Email for the Week of September 19th

Image
  Okay, so pretty unexpected things happened this week!  So this email is a week late.  Nonetheless it was a pretty fire week and we got some good things done! So let's jump into it! Beef of the Week!:  So on Saturday, I was on exchanges in the hood and we were playing some basketball with some of the guys down there! My man Elder Bishop and I were  beating guys off the court so we gathered a crowd lol but then this homie named Ramon landed on my leg.... And it's not looking too good! I can't put pressure on it and the urgent care place says it probably has some tears in my knee!  So pray!  I will update more next week! (Mom note.  We are waiting to hear how bad Nathan's knee is. He will finally have an MRI on his knee tonight (it has been 10 days since the accident) and we will hopefully talk to the orthopedic doctor on Wednesday.)  We are so grateful to Roel (a friend from Nathan's last area) for helping the mission office find a ...

Broken Foot

 Yo what's up everyone, my comp just broke his foot today so that was fun.  Spent almost 4 hours in an Urgent Care.  He's a greenie and I feel so bad for him because he's been in the mission field for like 4 days.... But it's okay cuz we bouta grind with it!  I'm just super glad he doesn't have to go home!   Also, if anyone has any questions or anything or any crazy life updates, just hit me up! Beef of the Week!:  My foot... Elder Schlessinger landed on my foot during volleyball so if only my foot wasn't there none of this would've happened!  But it's okay the Lord will strengthen him and this companionship! Babe of the Week!:  My babe this week is Henry Von Rintelen!  He brought his friend JP to church on Sunday and he was super chill!  He plays football for CMU and he wants to ball up with us and take some lessons and come to church again!  So isn't that super fire??  MEMBER WORK IS AMAZING!!  Do it!

  Hello friends!  Don't worry. I'm not having a literal child... But in missionary language, that means I'm training!  So I will be staying here in Oakland and I'll have a companion named Elder Uchytil.  It's his first transfer as a Zone Leader so I have to teach him how to do that and also we're getting a greenie that is supposed to go to Taiwan but is reassigned here for the time being!  So I kinda get to train 2 different Elders in 2 different ways!! Beef of the week!:  Our teeny tiny apartment... I'm for real when I say IDK how we're going to fit 3 grown men in this apartment and have enough time to all shower and get ready in the morning.  Seriously no idea.  So if you've shared an apartment that has 1 bathroom, 1 bedroom, and 1 living room with 2 other people before plz let me know how to do this.. Babe of the week!:  The babe this week is Nae!  We found her on Tuesday and her father was a member of The Church!  She didn't rem...
