The littlest of things go a long way for me as I get to talk with Aiden, a 9 year old genius for an hour. This lesson with him and his grandma Vicky was great. We were on exchanges with the Zone leaders and I was with Elder Moe, a friend from back home, so it was great to talk with him and throw the football around. He was reassigned from Mexico and now we're here in a trailer park both struggling to teach in English. It went great though as little Aiden was quoting scriptures like John 3:16 to us. At 9 years old I think the only thing I had memorized was the McDonald's menu, the kid's a stud! Still not an easy task as they weren't able to make it to church yesterday, but we'll keep at it. On the other side of the exchange we got a lady on date for baptism, so truly an empowering day.
That same day we met a dude I've been talking to on Facebook. He works at Taco Bell so I suggested we meet there before he heads in for work, and to grab some tacos of course. Tyler is a super nice guy and accepted a Book of Mormon for us so I'm looking forward to get back to him.
Another thing we did this week was help some elderly members move furniture which is a missionary's specialty. My back is a little sore but I'm young so no complaining. They took us out to eat in person which is the first time some members have done that here besides dropping off gift cards so that was nice. In our motel the mold in the shower is getting everywhere so we talked to the front desk and we think we'll just move to the next room over or something.
District council went well and we discussed our progress and goals, mine being to love the people around me more. A better attitude comes when we shoot for kindness and accept others as they are. For Pday I think we're going to hit up the giant Bass Pro Shop store across the street, really getting into the whole southern vibe. Love your neighbor a little extra this week, cuidense!!
