lewis!
10. Have a great week I love you all!
