This week was good. Not going to lie, it's sometimes hard to remember everything... so everything becomes nothing. Right now the work has been good but with lots of rejection. I think the heat really gets to people (including me). The APs said me and Elder Stone can't wear our fat ties anymore, so it's a little harder to start fun convos with people. Fun fact: we had these fat ties that were called the "belly warmers" and are as wide as a Book of Mormon.

A miracle we had is we spent all day praying to find a part-member family as we decided to do like 20 really well-planned stop-bys, and we were unsuccessful (in the part-member aspect), but found 3 less-actives who want to come back. Anyways, it's 8:45 p.m. at night and we're about to head home and a young couple walks past us, and I say hi and try to share a message and they said "maybe later." I stood there and I'm like, "I won't be here later :(". They kept walking... then paused, and turned around and said they'll give us a gander. So we taught, and the dude was from a part-member family and was super interested.

We ate Doghouse for lunch and I had a really good tri-tip sandwich. P-day today is pretty boring. The longer I've been out, the less exciting they've gotten. I do enjoy seeing the other missionaries though.

Anyways, thanks for reading these poopy emails. I love y’all and appreciate the support.

Hey Is For Horses

It's ya boy Chips Ahoy, and I wish y'all a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone's been doing well and you're finding a way this year to make Christmas centered on Jesus Christ. This week has been very good! We've had lots of service opportunities! We got to help a member paint his house as well as set up some stuff in a lash studio. This week we had a zone conference completely centered on Jesus Christ. It was really nice getting to hear people's testimonies and their favorite stories of Jesus Christ. I liked this zone conference, and personally, I'm not the biggest fan of zone conferences. I feel like it's a long time to sit. Speaking of a long time to sit, apparently, I've never realized how much I fidget when I sit, and let's just say my companion is not a big fan of that during personal study. We watched this video called "The Christ Child," which is a really good depiction of the nativity and birth of Jesus Christ. I really felt the Sp...

Free V- Bucks???

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I apologize for not sending an email last week, but here I am. These past few weeks have just been different than the rest of my mission (in a good way). I've been out for about 9 months now! I'm halfway done with a sister mission! Jkjk This Christmas season has been quite remarkable, and I can't remember a time in my life so focused on Jesus Christ, especially on His humble birth. I feel the Spirit every time I read and ponder on His beloved coming into this world. On Christmas, we actually didn't have any plans besides some that morning, so we got with other elders and went caroling for about 4 hours and saw tons and tons of members and friends. Everyone answered the door except one. It's funny because we sang the same song, "Silent Night," each time. We got Burger King too, and it was lit. We got transfer news, and I'm staying in Exeter, CA. Elder Quigley is leaving, and I'll be with Elder Kes...

That's Why He's The GOAT

Anywho, sorry if this email isn't my best work. This week was good down here in Exeter! This week was fun because we talked to lots of people! However, it's so hard for some reason to find people to teach. People will talk to us and stuff but aren't interested in anything to do with the gospel. But we've had lots of success with members and less actives. We went up to Three Rivers in the mountains to clip some goat hooves for a lady we've been teaching, and it was fun! I would grab and wrangle the goat between my legs while the lady, Ashni, clipped the hooves. It was fun until the goat got bored, looked up at you with a blank stare, and tried munching on your shirt. Later, we helped with the chickens, and I got pooped on, of course. I remember when I was younger in school, we went on a field trip to the OKC zoo and had a "zoo snooze." We stayed overnight, and it was hype! Anyways, I remember going into the bird enclosure and getting pooped on by some parro...
