Hard Sun 9/24/ 2022

 It's the end of summer and beginning of fall, but the heat and sun are still just as intense as ever. Hopefully in the next few weeks, things start to settle down. It's also taken me way too long to get this email out.

 

On Wednesday after district council, we had to drive from Galveston to Sugar Land to the mission office, for a new monitoring system in our car. That trip was an hour and a half then getting back to our area was another hour, so that day pretty much all we did was drive. 

 

We had a lesson Thursday with Julia, who took us to Tookie's burgers in Kemah, and we were joined by our nonmember friend Ashley. It went really well and both are on their way to being baptized soon. We went to the Roofners for dinner, who are members in the Alvin ward, and then went to institute that evening. 

 

Friday we got to do our food truck service again, and deep cleaned our apartment afterward to get ready for the new transfer. We taught our member friend Jesus, then came back to our church building to play volleyball with the Clear Lake youth. 

 

Saturday morning was basketball yet again, this time at a park because the church was being used without us knowing. It's kinda frustrating as missionaries not having access to stake and ward calendars for any area we serve in. We stopped by and said hi to some friends in the afternoon, and in the evening we played volleyball and card games with our member and nonmember friends at the institute activity. 

 

Sunday was extra special because of mission prep. The youth asked us a lot of really good and somewhat difficult questions that we all had the opportunity to answer and we each shared our personal testimony about missionary work.

 

We had transfers on Monday, and our area didn't change. Our district members did, however, so we really didn't do anything fun. FHE was a blast though since we played volleyball. 

 

This week was really spiritually uplifting and a great way to end off the transfer.
