WEEK 55 BACK TO THE HOMELANDS AND KARMA IS A JERK

 

Hello everybody that can hear my typing and read my lips! I'm not sure why I started out with this but, it's something my brain conjured up. Sadly I did get transferred but, there is no place I rather be transferred to then the homelands of North Las Vegas! That's right I'm back in the hood! The land of drugs, the land of biking, the land of promise, the land of abandoned walmarts because they were too dangerous! I'm in the Gateway ward which is one of the most desired English areas in the whole mission because it's filled with humble people and work to be done! We even have 3 companionships in the ward there is so much work to do.

There are a lot of Spanish speakers too that we "talk" to. The reason I put parenthesis around talk is because we try to talk to them but, my new companion Elder Russell and I are called Spanish but, never been in any Spanish areas so it's like a dog and a cat trying to communicate with each other so it doesn't really work. There was this one Cuban lady and we couldn't understand her at all. It was crazy we kind of felt stupid after. It was funny though!

Now time to talk about karma. I was talking with my new comp Elder Russell and I told him I never have been sick on the mission before and the next day I was sick with a cold. Karma is basically the biggest jerk ever. We still did missionary work but, I sound pretty stupid with a mask on and my stuffy nose. 

I have basically had a car my whole mission but, now I'm back to biking every day to get places and it's been really fun. It would be more fun if I wasn't sick. It's funny to see all the homeless dudes cruising around on their bikes. There are so many people in the teaching pool. My companion and I are both new to the area so we been calling and setting up lessons with all these people who we have no idea about. There is probably about 30 plus people that were being taught by the missionaries pretty recently. It's crazy. We talk to a lot of drunk people on the streets and it's really fun. We talked to this one person about Adam and Eve and he said that Adam and Eve weren't the first people on the earth and that there were aliens first and how it was scientifically proven. I was thinking about being straight up with him and saying that's just completely wrong and that there is no scientific evidence. I constrained though. The things people believe these days.

I'm loving it up here in the North! It's the place to be and it borders my first area which is lit! My companion is dope and is half Native American so we don't just look like 2 white boys walking around. Anyways love you all a lot and don't believe everything you read on the internet and ask God instead! Love you bye!
