hey fam
well if you want to know where i am you will just have to wait for
pictures , just think about golf, elder cardon and the masters, yeah
lets just say im pumped, i have the entire agusta georgia stake as my
area and yes that includes the agusta national golf course, we actuall
have two investigators and some leads that leave really close, we have
driven past the gates to get in like 5 times already, but the whole
course is so tree covered, especially the borders of the property , its
to the point that i cant even see a square inch unless i trespass, and
lets just say i might have to break the law on my mission haha, all i
can see from the gate magdolena lane, and the yellow flowers in the
shape of america with the green flag where agusta is, lets just say the
lord knows me, the ,masters is coming up here soon and i will be here!
me and elder billings are going to take what we call a faith walk( we
will walk magdolena lane on pday and pray a member or some saint sent
from god gives us tickets to watch the practice round, it would be a
dream come true. elder billings is awesome, im backup training him, hes
having a hard time with the language but i dont blame him, learning the
language is hard in the states and i was lucky enough to have hispanic
friends and experiences before my mission to get a head start. agusta is
a branch and its awesome we have about 50 active members and i already
know them all, its quite awesome actually the branch is like a tight nit
family even though the members are so spread out through all of the
steak, me and elder billings just got permission to sleep in the english
elders apartments where were working because we can only have so many
miles and our work is so spread out because of the lack of hispanics,
theres alot les hispanics here then there is in north charleston alone
but im still greatful and excited to be here, especially the branch,
honestly having church in spanish with just hispanics for all three
hours is so legit, real fellowship can happen, between the members and
the investigators.
elder billings is from st george, hurrican actuall, but he loves
golf and basketball and sports just like me, and hes alot like perkins
actually, anyways were good friends and its going to be a good transfer.
the first night we were here we were tracting in a trailer park and
talking to some hispanics and right after we got rejected some black
kids from down the street started yelling at us and we could not
understand a single word they said, and yes it was english, just aweful
english haha anyways we ignored it at first cuz this is not uncommon and
then we finally understood that he said
" i bet yall caint pay ball wort notin" to say the least
we played them in two on two, three games in a row we won and then they
finally gave up haha black boy basketball will never beat fundamentals,
anways they then asked us what church were from and what we were doing
in georgia, we then explaned we were mormons and they had no clue what
that ment so we just told them were the same religion as jimmer
freddette, and they then nodded there heads and said , oh so thats why
yall can play so good, haha anyways it was fun but we need to teach them
with there parents or it wont be worth the baptism they would just go
inactive.
anyways im doing good , god loves me, and knows me, i will be here for
the masters and my birthday, and elder cardon is here too , and i have
permission to sleep in his apartment, and we will probably go on
exchanges so, basically a dream come true, we will probably play ball
with them today, anyways i love you guys keep it cool in hawaii for me, i
hate you, thats not cool
