Passed Out, Woke Up On A Toilet.

This week was way fast. I don't even know what happened, but like, we did a lot of things. It was way crazy.


Well, to start off this week, we went looking for a less active on Tuesday, and it was a crazy adventure. I really had to go to the bathroom, so it was a disaster. Anyway, we found this less active, and he was really nice and sweet. He was smoking and drinking. Something really cool I've learned as a missionary is how much Christlike love you have for people. The longer I've gone on as a missionary, I've discovered how much it really matters in your heart. This guy had a pure heart, and that's all that mattered. He was just super special, and then he told us about how he plays a lot of music. I said I always wanted to learn guitar, but I am too lazy to pay to buy one. He walked inside and came out with a guitar after kindly rejecting me 10 times, asking him if he's sure, and telling him no. I ended up with a super cool guitar, and it's super special. I've been thinking a lot about the Jews in the Bible as I'm reading the New Testament right now and how they're so caught up in things that don't matter. I was reading about Jesus with the witch man and the withered hand. The Jews were freaking out way too much about the Sabbath and all the nitty-gritty, and it got me thinking a lot about us today. With things like the Word of Wisdom and stuff, and how much our church is so worried about things like that. During the Second Coming, will we be like the Jews? Because we're not so different from them. It's hard, I don't know. How do we learn to be comfortable with discomfort and change? Because we get too worried about things not changing. I mean, they have to change by authority, but like, I always wonder what would happen and how we keep this from happening to us.


We did some service this week for the people in the Toa Baja pueblo. They all paid $5, and we would fill up a shopping cart full of food. There was about $200 worth of food in each cart. It was super cool to give these people all these groceries and help them put them in their cars and talk to them. It's kinda awesome, but some of these super poor people were really ungrateful for the vegetables. I was really sad to see someone so poor be so ungrateful. It's hard. On missions, you see a lot.


The work is super good here. I'm loving my companion and my area. There's a lot to do, and we're working hard. I had Chick-fil-A again. Screw Taco Maker, Chick-fil-A is the greatest.


We did service for the lady again this week. We cut down lots of trees. I touched a thorn tree and got lots of splinters. Anyone who knows me knows how wheezy I get when I see my own blood. There were lots of splinters, and it wasn't a lot of blood, but there were little scratches of blood. I was fine, but apparently, my brain thought I wasn't. I got light-headed and basically passed out but not really. I was able to hear, I don't know. Then I was on her bathroom floor, lying by the toilet. They told me I said I was going to throw up, but I don't remember any of this. I remember when I got my blood drawn once, I would always wake up with a Sprite on my head. This is how that felt. My mom would laugh.


I love you guys. If you need anything or want a prayer, let me know. I want to hear from you guys.
