THE TEMPLE AND HALLOWEEN AND TEXAS ROADHOUSE - 6 November 2023

Yo how's everyone been!! Hope your doing good, things have been chilling here in Virginia Beach. This week was one hecka long week but it was OK once I got through it hahah. 

Monday we spent the night with the Providence elders and had an exchange the next day. On the exchange I went with Elder Xhang, who is gonna be serving in Taiwan soon. He's pretty cool, we had a good day. We had an awesome lesson with one of their friends on date which was cool. He's like 19 so it was me, my comp, him, his buddy and another guy. I felt like I was just hanging with my friends! It was sick, I miss that fr. But then after that we were getting close to finishing the day since it was Halloween so we had to stop proselytizing by 6. So we decided to go visit this one yellow dot in their area. When we pulled up, we realized we had her address to her apartment building but not her apartment number. So we were like well, let's just knock the first floor. So we go and I just pointed at a door and told Elder Xhang to knock it, so he does and a lady answered and we ask if she knows Lea. She said she was Lea!! I kid you not the first door we knock on was hers! It was crazy!! We taught her bout the Book of Mormon and set up a time to come back! That was a cool miracle for that day.

Then after 6, we were obviously gonna go get dinner and yes, my favorite, we went to Texas roadhouse!!! Let's go! Had a delicious steak! Ya know the usually! Thanks mom and dad for the gift card!! 

Then on Wednesday we went to the temple in Richmond which was like 2 hours away! It was a long trip, this day honestly wasn't the best. I have been pretty sick with allergies and so I was struggling to breath all day 🤧! But we had a great temple session then hung out a little and came back home to just relax for a little. But honestly that trip killed me because I just got more sick and my head wanted to explode. So I loaded up on drugs, thanks dad. Now I'm tryna blow this over

Saturday was prolly the worst day of my life, I was so sick. My head was pounding all day but I didn't want to burden my comp so we just drove around visiting a bunch of people, and fir some reason I wanted to go home but felt like I needed to put in the work. So we work hard and I was dying, barley walking. Fortunately I think the lord looked down on us and our efforts because we had three phone call lessons with some of our friends which all went through! The lessons were really great lessons too! We ended up finding 3 of our friends and felt like our efforts were rewarded. God's pretty cool with that.

Today we had zone pday which was fun, we tie dyed some shirts then played some gym games, nothing too crazy! 

This week and last week were all just a blur, we've been finding but we haven't been able to get a solid person to start coming to church which kinda stinks but we are working hard and if we don't get someone baptized while I'm here, I can confidently say I worked my hardest I could. I'm enjoying it too! Life has been crazy the past year but I wouldn't trade it for the world, even when im broken and literally done with all the rejection and the exhaustion and the life of a missionary, I know I'm not gonna give up because this will be the best thing I've done for the rest of my life. I love it, I love God, I love yall, I love life! Hope yall do too!! Anyways I will talk to yall next week, bouta go take a fat nap!
