Wednesday we had interviews in Salina which meant leaving
the house at 7:30 to make it there by 9. It wasn't too bad driving that early.
Interviews were super great. I accidently deleted all of my notes from it
though :( I do remember we talked about determination and grit. We also got
Little Caesars since Salina is the closest one. It was some good pizza.
Thursday I was very grateful for police officers. We were
helping some lady change her tire, and all we had was a little jack, but this
officer showed up with a floor jack, so we were able to get her car jacked up
real quick and the tire changed in no time!
Friday we had our ward Christmas party which was nice. I was
hoping to get some investigators there, but none came. Who doesn't want free
food and a message about Jesus? Oh well, their loss and more food for the
hungry missionaries.
Saturday was a sad day. We kept trying to visit with Brian
who we had put on date earlier in the week, and he sent us a text saying he was
going to keep going to his church because his mom doesn't want him going to
ours. We were pretty sad. We are going to work pretty hard with his mom and
step dad to get them all to join the church.
Sunday we thought we were going to have a good amount of
people at church, but then we had 0. Sad boi hours. We'll get em next week for
sure.
Today has been pretty fun. We went around to all the thrift
stores in town looking for decorations for our second Christmas tree. We had a
tiny pink one, and then we got a bigger white one from a member here. It didn't
have lights or decorations though, so we went on an adventure. I'd say we came
out victorious as we managed to decorate this tree for about 10 dollars!
Well that's all I've got for this week. Missions are hard,
no doubt, but I don't have any regrets serving. Sure I'll be away from my
family for two years, but that is nothing compared to eternity. Some people
don't even know they can spend eternity with their families. Sad. But that's
why we're here! I love my mission and I love Kansas! It also has some pretty
baller sunsets.
Oh I almost forgot my funny story. That would've been
tragic. I found out last night that my comp sleepwalks! I was sleeping and
I woke up to him over by bed and then he said "this is my blanket
now" and then he yeeted my weighted blanket off me and threw me his
blanket and so in the morning I just waited for him to notice and he was so
confused when he found out. We laughed about that for the longest time.
Unfeignedly,
Elder Nixon
