Well I forgot to
mention in my last email that I would be getting a new companion, Elder Gibb.
We have been together since last Wednesday, and we have a blast! He really
likes basketball and played for American Fork on their team. Although sometimes
it's not fun playing basketball with him because he just drains every shot
haha. It's fun if he's on my team.
Some other....not so
exciting news. Last Tuesday we found out that we had bedbugs in the apartment.
And lo and behold, the ones we were caught were all full of blood. I'm just
praying that it was my companion they got, not me. But Rid-a-Pest came this
week and superheated our house to get rid of them. It was fun because one of
the ward missionaries, Ricardo Rubio, works for Rid-a-Pest and he was the one
assigned to our house. But it was a pain, because we had to remove everything
from our house that would be damaged by extreme heat. We had to wash and
launder all of our clothes, sheets, and every article of clothing that we had.
After we had to remove all flammables, pressurized cans, and other items
similar to those from our apartment. It was a day of work, that's for sure.
Finally though, Friday night, we were able to unpack and put all of our things
back in the apartment. The bad thing is that when we went in our apartment it
was still at 96 degrees so we were sweating like hogs!
Alex had his
baptismal date planned for this Saturday. He had his interview and passed. But
we might need to push the baptism back a little due to some legality issues.
Hopefully it all gets resolved soon and we can still have the baptism this Saturday,
but if not it's okay. I know that things will work out on the Lord's time.
This week has been a
little tough. We've been trying to find new people to teach so we've knocked on
a lot of doors. I really like knocking on doors because that's what me and my
trainer did all day long, and I haven't done it for a while. But at the same
time that's usually when you meet some really rude people. Luckily we did have
quite a bit of success. We met a man named Eric. He's from Mexico, and he was a
Seventh Day Adventist. But the church is too far away for him to attend so he
is currently looking for a new church. We taught him the restoration and the
Spirit was really strong throughout the whole lesson. I can see things going
well with him in the future.
Little things like
that have really picked me up during the week. But nothing picks me up more
than getting mail and encouragement from Hannah!
I really like it here
with Elder Gibb. He just came from Nags Head and tells me a lot of cool stories
about the area. Hopefully at one point in my mission I will get to serve there.
The work here really is rolling forward. I know I can't do it alone. Luckily
though I have a great companion and my Father in heaven that always have my
back. Love you all.
-Elder Adams
