Here's a little summary of my week.
Wednesday:
Today was good, Me and Elder Waite,
and the other Elders in our district went to help a recent convert who needed
to clean and organize stuff in his house. He's really cool to talk to and is
about 25 years old. We were there for a couple of hours and Elder Waite found
an old guitar and the person gave it to him for $5 dollars. After that we
studied for a little bit and then had dinner with a member family. After we had
a lesson with a person named Antonio who is visiting from another part of
Texas. He is really awesome and is preparing to be baptized as well. Funny
story, after when we had gotten home Elder Waite was playing with the guitar
that he got and was cleaning it and stuff and I was reading my scriptures. A
big black spider had crawled out of Elder Waite’s guitar onto his leg. When he
noticed he jumped up and yelled and the spider flew across the room. It was
super funny and we don’t know where the spider went so we ended up cleaning our
room and vacuuming. It was so funny because it was really random and scary for
a second haha.
Thursday:
Today was great we ended up studying
in the office until lunch and then we drove to the Catholic Charities food
pantry. We helped clean and organize food onto the shelves. We also had
transfers today and Elder Glade ended up leaving the area and we got a new
Elder in our area now his name is Elder Trythal. He's really cool. Later that
night we went to have our Spanish study with some other missionaries at WhataBurger.
While we were studying a person walked into the restaurant and started talking
to us. He was really strange and was probably on something. We asked him what
his name was and he responded with “My name is Bigdaddy from Cincinatti with a
catti but no catti." like super fast and talked really fast. It was really
funny and he started dancing and rapping and stuff. We ended up leaving after
that.
Friday:
Today was flipped a little. So we
started the day with getting up and going to the Catholic Charities food
pantry. We helped put food into a food truck for a couple hours and that was
great. The food was gonna be handed out to the homeless or people that need
help. After that we hurried home and grabbed our bikes and rode them across the
street to the Tower of Americas. We had lunch up there and it was really cool
because you can see everywhere because there’s no mountains and its all flat.
After lunch we went to the observation deck and had our weekly planning session
which is where we plan for the whole week. We were up there for a couple of
hours. When we finally finished we finally got to have our study time and we
usually do that in the mornings. We had dinner with a nonmember named Mark
Ortis. We had been there before and he worked at the food bank so it was fun to
see him.
Saturday:
On Saturday it rained super hard in
the afternoon out of nowhere. It was raining so hard that the streets were
flooding. Our parking garage started flooding too. When we were driving it was
all dark and lightning was flashing all around. It was really cool too but a
little scary to drive in.
Sunday:
We had ward council in the morning
today so we had to be at the church at 7. We ended up staying at the church
most of the day and taught some lessons and helped some people. It was really
good. It did feel a little slower that day but it was all good.
I’m really grateful to be here and
helping and serving other people. My testimony has grown so much. I'm reading
the Book of Mormon in Spanish and it's really fun. I hope you’re all having a
great week and I can’t wait to talk to y’all next week.
