Hello everyone,
Hope you have had a fantabulous week, I have had some interesting times that's for sure. This week I have done over 30 hours of service, biked 100+ miles, and called over 50 people who just don't seem to know how to answer a phone.
To start off, we did a ton of service, we did everything from moving barn walls, to painting doorways, to lifting boxes, to mowing lawns. One service in particular was really fun, there was this lady who owns a ranch and she asked us to come over and help her. So we went over there and moved about a 10 foot high pile of mesquite brush onto a trailer. Which was pretty fun because we were taking to branches and just javelin throwing them onto the trailer, needless to say I got pretty good at it. She also had us move these barn walls that were I kid you not like 600 lbs. each. Luckily there were 6 of us there so we moved it pretty easily. But on the ranch she had just about every animal you could think of. She had dogs, turkeys, guinea hens, horses, donkeys, and cows. It smelled horrible, but it was still fun.
We had some good lessons this week but the unfortunate part was that it seemed almost every lesson was from one side of our area to the complete opposite side. It was fun to bike, but down here it is starting to warm up so it makes biking in dress pants a little uncomfortable. But on the plus side my legs are getting huge, so... it's worth it.
We had what's called the taco challenge this week. A member of our ward holds a competition for the missionaries to see who can eat the most tacos. So me and my companion of course had to try it out. We were there for about 2 1/2 hours, just eating tacos. I ate 14 tacos, which I was pretty proud of, but my companion ate 20 of them so... I've got some work to do.
We went on some more exchanges this week which was pretty fun, so I got to see how some other missionaries work. And it was great because most of them came to my area, so that means they have to bike. Let's just say it was really funny watching them try to keep up with me since I've been on a bike my whole mission.
But that's about it for this week. I love hearing from you all. Sorry if I haven't gotten back to you, life has been a little hectic, but I'm working on it. Stay safe out there.
