Good morning!
This week was full of the most random stuff so I hope you enjoy. We have an all day p day today so I’m excited for that. I’m getting a harocut today because my hair looks like a mop.
Tuesday
We woke up at 6 to workout at this hotel that lets us go and workout and eat breakfast for free. We got a good pump and then went home and did our studies. We met with a kid named Dom for the first time and invited him to be baptized on August 13th. He’s 9 and wants to be better because he’s been around the wrong crowd at the skatepark. I got new tires for my bike at Walmart because the tread was down to zero. It looked like a street bike
Wednesday
We had a service with brother Miller and helped peel up his flooring. It was tough but we are coming back another day. We had apartment inspections and it went pretty well. We keep it clean which is good. There are some messy missionaries out there. This dude on the side of the street called me a KKK member out of nowhere and was saying my companion doesn’t know his roots in Hawaii. My comp was about to blow up so we had to dip. Dude was on something
Thursday
We had a service for a family that has a daughter getting baptized. The mom is in rehab for some things and wants her to be there so it’s it’s bummer she isn’t getting baptized next week anymore. That’s just how it is sometimes. We had a lesson at this old dude’s house and as soon as he walked in there were pictures and Christmas decorations everywhere. We sat down and watched his home videos of the sacred grove and had a jukebox playing peaceful music. We walk in the other room and there is a christmas tree, polar express train, and moving ornaments. We were over there to give him a blessing but said someone else was going to do it. He finessed us.
Friday
Today was another interesting one. We had district council and since we combined with the other one it’s huge now. We went to lunch with some of the elders afterwards and then had some lessons. I saw my old friend Nick again today but he was going crazy. He offered us a blunt but we declined. Then this other guy jokingly pulled a knife out and said give me all your money while moving towards us. Something new happens everyday here
Saturday
We had a service helping pull up that flooring again and finished it. It sucked but I’m glad we could help. We helped clean the church with the kid we just baptized and his older brother going on a mission. We got home and my companion started to feel really sick. We have just been making phone calls all day
Sunday
Another sick day
Spiritual thought:
D&C 93:40
40 But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.
The family is the most important unit we have here on earth. This gospel here on earth revolves around families. It’d so important that we come together as a family and draw nearer to our heavenly father and our savior. Just simply praying together can bring a spirit into the home that you will always want.
Elder Willis
