Well this week was absolutely wild! This letter is going to be better than the last one so that is a promise!
Monday
We met with N and R and taught them about the Book of Mormon. They have since started reading the Book of Mormon so that will change. We went to a less active family's house and taught about stake conference and they said they needed to come back to church, all on their own. That was a yeet! Then we gave our friend E a blessing. She was feeling sick before the blessing but not afterwards. Oh and you guessed it, I got noodle legs again. I honestly don't know why that keeps happening. Grrrr (shoutouts to kenzie and maddi for coming up with the perfect term for how I feel about my noodle legs)
Tuesday
It was exchanges with Elder M. Now is when you read the rest of what happened in a New Zealand accent cause Elder M is from there and has a sick accent. Anyway. I got to be in Antietam with him. I hoped to see the battlefields but I wasn't gonna ask if we could go see them. So we went to this lesson and had a bomb lesson about the Plan of Salvation and guess where the lesson was. On the battlefield. That was a highlight experience.
Wednesday
We visited S... Then J... Then we had an awesome lesson with L about the Plan of Salvation.
We went to visit J and K, the guys we knocked on last week, and they weren't home. So we went to M's house and he told us about how he always runs into missionaries when he needs them most. That guy is a miracle.
We taught A, a recent convert, so that was good. Then we visited T and D.
Thursday
We visited the Ps. They are basically our Grandparents. Then we went to D's after knocking a bunch of doors with no success. D talked about how he needed to do better. Which like ya duh bro. He knows what he needs to do he just needs to actually do it. BUT we were talking and his mom was there listening like always. So we were like hey B could you keep D accountable to all the things he says he is gonna do, she said yes. So we officially picked her up as a new person to teach. Then we gave R, E's boyfriend, a blessing. He hurt his wrist so we went and gave him a blessing. Guess what. After the blessing he said his hand was tingling, so we called him the next day and his wrist was healed. Like priesthood power is real y'all.
Friday
We had lunch with the O's that was cool. Then we visited B. Who is an absolute legend. We read the story in the Book of Mormon about the Rameumptom (hopefully I spelled that right) and B was like "yo this is just like our day" what a guy. He then showed us his zoo room. The man has all this taxidermy in his house. Think the Bean Museum except B's son killed all of them. He apparently owns his own safari company, so he has like lions and stuff. It's pretty cool.
Then we had McDonald's in Berkeley Springs for dinner yay! We visited C cause he needed help getting ready for his move. Then we went to E and R's. They had friends over. We didn't stay long.
Saturday
All I remember is we went to R's. He has been listening to a lot of anti so we just sat there and let him slander the church all he wanted and then left.
Sunday
We had church. We had dinner at the A's. The Patriarch of that family is the coolest guy and is our Ward Mission Leader.
Vitamins: 6/7 I forgot yesterday cause I was fasting. RIP I was so close.
Anybody who is still confused about what this place is like, just think about how Leh, Utah is.
Anyway I ABSOLUTELY love it here. It is so great! Being able to help people is awesome and lessons are awesome! I just have absolutely loved my mission so far.
Thanks for all the birthday emails, I read all of them even if I didn't respond. (I got too many lol)
Love you all
Don't let the cat in the house,
Elder Pew
