I don't even know what to call these anymore

Hello my wonderful fans! I hope you aren't looking to read anything super interesting or fun because my week was pretty much the opposite of those. Except of course to note that if I watch a church movie I will cry. Period. Every. time. Thanks Dad.
This week was actually pretty good regardless of what I might say. We are still teaching our wonderful family C and W and actually had a lunch at the church with them where we played kickball with them and their 3 children. So yeah we are pretty much in with them. We are also teaching another guy who loves talking with us which is awesome.
Then we also had a couple of services which on one I wish we had a picture because with only 3 missionaries and 3 weed whackers you'd be impressed what we can get done. We also had a division with the APs this week which meant we got to hang out with Elder L who I love. He is pretty awesome. Lots of sports as well and not much else happening. I guess the last noteworthy thing is that I just completed my first transfer which is low key crazy because it feels like I haven't been here long. I love you guys and I'm always praying for y'all.

Independence Week

Alrighty folks, hope you all had a fantastic week. If you're still reading these I'm impressed because not much has happened these past weeks I feel like.

This week was actually really good. Starting off we got our new companion Elder F who is super legit. Crazy good at every sport so it's been a good time. We were also in the CTM together which is fun. As well as a welcome gift we helped this lady in our ward move. I wont go into detail about her but she definitely hoards things and it was an insane move for sure. Then we did service with another non-member family who dropped food off for us and we totally thought they were members! But when we found they weren't we immediately set up a time to come fix up their yard and started teaching them. They are a super awesome family and five pizzas is way too much for 8 missionaries but a welcome challenge.

Then along with the arrival of Elder F we added pickleball to this weeks games and began playing Secret Hitler. We are running out of games to play it's kind of ridiculous. Pickleball may be a grandpa sport(meaning its perfect for Elder D) but it's actually still really fun. Highly suggested but paddles are not worth the big bucks. (Simply mooch off someone who already owns them) Not really sure what else happened this week, the days have begun to blur together into an endless cycle and I've lost track of what day is which. (Literally I thought it was Wednesday on Friday this last week.)

Hope y'all are doing great. This time in quarantine, I've realized, is probably the best time I've had in coming closer to my Savior. The struggles and trials of pushed me closer to God in a way I didn't imagine. Use this time for the opportunity that it is. God knows how difficult this is and will bless us for our efforts.
