Hey guys! Well to
start off, I'm in Philadelphia now! It's called Philadelphia south, so I
guess that means it's south of Philadelphia. But it is SO ghetto down
here, I've seem maybe two white people total, everyone is just standing
around smoking weed, and blasting music and whatnot. It's super cool. I
also got my new companion, his name is Elder Makakãne. He's from Hawaii,
and he's super great. He's a rugby player, so that's what the whole
zone plays every p-day. I got to meet the other guys in my district who
are also super awesome, everyone just has super chill vibes, and they're
super funny, and great. I had my first Philly cheesesteak, which was
flipping amazing! And my first full day out here, we had a referral, and
Elder Makakane told me to ask him to be baptized, so I did and he said
yes! We have some other investigators, that we haven't had the chance to
meet with but I've heard a bunch about. Also I should let y'all know
that I have a Facebook on this mission! So hmu, I'm Elder Spencer
Carlson. Also I finally am learning how to cook!! We eat and work out a
ton in my apartment, I make myself 6 eggs every morning, usually a
cheesesteak or burger for lunch, and then some fried chicken and rice
for dinner. And then if we have dinner at a members house then sweet
that's just more food! Also since Elder Makakane is a rugby player, he
needs to work out and eat that much, so I'm just kinda joining him on
that
This
church is so true y'all! It's honestly been kinda hard out here just
since it's pretty sketchy and I'm kinda worried I might get shot, but
also just a different lifestyle, but I know the reason I'm out here, and
that's to show others the light of Christ. Love y'all, and for those of
you still in high school I hope u had a dope first day!
-Elder Carlson
