Labor Day🫨

Hey guy! This week has felt so long. But, it's been so rewarding. I was sick for almost the whole week, but I kept going and that was so rewarding.    Fyi: A year ago today I got stranded on the lake in a jet ski in a windstorm.    We had a Zone Council meeting on Tuesday where we met up with the whole zone in ATL. It was sad bc my twin got transferred. But overall a really good meeting.    Also went on an exchange with the zone leaders! Elder Stika came here to Mableton with me. Mid   We had an amazing lesson with our friend December. She is legit. We talked about the Word of Wisdom with her and the next day she threw away all of her smoking stuff! Now every time she gets the craving she's gonna call us and we finna read the Word.    One of the most rewarding parts of this week was finally getting in contact with someone who had a past baptismal date. They were dropped for "unable to contact" BUT WE GOT IN CONTACT🦅   We did some fun se...

Mableton Part 2

Hey guys! It's been a good week. My comp and I are still together in Mableton. It's going to be a good transfer!    We got a new elder in the apartment and also 4 new sisters in our district. Hopefully, they are as fun as the sisters last transfer.    This week we had some interesting interactions. One day this guy was trying to bash us and we just said okay and he wasn't happy about it. He was talking about how he sees aliens and how his friend was lifted by them. Very interesting.    Today we went to the aquarium again. It was so fun. The only thing that made it super fun was the dolphin show. The last time we went to the dolphin show it was more educational. This time there was music playing, trainers everywhere, and dolphins flying in the air. It was so Insane. We also sat in the splash zone because the last time there were no splashes. Holy we got so soaked it was so fun. Go watch the video in the pics.    Sorry this is sent so late. This wee...

Seaweed and Teslas

Hey guys! This week has been good and bad.  This was the last full week before transfers. We get transfer news on Tuesday! Also, my new favorite thing rn is choosing random missionaries and sending my email to them just bc I'm bored.    We went on exchanges this week. I went to Mableton 3s area with Elder Berrett. It was very fun. We just talked about random things. We have the same sense of humor so it was very funny. We also went to an Asian supermarket and it was awesome. They had such cool things for so cheap. Tried some spicy seaweed. It was gross.  Valid exchange frl.    A bad part of our week was that Marlo, one of our most progressing friends, got a new job and works every Sunday. So now he can't come to church anymore which sucks. But he said he still wants to meet with us, so that's lit.    Elder Berrett and I talk about Tesla all the time. Well, we were at a church for a church tour and there was a member there with a Tesla. So while we...

Aquarium

what's up fam   This week has been good. I can't really remember half of it but I think it was chill.    We put 2 people on date for baptism. We might need to take one off bc she is lowkey crazy.    Today we went to the aquarium and are now headed to pickleball. The aquarium was lit. I saw my friend who worked at the CFA in Americus. Shoutout Arianna‼️ We also got into the aquarium for free because a family in the ward gave us 6 free aquarium passes. So that was fun.    Not really sure what else to talk about...   Love and miss you guys!

Drug Deal in ATL

Hey guys!   This week has been very good! It has gone by super fast and has been sooo funny. Something happened every day, so I'm gonna do the lame format and give you a day-by-day.    We had zone council on Tuesday in Atlanta, and that was chill. Saw my twin and also found out that sister missionaries in my zone know my cousins? Not sure how they didn't connect the last names? Ig Clayburn is common?   Then on Wednesday, we had to get new tires and also get the car fixed. The condensation tube got loose and leaked in our car. While we were at the dealership, we did our studies, but we felt like we were being too loud, so we went to a powersports dealership next door to comp study. It was sweet. Walking it brought so many memories from last summer. I miss working at the dealership🥲   On Thursday, the only thing that happened was I ragebaited my whole apartment. I asked them, "What do you call a hamburger with no buns? Snoop Dog."  They did not like the...
