Hey Y'all! Transfers were this last week! Got a new companion! Elder
Stilson from Pleasant Grove Utah! He is a bit odd. haha. He means really
good though. He checks the phone like my Mother. I'll read him the
conversation WORD FOR WORD and he still checks it. It makes me laugh. We
hit a rough spot on Thursday and so last night we talked for about 2
1/2 hours together so we could get to know each other a lot better. Just
talk about everything. So that we can become the best set of
missionaries in the Macon Georgia Mission!!
But all we've done this week is go knocking. It's
annoying. We've knocked SO many houses, with a couple potentials that
end up not even being interested. Pisses me off. UGH.
But Every one that says "I already know Jesus, so I'm good" I
always reply with "WOW! ISN"T HE THE BEST!!??" Lol :) It's fun to talk
to people about faith. It's only awkward if you make it I figured out.
But I'm still shy at first.
Momma K took us to olive garden and I tried Shrimp! It was good. But of course it was covered in seasonings and other crap. lol
CONFERENCE
WAS AWESOME!! I think my favourite talk was my Russel M. Nelson! Man,
what a talk. Go listen to it!! But we stayed at the church all day
Saturday and Sunday. In between sessions, we played volleyball and I
ripped a pair of pants. lol. I sewed it up to the best of my ability
though :) So I hope it holds. hahaha
My knee has been hurting a lot this last week so Momma
K gave me a bunch of essential oils to help me out and it's definitely
been a blessing :) That entire family brightens up my day any time of
the day :)
One thing I noticed that I've changed about since
being on my mission is that I definitely recognize blessings a lot more.
and I state it too! haha :) It makes you feel very grateful and you
notice how well Heavenly Father cares and loves you. He pours out
blessings to His children, so I encourage you all to try and notice
blessings and state them too :) You'll definitely feel a lot more
grateful :)
love always, Jacob :)
