Yes, it's true. I've reached 200 full days of missionary service. That's weird. To commemorate such an occasion, I took a totally real picture of me in a party hat celebrating. #nofilter


In other news, me and Elder Maxwell are having a great time! We've even got little in joke characters and stuff now! This week the work finally started picking up, and all of our hard work finally paid off! We have 3 new investigators this week. And because it's been a kind of dead area since before Elder Lock (my last companion) got here, this is a miracle. It was an absolute blast. Our first one is Ty. He loves movies and Star Wars. Like, he obsessively loves Star Wars. It's like me and Pokémon, but only with Star Wars. He's super interested in learning, and he accepted a Book of Mormon! After a long day if tracting, and lots of rejections, Ty was the very last door we tried, which I know is completely cliché, but that's how it happened so believe to achieve I guess.

The other ones include a girl with ADHD, which if you didn't know is what I have, and she's a blast! She looses focus on a dime that's been cut in half, so lessons can be a bit hard but she's really.... Wait.. What was I talking about again?

Oh yeah! Our third new investigator is named Chaz. He's like the most built 18 year old I've ever seen in my life. He could snap me in half if he wanted! But seriously though, he's super chill and I like him a lot.

I know that's not a large enough email for you though, so let me tell you something fun to end it that has to do with Japanese! Hooray!

While tracting this one lady opened the door and said, "ah, sorry, no speak english" and I asked if she spoke Japanese, and from there she said yes, but that she did not believe in Jesus, and then she slammed the door. I didn't think Japanese people slammed doors, but this one sure did! Boy was that great!

... I'm exhausted this week.

But I'll talk to you all next week with more updates! Happy trails! And here's to another 200!
