Hello beautiful people,
I hope you all are well, because I am doing pretty good. This week has flown by and it has been pretty awesome. The unfortunate part though is that about half of the people we are teaching have just stopped responding, so that makes it kind of difficult to have lessons with them, but nonetheless we will press on.
Me and Elder Wright have been having a little too much fun sometimes, but that's not always a bad thing. During our dinner break one day this week we went into the gym of our church building and played basketball. And trust me when I tell you this it is not easy to play basketball in a shirt and tie, I know I was shocked too.
But our area recently has been struggling with finding new people to teach, so me and Elder Wright have been trying just about everything. Since COVID and everything we aren't allowed to knock on doors or talk to people on the street, so we have had to get creative. We have done everything from dropping off notes, to calling just about everyone we can, to making cookies and dropping them off at people's houses. And one question I gotta ask, if someone dropped cookies at your house would you at least text them saying thank you? Because for some reason in Arizona that's not a thing, but we love them anyways right.
So, this week we did a bunch of service, and it was pretty awesome. We like completely transformed this one lady's backyard. We filled up 12 garbage bags worth of bush trimmings, and tree branches. It took us a while but we got it looking nice. We also found some peculiar things in her backyard. One of them being about 10 or 11 vape pens just lying around, so of course I took one as a souvenir. Now I can say that I got a vape pen on my mission, now that's pretty cool.
On to a better topic, me and Elder Wright this week went through our entire member list and found which ones we have gotten into contact with and lemme tell you this list was long. It took us 5 hours of just going through names, not the most exciting but it was pretty fun. Let's just say now I am a professional list goer througher, if that is even a real thing.
That's about it for me this week, I hope you all have been well. It has been great hearing from you all. I hope you all stay safe out there.
