Hey everyone!
Hope you guys are doing well! We've had a pretty good week. Elder Makaukane heads back to Hawaii in 10 days
so I've been having to work a lot harder to know where everything is,
and how everything works really fast since I'll be taking over the area
when he's gone...so yeah that's stressful but it'll be fine.
We
had some solid lessons this week which is always awesome. One thing
that happened a bunch this week is getting referalls, setting up
appointments, having to get a man to come with us if it's a girl
(missionaries aren't allowed to teach women unless there is a man in the
house) and then show up and they aren't there...so that's always fun
but I guess you can't win em all.
Yesterday
we were able to go get pizza with the Bills (senior missionary couple
who are awesome) and that was super fun to be able to get out for a bit.
We also got to go into a different part of Philly where there are
actually white people, and there weren't gangs all around, it was super
weird. Then we went back to our place that night and realized how ghetto
our area is.
Fun
fact I realized when you have a companion who is going home soon it's
actually pretty nice cuz then all of a sudden everyone wants to feed
you, and that's so sweet cuz we like never get fed out here, but we've
been getting fed a ton recently, and by a ton I mean like 3 times but
that's way more than we usually get fed, but we got more dinner
appointments this week!
I
got to confirm Isatu today! Usually they have the Elder that didn't do
the baptism do the confirmation, but since Elder Makaukane is going home
he let me do it, so that was awesome, I love Isatu she's such a solid
girl in the gospel. I also met a crazy lady today on the trolley, she
was just going on about how she was homeless, and she was gonna hunt me
down and fight me (she's like 75 years old and 5'2) I was just laughing
and trying to be missionary like, but that was a fun experience.
We
had a solid Halloween, we were gonna have some guys over and eat Oreos
and milk but they had to stay home for some reason, so Elder Makaukane
and I just read scriptures, ate Oreos, watched conference talks, and
slept from 6:00
(when we had to be in) until we went to sleep for the night. I miss and
love you guys and I know that the church is true, it's blessed me more
than I can say and I know it always will and I know it can bless
everyone as well. Love y'all!
-Elder Carlson
