22 1/7/2023

 The last week of the year was pretty good, a pleasant way to finish out.

 

On exchanges, Elder Barnes and I went to a member's house for breakfast, where apparently the nonmember husband was bashing the member's wife and Elder Barnes in Spanish. I just got to sit there and enjoy my food without any understanding of what was happening. We had more Spanish lessons with investigators and I just got to kinda exist and be present. Later that night, like 10 pm, while we were in bed, the sisters came by begging for the packages we had grabbed for them, that was kinda funny.

 

Wednesday and Thursday weren't too exciting. We just had district council and a zone meeting, the rest of our time we tried getting in contact with and teaching some inactive members. 

 

Friday we had another food truck service, and they had way too much leftover Christmas treats, bread, and meat, so we ended up taking a couple big boxes home full of whatever food we wanted. We also got to teach our friend Deyanta who we were a bit worried about, and he is doing well. 

 

Our interviews were a little weird this transfer. We instead did them with our ZLs, and I basically just sat in a room with Elder Farris and we just joked for a solid 20 minutes. It was very bizarre, don't know what president expects to gain from what the zls gather. We did find a couple new people to teach in the afternoon. We met over zoom as a mission and watched a slideshow of the year and then the movie best two years. 

 

Sunday we had church in the morning, and then in the afternoon we joined the Wells and Bullocks for dinner. 

 

Pday was also my birthday, and it was pretty fun. I officially went a full year without any soda as well, so to celebrate of course I had to go and buy some mountain dew for the week. We went to the Hibberts in Jones Creek for kolaches and some games. In the afternoon we met as a district to play volleyball and have lunch together. 

 

It was all in all a solid week and I enjoyed quite a bit of it.
