Family and Friends,
Well hello! How are Y'all
doing? So I'll talk a little about our week. We had to move to a new apartment
that hadn't had missionaries in it for at least 8 months. So me and my new
companion, Elder Claridge, get to the apartment and it was a pretty big mess!
Lots of stuff lying around, no light bulbs worked, etc. Well to make it all the
better, we go to use the bathroom and it got backed up for no reason. So we try
to move some water from the toilet over to the shower so we can plunge it, but
then we realized that our shower didn't drain! We started plunging our shower
and this really gross brown water and lots of hair started coming up. After
doing that for a while we finally called someone in and they were working on it
the whole day and night. So we didn't have a toilet or shower for our first day
in this new apartment. Luckily now we got everything squared away!
Oh also my new address is:
Elder Harrison Adams
456 F Cox Landing
Newport News, VA 23608
A little bit about my
new companion. His name is Elder Claridge. He is from Mesa, Arizona. And we get
along really well. He loves sports. Was a quarterback in high school, played
soccer, and ran track. He also wants to be a nuclear physicist. Needless to say,
we have a lot in common. Also, a fun fact about him, he knows literally
everything there is to know about Star Wars!
This week the
Hernandez had a birthday party and they invited us over for food and cake. We
had sopa de siete mares and it was the hottest thing I have eaten on my
mission! All the Hispanics there were crying from how hot it was, so you can
imagine how bad it was for a gringo like me! But it was super good. It had
crab, scallops, clams, shrimp, and octopus in it. We also had some really good ceviche
and pastel.
As for this week,
we've done a lot of knocking doors. Our area got shortened quite a bit and it's
been hard to get people to teach. And most of the people we taught before were
single woman or the husband was working during the day. Now that there are two
of us we can only enter the house if there is a third male, which there rarely
is during the day.
So the work has been
pretty hard this week! Lots of walking. Lots of hard work. And sometimes that's
what we need in life. What I've found on my mission, is that hard work can
solve any problem. Whether it be a problem with a relationship, a financial
problem, or a spiritual problem. If we put in our part and do all we can, then
of course God is going to step in and help us out! He loves us, and would do
anything to see us happy. So long as it is within His will and we do our part.
I love being a missionary, and sharing the gospel. It's the best thing in the
world!
Love Y'all!
Elder Adams
