Oh my... where do I begin with the mission work. Let me start by just throwing out some random things.
1. Im loving the work as you all know. It's fun, tough, sad, joyful, challenging, but nonetheless no one ever said it would be easy.
2. I'm serving in a ward where there are two sets of missionaries because the boundaries are so huge. I'm not going to lie its been a challenge for me, maybe bc I'm territorial but I feel like every time i greet a member at church theyre like "Oh no, we're in the elders area." I'm about ready to kick the elders into another ward. Lol jk its not that bad but the division is kinda rough. You want to get in the homes of all the members but instead only half of them are yours... hmmm. Anyways
3. The weather here is awesome right now. Perfect for walking everywhere and greeting people like my comp and i have been doing. Its awesome. The trees the flowers everything is beautiful... I love it. There are a million kids playing outside all the time so i feel like im back on my street at home. Really cute. I love all the kids in the neighborhood and they love us. We talk to them all the time and have gotten to know them really well. They are all awesome!!!
4. My hair finally growing back from my AWWfullll haircut... So its looking nice again. Plan on going to the salon sometime soon.

I thank everyone for your prayers and support. And just to let you know I'm aware that my blog gets boring so if you all have any special request as to some things you'd like to know I'm up for that. Otherwise, its just good ol uplifting stuff, and you can only get so much of that... lol jk jk. Let me know people i love you all

Hello Hello Hello... from the great state of Md!!! Oh my this week has been fun. We have met a ton of interesting people and for some reason people are letting us in left and right. This area has truly been prepared by the angels of the Lord to receive this Restored Gospel. However, anyone who is familiar with missionary work knows this happens then the Lord needs to keep you humble and you'll go awhile with no one even giving you the time a day. But it's OK you always plan for the best and prepare for the worst. I have been having fun. My companion and i are teaching really well together and its amazing to learn and grow from one another. I dyed eggs for the first time in my life. I don't recall ever doing that. I have also done some other rare things like eat dry worms.. apparently they are a delicacy in Thailand or Taiwan or something and are suppose to taste like chips... Well that's absolutely false. I have also eaten a live worm. I dared an elder to do it and that i would give him 5 bucks (i didn't think he would do it), so when he did it i realized crap I'm a poor missionary and don't have 5 bucks so i had to eat one too. It wasn't that bad actually. Except for when i felt it crawling in my throat... HA HA I'm just kidding calm down people. But i did eat it. Anyways what else is going on. The mission is awesome i enjoyed general conference so much thats another story entirely and i will be here for days just thinking of all the things i liked. I love listening to the prophets and apostles speak. Its amazing for us to know that God loves us so much He gives us our own Noah or Moses to guide us and direct us. I love you all and i hope that if you did not get a chance to see General Conference that you will go to www.lds.org in order to view it. Well until next time i love you all and cant wait to see you all in a yr. lol
