Week 55

Another week, another area. If this rate of new companions keeps up, I'll end up having somewhere around 17 companions by the end of my mission! MONDAY was my last P-day of the transfer, so a lot of missionaries got together really early to play basketball and board games. It was a pretty good time, and I was able to say goodbye to a bunch of people. When we went shopping, we ended up running into a ton of members, which was pretty funny because of how back-to-back it was. TUESDAY was a pretty normal day for finding where we just gave it our all before I got transferred. A lot of downtime that day was just spent packing. WEDNESDAY was the actual transfer day, so we headed over to the transfer site to get everything switched around. I said hi to a bunch of missionaries I knew and hello to a bunch of new ones before I left. We spent almost all day just driving out there to get our new companions, and then when I met Elder Watson, my new companion, we had to spend another 2 hours to g...

Week 73

Don't worry, I didn't miss a week; we just had our p-day moved to Christmas Eve! This email will be slightly longer, but next week's will be a bit shorter. MONDAY we made cookies with our district before everyone got together for p-day. We didn't have a mixer, so they just made me use my hand to mix the dough. TUESDAY we had a couple of really good lessons with some of the people we met. I also had a meeting with all the other social media trainers in the mission to help get them prepared for the new transfer. WEDNESDAY nothing went as we planned. We had everything set up a certain way that morning during daily planning, and by the end of the day, our schedule was completely different! THURSDAY I took a bit of time getting some presents and letters ready for my last and current mission presidents. FRIDAY we woke up with no hot water in the apartment, which really sucked when we had to get showered! This last transfer had mixed up the zone a bunch, so I had a good time g...

Week 74

Merry CHRISTmas, everyone! I hope y’all all had a great week and that it was a happy time for everyone. Because last week's email was a bit weird, this one is too. It'll just go from Tuesday to Sunday, but I've managed to find some stuff to talk about. TUESDAY: President Willis' kids were in town for the holidays and wanted to play pickleball, so we went to the church and played with them and some other missionaries. And as you'd expect of a very recent return missionary and a guy who lives in Utah, they were pretty good. After all that fun, we went up to Las Cruces for a combined Christmas party with all the missionaries on the west side of El Paso, all the missionaries in Las Cruces, and all the missionaries from Silver City. It was a ton of fun, with us going caroling at rest homes, having a talent show, dinner, some party games, and even a devotional reading of the Christmas story. It was a ton of fun, and I really enjoyed meeting a lot of the missionaries who I...
