Hey everyone!
Man, what a crazy week!! My whole mission life is 100% different then it has been haha. Whole new area, new companion, new branch, new investigators, and all new people im serving around! Its crazy!! but thus far i love it! We spend most of our time in a town called "Homewood" it is a suburb of Birmingham where there are a lot of Hispanic people! So thus we have been working a lot around where hispanic people are haha. Also in my area is UAB and the center of downtown Birmingham! its pretty cool to be right here in like the center of the south! Im serving with Elder Gunther, he is an awesome missionary! he knows the scriptures inside and out and he has been out around a year and a half and so he is experienced and a great companion. We get along awesome! as far as my week was though, here goes!
Monday: was my last p-day in huntsville! we had an awesome zone activity where we did yoga for like an hour then made smoothys haha, it was super fun and really relaxing! Then a little latter we had a soccer game with Jackie and her brother Jose. They are 2 super awesome investigators that i was teaching in huntsville and are still being taught!
Tuesday: We visited ward members and Donna and tried to leave a spiritual message with everyone before i was leaving. then we went and visited the Soto's (jackie and joses family) and ate dinner with them. I taught them for one last time. then we headed out to get home on time. it was a really great last day in huntsville!
Wednesday: Was Transfer Day! We drove to the altedena building (now the one i o to church at) and had a great meeting! i got put with elder gunther! Then we went and i emailed you guys my address and set up camp and met Roddrick! a super cool black guy we are teaching who should get baptized next saturday!
Thursday: we got food because we were like out, then we visited a bunch of different people. a guy named hugo that we are teaching and a woman named latania etc.
Friday: We visited people and then went and had soccer night with the people here in altedena! a ton of investigators came and they run it like a tournament because so many people come here. it was a blast!
Saturday: We went down to downtown birmingham just on a hunch and had a crazy cool expirience! So we had a whole afternoon with like nothing to do, So Elder Gunther was like "Its kind of far, but i think we should go to downtown" and so i was like why not!? Then we rode bikes over some crazy big hills to get there and had 2 amazing lessons to some teenagers that where skateboarding by the baseball stadium in downtown. Then it was getting dark so we started to head back and in route we got a call from the sister missionarys in leeds telling us how there was a member's, non member husband in the hospital at Birmingham who needed a blessing. Well, it just so happened that we were right by the exact hospital he was in! So because we had listened to the spirit to go to Downtown Birmingham, we were able to teach some amazing lessons to some kids who really are searching for truth, and give a man who really desired a blessing exactly what he needed! It was an awesome day!
Sunday: I got to meet the branch and they are all super nice and awesome people! So far i love the Altedena branch!
Thats kind of all thats been going on this week, but im doing well and i love it here. im truly loving my mission!
