MARTES - District meeting in Hemphill, enjoyed a chopped beef hot topper sandwich at the best BBQ in the world, we came back and were just so sick, so we didn't go out. We went to dinner with Juan and Rosa and then he came out with us. He hogged the entire lesson with Ismael Guerrero and with Jose and Mariela, it was not cool, sometimes members don't get that we bring them to fellowship, not to teach the entire lesson.
MIERCOLES - We got up and went to Juans tire shop to do service, his only co-worker quit so now he is by himself and needs a lot of help, we were there for only a few hours, we came back got ready and headed out to Groveton to teach Zuleika Perez and had an awesome lesson with her, she is so awesome! We headed back grabbed a bite to eat with the other elders and then we headed to Alfonsos, we were very disappointed to hear what we heard. We found out that Juan said we could no longer work with him because he didn't get baptized... how messed up is that. We are both very displeased with Juan right now for doing something like that, now he thinks everyone dislikes him because of not being baptized. He is leaving to Mexico in January as well. We went to the Torreses after and taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and used the Egg lesson, another awesome lesson. We gave Isaiah a blessing because he had just had his tonsils removed.
JUEVES - We are all now just sicker than dogs, i couldn't move so we all were inside all day, trying to get better, pretty much drinking bottles of NyQuil, the most we could do was go to the church at 7 and plan with the branch for next year. Other than that, I was so sick and my companion as well. Not a fun day.
VIERNES - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!! the big 21, congrats! feels like just yesterday we were showing off our Casper toys to dad as he videotaped us in our undies and with our mullets. I love you bro, hope your day was good. Still sicker than a dead dog on a hot day, we had a few lessons at night with Ismael and with Alfonso, we took Juan to Ismael, or should I say he just signed himself up to come with us, and he wasn't there, he asked us who else we had for the night and we told him Alfonso and he made up an excuse and went home and said not to teach him anymore because he has no potential... We went over there read with him 1 Nephi 3 and then headed home and crashed.
SABADO - I'm feeling a little better by now but not the best, I got my package from Grandma! Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa!!! I ate those cookies so fast! I love you guys and miss you a ton. We were still pretty sick so we helped the English elders with their baptismal services they had that day because they were sick as well and didn't have time during the week to really plan it out.
DOMINGO - Back to stage one, no investigators at church, all that we call come up with an excuse as to not come but we keep our heads up. Church was really good, our health still shaky though, we went to dinner after and finally set up an exact time to call home, I will be calling around 4 o clock, so in Utah around 3, We headed back to the church as Miguel Ruiz graduated from the primary and received the priesthood. It was a really fun and spiritual uplifting event. We headed home and crashed. I apologize for the short blog, being inside all day because of being sick really restricted us from witnessing miracles, teaching families and living the mission life to its fullest. Hope all you can make it to my house at 3, I would love to talk to anyone who would like to come, love you all.
Elder Aaron Jackson
