Week 2

This week was a lot slower. We spent a lot of it indoors planning lessons and reaching out to people through Facebook. There has been a couple really cool thunderstorms over here as well which I love. Its tornado season is what they're telling me so I'm really hoping I have a twister experience or see cows flying around in a tornado or something sweet like that. We went mountain biking with a member and there are some amazing Trails out here people go crazy for it. My comp is teaching me how to play the ukulele which has been super fun but I sound like trash. Studying is seriously the highlight of my day right now. I never was very good at studying but I seriously could study for hours and have no problem with it the scriptures are amazing. There is so much to learn from them and it makes me really sad that I didn't take advantage of seminary in high school which I never thought I would say haha guess parents are right every once in a while. The members are amazing here in bentonville too, we get groceries from them and desserts and all sorts of stuff without ever asking. We worked on this school for autistic kids which has a little farm going with this super annoying Turkey and all these sweet chickens that have afros. We put up fence around their garden and it absolutely wrecked my hands haha. We also found a smoke machine in our apartment so we hot boxed the place and the fire alarms started to go off so we were pulling them off the wall and shoving them under the couch cushions hahaha. We were trying to make a video for our Facebook page and they wanted me to do a handstand in it, I just went for it and my hand slipped on the carpet and I dropped hard on the top of my head in front of my comp and like 6 sisters. My face was super red and I thought my neck was broken. We watched a movie called Mully as well and it is one of the most amazing movies ever about this guys faith in God. Guy changes Africa. That's about all I got hahaha have an amazing week :) 

First Couple of Days

I honestly keep forgetting that I'm on the mission it's really funny. I like walk past a mirror and see the name tag and I think what the heck am I doing hahaha. Its been pretty crazy. I am the only new missionary everyone else is reassigned from some insane missions. Everyone has been cool and my companion is the real deal. Hes our ZL so weve been going nonstop. My first day we went and did 7 hours of service at horses for healing which was mostly cleaning horse stalls and weed whacking 75 acres of property. They had some mini donkeys there which were sweet. We live in an apartment that's pretty nice and its full of Indians which is funny cuz they try really hard to avoid us. We connected to our neighbors bluetooth speaker and started blasting a church talk on accident at like 7 am, we were trying to connect to our own speaker but we started to be hear it coming from beneath us super loud haha. The ward is super good with missionary work and with feeding us. We teach multiple families over zoom every night as well as teaching a couple of younger dudes. They ask questions that I wasnt even close to thinking about when I was around their age. They are nice guys. We drive a pretty sweet mini van everywhere we go. The only one in the mission haha but it's a tank. This is a different mission for sure though. Like I said we do a lot of service but we are also allowed to go around and tract in regular clothes with no name tag once a week all day and just different things like that they test out here. Pretty weird but will be a nice change up if we ever get to go out ever again because of this virus. Anyways have a good week :) and help the missionaries in your area have people to teach.
