Pimpin...

 

Transfer calls came in and the new guys name is Elder Mohler. I'll serve in a new area for this week while I wait to meet him. 

Nothing much else so here's a quick story:

       We got a call from a lady who told us she was being bullied by her African American mom because she looks “Egyption-Celestial”. We asked what she wanted us to do about it and she told us that she would like “a blue eyed, Blonde hair, young, fit, church going, Caucasian man for rooming with. Except I don't have a bra so please send him with plastic bags for my clothes.” …. How the fetch do you mistake a missionary for a pimp. Florida's not real. 

Until next time 

HIGHLIGHTS:

○ Did some service at the Ronald McDonald Charity House. 

○ Unplugged the car tracker/monitor for a few days and the heavens opened. But my comp plugged it back in because he hates joy I guess. 

○ Put someone on date for baptism. 

FIRST BAPTISM

 2 things worth noting.

 

On Friday, we had interviews with our mission president. All week I felt like he was gonna get upset with me about something, but I just didn't know what. Then he privately pulls me into his office and says “I hear you're baptizing someone tomorrow. Would you like to practice on me, as if I was her?”... I'd take getting chastised 100 times over instead of ever hearing my mission president say those words again.

Anyway-

      Like I said, on Saturday I got to baptize one of the sisters friends named Nevaeh. That was a first for me. I was nervous and instinctively asked her, “how long can you hold your breath for?” and she did NOT catch my sarcasm. It ended up being a cool experience though. I only had to dunk her once so that's a win .

That's all folks. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

○ My companion got a phone 

○ Got all my credit cards back  

○ locked ourselves out from the key to the font. 

○ ate a mussels at the beach today and about tossed my cookies 

     

3 month mark tmr. Hooray.

Sadly, Walker still doesn't have a phone and his driving privileges have been rebuked . So im game 7 Bron now. Team on my back. It's been great though because It's taught me a lil more responsibility because I'm doing most everything right now (without a license or money still).

We got to watch the first half of the Super Bowl in an elderly care center with a member. Love that man for inviting us to do so. Smell of pi$s and death aside. 

We met up with a guy who mid lesson said that Angel Moroni was talking to him and wanted to give us a very important message. He said that “SHE says we are in the latter days and theres lots of conflict” ... You don't say. 

Don't do drugs kids. You'll end up in Florida- -getting taught by me. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

○ Met a member named Greg but he calls himself “The Forkman”. He started off by telling us that he is “hippie and inactive as *****”. HE was terribly nice but his lady came walking out of his house to tell us to “run home to our preacher”. I thought it was funny so I laughed but she didn't feel the same I guess. 

○ Weather is peak.

○ Had Zone conferenceee 

Zone Conference

 

13 REASONS

Missed last week's email and hand up, that's on me 🙋‍♂️. But these past 2 weeks have been a (female dog) to us, so bare with me. 

So first off, my wallet got stolen and homeboy ran up a TAB in Gas . Had to cancel everything and re-order my cards/license. So I'm broke for the next 2 weeks. I hate it. (Completely understand how the pioneers felt. We are warriors honestly ️)

Secondly, we decided to go walking to a few appointments instead of driving because the weather's been fine all week. And as we were walking, God felt like being a FUNNY GUY, and it got up to like 80°. Which felt like 110° Utah weather. Summers are gonna put me on my —. Oh well. Better than freezing cold conditions. 

Third, we lost a Baptismal date. That was a real bummer. 

Lastly, My companion dropped his phone and it's completely broken, so this week's gonna be a lot of fun. 

HOWEVER, We pulled up to a car show and found this car (1931 Model A) that was used in the movie “Edgar” with Leonardo Dicaprio, as well as gave a ride to John F. Kennedy (He had better luck in this car than the other)

UNTIL NEXT TIME. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

○ none. God's pissed lately. 

 

1 MORE TIL 21 MORE

 Nothing crazy happened this week. Nobody opens their doors, understandably. SO again, pretty short email. 

Transfer calls occurred and I'm staying with my companion, Elder Walker, for 6 more weeks in Tallahassee. 

Ran into some Hebrew-Israelites at the park who called us over to argue with us. They told us we are going to Hell for being white. Knew that already. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

● Hit my 2 month mark. 22 to go.

● Cold front hit and it's been like 20 degrees a few days of the week. And 60 degrees on the other days

FSU FOOTBALL 🏈

 This week was a fine mix of wanting to flip a table, but also fun firsts. 

We personally toured the Florida State Seminoles athletic facility. Managed to get into the football stadiums sweets as well as the roof after climbing a few ladders. Even met a few football players coming off the elevator. They're still bitter lol. Understandably. The rest of the campus is sweet though. Gives off Renaissance vibes because of the architecture. 

Wednesday around 8:00 pm, during an exchange with the zone leaders, I got pulled over because the cop thought our brake lights were out. We cleared the problem up but once he realized we were missionaries, the Cop proceeded to keep us for 30 minutes and tell us about HIS Christianity. 

He told us how he believes there are 2 different jesus’ (for sure). He finished off by telling us to have an open mind about joining other religions. 

Highlights:

● FSU has a bunch of Jameis Winston shrines… I wonder if they know 🤔 

● Tornado Warning got issued 🌪 

● Met the FSU Girls Volleyball team 🏐 

● ❤️‍🔥🦕🦖 

MARRIAGE

 Waddup boys. On today's episode we have 3 main attractions:

1. This guy we are teaching named Demarcus randomly asked, mid lesson, how long I've been married. I Sat there baffled because i thought he was insinuating that my companion and I were married. until I realized that he was referring to my CTR ring. I told him a few months and moved onto the next conversation. 

2. We did exchanges last Wednesday. This means I swap companions for 24 hours with another set of missionaries. It was my turn to lead out my area with a new companion and I came home and sacked. Out. So tiring. Mad respect to trainers. 

3. Lastly, I had an interview with my mission president. He told me to slow down my driving… I hate you TIWI. Not only annoying but you're a snitch too. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

● Did service for some members and our reward was he got us into Costco🤙

● Surprised a member on her bday with cake 🎂 (picture below).
