February 15th - Hey Y'all

 Everyone, 


This week was a long one I'm not gonna lie. It was a very spiritual and very good week but I'm fully exhausted. We had a ton of member contacts this week and we started to set them up every night to try and get some members involved in the work, as well as get to know them and build their trust. We got to teach a lesson at a member's house to a couple we're teaching and it was so cool. It was only supposed to be an hour but it ended up being 3 and we had some super intense and serious questions and concerns come up that we were able to talk through. There still coming to church and we're going back to teach them again which is incredible.

We had multiple member meals in one day we got 3 dinners and 4 desserts which was totally unplanned but man, it was the fullest I've ever been and the most I've eaten in a night my entire mission probably. It was really great. It's still cloudy and rainy but the weather is getting substantially better and I'm really hoping that I'll be able to be around for spring time cause I've heard its incredible out here. We did service a couple times this week. We helped a lady cut and pack a fallen tree from the storm. It was a lot of work but a good time. We also got to clean out and de moss a lady in our ward's roof, and she offered us some grocery money but my comp wouldn't take it, which kinda made me mad but I'm sure there's a reason he felt we shouldn't.

I'm super excited to be here even though every day is tiring and I don't always get along with my comp 😂 I miss everyone from home and I find random little things will remind me of all y'all and I miss it but know there's nothing better I could be doing right now. I hope you all have a safe week and stay healthy, I'll keep you in my prayers and hope for some fun stories next week. Also thank you to everyone who does email me it means a ton to hear from you even if it's something simple.

Love you all!!
