For whatever reason, all
of the cars out here are dying for whatever reason. Either they're
getting transferred out of our zone or there have been minor crashes
that do a ton of damage somehow and completely cripple the car. So we've
been on bikes again. It's not been too bad, but we have to cover two
areas, so there's been a whole lot of biking all over Raleigh. My legs
have never been more sore. And it turns out that my bike was actually
damaged in the crash that sent trainer #1 home. My rear derailleur is
pretty badly bent, so I need to fix that too. It kind of works, but it's
threatening to pop off at any moment. Hopefully I can spend some time
working on that today.
In terms of the work, it's been a
little frustrating. Our boundaries have already changed once, so we got
an investigator from the Zone Leaders, but they're changing again so
we're losing them again. Also, our most promising investigator was super
drunk when we last met with him. We ended up switching our lesson plan
to the Word of Wisdom, but he didn't want to talk with us because our
Spanish wasn't good enough for him while he was drunk, so he spent the
entire lesson interrogating the member we had with us. He was asked how
old he was, where he was from, and a few other questions. The big
problem was that he couldn't remember what he'd asked, so he did it over
and over again. We set another appointment, and hopefully he'll be
sober for that. Other than that, it's been a ton of knocking doors. We
spent six hours knocking doors on Saturday, and only 5 people opened the
door. None of them wanted to listen. However, yesterday, we decided to
try a potential who wasn't there for their return appointment, and we
found them home with another six people who all wanted to listen! It was
super awesome, and we got to teach them all. Hopefully they'll all be
progressing well.
I think this is all the news for the week, so have a good one everyone!
Actually, with my MTC companion, we were in the same district. So we saw
each other a lot. We've joked that we might be serving our entire
missions around each other. Anyways, we're going to figure out who our
new companions are tomorrow. I think that they intentionally have PDay
as the day before transfers so the family is in the dark for a week
before they get to find out who their missionary is with. It's been fun
in the trio, but it's also made me have a very strange start to the
mission. By the time I get out of training, I'll be on companion #4 in
my third transfer. I'll also have had two trainers, and a "brother" in
the mission in two transfers. Not the normal start. All I know right now
transferwise is that I am leaving the Raleigh zone, but I don't know
where to or who I'll be with. So hopefully I can tell all that next
week. It's got to be fun with the other car down and so many places to
go. We have that same problem here. For whatever reason, all of the cars
out here are dying for whatever reason. Either they're getting
transferred out of our zone or there have been minor crashes that do a
ton of damage somehow and completely cripple the car. So we've been on
