Week #45 (April 18, 2016)

Quotes/Scenes of the week:

1) Watched an old white guy in walmart just straight soapbox this
muslim lady in the middle of the store this morning, telling her all
about "THE LORD JESUS CHRIST" in the toiletries section. Welcome to
Texas.

2) My companion ordering at Peiwei: "Something with a lot of meat."

3) Our Bishop goes by "Bishop Goat" even though his real name is
Gonzalez. Why you ask? Just cuz.

4) My iPad screen is spider-web shattered.

5) Teaching a total New-Yorker how to pray (on an exchange) and he
yells to his coworker (in the best NY accent you have ever heard): "AY
Vinny - wanna come pray?!?!"

This week was jam packed.

Right after we left P-day on Tuesday, a massive hail storm swept over
the north part of our area and wrecked a bunch of stores and trailers.
We went to a less-active's house later in the week and she had
tennis-ball-sized holes in her roof (no exaggeration).

The rest of the week we hardly got to work in our area. Between
exchanges with companionships, stake president reports, and the
meeting we put together there wasn't a ton of time left for us to work
in our area, but we maximized the time we had.

My birthday was incredible. Thank you so much for the gifts and the
wishes! I managed to keep it a secret to everyone else in the mission
til Sister Taylor got up and announced it at zone meeting. Her and
President are incredible, honestly.

Other than those big events there isnt a ton to know. Our ward council
is doing great work and I am hyped for the coming weeks with them.
Here's some pics.

Love you all to Kolob and Back!
