Hurt 7/21/22

 This week was pretty solid, nothing but great experiences.

 

On Wednesday we went to the Texas A&M Galveston satellite campus after lunch, which was pretty cool. The backstory of its creation is that there was a canal being dug out, and all the dirt was piled up into an island, and they decided to put a small school on top of it. We also got to have a member dinner that evening with our investigator Russell there as well.


Friday morning we went to a methodist church and helped them with their food truck service. All the Elders in the zone were there and our job was to load up cars and trucks that came in with prepared boxes of food. That was a lot of fun doing.

 

Basketball Saturday was fun for the most part. I did, however, make the mistake of playing a little too rough and intense and ended up hurting my back really bad. That costly choice put me out of commission for a day or two. We did manage to get some contacts and lessons in back at the apartment while I was wincing through the pain.

 

For Pday, we finally got the chance to fully stock our cupboards and fridge, and I got my haircut after going without one the past couple of months or so. We went to Denny's with the Clear Lake district missionaries since the Sisters wanted to introduce us to their friend Phillip who worked there and they were planning on passing off to us. That evening at FHE we played dodgeball, and I don't know what sort of magical athletic juice I had drunk earlier that day, but I somehow managed to annihilate everyone and carry my team to victory multiple times. At one point, it was me against 7 people and somehow, without bringing any of my teammates back, managed to win. That was an experience and a half.

 

I'm so glad the ways I've been able to see the Lord's hand in my life the last couple weeks and I'm

so excited to bring that same attitude with me to our temple trip in the near future.
