Hello everyone!
Well it’s been another couple weeks
since I’ve written, so I bet you are all on pins and needles, eagerly
awaiting this letter. I hope it finds you well, and you are enjoying
your President days day! I unfortunately can’t poke fun and mention how
you guys are back to the grind of your regular work week while I’m on my
pday, looks like today we’re even, just keep that in mind for next
week. ;)
Things have been so crazy this week, I
don’t know what’s going on but everyone is dying out here. Everyone is
falling apart, breaking their hip or foot, or having some kind of other
bodily injury that require us to give them a blessing. We’re running out
of consecrated oil here people ! No lie me and my companion have
probably given at least 15 blessings this week. That’s a record for my
mission. I’ve visited the hospital so many times, and even sisters in my
district have been asking for blessings.
Something
that’s funny to me about missionary work, is either there is nothing
going on and you’re trying to be productive, or there is literally not
enough time in the day to get everything done. It seems like people only
ask for help on the days you are super busy, and yet you still find
time somehow to schedule them in too. The other day we were waiting for
this guy to show up for a lesson (it ended taking up a looong time) I
just opened up area book and started calling people and we had some
lessons over the phone while we waited, and set up return appoints, we
didn’t have anything planned for that day, but believe me the work found
us. Sometimes it’s hard when you’re looking at your schedule and not
knowing how in the world you’re going to get everything to fit. So
stressful, but It’s a good problem to have, I wish it happened more
often honestly.
We’ve been down to East L.A a
lot this week, and maaaan if my mission has taught me anything it’s what
I want and what I don’t. I’ve been in rich areas for a long time in my
mission and being in the ghettoes really makes me grateful for
everything that I have, I’ve had a good life. Everyone out here seems to
have such hard life situations, not to mentions some of these people
are spending so much money just to live in the ghetto, I don’t get it.
Glad I’m not going to be living in L.A when I go home, haha. What a
dirty dirty overpopulated place, haha.
Anyways
things have been going really well! I’ve actually really enjoyed being
district leader because of the interaction it gives me with other
missionaries, my whole mission I always said I never wanted to be a
district leader, but hey, I’m actually enjoying it, it’s pretty fun. Not
to mention the district leader can go into any of the areas that are in
the district, my district covers the whole zone, so it’s almost like I
have the ability of a zone leader to go where I want without question,
let’s just say Pasadena is pretty cool for meal appointments. ;) have a
good week! Love you guys! Dot be afraid to send me nice things, like
skinny floral ties, I love nice things!
Have an excellent week!
