The weather out here is literally bipolar. It can be bright and sunny with a cool temperature or overcast and rainy while boiling. It's not super fun to deal with. I couldn't tell you what month it is. Everyone is telling me Christmas is soon but it also feels like the middle of May. My email is coming late because I had some super amazing things going on that I'll share next week.
This
week we were super busy with a couple service projects. One lady in the Spanish
ward needed a lot of work done on her new yard where her mobile home has just
been put. After trying to use a push mower and breaking it as well as trying to
revive a dead riding mower, I had to resort to cutting a whole lawn of three
foot tall grass with a weed whacked. It was not fun, but I definitely felt accomplished
after that. We also came back and dug out some dirt for her with broken shovels
and hoes. That was a whole other ordeal.
Another
lady in the Missouri City ward needed help from our whole district to paint her
fence. Even with eight missionaries, It took a long time trying to coat a super
long fence with tiny sponge brushes. She was super adamant on us using bleach
and gasoline to clean our hands, so I'm sure I'm missing a few layers of skin
now. On the second day, the lady was kind enough to send us home with some
fried fish which looked completely repulsive and smelled the same. It actually
wasn't that bad but just looking at the thing I couldn't handle more than one
bite. It's safe to say I'm spoiled here in Texas when I choose to throw out a
perfectly good fish.
We
had stake conference this week and we got to watch it over zoom at a members
house. One thing I remember was that we can always turn towards Christ no
matter the circumstances we are in or the needs we have. He wants to and can help
us with anything, great or small.
