First Time Laying Cement.....

Hello, what's up?  Its pday again. Looking back the week seemed like it flew by, you'll wake up at 6:30 and then pretty soon it's already 10 pm and you're getting ready for bed.....

Last week on Tuesday we helped a member build like 20 feet of sidewalk. He had a cement truck pull up and just dump it along in the area where the side walk was being made....the truck driver dumped the cement and then just sat there watching us and it was kinda awkward because my companion and I didn't really know what we were doing, not that it's hard to shovel concrete around, but its was the member's side walk and his property, so it was kind of weird flattening it and making it all smooth cause we didn't want him to blame us when it didn't look perfect......

The rest of the week was good, had various lessons over the phone and face-time. Picked up a new investigator but not sure if she's just taking lessons to try and get free money or if she's actually interested. We got 2 investigators to come to church not for the first time, but they both hadn't gone in months....yesterday was my first time meeting the branch in person, last Sunday it was over zoom....we walk into the church building and the branch president asked if I could speak so I just introduced my self and then talked about Ether 12:27....basically it talks about how God gives us weaknesses, and he will make us strong if we humble ourselves and come unto him.....verses 4 and 6 are also fire, if you haven't read that chapter in awhile you should reread it sometime.....

I didn't say too much about my mission president last email, but basically he played college football and maybe some semi pro or something so every time he speaks to us he talks about football and how raw he was back in the day, kind of like how my dad always talks about being a pilot.....my mission president will be having a very spiritual talk and then say how much he could bench in his prime or how he could out jump all the other guys on his team lol, my companion says he needs to be more humble, but I love it, and it's awesome because I dont think he means to do it....like he just subconsciously has to always talk about his football days....

We had exchanges this week so I left my area and slept in the zone leaders house while one of them came down and stayed in my apartment with my companion....the elders room I switched with is pretty funny, he has tons of Confederate flags and belt buckles in his room and the other zone leader is black, so I wonder what was happening while all that was set up haha.....also 500 (a nic-name for another missionary) said he could have played as the snapper for the university of Utah's football team but he decided to go on a mission....not sure if that is factual...keep in mind he's 5'8 and like 170 lbs.....anyway that's all I can think of right now....adios!
