Can You Ride Your Bike With No Handlebars?

 Hello my thunder thighed Brigade. This last week was, to put it frankly, kind of annoying. You see, it was Christmas. Which honestly is a depressing time to be a missionary. As bad as it sounds it felt like a huge roadblock that was oddly nostalgic. I love seeing everyone look to Christ around this time but am happy the holiday is over and hopefully things can go back to normal around here. Although this week was tough to do normal missionary work we got to go on an inclining power walk midweek with a guy who in the end was trying to save us from the "false prophet Joseph smith'' so that was fun. I learned that we are all saved and all we need is Christ's grace, phew right… I knew God gave commands and prophets just to tease. But I am so grateful to be where I am right now. You see more than half of our mission is reassigned missionaries and a lot go to their original assignments and we hear from them and they are stuck inside all day on Facebook and want to come back. I am lucky enough to be somewhere Covid doesn't really even exist and can do normal missionary work. Yes I want to go to Japan but at the state of things right now I would also be pretty sad to leave this mission life. Although this week was hard we got to do some service and go over to some members' houses on Christmas and Christmas Eve which was very nice of them but to me I don't know it felt weird. Hopefully we can grow member relations here because it has been really hard and I feel like I still don't know anyone in this ward which is the complete opposite of Sidney. So if you have missionaries in your ward make sure to say Hi and invite them over. It means a lot. Last night we went to dinner with a member but they do not go to our ward. They drive down to Rapid every week, but he said they had a salt gun so I told him to shoot me. He did and was kinda disappointed because I thought it would hurt more. But then he goes it hurts more when you don't expect it... see watch this. Points it at is 4 year old daughter playing with play dough and kachows her on the back of the neck. It was pretty funny. Also found out there is a guitar center in Rapid City the other day. 🤯😱 just a matter of time before I make it there. Today its -10 and we have a bunch of pow wow. We shoveled some people's driveways and lost a finger or two. I was thinking last night how sad the life of a pig would be just because they are sadly pathetic creatures, But double smoked jalapeño bacon cooked with added grease is really pleasing to the tongue. Anyways don't forget to thrust in your sickle with all your might. I gotta go but you all better be in the clouds somewhere up in space alright.
