11th Weekly Email

No pants? Party on!



Get hyped, this week is transfers! Not too hyped because I'm not getting transfered and neither is my trainer. Together we are a dream team😍 not really, we've actually been having a hard time. We get along super well but we are both new to the mission so we have no idea what we are doing. This transfer, we're gonna figure it out (with the help of Jesus)


One thing that motivates me to talk to people is when an an awkward or crazy situation happens, i can tell my family and group email. On Tuesday, I did just that. It wasn't awkward or crazy, mostly just hurtful. Anyways, we were at a park looking for people to talk to and we saw some young moms talking. I'm all for young moms so I sprang at the chance to talk to them. We went up and I asked them if they were interested in doing family history and as usual, we got an "I'm not interested maybe later" so I accept my losses and give them a restoration pamphlet with our names and number and walk away. THE SECOND we turn around to walk away I hear "hey honey can you go put this in the trash can". I would have turned around and yelled at them but I didn't want them to see the tears streaming down my face. I'm still trying to laugh it off.


Later that night, we had a lesson with Jon. He is an older guy that is slowly progressing. We got to his door and knocked. He opened the door but something was different. I looked at him and had to process for a second. OH! He doesn't have pants on. And he knew that. So he let us in and went back to arguing with the at&t guy. After about 10 minutes, he walks right up to us and tells us he's gonna put his pants on. "Okay Jon you go do that, we'll just be down here, hollar if you need help". Anyways, we had a bomb lesson (with all our pants on)


Later in the week, we were raking a members yard and a guy across the street jokingly says "how much for my yard?" So of course I tell him we'll do it for free. He didn't believe us so when I said weren't joking, he was a little taken back. He offered to let us use his leave vacuum. It's so sick let me tell you. Picture a leaf blower that goes in reverse and has a bag to catch the leaves. Anyways, we got both yards done in like 2 hours and when we're were done he gave us 20 dollars. I refused because we are missionaries and he goes "I know! And I'm a preacher". He talked for like 15 minutes about tithing, donations, and Jesus. He was super nice.


Figure this is more effective than individually so my address is 1500 tall tree road, derby Kansas 67037 apt 3205


Italian for the week: "sarebbe bello" is "it would be lovely/nice"


Vi voglio benissismo,
