Hey family!
Big Big news! It was just announced That at our next zone conference we will be receiving smart phones. This is a mission wide thing. And We are super excited for it. We have been using a flip phone and it's been pretty hard to communicate with anyone. Today We are moving one of our investigators to Michigan and they have so much stuff. We might be here all day. Actually We got them moved out. It was quite an ordeal but I have faith they will be baptised in Michigan. I can't wait to hear about it!
This week went by pretty fast as well. I know I say that a lot but having p day on Wednesdays just makes the weeks fly by. Bridger just hit his 5 month mark and I just hit my 3 month mark today so I'm pumped about that. We Have been doing a crazy amount of tracting. Knocking doors for more than 4 hours a day sometimes. That get kinda exhausting but me and Elder Taylor just keep working hard. We have a few new people who we are teaching who could really end up getting baptised. But if there is one thing I've learned going door to door in Tennessee is that everyone knows Jesus, and everyone is related to a preacher. Either your daddy is a preacher. Or you are. Or your grandfather was. It's kinda crazy. So consecutively since I've been here I've had Mexican food every week from member family's. I'm super grateful but I'm kinda confused at where this wonderful southern food is supposed to be. I've been able to use my bike a lot more recently as well, which makes me super happy. But the weather is just nuts. One day it's 66 and sunny and feels amazing, and the next day it is 32 and freezing with a wind chill. The saying is if you don't like the weather wait ten mins.
We have been doing a lot of tracting in the hood. And we have almost been destroyed by a pit bull. One literally almost broke though the owners legs and ate us. The owner was blocking it. Besides that the only other super scary dogs are German Shepards. When those come at you, you find the nearest tree and climb as high as you can.
I have two more weeks of training and the I'll probably be on my own in a new area. Hopefully they keep me and Elder Taylor together cause he is a great missionary. Nothing too fun happened this week. Just a zone conference. And that was a blast.
That's about it for me this week.
