Hello family and friends
I have had a strange week. The first story happened right after my emails from last week....
We were playing Basketball in the stake centers gym with the other missionaries. It was fun and we were having a good time. Well, one person threw the ball way high, and I decided to go catch it. What ended up happening is my elbow connected with one of the Sister missionaries heads in the process. And then she ran to the restroom and threw up. And then she passed out. And then we called an ambulance. The good news is she's perfectly fine. She had a ct scan and she has 0 brain damage. I felt so bad though. It was a rough day.
The next day the President called me and told me that everything was fine and that I was fine, and all was well. It was a strange day. Since then, we had to go to some doctors appointments for my companion involving some weird stomach issues he's been having for a while. This doctors office was in Vegas itself not too far from the strip. I had a guy ask us if we were Mormons. We said yes. And then he asked for a urine sample (test)......because he wasn't clean.
Sooo then after that we went on with our week. One day we had a church tour set up and roughly 6 lessons planned in that day, and literally everything got cancelled. Right after, we were biking from a ward correlation meeting (with the ward mission leader) and my bike tire was flat. So we have to pick up another tire sometime today...its torn on the seam unfortunately beyond repair.
In between all of this we had the trunk or treats for the wards we work in. We got sent home with 30 corn-dogs....which is too much corn-dogs. We had one lesson yesterday with an investigator who's getting dunked on the 11 of November. He's awesome. His faith has skyrocketed since he's started going to church and reading and praying and stuff. This week had a lot going on. Sorry for not sending more pictures. There isn't much to send honestly. I'll find one or two from the trunk or treats and send them later today.
All that being said, we have managed to keep our spirits up. Its' kinda funny that all this nonsense happens, but one little text from an investigator saying how thankful they are for us can make it all better. The Lord works through people. This is definitely true.
Today is the end of Transfer number 1. Elder Bybee and I are sticking around Henderson for the next 6 weeks, so no moving for us.
OH! By the way! Our mission is getting Facebook! That's kinda neat. It's strange...using Facebook for missionary work. I have to get it again. It will be an adjustment. But this area needs it. We keep having people yell at us for being in apartment complexes, even though we aren't soliciting (we don't tract. We go to appointments already set up). It can be frustrating but these people are very private. Most of the neighbors don't even know who lives around them, unless they are members.
So Facebook will open up those doors that people will actually open. It'll be cool because I can actually use it the whole mission and even when I come home, so I could potentially stay connected with investigators even afterwards. So that's something new.
On Halloween, we have to be indoors by 6 unless we have lessons. That's about it. So many members want to feed us on Thanksgiving. Some have been actually fighting over it apparently. We might have multiple meals on Thanksgiving. That'll be a nice birthday present!
That's about it. The work has been slow this past week because of a million other things that have come up. However, I have a good feeling about this coming transfer. We have some awesome investigators set up who are on their way...And chances are high that I will be here for them.
Thanks for everything! Live Long and Conquer. God Speed.
