| Nobody finna be obeying that |
Whats up fam!! good to hear from you all again this week! We had another sweet week down here in Port Arthur.
To start we went on exchanges with our Zone Leaders up in Beaumont! We pretty much knocked doors all day which was pretty hilarious haha! We met a lot of interesting people. I was with Elder Harmon from West Jordan Utah and we had a super balin time!
This week we had our workouts at 5:20 a.m. with our member Brother Duggard and those are going to be the death of me. I literally can't feel my triceps anymore. I guess I didn't use those riding a bike. But guess it will all pay off when I am super swole!

We focused a ton on our investigators that are on date and making sure that they progress. We are getting one of our investigators off of cigarettes and we had a super awesome lesson with him on the atonement and he’s really determined to quit smoking. It is so awesome to see these people make these changes that will bring them closer to Jesus! And almost all of them came to church so that was sweeeeeet! We will keep them keepin on to baptism!
We found this sweet wall that had all these Texas license plates on it when we were walking around this neighborhood. Then this super sketchy guy came up to us and was asking us why we were taking pictures....I am almost positive some super sketch stuff was going down in that house haha but I really just needed some pictures to send home! So we bounced out of that place after that.

On Saturday it ended up raining a ton here and this town called Groves flooded......So first we had Harvey, then the freeze, and now people are flooding again. Poor Texas is getting destroyed. Only a couple of our members got flooded and they got helped out. We were able to help a methodist preacher move out of his house which took a long time. Apparently, they get transferred too and this guy had 3 days to pack up and preach in another town on Sunday, so he really needed our help that Saturday. He took us to this sweet Mexican restaurant afterwards too so win win!

Mom’s Questions
How is Port Arthur similar to Vidor and how is it different?
So Port Arthur is completely different from Vidor haha! They are like opposites. All white people in Vidor and like all black people in Port Arthur. If you go to a town called Neaderland, Groves, or Port Neches there are more white people but there are like none in Port Arthur. Our area is super huge which is different. Elder Jones talked to me though and Vidor got shut down to 3 wards again. That’s good because that needed to happen but the area I was serving in got a lot bigger and will hopefully help the missionaries there. Its honestly just super different from Vidor. Like there are actually places to eat, shop and do things like that here. It’s not as country for sure.
What do you generally cook for dinner?
So usually for Dinner I am really lazy and I have something else I need to work on for district meeting or some members or investigators I need to call so I have kinda just been snacking. But our money gets refilled so I will think about getting some stuff to actually cook. I have bought Salad stuff before and made that because it is super easy.
What goals have you and your companion set?
Well as far as goals we want to have 3 baptisms together. We should be able to get the people we have on date right now baptized but it might not be this transfer because of some things they gotta work on. But should be very early in the next transfer if not!
How many members are in your ward?
Lol so there are 600 people on the roster but only like 150 come. They really just need to clean up the ward list so we will probably try to help out with that where we can.
What was the most spiritual experience you had this week?
The most spiritual experience was probably a lesson that we had with Juan. Its been awesome to see him progress and he’s trying super hard to stop smoking so we had a really good lesson with him on the atonement.
Tell me 3 things about your new companion
Elder Baker wants to study something with Engineering, he’s super funny, and this is the longest he has ever been in an area! (2 transfers)
