B-day serving the Lord

So highlight of this week was definitely turning 20 but also being
able to spend my birthday serving the Lord. The best birthdays of my
life have been these past two were I didn't think of myself once and
just got to serve others the entire day. No better feeling then
serving on your birthday!

Well this week has been fun! I went on exchanges with an Elder who has
been out one transfer longer than me so we are definitely old guys out
here. But his name is Elder English and he is an awesome dude! We had
a good time on exchanges. We tracked down some less-actives and almost
every single one just said please never stop by again but in nice and
not nice ways so it made it easy to know not to knock on those doors
again. Hahaha

We got to give service for this old lady that lived in a farm and I
smelled horse poop for the first time in a long time and it made me so
happy! I know that sounds weird but I kinda missed that smell! It made
me feel like I was home! Haha but we just helped her get her garden
ready and also took care on cleaning out her barn so it was fun!

We also just were told that we will be getting a car for a single
purpose to get to church and get to Book of Mormon class. We have been
struggling to get to those places because no one can really give us
rides and the buses don't always run. So we are getting a car but are
still walk Elders. So that should be fun!

Last night we were walking in a place called Moxham and this guy sees
us and he yells at us to keep walking. So Elder Swisher being Elder
Swisher stops looks at the guy and says why?! He looks at me and
starts going off about how he does not like Jehovah Witnesses and I
looked at him and said we are not Jehovah Witnesses. He stopped and
was in shocked and replied well who are you I yelled Mormons! He just
looked at me and said same thing now get out of here! So my companion
now wanting to be obnoxious starts telling him the differences and
this guy actually warmed up to us and just had a nice conversation.
But that kills me it's like bro we aren't even close to your house or
looking in your direction and you yell at us to keep walking obviously
he wanted our attention. Hahaha well he got it and more!

That was just about my week! Thanks for all your love and support!
Peace out till next week!
