We got that. It's super cool!!! Elder Porter loves it. He says thank
you!!! I'll probably pick up a ukelele (30-40 dollars) in my next area,
once there's a town large enough to actually have a music shop haha. I'll
probably pick up a chord sheet then too, and if the shop doesn't have one,
I'll ask you for one :) don't send a second one yet though haha.
Also JCPenney's is closing here, so we're going to take a look at
their sales on ties. Depending on the deals, I may get a few.

Tender mercy.....if it had to happen it happened at the best time. After

It's Callie's birthday today I think and their anniversary on the
20th or the other way around.
We are doing OK here.

It is not as bad as the first time but he will have to take some time off

get them up and off to school.

Hello Everyone!
This week we set a goal to place 50 Books Of Mormon. We only
got to 26, but we knocked over 250 doors! That's got to count for
something. :) By the way, we did 117 of those in one day. It sounds like
that's not a lot, but trust me, that took 7 hours of knocking doors that
one day.
On Tuesday, we visited this older couple who mentioned that
they were lonely. I got to mow their lawn on their riding mower! Super fun
to drive haha. I love driving random things. Then they brought us inside,
and apparently he used to build sandrails, using parts from old Bugs. Also,
he can fabricate a part for anything, including cars. He can build an
engine, that works, from scratch. (#Respect) He also has always been into
woodworking, and makes pens out of wood, and plastic. He showed us all of
them, and was like, "Take your pick! :)" So we did. I'll attach a picture
of mine below. Also, they told us to come make our own sometime on a P-Day.
I'm stoked to do that. We definitely are going to. I'm going to make mine a
fountain pen, so then I'll have four fountain pens to choose from each
night when I write in my journal. :)
On Wednesday, we had dinner at a member's house. They piled so
much food onto our plates. So much. (#SOMUCH haha). I can't believe I ate
all of it. My companion was in shock XD. However, it came to pass that on
Saturday, we discovered that the sheer volume of food we ate on Wednesday
did not compare (at all) to the sheer mountain of food placed before us
that evening. They made an entire pan (an entire pan), for each person.
Literally, they had all the ingredients in massive bowls, then placed them
all together to fill the pan (a big pan), then put it on one plate (a
massive plate), then served the plate to us, individually. An amount to
feed a family of four was placed on our plates. And I ate all of it. :)
Then they said "Do you want more?" It tasted so good, I actually kind of
did. It's awesome that it did taste super good, and that it was my
favorite, pasta. I'm still burning off those calories haha. I've been
eating so little since then lol, I'm almost back down to normal Elder
Westlake size.
I definitely second what a friend of mine (and his twin
brother) said in their weekly emails today. Don't worry about home, the
instant you get set apart those things will leave you, and life outside of
your mission doesn't seem real or like it even is a real thing. #Justdoit
Also another quote from my ward mission leader: "Have eternal
perspective with the seeds you are planting."
We helped two families move within the same town on Saturday.
That was fun, being in P-Day clothes (read: normal clothes) in public.
Super refreshing haha.
Also, on Sunday, we had homemade ice cream at a member's house.
That was really nice, because my family did that a lot back home. It tasted
almost the same, and had the same texture. Every single bite was like the
scene in Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite of Remi's dish, and
has that flashback to when he was a kid, back at home, eating the same
dish. I enjoyed (really enjoyed) that.
We had our investigator come to church on Sunday! Also, he
asked us who's in charge of the addiction recovery program. We really think
he's going to get baptized. He really wants to repent and have God in his
life. We're super stoked for him.
Also, this ward is super amazing. Each week there's like 3
separate investigators (and their families) that come, even though we
haven't even met them yet. We're working on meeting them during the week.
They all seem really cool.
Also, I don't remember if I mentioned, we baptized someone the
13th. Not really our baptism, but the sister missionaries before us. That
was super cool. She's definitely solid in the church, and reminds me a ton
of Deanna McHardy back home.
The local JcPenney's is closing, so we're going to go check out
what sales they have on ties soon :) :) :) I'm super stoked.
And, my companion's best friend from back home just got called
to this mission. We'll be the Mesa boys haha :)
To all my friends back home that are heading to the mission
field soon, you're going to love it! I definitely agree with the quote I
shared above. Once you're set apart, you feel different. Life outside the
mission really doesn't feel like it exists.
Keep crushing it everyone! Love y'all!
I didn't really take any pictures this week!
1: A cool saying that's above our John
2: Fun with my nametag :) Other missionaries totally try it :)
3: My pen from the member!
4: I hadn't taken a picture of myself this week, so I just did
right now haha
