Week 8 Colly Creek

Oi! Tudo Bem!? How have you guys been? 

It has been a really good week and it has flown by! So fast! But its been good. We had a few dinner appointments this week. They were all with hispanic families. So my spanish has been getting better. Portuguese is at a stand still, or at least it feels like it. Maybe I'll start saying "Hola, Como le va?" I don't  know if that is right, but that is what I was told by Elder Lloyd and Cherrington and their spanish textbook. 

We have still been teaching a lot of people, but we have also had a lot of appointments that canceled! Yesterday we had like 6 appointments, and 3 of them canceled. But we still manage to stay busy. We do a lot of contacting people and tried to find service opportunities, but have found very little. 

Connie is doing great. She has a strong testimony and still deathly afraid of covid. Jeff Ard was hard to get in contact this week. And ya boy brandon was pretty great. We had a long conversation with him and it was pretty good. Please pray for all of these people to draw closer to Christ. 

We also did a cooking with missionaries! We learned how to make fry bread! It didn't turn out great and there was lots of smoke. But it tasted good. 

Today for our p-day (preperation day- a day to get ready for the rest of the week and to be a tourist/have fun in your city) we got together with our district! We played volleyball beach volleyball! On a sand court. It was really fun! It ended when our district leader (DL) whispered to me "I'm going A1" and then turned around to try to spike the ball and pulled a Scott Sterling! He jumped to spike it and jumped straight into the ball. With his face. It was pretty great. He got a nose bleed, and we tried to find something to plug it in the park, so we were running around a park barefoot(cause we were playing in sand) and I am sure it was a site to see. I personally loved it, but I didn't have a bloody nose. Hahaha. We then went to the zoo. Most of the animals were asleep or nowhere to be found. The zoo seemed empty of animals. Probably the most interesting thing was a flying beetle that surprised some missionaries. It was not in an exhibit though. That was it. It was a super fun day overall. And the zoo was great. 

So a great scripture that I read this week was 3 Nephi 11:10-11. I love how Christ refers to himself as the light and the life of the world. I know that when I turn to Christ I can feel His love for me. It sometimes only takes saying a simple prayer, or reading the scriptures. He will give us light and life in this ever darkening and heavier world. 

And now it is time for pictures! Woohoo! I think that they are pretty blurry but 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

1. Elder Lloyd and the fried bread. Final product! 
2. Me playing a game with matt during our call earlier today. 
3. Our district with the ZL's at the zoo! There was a monkey big chilling on the hood of the truck we are in.
4. The rest of the pictures are animals at the zoo! The tiger in Topeka was not nearly as good as Mike down in Baton Rouge(obviously) hahaha 

With much Love! Also sorry for the late email. Hopefully it will be earlier next week.
