Haha I'm probably going to be like that for my whole mission; like marveling at how long I've been here. It's nuts.
So some cool
things happened this last week! Remember that really cool guy who
contacted me last week? Yeah we met with him every day and he's like the
coolest guy ever! His name is Nick. He's just awesome. He met
missionaries in England and they recommended him to talk to us. He says
he loves a lot of things about our church and he feels good when he
reads, prays, and came to sacrament meeting! He loves the social aspect
of the church out here. So we'll see how he goes!
Also we have another investigator who accepted a baptismal date but because he's very understandably concerned about his physical welfare, as he's unemployed and doesn't know if he will live to that date. But he's basically ready to be there.

Haha I'm wondering if this is what it's like
working in an area where the church is well established! We had a lesson
almost every day and that's VERY rare out here. We didn't have time to
go home and eat once because of a mix of how long it takes to get to our
apartment (around 40 minutes) and that we were always there for lessons
so we ate out for lunch every day!
But it's okay because we hardly
spent any money on groceries because we are frugal! But haha don't worry
I'm not starving! It's just that we buy the ingredients and they're
super cheap so we save a lot of money! Like, I spent about half as much
on groceries as I did my first transfer. We're frugal :)
Oh
and I went soapboxing last week:) Yeah we went chalk contacting and me
and Elder H and Elder R (ZLs) read from the pamphlets and
also just soapboxed. It was super cool! We didn't really get anything
out of it but it was a great experience.
Also there's a
sister out here who's elementary school teacher was Grandma DeGraw! Her
name is Sora Cook. Haha she told me that a few weeks ago but I just
remembered. So. Yeah.
Anyway it's going great out here! I've
seen lots of great things out here in this last week, as well as one
really crazy lady. Haha but the good easily outweighs the bad.
I love and miss you all so I command you to have a fantastic week! Till I write again!
Love,
Elder DeGraw
