Hey peeps hope your week was good! This was the first full week of the transfer and I'm still trying to figure out my new comp and I'm not gonna lie he is on the totally opposite side of the spectrum compared to my trainer. My trainer was good missionary but he liked to have fun and wasn't really strict the standards.  If I'm gonna be honest if you wanna have fun in a mission you gotta bend the rules just a smidge but not too much. But my new comp is 100% by the books and it was a shock having to go to him. And lately I have been super stressed because I have to be the lead comp for the area and I didn't really feel ready to lead, so that kinda has made this past week suck and has made me ready to dip out of Altantic.  But with the new transfer all the responsibility just was dumped on my shoulders but it's alright cuz we all have to do it and it will help me in the long run. Other than all that this week was ight we were able to put our friend Max on date for t...

Hey yall hope you all are doing well! As you can tell by the subject we had transfers this week and unfortunately my trainer got transferred and he got moved up to Hearon, South Dakota.  I got a new comp and his name is Elder Paxman and so far we are chill, but it's too early to tell cause he has been here for 3 days but hopefully we will be comfortable around each other and become homies.  This transfer was pretty small for our zone because we only had 3 people move, so the next transfer might be a big one for this zone, but only time can tell. Honestly nothing really happend this week besides helping Terri and knocking doors and going to peoples houses for Elder Barnes to say goodbye since he was leaving. Thank goodness that this week is going to be warm compared to the nice toasty -20 plus degree weather.  This week is going to be like 30s and 20s and when we walked outside today it actually felt warm which was weird, but can't wait for that. Also this week while we we...

Hey yall hope you all had a great week and hopefully it was warmer than mine This week has been the coldest week of weather I have ever felt in my life on Friday we got hit with a pretty bad storm and I guess it wad bad enough for our mission president to ground us and not allow us to leave our apartments and that lasted all day so it kinda sucked having to do Facebook work all day but the next day on Saturday we were allowed to go out and do our regular thing but being out there in -20 degree weather plus wind was not fun I could feel everything on my body freeze and this weather was so cold that I wae able to freeze some Ramen noodles standing upright with the fork still in it which is crazy  But anyways on Wednesday we had exchanges with our district leader and his comp which is always fun but we ended up buying those orbeez guns and had a war with them and that was super fun but hurt because those guns can shoot super hard I have been told by my mom that a lot of you wanted to ...

Hey y'all, hope you all had a great new years! Mine was alright.  News Years is honestly such a dumb holiday, but anyway. On Tuesday we had our interviews with our mission prez.  Those are always fun being able to take with el presidante mono e mono.  TBH that was really the highlight of the week because we did exchanges that day with our district leader and it was super fun. On Wednesday I don't think anything really crazy happend just the usual missionary stuff - knocking doors no body answering and getting rejected - but I will say this week probably was our most productive week.  We found 4 new people which is pretty good for the Atlantic area.  This town pretty much has a church for every single person it feels like. Thursday pretty much the same thing as Wednesday just knocking doors and talking people and helping our best friend named Terri.  I will not lie, helping her feels like we are running in circles.  Whenever we help her with this house ...

Happy new year everybody!!!! Tbh this holiday is silly because it is literally just another day but if you like then all the power to ya. Again I'll try my best to remember what happened this week. There is one thing that I can remember and that is being able to go to the temple. Just this week the winters quarter temple reopened because it was closed for a deep cleaning I guess.  We were able to go to it on Thursday which was actually super fun because is missionary were the only ones there.  I always love to go through a new temple that I've never been to.  After the temple we took a bunch of pics with everyone and went to some church building and had some food and then some of us went to a sonic to get slushies and to just hang and talk. With it being a the new years just to have a little fun since it's hard to do that as a missionary we decided to hang up some decorations that my mom sent us and some confetti balloon guns and now our apartment is covered in confetti. ...
