Ummm.... Yesterday coming out of church, it was like snowing. SNOWING! I guess it was more like hail or something but when we first came out it was like flurrying down. Anyway so that was crazy. Saturday it was freezing cold all day and I wanted to just die being on a bike. But I hear that this cold is only supposed to last a few days and then it'll warm up and we are done with the cold! Hooray. Lets hope that really happens.
Round Rock is pretty good. Honestly I am not that far away from Leander at all. So its kinda weird and the people are a lot alike. The only thing I have done here so far is knock. We actually set a kid with a baptismal date this week for the end of the month but then when we went back he said he wanted to move it back... Untill August! So we are pretty much just trying to find. Which is really just daunting because a lot of people arent home or they dont answer their door or they dont really want to talk. But there are people out there who are prepared and ready, so we just need to find them. We ride bikes a lot. Well, obviously since that is our mode of transportation. For like 2 seconds I felt like I was getting stronger and then we start going uphill again and I realize that I dont at all! Hahaha. But this area is good so far.
Because this week was rather slow, the best parts of it were our dinner appointments... we ate with this family who is this like more mature couple. He is like 70. Anyway. Convert to the church. And he is black and he is just so awesome. He told us like this huge conversion story and it was so interesting. He also gave us this book called Celia's Boy, its an autobiography of his Father that he helped him compile. I will probably be sending it home soon since I cannot read it, but anyway. I asked him if he ever listened to Martin Luther King Jr. and he said he marched with him! We didnt have time for the story, but I am looking forward to hearing it when we come back. But that dinner was just very enjoyable.
We also ate with a family who the wife is from the Philipines. Straight up. And she totally made us authentic food. And it was pretty good. She even gave us bolute? (bow-loot) Which is like an embryo of an egged animal. Aka this one was of a quail. Isnt that crazy though? Like a little baby that is forming, inside of an egg. Which is really common there and I know that Mason ate them while serving a mission because one time when we watched "Fear Factor" they had to eat those and he was like, 'That's nothing, I ate those like every day!" Hahahaha. And she said that pregnant women crave those all the time. Woof. So I ate 2... Cause they were actually kinda good. The thing looks so creepy but I am sending a picture of me with the egg. Hahaha. I like getting all these different culture aspects. Its super fun and very enjoyable. Pretty much only because I am all about different cultures and I love learning about them and experiencing things from different parts of the world. But that was probably the funnest thing this week.
We talked to an interesting German lady who said she would read the Book of Mormon. So we ordered one in German for her. Pretty cool. Its so fun to talk to people, esspecially when they feel like being open and actually having a conversation with you. Because you get to learn so much about different things and ways of life, how people function and just like different life experiences. Its fun to see. But I am so grateful that you all pray for me all the time. Because I feel like I have so much more power and I am way supported because of them and I thank you so much. Honestly that is what I need the most out here. Especially help that we will be guided to the people that we need to teach and help!
But I love the mission field so much. SO MUCH! The other day when we were riding and it was freezing cold and the wind was like hurting so bad and I was secretly crying, a thought popped into my head and I was like, "I CHOSE to do this." And then I was like, "Heck yeah, and it was the BEST choice ever." I dont know if anything could be better than this. :)
Have a great week and enjoy all the fun and things that there are to enjoy in life. :)
