The Rain

 The Rain is back, and it brings me back to my first transfer when I actually forgot what the sun looks like.

But hey were having a great time out here in bend! We have interviews with our president tomorrow and im debating if i should ask him to stay here or ask him to leave. Because I love this place but its getting too cold for me so if be down to leave. With my luck I'll be back on a bike.

For whatever reason we keep getting random calls from non-members asking us to help them move. And then we pull up and do all the work and then they dont even thank us. And obviously im not out here for myself yk but it would be nice to get a thanks or like a pizza or something yk. 

Anyways for Halloween we dressed up as ninja turtles and im not gonna lie, we looked gooooood. But we had to be in our apartments at 5 on Halloween and prez wanted us to clean. So we cleaned for 4 hours and didnt get a single trick or treater.

But were teaching some cool friends my boys Jorge and Jose. They are brothers that live together that we found like a week ago. And they're Dawgs we teach them like every day and they love it. Hopefully we can get them to church on sunday. 

We went to Walmart today and my comp tried to buy a forever roll of toilet paper. It was 30 bucks and I told that that was a bad use of tithing and he ignored me so now we have a massive forever roll of toilet paper that we can't even put anywhere.

Anyways in our recent meetings with president and we also met with Peter Johnson of the 70. We've been talking a lot about our missionary purpose and our personal conversion. Cause its kinda hard to teach people if you don't believe what your teaching. 

Although I have a testimony on most things we teach, its not alwasy perfect so ive been on the grind with my personal studies.

We got a new stake president recently and he keeps bringing up his favorite chapter of the book of mormon(Jacob 5) and I'll be honest I've been skipping jacob 5 everytime I read the book of mormon🤣 cause it makes no sense to me. Buuuuut he explained it really well and basically he wants us to "focus on the good" so that is what I've been trying to do. Even when it gets hard or gets discouraging we gotta focus on the good.

That's all I got this week so hope yall have a good rest of your week. Also this Wednesday p-day thing makes the weeks go by even faster! Its crazy🤪
