Season 6, Episode 1, March 7, 2016

MOM NOTE:  One of Alex’s best friends, Jordan, got his mission call to Alex’s mission, I have been waiting for 2 weeks for him to say something...After I asked him if he had heard from Jordan, I finally got this response:

Yeah it was awesome!! Same mission! I am stoked!!  Finally! I think he doesn’t answer me on purpose, to make me crazy! Notice that I still don’t have a real address....Hmmm.....

My new comp is Elder Johnson. He is a good guy. We get along so far. I am not sure of the address but is about 102 NE Prescott. It is a little apartment complex. We share it with another set of missionaries, which means it is a blast. There is another Elder, that I get along with well there and we give each other a bad time all the time. After a while I get him wound up which leads to us wrestle. So far there has already been a few wrestling matches. Haha, all in good fun he almost wins some and I win some.

Monday-

We had a great day. We had a service project planned but we couldn’t help him move because it was out of the zone. So we could help with the initial move. Then we had my last lesson with the Ragonese family. It was a bitter sweet  moment. I taught them from the beginning, now I have to leave.

Tuesday-

We visited a couple of the members later say goodbye, so it wasn't a very  exciting day.

Wednesday-

We had he transfers this day so it was a very slow day. We did a lot of planning.

Thursday-

We did more planning. The area book is really unorganized and we fixed that. It was bad, I couldn’t find anything. So we had to organize it.

Friday-

Lots more planning. It wasn't too bad because we taught a few people so it made the day go by better.

Saturday-

It was a full day of finding. But we went by a bunch of people we got from the elders quorum president. We found a few of them, but not everyone was home.

Sunday-

This is actually when it got really good. We were trying by this less active’s house and then we just talked to a few people going up to the apartment. Then we got a time to come back later. We then had church.  It was good, still a very weird Ward. The Ward is a very old Ward. Most people there were in the late 60s and 70s. (sorry Grandparents)  Then we had a blessing to give. After that we went by the less actives house and there was another person in the parking lot. So we started talking to them. One of them was asking some really dumb questions to us, he asked what color we thought God was? And why God created weed? While he was asking those questions, we just bore our testimonies. His friend was softened by the spirit. So we switched focus to him and it was sweet.

That is about all this week so next week will be better.

Love,

✌Elder Astle 👊
