WARNING!

This week has been good, we had like 25 lessons cancel on us so that always is good, but its whatever.

On Monday a lady came and asked to sleep in the church and when we told her she can't she told us we weren't compassionate, and then started to curse us, not curse at us, curse us... like Elisha, I was kinda worried two she-bears were gonna come out of the woods and kill us (see 2 kings 2:23-24)  instead we just had a tornado warning, so yeah, the siren was sketch. 

That was my week, not much else. Have a great week! 

Hola!

¡Buenas tardes! 

Well everyone this week has been good, we have easily made 200 calls. Yes, you read that right, 200 calls!! It has been a long week for sure, but a decently fruitful one as well. Besides the hundreds of calls we taught a few lessons, and yesterday we went and visited some members who are from the village where Elder Corey served in Guatemala. That was a lot of fun for both of us, Elder Corey was back in his element and I was able to dust off that good ole Nampa High Spanish... so yeah I sat while my companion talked. but we might be doing some language study so I might come back bearing my testimony in Spanish just to prove that I can. 

Thursday our AC at our house got fried because of a lightning storm earlier that day, who the heck knew that lightning could do that?!?!?! I thought it only struck trees and the occasional person, but I guess lightning also has beef with AC units too. 

On Saturday we were able to go and burn a PHAT pile of wood from trees left over from Hurricane Michael, We used Diesel Fuel😁 it was a lot of fun, and I only lost half my left legs hair. 

On Friday I hit my year mark!! it's crazy I already hit a year! Time really flies by when you're having fun I guess. 

Bye! 

If you got this far I have a treat for you, pictures!

Wassup!

This week has been pretty good. I picked up Elder Corey from Prattville on Wednesday, we had 

We had an eventful ride home from transfers... about an hour away from Prattville I ran over a piece of plastic and it didn't do anything to the front tire but it hit the back tire differently. 2 seconds later the tire pressure gauge comes up and says the PSI was dropping fast, So I was looking for somewhere to pull over, but in Alabama there isn't anywhere to pull over on the highway, its road and then immediately ditch so I was looking for a store and luckily about a quarter of a mile away there was a restaurant so I pulled over and I changed the tire. I owe the knowledge of how to change a tire all to Bishop Hodges and Mike Vester, so thanks for that one. 

Elder Corey is awesome, he is from Salt Lake City, go figure. He was reassigned from Guatemala. Well that's all I got for you this week, I do have a couple pictures this time, and one video!

Transfers!

These past few weeks have been pretty good, we've taught quite a bit and have been working pretty hard. We found out last night that both Elder Bell and Daines will be leaving Marianna and I will be staying here with a new companion. Elder Bell will be going up to Hoover Alabama, and Elder Daines will be over to Monroeville Alabama. We have had a lot of fun serving together but I am happy for some change. My new companion is Elder Corey and he seems pretty cool, he was reassigned from another foreign mission cause of the 'rona so I am excited to serve with him. Also earlier this week a member took us out to this local steakhouse where I had the best steak I have ever had so that was pretty cool. 

Well that is all I got, have a great week! 

Sorry no Pictures... I know I'm lame
