Elder Tristin Tidwell - Texas Houston Mission: Week 97

Just before transfers...

What up yall!

I hope everyone had an awesome

New Years

! For us we didn't really do much just kind of kicked it until 12 but before we had to go inside we went over to the English elders apartments and played beanboozled let me tell ya almost as funny as the speak out game video I sent from the first email of the transfer hah. Then drank some good ol Martinellis in these ghetto wine glasses we found and well that's about it hahah.

The rest of the week...

Umm, on Tuesday I went on exchanges with Elder Sobotka because all the other guys had a conference to go to, it was probably one of the funniest exchanges I've every been on. First, we went to do service at this food pantry/ baptist church and then after that we got some lunch at Fazolies and then stopped by the Aggie store just to take a quick peek at what's in there. Then that night we went to some China buffet with an English member. We also had to take Elder Sobotka to a lesson with us because we couldn't find where his comp was, so he got to meet Nancy. She was like, "Hold up...there's 4 of you now??? I don't know if I can do that!!" hahah.

Wednesday, we went on another exchange but this one was with the APs and it went pretty smooth. Elder Self went with Elder Barton to his area and then we got Aholele. We had plans to be in Navasota pretty much the whole day so we told him we could make like a short split thing and you could just visit all the members you wanted and he took that offer pretty quick hah but super cool! We went to our investigator Andrew's house, his wife's a member and they have 2 kids that are like 1 and 2 or something like that. We gave him a baptismal date for the 22nd of January and you could just see that they've both been waiting for this. He was like yes, I'll be baptized on that day, in our heads we like freak!!! Yes! Dunk city here we come!! ⛹🏼⛹🏼 But then his wife asked when they could get married in the temple and we told them after a year and she said their anniversary is the 27th so their going to get sealed on that day!

Friday, was zone meeting and then Mr Hamburger

afterwards. Then Saturday we went to Andrews again, it was his son's bday and they had the dates put up on the fridge...so freaking sick! And then we visited Nancy and she's been having some pregnancy issues, so we went over and gave her a blessing that calmed her down a little bit and everything was okay after that.

Sunday got a sick picture with Hermano Contreras, probably one of the coolest old Hispanics I've ever met hahah. We also got transfers and Elder Self is leaving :/ super sad to see him go...it's been awesome getting to know him but I know he's needed elsewhere so I'll just see him some other time.

That's about it!
Love y'all,

Elder Tidwell
