MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!! My first Christmas as a missionary is over. It's definitely different and has it's pros and cons but it was great to be able to focus on Jesus Christ and serving others. "Nothin else in the world that I could want." I've started doing this thing where I take a freezing cold shower every morning so that no matter how bad the rest of the day is, and no matter what happens, nothing will be worse than the freezing cold shower. This week our kitchen flooded twice because our washing machine us broken I guess. I got out of my freezing shower and my roommate goes, "hey I thing the washing machine's leaking." And I walk in the kitchen and there's an inch of water on the floor lol. We cleaned it up with towels and the repairman came over and said he fixed the washing machine, but the next morning, the same thing happened. We got innovative and made our own shop-vac to vacuum all the water with a garbage can, a plastic bag, and a vac...

WHATS UP GUYS ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!! I'm so excited for Christmas but it doesn't even feel like Christmas cause it's still sunny everyday and I keep forgetting its literally December. I do wish I was home for Christmas at times but it's ok it'll be super sick in the field. Not too much happened this week so there's not too much to talk about. Also, I need some good general conference talks to listen to right now so PLEASE send me talks to listen to and I would love that.  We had transfers this week so I have a new trainer and I think we're still just getting used to each other cause it hasn't been great yet lol. He's not very nice at all but I think it'll just take some time I hope.  I got a funny story that happened last week. My old comp and I were at a dinner with a single mom and her kids and my comp asked the mom what she can do during the Christmas season to serve others, and she said, "I think I'll bring some cookies over to my ne...

Hey guys Merry early Christmas!! I can't believe it's almost Christmas already, times flying by right now! The other day, I was riding my bike and had like my eighth bike crash so far. My comp decided to take a shortcut in an apartment complex and we were riding through the grass and it was soaking wet and we were riding over some roots popped out of the ground and I hit one at an angle and my tire slid along the wet root and my bike slid out from under me and I like went hardcour face first into the grass and literally slid across the wet grass on my face like three feet and my body landed on my bike hard enough to snap my whole chain off. I literally had a mouth full of mud and grass and was putting my chain back on while picking grass out of my teeth and spitting out mud in the dark because my comp didn't see that I had fallen. God really tested my patience in that moment but it's funny now haha. It should be good though cause my Uncle Steven sent me some training wh...
