Ridin' The Storm Out 1/28/2023

 This past week was fairly interesting, considering all that happened.

 

Tuesday was pretty basic, we did some biking and finding and taught the Bolanos again. 

 

Wednesday we had our last district council of the transfer and our last zone call. We spent the rest of the day sorting things out with area book and our page messaging team. 

 

We did what we thought was a deep clean of our apartment Thursday to get ready for transfers. Then we hit the bike grind again visiting some members and investigators.

 

We showed up to weekly service Friday, but after waiting for 2 hours for something to do, they told us the truck wasn't coming and that we could just take some food home with us. We got to teach a really good lesson to Anaika over zoom right before going to a baptism in the H4 Spanish ward. Elder Norris and I went on exchanges, and for the first time on my mission, I got to help teach Spanish speakers English at the English class. It was hard to communicate with them since I know zero Spanish, but it was fun tryna help them learn Spanish.

 

In the morning, Sister Richards messaged us after our inspections and said we needed to clean our apartment, so Elder Norris and I went back to my apartment to rearrange things and do another deep clean. All the Elders then came over and we got our transfer news. I found I'd be moving again for the third transfer in a row, which is really weird for a missionary to move that much, especially considering I have such a short time left. We went to the Hibberts for dinner and then we were gonna have our youth volleyball at the church, but there was something at the church so we just had to head back home.

 

Sunday was just our standard missionary and church meetings. I spent the rest of the day packing up all my stuff, which was so frustrating. I just hate having to pack my stuff. 

 

Monday we met up with a bunch of other missionaries at the mission office for transfers. It was so fun talking to all the Elders and Sisters I know, that's one positive from transfers. I met up with Elder Mafi, who's now my companion with me in Alvin. We went with some Elders to In N Out before heading to our area.  The rest of our district was busy waiting for greenies, so Elder Mafi and I just went to the church and shot hoops for a bit. In the evening, Jordan Morgan in the ward took us out to an Italian place for dinner. 

 

All in all, it was honestly a weird week, but I'm glad there were still positives to see and miracles to witness.
