Dear Everyone,
Sorry about my short letters but Im going to step up my game. So this last week has been really busy, fun, hard, and just plain ol awesome. Everyday as a missionary is awesome! Last monday i ate at this cajun cooking place.....lets just say I died and went to heaven. It was my first time eating some southern food out here becuase i mainly eat a lot of mexican food...which i love to death. I find that I cant eat anything without salsa. I need to have some spicy salsa with almost all my food. I love the spicy stuff!!! All the members laugh and are shocked but say its becuase of my mexican blood ahah. During the week I went on exchanges with one of my best friends out here, Elder Webster. He's and english speaking bike missionary so I got to go speak with some southern folk and ride a bike which i loved. The bike is way more fun than the car. I was kind of wakward at first and fell like twice...actually, almost fell, but elder webster almost got hit by a car so I guess Im ok haha. So cool story. Elder porter and I went on split with some members to teach. I went with a member named Daniel to go teach a new family we met. We go to there house and no one is there and it starts to rain really bad. So we dicide to run to another house. On the way we see the other family inside their van outside their house and go sit in it with them (they told us to get in and get away from the rain). Daniel and I sat in the car outside their house (still have no idea why they were hanging out in their car with their 5 kids....) and taught them about the Resturracion (cant spell it anymore in english). In the car their was an annoying noise the whole time and the kids were messing around, oh and outside it was raining like the second coming with lighting flashing every couple mins.....it was so coooool:)))) All I kept thinking was what Uncle Beau told me, (this is what a mission is!) I was so pumped. I felt like I had drank to much mountain dew or something. The lesson was good and they actually came to church on sunday. Oh quick note on the family: in our very first lesson with them we found out the wife was baptised in the church 13 years ago but hasnt gone to church in awhile and her husband and kids arent members...the church is true! OHHHHH so I moved appartments and have a new address. DO NOT SEND THINGS TO MY OLD ADDRESS. SEND THEM TO THE MISSION OFFICE UNTIL I REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN MY NEW ADDRESS AND SEND IT TO YALL. LOVE YOU. So really quick, I met a lady who's fiance was killed by a drunk driver the day before her wedding back in 2007...talk about the saddest thing ever. She's a musician named Paris Lewis and is really nice. I did the other day and literally went Lumber Jack -Mode for an hour and chopped down and out a tree stump. Talk about a firm foundation (oh how firm a foundation). The picture below is elder webster and I with a sticker that says "Believe in your flyness"...got to love life:). Anyways, there are so many more crazy stories I could share but dont have time so Ill tell you next week or in 2 years...they both are right around the corner. seriously, time on your mission goes by so fast it is crazy. On July 13 I'll have been out for 4 months. Just know I'm having a blast and I love you all. Thank you all so much for the letters and the prayers. Pray for Niki and her comp. There is nothing in the world I would rather be doing right now than serve the lord. Love you all! Oh, please find out where from mexico our fam is from.
