I got evicted!

 Hola, 

Yeah... so this has literally been the most depressing week ever. Like actually so sad. First of all, with missionary work wise, we had so many exchanges, meetings, and other stuff, Elder Dawson and I barely got to work in our area. Unfortunately, in our own area nothing is progressing. We have some hope for some interested people that we are teaching which will be good. We're so desperate for people to teach, we literally set up a lesson on our P-Day. It's like going into work on your day off, only psychopaths do that, and missionaries, I guess. Anyways, to give an update on who we are teaching, we are teaching a Mexican lady who lived in South Carolina for a long time. Elder Dawson is from there, so he is pretty excited about that. We had to drop a lot of part member families that we were teaching because they weren't progressing. That was sad. But you gotta drop them when they never ever go to church.

Yeah so, I also got evicted. Like actually. I'm still kind of upset about it but it's fine. Getting cut down like this will actually be good for me. Do you remember that super nice house I was living in with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, wifi, a massage chair, unlimited soda, and queen-sized beds? We got kicked out. Apparently, Brother and Sister Truman said they walked in one day and it was super dirty. They set up a house inspection after seeing the dirty home and so we cleaned the house hard. We even vacuumed and mopped everything; it was so nice. So, then they come in the next day for the inspection, takes a 5-minute walk around and gives us 3 days' notice. No second chances. So, we used more proselyting time to take out everything out of the house and move it into our new apartment, it's a two-person apartment so the APs aren't living with us anymore. Yeah, but I'm not salty haha... 

I could go on and on about how weird they were acting about it but it's safe to say no matter how clean we made that house; they were going to evict us. I'm kinda upset but I'll get over it and eventually I'll be at peace with it. Already now as I write this email, I see how all that eviction stuff really doesn't matter. This will be good, now that I'm in a two man in our area I'm definitely going to be more obedient. So, I'm actually excited about that. Gives me more time to journal and have really good studies. 

What else happened? Well, I went on exchanges with some struggling elders and had a great time. The non-hard working elders are for some reason the funniest, so it was actually kinda fun. Oh yeah, I remembered something that happened, a couple days before we got evicted, the Truman's dog came and peed all over my clothes. That was not fun.    

I had to take Elder Richard to urgent care. He was on bike for the day and almost broke his arm by biking into a wall. He almost broke his head too, good thing he was wearing his helmet because he literally hit the top of his helmet on the corner between two walls. He literally cracked the helmet. So, wear your helmet, it'll save your life. We drove up and took him to urgent care. I was really worried about him because is arm looked really bad and honestly looked fractured or broken. He got an x-ray and he's fine. Just really bruised. While in the waiting lobby, my companion and I then watched all of toy story because it was playing in the lobby. That was awesome. haha.

And then finally during sacrament of an English ward I attended that day the speaker said a swear word over the pulpit. We invited lots of English people we found and then pulled up to sacrament meeting and it was wild. The talk that dude was giving was so wack and literally said his grandpa was seeing visions of Moroni and a lot of other stuff that probably shouldn't be said over the pulpit. Then he told this story about fishing and at the very end just yells S**T for the punchline of the story. Then he turns around to the bishop and says, "can I say that? Is that alright?" My companion was so close to go up to him afterwards to say something about how there's kids and nonmembers here so please plan your talk better, but he didn't which was probably a good idea. Well leave that discussion for the bishop.

So that was my week, pretty fun huh. These days are such a blur and I find it so weird how I keep waking up in a two man. But hey, life's life and we move on. Love you all.
