Well today marks the first day of my mission in the Kansas Wichita mission! It's so crazy how this day seemed so far away when I first started my mission and now it is here. I attached a mission map for those that are curious. It's kind of cool i could serve in my home state (Colorado) or Oklahoma as well as Kansas.
This week was fairly uneventful. I finally got cleared to drive! So we got the car for a whole 2 days before the Elders needed it back for P-day stuff. We will be back in the car tonight though :) (now that the hot week is over).
On Tuesday we met a ton of really great people though! It was kind of cool. We went to an appointment that didn't go very well at all. Then we were deciding what to do. Every time we made any kind of plan it just didn't feel right. We sat there for almost an hour contemplating what to do. Super frustrating! I think we made 3 different plans and every time they didn't work. We finally came up with a plan that was decent but still not amazing. In order for this plan to work however we had to make it to the bus stop in about 5 min. A walk that normally takes about 10. We knew we could do it if we hurried. As we were walking we ran into a man named Pat. He was great to talk to and even knew one of our members. After talking with him we knew there was no way we would make it to the bus stop in time. We decided to tract a few apartments and then head to another area. Those apartments had more people home than we had hit all day. It was a really productive place to tract. We even found a new investigator that is a baptist but a ton of her extended family is Mormon and she was interested about what they believe.
The only other really interesting thing that has happened to me is CHIGGERS!! Oh my are they painful! They are microscopic bugs that bite and dig into your skin. They stay there until you suffocate them. Their bites are like mosquito bites that itch WAY more! Not fun at all! Right now I've got 5 bites on my feet and 3 on my leg. Last night I painted them with nail polish to suffocate them. Hopefully my feet will be itch free in a couple of days. Note to self...stay out of the grass. On the bright side of things at least it wasn't a tick!
Well not much else to report on the Kansas front. I'm looking forward to meeting President Bell (on July 18th) and I'm excited to see the work change and progress. Keep up the member missionary work back home and send me your miracle stories they are so inspiring!
With lots and lots of love,
