The Hood in the Middle of No Where

This week was another pretty good one!

I got my departing interview with President done which was pretty cool! It's pretty weird to be hearing President the entire mission be hyping you up to be on your mission and find the elect and work diligently and then go into this last interview and he now is hyping you up to go home and your like "no please I don't want to!" haha. It went well and it was pretty much what I had expected - are you going to keep reading your scriptures, praying, being a disciple? If I talk to you in 5 years will you still be doing it! ABSOLUTELY! that's some good stuff right there I gotta keep with me!

We continued to hit the Facebook grind and found some more new people which was sick! How cool is it that we can still teach people without never meeting them in person! "you live in Freeport, I live in Freeport, even though it might look I'm from Utah I'm not in Utah I promise."

There was one guy this week though who said he wanted a physical copy so we went and dropped on off to him. We're allowed to drop them off if they want one but just not go inside. So it was pretty cool to see a person we are teaching face to face. And even better - he lived on the east side of Freeport which we learned is the hood of Freeport! There were surprisingly a ton of abandoned houses and we were like the only white people outside! It felt like I was in Englewood again! God bless the Southside sounds like a lot of the homies left and found themselves here in the exact same situation as they were there haha.

Had some legendary lessons this week, getting some member involvement over video call and it's been awesome! I can't wait for these people to be able to meet each other in person!

Elder Young is like my favorite person on this planet I love this dude he's such a homie and we have such a good time. He's the type of homie that when we go to bed we're always just talking and laughing and telling each other stories and it's such a blast. Being in quarantine with one person creates the life long homies!

Hope everyone has an incredible week!
