Well hello, hello, How are y'all? This week was pretty nice, the weather was nice and rainy. I love the rainy weather, that might change once I experience a severe storm. This week is going to cook us alive, gonna hit 99°. That plus humidity, it's gonna be a sauna up in here. I'm excited for the experience none the less

    We haven't had too many service opportunities since I got here but this week we had some solid service. A lot of people pay to have people cut up trees, logs, and branches cuz trees often fall down and get in the way. Well after everything was cut up they just left a huge pile of wood. So that's where we come in, we helped them move a ton of wood from their backyard to the front yard on the curb where the city comes to pick it up. Now that I think about it, that's probably one of the reasons why this city looks trashed. People treat the curb like a dump, well because it is, the city comes and gets it eventually so I guess it's aight. Service is really fun though. I enjoy helping others, the people we serve enjoy it too haha, I mean more hands make less work.

  We went on exchanges this week and my comp I was with is a missionary from Honduras! He spoke very little English so communication wasn't really there. I used Google translate and learned some Spanish! It was pretty fun, we had some lessons but since he speaks mainly Spanish I did all the talking. It was really cool and powerful to hear his testimony in English though. But leading out the area and doing pretty much all the talking for 24 hrs gave me comfort, cuz I did it and it wasn't too bad so now I know I can do it. Everyday is a learning experience, I've seen so much growth, I'm building so many relationships including mine with God. It's been so wonderful, I just need to stay diligent and keep an open mind. 

   We met some really awesome people this week. Not too many new people but it was just fun and spirit felt with all the interactions we had. I absolutely loved talking to people this week. 

   I know I already mentioned heat but as I'm typing this it was 97° but it feels like was 116°! Ima need to drink lots of water. 

   That's the most of this week, I'm doing fantastic and can't wait to see the comparison towards the end of my mission. I hope y'all are doing well and enjoying life, day by day.

This week...

No Sè 

I hope that's the right e. But it means I don't know. I heard that a lot lately haha. 

Hey y'all don't forget to smile! 

Until next time 
BYE!!

Attack of the dogs   Hey, Hey, it's the start of another beautiful week. More life experiences await, and stories to tell. It's so cool to gain knowledge and learn each and everyday. And no it's not because of the mission that I'm learning so much, at the end of the day it's up to you to decide if you want learn, you have to make the choice to listen and seek. Life has been so much more enjoyable when I let God prevail, trust in Him, and live His Gospel. By doing those things, no matter what happens to me in this life... I know for a fact where I'm going to end up. Knowing that allows me to have more confidence in my actions. I know I've been out serving for like 2 months but it's changed my mindset, I know the importance of this work. It's just up to time/experience to shape me, which I will have plenty of...   Anyway thought over, don't let the title of the email worry you, I'm perfectly fine, my companion on the other hand... just kidding....

Thrown for a loop Helloooo! It's another Monday, a hype day and another fantastic start to yet another week. This week has honestly been a bit of a struggle but exciting none the less.   I've run into some bike problems, nothing too big just some flats. The main issue was... when we fixed up the tire I went to ride it to an appointment, it worked just as it should. When we got ready to ride back I check my tires and it's flat again. I have no clue how it happened but the brand new tube lasted about 10 minutes haha. I never got the chance to check the tube for holes because my tire was flat and we were a 30 minute walk away from our apartment. I had a hand pump on me so we biked, stopped to pump, biked, stopped to pump. But as I was riding, I was about to get off and pump it up again, then it popped... yeah my flat tire popped. I saw white dust come out, from that point it held no air. I later found out the part where the valve attaches to the tube tore open. We had to wait ...

 Jeez Louise, Humidity... Wahooooo! Another week on the grind, having fun, learning, improving, and serving the Lord. Sounds like a pretty dope week to me To start things off, we got a new bishop, which is quite sad. We had Bishop Singleton for almost 8 years. I really wonder how it'll affect the ward. We went from an all black bishopric to an all white one, which obviously doesn't matter to me, unfortunately that image paints a different picture in others heads. It was nice seeing black people up there every week, especially for our friends we invite to church. Just gives a different environment. Speaking of race a lot of people in our ward like to see a white and a black (I'm mixed but you get the picture... Hopefully haha) in a companionship, they honestly think it's better... because... a lot of people will not answer/harshly judge if 2 white people show up, and the same for 2 black people. We got one of both... I could go on and on but the point is people judge som...
