This week has been a killer week out here in Fort Stockton!! It's crazy how you can start to love this place more and more the longer you live here and serve the people here!!
So last monday the Elder from Alpine came up on Pday so we could have a Nerf War and actually hang out with other missionaries!! When you get 4 missionaries together with nerf guns running around an apartment... things get a little intense haha!! We were in the middle of a crazy game and Elder Brower started sprinting at Elder Chicoski because he was reloading and Elder Brower jumped to knock the door open and not get shot! But instead he knocked himself out on the door frame haha it was hilarious!!!! He was out at like 20 seconds... and he scalped the hair off his head and now has a scab about the size of a quarter!!😂 So that was the start of our week!! This week we also had 2 exchanges. Since elder Brower is the District Leader we go on exchanges with the Zone leaders and also all the Elders in our District. So on Wednesday we went up to Odessa to be with the Zone leader! I went with elder Grover! He is actually from Dubois, Idaho and we figured out that we played each other in basketball my freshman year haha pretty crazy!! He is a homie!! Love Elder Grover!! So while on exchanges we went knocking a TON because me and elder Brower haven't been finding a ton of success in Fort Stockton so we wanted to find new techniques and all that fun stuff!! Odessa is HUGE compared to Fort Stockton so guess what i finally placed a BOM and we had like 3 lessons just by knocking doors!! And the best part was we only got like 7 out of 50 doors slammed in our face:) haha its funny how everyone in Texas has a religion and knows who we are!
After wards we went to Wing Stop to celebrate with some free food.... Wing stop lets all missionarys eat for free...... So Elder Grover and I made a bet and I lost!! So i had to eat the Atomic Wings.... and some words of advice... never eat those suckers!! HA that messes ya up pretty good!! I was feeling the fire still burning in my chest clear till the next morning!!
Ever since i have gotten here to Fort Stockton i have heard from the other Elders about this Catholic Priest that loves missionaries!! This week we get a call from him (Father Hatch), and he wants us to come with him to a 6 on 6 high school football game because he is a volunteer EMS, and so we were like HECK YES Father!!! We met him there and we were hanging out with the ambulence crew and in the game totally saw this kid snap his leg... felt for him for sure... but it was sweet cause we got to help them get him ready and put in the ambulance!!
Father Hatch treats us better than almost everyone else here haha!! He lives in Abiline, but comes down to Fort Stockton for like a week like 2 times a month!! He fed us like 3 times and tooks us yesterday to Big Bend National Park!! It was so sick. He is so open to answer any questions that we have and is the first Catholic that hasn't tried to attack us and bash on our religion!! so Cool!!
Anyways the church is true and so is the BOM. If you don't know that for yourself, i challenge you to read to book of Mormon and pray with real intent to know of the truth of it, and i promise you will get an answer!! The power of the priesthood is so real and can bless your lives if you are living the way Heavenly Father wants us to!! Love you all! And thanks for all of the support you show me!!
Love you bye
