Loving Life In Indiana - August 28,2017

The Elders play basketball as much as they can. Could this be
why Elder Taka is using crutches?

August 28,2017

So this week has been pretty fun. all the weeks kinda get merged together in my mind because we do the exact same thing every day and the weeks fly by. i feel like just yesterday i was emailing about last week. but this week was a blast. we laugh a ton here because me and my companion get along so well. so its hard to tell certain stories because i have so many that are funny. but i will just go through my week. 

     

     Monday: we emailed and played basketball and went shopping for food and yeah thats pretty much it. 

     Tuesday: we got 6 new investigators. we went tracking in an apartment complex and it was awesome. we met some really cool people. we met a future NFL player, he plays arena football now. his name is Max Davis. so look out for him. 

     Wednesday: we dropped an investigator. haha. he just bashed with us and he tried telling us that we didnt believe in the doctrine and covenants. but our church literally wrote that book, so thats weird. but yeah he said he is trying to save us and that he is already perfect. so we literally just started breaking out laughing in the middle of the lesson and said sorry we arent going to come back. haha. good times

      Thursday: we had specialized training and that was fun because all of the new guys were there so i got to see all my mtc buds. and my old companion. we talk to each other every now and then. 

      Friday:i went on exchanges with elder rhinehart and we biked sooo far. i thought i was going to die. and then we rode to walmart after we got home and that was like another mile. and right when i get to walmart i hear air leaking out of my tire. and i guess i ran over some glass so my tire had a hole in it and it went flat. but luckily walmart has everything and i bought the stuff to fix the tire and everything was all good and we made it back home safe and sound.  

      Satruday: this was probably the most fun day i have had out here on the mission. and thats because there was a huge car show going on like 1 minute away from our apartment. so we got to volunteer in it. and we had like VIP access and we drove around golf carts and it was awesome. but there was 500 cars there. everything from like the first cars ever made to hot rods to regular cars to super cars. it was so sick. so i have alot of pictures of cars for this week. we got to sit in the cars and take pictures. and we passed out so many cards while we were there to people. and alot of the car owners live in Carmel (my city) because everyone is fetching rich here. so they said we could come over and check out all of there cars and maybe go on drives and drive them (dont tell president). haha. but yes Saturday was sooo awesome. 

       Sunday: CHEAT DAY!!!!! so alot of you guys dont know this but since i have been out. i havent eaten sugar. my companion (elder allred) is super big into lifting weights and being healthy. so i have joined him in doing so. so i havent eaten sugar since i have been out here. so all the sugar and junk food i have gotten in my package we have saved and we went and bought more stuff too. but we ate almost all of it yesterday. it was soooooo much. i think i died... twice. but we counted up all the sugar and it was like over 1200 grams of sugar that we ate. we threw up so much that night and we still dont feel the best. haha but now we dont even want to touch sugar, let alone eat it. so i guess it works out. but my teeth hurt super bad. but church was fun and we snacked all through out church. the members thought it was funny. we are starting to get to know the members more now. and they have noticed that me and my companion are always laughing and having a good time. so they come and talk to us more and they noticed that we really get along so thats good. 

     but yeah that was my day. everyday we work out and eat food and teach people and when we arent doing those three things we are preparing our selves for the day to teach people. i love being out on the mission and having one purpose. and that is to help bring heavenly fathers kids back to him and help them come closer to Jesus Christ. i love my job. i love coming closer to Christ myself. im sorry my emails suck and they arent entertaining. just know that i am constantly having a good time out here in Indiana. i am always laughing. i am so grateful for my companion and the good memories we have made. but i love you guys. ill put a couple pictures up here but i will put the rest on my google drive of all the cars and stuff i saw. im sorry mom i keep forgetting to take pictures of the city i am in. think of downtown Gilbert and the stores and restaurants right there on the road. that is like downtown Carmel. it looks exactly the same. that is where we spend most of our time.
