The Road to Isengard

I don’t know when this email will send since I am having some internet issues but first I have to apologize for not sending an email last week. I know that you all are understanding and some of you may know that there are not enough chapters in the Lord of the Rings to send an email with a chapter name on it every week for two years. However, if I add the title of the Hobbit and its chapters I’ll have a little over 50 chapters left to title my emails. Still not enough to send an email every week but if I miss one here and there, there will be just enough. And if I am really good at sending an email every week I can just start sending chapters of the Silmarillion!

Now with that out of the way we can look back to the past two weeks…

At the beginning of last week I went on exchanges in Morgan City with Elder Fatiaki. Morgan City doesn’t have a washer and dryer so they do laundry at a member’s house. So we had to stop by the members house throughout the day to switch laundry and one of the times we stopped by, the member asked if we could help them with some technology they had. Since this member wasn’t very good at technology.

I have to interrupt the story here to thank my dad for letting me watch and explaining what he was doing when I was younger as he helped others with their computer problems.

So I helped this member make some shortcuts for some of the apps on their computer, connect their computer to the printer, their phone to the printer, and the phone and computer to each other. The member really needed the help and I was the only one who could help, so I know that exchanges are an amazing experience because on exchanges somebody’s life is going to be altered for good! That person may be you, your companion, or someone who you meet randomly on the street!

We had DC on a Friday because we had our PPI’s which was interesting but I really enjoyed it because President Smuin is a cool dude. He gave me and Elder Wight a mission to find something for him so I’ll tell you guys if we find it.

I cut my own hair this week because I felt like the sides were getting long (and because mom commented on it) but I think it turned out pretty good but I may have someone else cut the back because I cant see back there.

So, I have spent 9 months in the south and this week was my first time visiting a Waffle House and I gotta say, it was pretty good, I enjoyed it!

For P-Day this week we went to Top Golf so that was pretty cool and did pretty well. In the two games we played I got first and second which was good considering it was my first time.

While we were at Walmart we ran into a guy that Elder Wight had met before in a previous transfer that believed that he traveled to different planets. It was a really weird conversation.

Transfer news dropped so we found out that Elder Wight is Leaving to the area of Bastrop/Monroe and I am getting another “W” companion Elder Witbeck!

May the Wind be in your sails
And the Currents in your favor
May Luck be with you
And your fortunes be bright
May the Light of Christ be in your heart
And the Power of God in your efforts
(Especially you Elder Walker! Congrats)
