This week wasn’t like the last. It was super slow because we are trying to
teach all of our new people more times. But it’s pretty much impossible cuz no one
wants to talk about church stuff again. They either have their own church, or they are
too busy. Or if we set an appointment, they
make sure not to be home. But we have done a lot of walking this week, just for
fun and to save miles. And walking is definitely
way better than in the car or on bikes. We just cruse around and talk to everyone on
the streets and play a little with the little kids outside. And its just a lot more fun.
Haha, we have also done a lot of prayer circles. When we go to pray, a lot of people just put
out their hands and expect us to join in. We have done it so many times its almost just
natural every time. And it’s always the
best when people shake our hands during the prayer. Or some put our hands up to their face cuz
its symbolic of something. Whatever. But one time, when praying with somebody, I
caught myself saying “dear lord” after every sentance cuz that’s what everyone
does here! It was rough.
And Elder Harper Smith, before his mission he drove a big lifted
jeep and he forgets that we drive a Corolla. If he sees a back dirt road he will just
charge it and he has gotten the car stuck twice in ditches and I have to get it
out for him. And because he had a jeep he’s a terrible driver. He is just used to driving over everything,
haha. He will just cruse over curbs and
bushes and it almost doesn’t even faze him. Haha, he’s crazy! Sometimes I have to tell him to mellow out
cuz he is always flooring it, but I have to remind him that we are
missionaries.
As Always,
Elder Parks
