Week #4 - Ooooo baby, it's Texas!!

HEYOOO! 

Sooooo this has been a pretty awesome week! It started off with me getting to meet my new companion/trainer Elder Wood and he is pretty cool. He was in band so we have a couple of things in common. 

But, on my first real day out, I got to meet a real cool convert named Curtis and he is THE man. He took us to dinner and it was awesome. He also bought us matching ties to wear on Sunday, so that was way cool. But yeah, we've seen him every day so far in different parts of town haha. 

We had some way cool experiences too.   In one day, in one hour, we got 3 new investigators, so that was really cool.  It's crazy to see the people we teach change as the spirit teaches them. It's way cool. 

I met a member named Brother Flores and he's real cool too. He fed us twice this last week. He is always looking for ways to help us out, so that's cool. 

We have been biking a lot, but it's all good!  We sometimes ride on the highway and that is where I come up with some good songs. It takes about 25 minutes to bike across the whole area so that can be tiresome, but it's getting better and I'm seeing the small miracles in my life. I have been getting really good at judging when a hill is coming and have been able to shift gears like a pro. 😎 

I got to meet the ward mission leader guy and his name is Brother Richardson. He's a cool guy who cares a lot about getting the less actives back in the ward. So yeah he has a lot of great ideas. 

But on Sunday I was introduced to the ward and that was cool. (Oh by the way, people here pronounce Humble like 'umble) The Humble Ward is awesome. They are way small too.  I guess I am just used to AZ wards haha. There was barely anyone in the pews. But it's all good, we have about 150 less actives to reactivate. So we'll fill the ward right back up 😎😎😎.   Elder Wood and I got to teach the 12-13 year olds about eternal families and marriage so that was cool. Then we sat next to Curtis for priesthood meeting and he gave us some candy so that was sweet 😉. 

Buuuut yeah today has been goood. P-day is always good. I've been reading the Book of Mormon in depth and it's been real cool. 

Oh and all y'all in Arizona, if you run into an Elder Summerhays, Crestani, Kirk, or Brandley, you gotta befriend them right away cuz they are some cool fellas. (We were all at the MTC together and they are in the Arizona Gilbert Mission now.)

Oooo we met this guy named Master Gregory and he is a real character. He is a musician for his Baptist church and he is chill and a lil crazy but good overall. 

Buuuut yeah besides all that, Texas is real good and the sweat is better. I am learning a lot and can't wait for what every new day has in store for me! 

Y'all rock,
