This week has been nutso crazy! The rash is kinda the same. Itches the same. Ulcer is healing though so that’s good. Julianne is 15. Elder Taylor is the absolute bomb. I swear he came pre-trained he’s so awesome. He’s from Ketchakin Alaska. It’s this island in south east Alaska. He says that place is really touristy and lots of cruise ships pass through. Fun fact: we found out that Riches mom went on a cruise through there one time. He originally left for the MTC in August, but broke his elbow on his last week there. He went home for surgery and just barely got back out here. We are already such good friends and have so much fun together.
Tuesday was crazy. I had to wake up at 4:30 to be at the cloverleaf apartments by 6, and then I drove all the way to Baytown to drop him off at 7:30. From there I drove allllll the way up to the mission home in Kingwood to get with Elder Riches and Carter. Then we went to the Kingwood Chapel and waited till 2 for the trainer meeting. We all got together and received instructions and then he paired us off. Elder Riches is training too so that’s cool. We all loaded up in our car and I drove Riches all the way back to cloverleaf. We all ate dinner together and then went to have mutual with the youth. It was a good day!
The first full day with Elder Taylor was good. We went shopping and both spent too much money haha. I actually have been living like a king though. I’ve been eating healthy! Protein shakes every morning, chicken and veggies throughout the day, and other good stuff. Taylor thinks I’m quite the chef. We got right to work. We tried lots of people and it was good. We had a soccer game that night too which was fun.
Thursday was a little slower, just because of weekly planning. It was good and needed though. We got some really good new investigators that day too. It was a good time to find. Other than that we didn’t do much. I made us dinner though. We started praying to meet with some investigators that we haven’t been able to see in a while that night.
Friday we had district meeting. It was good, but the topic was super dry. After that we all ate lunch together. Elder Taylor and I did lots of biking Friday. The two investigators that we were praying for called us out of the blue and we were able to meet with them both and have two really good lessons with them. Carmen fed us pupusas that night too.
Saturday we started off biking and biking. Saturday’s now are called "priesthood Saturday’s" because we focus on potential priesthood holders/ reactivating less active elders. We had lots of success. We went with an investigator to this garage sell, talking to her as we went, and a guy gave me two suits.. for free! I also secured dad a souvenir so be prepared! I would send it as a birthday gift but he will have to wait till I get home! It’s cool, and he’ll be a real Texan with it. (It’s not a hat don’t worry)
Sunday was good. We had church and it went well. Nothing exciting happened though.. after church we went to eat with the Tenorios. They made us salmon, rice, veggies, and a killer salsa. It was so good. I ate too much though. After we biked a bit and found a few people. We had some good language studies too. It’s fun helping Elder Taylor and is helping me realize my Spanish is way better than what I give myself credit for.
The week was good and went by fast. Love y’all!
