McKaylas Mission Blog: Dog Days Already

well yall, i officially am missionary who is considered mission-old. yup its a party!! popped bike tires, people thinking you know what you are doing, nobody emails you, family members are getting married. yup these are only a few of the things that make you mission old.

hm so here is a sum up of this week

my bike tires popped lilke 20 times

we ate liver pickle soup

bike tires popped again

all our investigators are moving

its fricking hot outside

satan is a jerk

yeah, all pretty bad things right?

except for the fact that beyond all this it was really an amazing week!

we got bahamma bucks (Hawaiian shaved ice) on my hump day

so many miricles came from my bike

i also learned patience

pickle liver soup is actually pretty good once you have convinced yourself that the liver is in fact mushrooms and not a digestive organ that filters through the stuff the creature puts in

our investigators are getting to somewhere where they can be in a place where they are happy and can learn about the gospel

it may be hot but ya know its really awesome, although the breese feels like a hair dryer on our faces we are surviving, and its actually alot of fun!! and its not as bad as you think, we just drink lots of water and are always hot! and its not too bad!

satan is a jerk, but that is just proof that what we are doing makes him mad, he knows that this church is true, he knows we are bringing people to Christ and to his restored church. of course satan is going to try and fight that.

this is one thing that i have learned this week, there will always be negitives, my bike will always have troubles there will always be another obstacle or speed bump. but it fully depends on what you choose to think on. i guess i have always known that and i have always know how effective it was. now i am just learning when i center my thoughts on Christ. on my hopes and dreams and on the atonement he preformed i can find so much more peace and happiness through Christ

also, a nice jehovahs witness offered to help with our bikes, just to have us sit there as he duct tapes my tube and has his family try and convert us, then he comes in and tells us everything wrong with our religion and that he was offering to help out of obligation,

thanks man

your the best

thank you for being an outstanding human being

so yeah, it was a crazy week, that ended with us sitting at one of our relief society presidents counter eating ice cream as we text our zone leaders saying we are going to be late (because my bike tire popped again and as they picked us up my companions bike fell off their bike rack and got dragged through an intersection. but there was no major damage!! yay!!! #miricle! ) and watch her husband and our ward mission leader fix our bikes saturday night.

haha life is nuts but it is so amazing and worth it!!'
