What a week. We had lots of random things happen to us this
week.
First, i went on an exchange with an Elder from Hong Kong.
His accent was super funny. Good times.
Wednesday was the wettest day ever for us. It rained super
hard all day. By the end of the night both of my coats and pairs of shoes were
soaked. It took 5 days for my shoes to dry out. #fail. There is another massive
rain storm coming this thursday. Pray for me. The storms have brought some
intense fog though which has made biking mystical.
We had dinner with a family this week that spend the whole
night on their phones. It was sad. Every member of the family was hanging out
on their facebook/snapchat/instagram/vine/twitter/everything else there is
since i have been gone. Dont do that kids.
We helped a family move this week. It was filthy. Urine
soaked mattresses and blankets. Nasty. Also they were smoking Weed the whole
time. I felt like i was going to die.
We were biking down the sidewalk the other day. We saw a
little old lady with 3 little dogs barking at the big black dog of another
lady. I was thinking to myself, "this isnt going to end well.." Sure
enough the big dog got loose and attacked the little old lady and her dogs. We
jumped off our bikes, contained all 4 dogs, and saved the little old lady. I
have always wanted to do that. I felt like a champion.
Some people think we come out to convince people to come to
our church so we can have more numbers on sunday. We are out here to help
people change their lifestyle so they can have the happiness and blessing that
come from it. As people align their entire life with the teachings of the
gospel of Christ the joy, happiness, blessings, and miracles come naturally. We
are living in a way that prepares us to live with our Father in Heaven, our
brother Jesus Christ, and our families for eternity. How amazing is that? I
love this gospel.
I hope you all embrace this Christmas season. It is an
amazing time of year.
Love you all,
Elder Gage Black
