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).

OFFICIALLY 19 YEARS OF AGE

 Celebrated Christmas and my birthday this past week so it's been exciting. Only had 3 major things happen really so this will be quick. 

1. I can drive again and life's great now. I missed driving so much these past 5 weeks, and now that I CAN drive, Elder Hall is a happy camper... EXCEPT we have a monitor in the car named “tiwi”. Tiwi beeps at you loudly to “CHECK YOUR SPEED” everytime you go 8 mph over the speed limit. They teach us not to have road rage but TIWI is the sole reason I want to drive headfirst into oncoming traffic. (I've been pretty good about not swearing but that machine’s brought out the devil in me a few times.)

2. Left my Companion for 30 minutes on a bike ride, around the block, with a guy we were teaching for the first time. My comp about called the mission president until I rolled back around at the perfect time. So that was a close one. Don't regret it, would do it again. 

3. And lastly, One guy we've been in contact with told us he's been using his book of Mormon pages to roll his blunts… honestly, that's one of the coolest things I've ever heard. BUT he does want to meet with us again so that's a win. 

That's pretty much it. Until next time.
