Whats up Happy late Thanksgiving guys!! I definitely had a crazy Thanksgiving! Me and my roommates did a competition to see who could gain the most weight from Thanksgiving and the loser had to do the dishes and we had to meals back-to-back. It was absolutely awful and I've never eaten more food and never wanted to die more. I gained 10 pounds on the dot and I ended up winning. Right after I weighed myself, I sprinted to the bathroom and I was throwing up all night. It was an awful night, but at least I didn't have to do the dishes. I had another bike accident this week which was pretty brutal. I was riding my bike the other day and literally out of nowhere, my back tire just fell off. I was just sitting on the bike and all of a sudden I just fly backwards off the bike right onto my bike and I was so confused and then I saw my back tire just rolling away. I'm pretty sure some set me up cause there's no way it just fell of like that. It scuffed up the back of my shirt re...

Hey guys how's it goin!! The other day I was riding my bike and I was movin quick and I accidentally passed the turn so I slammed brakes and it was my front brakes and my bike stopped and the momentum took it forward and I took flight for a second. I did a complete front flip off the bike and rammed my knee cap into the handle bar sooo hard and it hurt like freaking crazy. I literally almost stuck the landing after the full front flip but I slipped and back flopped on the road. I admitted defeat and layed on the road for a solid fifteen seconds just holding back tears while laying on the loose gravel which was piercing my back. I wanted to cuss in the moment but fought back the demons and made it through. For the next few days, when we prayed, I could only kneel on my left knee cap cause my right one was so swollen it hurt like crazy.  I also had the coolest moment of my whole mission on Saturday. Me and my comp were about to go home and it was dark outside and I saw a kid playing ...

Hey guys how's it goin!!! I'm lovin it here in Arizona and I'm having so much fun! Not too much happened this week so this will definitely be shorter than last weeks.  So I finally have started to learn how to do laundry which is super nice! I have accidentally put it in the dryer first before the washer cause I got them mixed up and the dryer was making some weird noises. I still have to have my comp show me how to do it but I'll get there and its gonna be so cool when I can do it by myself.  A few days ago I was riding my bike down the road and a branch was hanging over the sidewalk right above my head so I decided to reach up and grab the branch while I rode past it and try to yank it and tear the branch down. I didn't know that apparently literally every bush or branch in Arizona has thorns on it and when I yanked it, this massive thorn literally went right into my hand and it was massive. I was driving past a bunch of cars waiting at a red light so I had to hol...

        Hey guys I'm here in Phoenix, Arizona and I just finished my first week!! Sorry this will be a long email cause so much happened this week! Since my last email, I finished MTC and flew to Arizona and i's been so wild and soooo much fun I swear I'm not kidding!! So I finished MTC and spent Halloween there which actually was really lame because we just had to pack all day and we didn't even realize it was Halloween until we saw little kids trick or treating in the neighborhood which was so cute. But my roommates helped me carve a pumpkin which was sooo fun! And a couple days before I left, a huge group of missionaries from the building knocked on my door and asked me to eat this super spicy hot sauce cause they know I'll do anything if I'm dared to do it and I do not react well with spice AT ALL! So obviously I did it and it was a bottom 5 decision of my entire life. They gave me four times more than everyone else and I nearly called 911 cause I thought I ...
