This
week was super busy it started off with p-day which I have come to not like
that much. I don't really fit in with the other missionaries that
well, because some them are Utah boys that love to work out and that is all
they talk about and do, which I mean I like to work out but I do not
like to talk about it for hours on end and then not actually do it, they like to talk more than work out. Then
we have the missionaries that like to play card games and talk about
video games and there life back at home, and other things like that, so I feel that there is not much
of place for a PNW boy here. So I am trying to do activities
that I can do by myself and have fun like hacking / napping. Last week I
tried to buy a slack line but I don't have very much money so I will try again
next week to get one.
Then
we moved into our regular weekly business. On Tuesday we did missionary
work and made a ton of muffins like 50 or so for breakfast and because I
really enjoy muffins, they are chocolate chip, butterscotch chips and
banana, they are the bomb. On Wednesday we again fasted and the day
went by slow and we planned poorly, because when we woke up we were hungry
because we were fasting, and there was this amazing smell still in our apartment
from the night before, and some of the 50 or so muffins just siting there on the
counter, so ya the day was long and hard but another lesson learned. On the bright side we already had dinner made lol, no we had leftovers.
Thursday was our weekly, it is where we plan for the next upcoming week and it
takes like 2 to 3 hours so we don't get much done other then that, but it
was nice to get the weekly out of the way. Then came Friday and we had ZTM
(zone training meeting) it happens like once a month, and its where all of
the Alexandra Zone gets together and talk and learn. After
we went on splits with the other missionaries in our district. I was
up in Alex's Friday and Saturday with Elder B. and what a cool nice
guy, I love him a ton and he's a good friend but he is not the best
missionary out there and I learned a ton from his example, on how I don't want to be. Other then that I had a good time with him and I
like hanging out with him but I am here to be a missionary not to hang
out and have fun. Saturday was just another day to serve God and that is
what I did, cool story we got one of our investigators Brittney W. set on
date to be baptized for the 29 this mouth so lets go... Sunday was the
best we had church, we had two investigators there and they loved it so
much, then we had dinner at the Griffin's and they feed us pizza and I
helped them carve there first pumpkins so that was way cool because if I
did not get to carve one this year I would have been super sad. After that
we went to see the Browns and brother Brown is getting super sick but
he has this big golf thing up in Atlanta for like 14 days and he thinks
that is what is going to kill him off for good, but I think he is mostly
joking or I hope so. They were a less active couple for the majority of
there life and about 6 mouths ago they started to come back and they are
trying to get sealed in the temple before he goes for good.
This week was long but really good, I learned a ton and I still have more to learn.
Love you mom, and love y'all so much I hope/pray for the best for all of you.
Love,
Elder Gordon
