Last Days in Tennessee

 How the weeks continue to fly by I don't know, and so much happened this past week too! Before transfers we visited almost every member in the ward so Elder Larsen could say his goodbyes, he's going to miss this place for sure. It was great to see everyone at transfers but also sad as many of those who have been in my past districts went home. We got a couple new guys into the Farragut ward as we went back to Pellissippi and they are settling in great with all the member meals and such. They took our car for that day so I really got the mission experience working on bikes. I absolutely loved it as we trekked across the whole area visiting with people and sharing lessons. It is quite the different feel as we worked hard physically to get to someone and share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, pretty cool stuff, although my bottom would not agree.

We had the opportunity to serve some members through some yard work which was a blast as the Tennessee rains poured down. The member was surprised how fast we were to jump on his call to help him out but we had some time and got to it.

Along with member work we were invited to play some ultimate frisbee with some members and their non-member friends from work. Little did I know I would be defending an All-American sprinter from BYU Sister McClerkin. I mean we still won but my ankles hurt. That same day we were invited by someone who we've been messaging on Facebook to play some pickleball. An easy old person sport right? Wrong, I got destroyed by 80 year old Ruth. The guy who invited us was a professional and taught me the ways, I understand pickleball is legit game now, don't underestimate the elderly at the local rec.

I ended my week getting the single dose vaccine and overcoming the side affects as best I could. Just some headaches, soreness, and chest pain but nothing too crazy. I'm looking forward to this week as I prepare for Perú and say my goodbyes to the vehicles and hot showers. Truly thankful for my time here, quite the experience. Chao!
