Home -> apartment I cry

Well I was going to write this email and say this week was pretty boring and not much happened but boy was I wrong. 
This week we had transfers on Wednesday, so Tuesday night we just thought, "Let's go get some ice cream real quick." We drove to McDonald's and then I got a message and it said I was being transferred. I didn't think at all that I would be getting transferred but plot twist, I'm out of here. I lived in the same house for only 7 weeks. I got here a little early from the MTC and made it 1 transfer and now I'm in a little apartment in Queen Creek, Arizona. It's actually not that bad. It's a lot smaller than my house and we sadly don't have a gym tho. I am with 3 new Elders I have never met before. My companion is Elder Hall. He is from Kansas has 6 brothers and loves Dungeons and Dragons. Another companion who is very different from me. I am excited to see what I learn from him and to talk about what level he is in his mind game. Exciting stuff. Maybe I will play a game with him. I will be a buzzed troll named Garthatron. I have sharpies for fingers and stain everything I touch. When I speak I yell. I know I will win Dungeons and Dragons. But now I am in a new apartment and I am not sure how long I will really be here. We have 67 new reassigned missionaries coming in this next 6 weeks. A lot of missionaries who were sent home and are being sent out now and we get 67 this transfer. This means we could be changing companions any time this transfer. Crazy. Fun stuff. 

Also this week we had to say goodbye to Elder Hunter. He was the other Elder in the house with us from American Samoa. We got  along really well and we always danced. You look at us and we are dancing. I guess you can say it's a talent of ours. Anyway he actually made it his 24 months. He had a cough so they didn't send him home and Samoa was closed so he is now being sent to Utah with his Aunt until Samoa opens back up. It was sad to see him leave. I'll miss that big huge strong boy. 

We also had the opportunity to do a couple service projects this week. We have to get them approved but it was so nice to get out of the house. I got to weed wack for like 3 hours each service and I loved it. I think I am addicted to weed wacking. If you ever need anyone to wack some weeds for you, I'm there. Just give me 2 years and I can help.

Besides that not much really happened. We were able to teach a lot of lessons to members and I was able to teach more friends. Yay for missionaries! I am also very excited to meet people in my new area and learn from this new Dungeons and Dragons man. It will be an interesting transfer that's for sure. 

I love you all quite a lot and hope you have a mega super good week. Someone eat an acai bowl for me. Thanks. I miss those. Now bye bye my fans.

อพาร์ตเมนต์นี้มีกลิ่นเหมือนโรงแรมแปลก แต่ผมคิดว่าผมชอบมัน
This apartment smells like a hotel, weird but I think I like it.

Mosiah 7:33. When you read come follow me and find a really good scripture, you happy.


RIP Elder Hunter. I will remember you, will you remember me. Good song. Always brings a tear to my eye tho.


Service. Hunter was so happy to drive that mower and I was so happy to be weed wacking and have a buzz cut cause oh boy it hot. 


We asked a member for Thai food and he hooked us up. It's like I'm in Thailand already wow. Also that member said my companion and I have the same voice. Idk if that's a compliment or what. Thanks tho.


A picture we took with a horse. Horses don't really care about anything. Like I would pet the horse and idk if he didn't feel me petting him or what he just wouldn't move or do anything. Odd animal.


We got drinks. That's about it. 


My new and improved companion. He is actually a cyborg, half man, half robot. His brain is full of cheat codes for Dungeons and Dragons. I play against him and even with my character Gartharon and I'm screwed.
