This week, flew by like it was nothing. ha ha MIssions are crazy. The days seem like years. LIke seriously so long but then you look back and the week went by so fast ha ha idk its hard to explain. BUt last week was pretty good. Alot of hard work, like always , but an all around good week. We were tracting alot and doin alot of finding so it was pretty cool. ( side note: tracting door to door, you have the most rediculouse / crazy experiences ever, espesially here it seems like ha ha ) But we found alot of peoplle with alot of potential, we got in some house and taught some good lessons, so for the week as a whole we really cant complain. We met a family early in the week and they ended up comin to Church yesterday so it was pretty sweet :)
Its summer here and its been crazy, in the high 100s. Its crazy cause im used to the temperature and stuff but the humitity here absolutely destroys you ha ha. LIke i got wrecked this week. Its pretty funny, like just how steriotypical missions actually are. At6least for the mission here. LIke ME and elder Bell just walkin miles, drentched in sweat, goin door to door talking about the Gospel. Its awesome though. LIke such a blessing and privlage to be able to serve. For me, being out here in the field has given me a much more love not only for the Gospel but for people in GEneral. LIke thats the thing, the message we share literally changes lives so its nothing to be takin litely but at the same time you cant just be super bold or people will just be weirded out by you and by mormons in general. ha ha there is definetly that fine balanse. Being out here though has just helped me to see how we really are all brothers and sisters and how much the Gospell really can and does bless peoples lives. It just makes me want to share it that much more, to everyone that i can... The people here are greqt though. NAshville is a crazy place, like so many different people and cultures here. ITs awesome! We have an awesome ward that were so blessed to have, its a small ward with mostly converts. The members see the importance and need for missionary work and realy help out to do all the can for the missionaries and for the people, its been such a blessing.
Just little things out here mean so much and really just make you appreciate life and everything you have so much more. This couple Riley and Kesha have us over on Sunday nights for dinner and seriously they are awesome, Fresh newly weds and just the most down to earth poeple ever. LIke i said newly weds, they dont have much but they still feed us what they can. LIke and it means the world to us. To be able to go over there for an hour, relax a little bit and just have a good lesson and dinner, with poeple that listen and that see the big picture and why were out here and everything. ( BTW Keisha the wife wanted to call you so I gave her your number: she said shes been trying to call you all week, ha ha i know how you are with answering your phone though, espesially with numbers you dont know. Its a 615 aria code so if you can give her a call back tuesday or wendsday or if she calls you answer lol :p)
MIssions are awesome though. LIke honestly for me right now this is the best thing I could be doing with my life. Thats a fact. Its hard being out here, for me, and for you guys too, but It helps to just remember that. That this is where I need to be right now not only for the now part of my life to to learn and to grow for my future. Nashville has been great though and im hopin that we can get to go to Argentina soon :)
Thank you guys for all you do for me and for the support you guys give. LIke i said, the littlest of things on the mission mean so much so seriously all the support from you guys literally means the world to me . IM so greatful and luucky to have such amazing family, friends, and Girlfriend :) I love you guys all so much andf think and pray about you guys always. I hope you guys ahve an awsome summer and the best of luck in whatever you are doin in your life right now. Remeber who you are and everything but enjoy life and have fun with it.
