Harvey Part 2

This week was crazy!!! It rained so much so it made for a good week of missionary work.  

To start off the week I went on exchanges with the Broadway Elders, Elder Price and Elder Bowers. They are in a trio so it was a trio exchange for the day! I took them to my area and we saw a lot of really cool things happen! We were able to get in with some less active members and they are going to be feeding us this week! On the way back from exchanges Elder Price's bike fell off the rack and was getting dragged so he lost like 2 inches of his handlebars hahaha! It was pretty freaky because I had to get out and fix it over this busy bridge but we made it!

The next day it rained so much here! We got caught out on our bikes and we got soakkedd. Our recent convert Art texted us that around his house was flooding so we hurried down there to help him since his mom and grandma were in the house. They turned out to be alright but we did get to walk through a ton of water. Right after we had a less active member take us to go get some sushi. I tried to take it like a champ but I almost threw up like 5 times. She noticed and made sure I ate something else. My shoes caused there to be a lake in the restaurant with how much water was in them so hopefully they invite us to dinner again!

SJ had her baptism this week and I got to perform the ordinance so that was really cool! We got a prompting the day of her baptism to text her and ask how she was doing and she told us the next day that it was right before she was about to drink some coffee but we were able to talk with her and help her out!

Sunday, we had the mission Presidents Fireside. Every month he has a fireside to help our investigators and less active members returning progress. Our recent convert Irene spoke about her conversion story and she is the sweetest person every! She did an awesome job and I know she helped out some people that were there. 

Other than that, I finished the Book of Mormon this week so that was amazing! I know that it is the word of God and that this gospel is true! It is such a joy to be on a mission and be able to teach people about the happiness they can find! Have an amazing week! Love you all!

Are transfers next week?

Yes, transfers are next week. 

What is the pin that you wear on your suit?

 It is a Baytown pin. Brother Davis in the YSA branch presidency gave it to me

Is the 4^th of July just another day for you or do you get to attend some sort of celebration?

 I haven't really thought about the 4th of July yet so we might have somewhere to go. We will probably have to come in early for that night. 

The Hewletts said in their text that your recent convert spoke at the Mission President’s Fireside.  Which convert was that and what did they speak about?

The convert was Irene Espina and she talked about her conversion story and she has a powerful testimony! She is awesome!

 Any challenges you experienced this week and how did you overcome it?

We had all of our lessons fall through on a day and I got a flat but we made the most of the day and found some people to teach!

 What’s the deal with split pants…..do you need another pair, a bigger size?? ☺

No my pants still work they just got caught on something so I got them sewed up. I got some awesome Nike golf pants from the retail store for $30 this week. They breathe so well so they are the best!
