It’s Best to Flex With 1 Arm

Time just progressively gets shorter and shorter out here. I used to send out lanky emails every week. Now I’ve missed 2 weeks. But hey, that’s ok, not too much happened during those weeks. I think.

Ok psych, we saw a spider that was NO JOKE the size of a tennis ball. Like, take a tennis ball and the size of it’s shadow at noon day was how big the legs of that thing stretched out were.

Also some of the other missionaries here in Midwest City have a whip. Like a full blown whip. And I’m getting scary good at it. I can turn off the lights and whip popcorn bags out of the air.

Oh, then there was this time we were having dinner with this family, and their little 6 year old girl was doing cartwheels, and she asked if we could do cartwheels, and of course, I gotta flex when I can, so I was like, “Yeah.” And I did one, flawless form of course, and she knew she had been outclassed. But I don’t just destroy the competition, I obliterate it.

So then I did a one-handed cartwheel.

And I’m not trying to be pathetic and show off in comparison to a 6 year old, it was just fun to do some tricks again, and we had a good time.

But yeah, we’ve been working hard out here in MWC. We contact all the people we can, teach about the Savior, and just try to serve people. I’ve learned that it’s human nature to decline service. Like, if you ask someone if they need help, they’re gonna say no. So these days we just go and serve people before they can try to tell us they don’t need any help. It works every time.

Then we had a pretty spunky photo shoot, so I’ll attach a few of them onto this email, but I’m going to save my personal favorite for next week, so stay tuned.

SHOUTOUTS:

• Oliver: My brother’s new kid. He’s done nothing to deserve this shoutout besides simply being alive. But that’s the lifelong game we all play, keep it up lil’ homie.

I’m Still Alive

So yeah, I know that I didn’t send an email last week, but that’s ok, because I was busy having fun with other missionaries.

But we’ve been having a great time working hard out here, we’ve seen some SICK miracles, and God’s really helping us out.

As far as last week’s fun times:

• Elder Ingersoll whipped himself in the eye, so that was scary for a second, but when we found out he was ok, it became really funny.

And honestly, we didn’t have anything else really crazy happen. Actually, we got kicked out of this lady’s house, so that was fun. But we’ve honestly just been working as hard as we can, and it’s been great. Really getting help from the Lord, it’s good stuff. He’s blessing us a bunch, and I’m learning some really cool things.

Sorry nothing crazy has happened, but it’s still been a really good time.

Thanks for tuning in for the little bit that we have, but since the 18th is this week….

THE RAFFLE:

SHOUTOUTS:

• Elder Miles – He helped me with the raffle this time around, and he’s just a really cool guy. Glad I get to serve around him.

Really Really Quick

So I’m in the city in the middle of the West. Midwest City as they call it. And it’s SWEET!! There’s a lot of stuff going on here, and a bunch of people that we’re going to be teaching. We invited a guy to read the entire Book of Mormon, and he’s full blown going to do it now. It was sick.

We don’t have a lot of time today, but we’re going to be busy this transfer, so I’m excited.

Catch you guys later!
