Week 10 -"Keep it Krisp Kansas City"

Hey everyone! 

So change of plans hahah I ended up getting reassigned to Independence Missouri. Of course it happened to be right after I sent the email last week saying I'm going to Hong Kong so sorry about the false news I like to keep you all on your toes.

Anyways its been great here. Got off the plane and all I saw was snow and no mountains its so flat you can see forever. We got picked up by President Love and his wife and the AP's in a big white van it was awesome, reminded me of home with my boys in Big White. We then went to Liberty jail and went through the tour and everything. Super spiritual and amazing experience. Then went to the mission home and got settled in.

We slept there that night. Then woke up drove to Independence and went to transfers. Met my companion Elder Rich from Woodscross Utah. He's great! Except he really likes to get me to skip meals for some reason not sure why. Maybe he is tryna get me on some weight loss program or something.

We are in Kansas City. Everyone has been telling me this is the very best area in the mission. It mainly is just the hood and I mean THE HOOD, kind of scary but it's cool! After getting unpacked we went straight into a lesson with a guy named Darrell. We ended teaching his girlfriend Kris, and nephew Karan. We were in their house which smelt like pure cigarettes. Partly because it had a bowl of cigarette buds in the middle of the table we were at.

We had a great lesson taught about the restoration and the plan of Salvation which was great. They had lots of questions and were really receptive the spirit was so strong, I finally felt like a missionary. We gave them a book of Mormon so we will see how that goes.

We taught lots of other lessons this week and went to a big outside mall and approached people shopping and tried showing the light the world videos. We got rejected a ton, not a lot of people liked us hahah. But it was a great opportunity for practice for Hong Kong and great learning experience. And we were able to share the video a couple times which was good. 

Finally on Sunday which was our special Christmas meeting we were able to have 5 investigators come with us which was awesome. One of them was an older lady named Willow who goes to a lutheran church. She said she would come to our church  if we went to hers, so we did  and it was interesting but a cool experience. After I left that church and went back to our church I felt at home. Thank goodness I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. Sorry the email was so long, a lot happened in the last 2 weeks.  Hope everyone has a good week and a very Merry Christmas!
