Hello ladies and gents!!! What is cracking on the home front??? It has been a really awesome, busy, week for me!! It has been quite an adjustment moving from small town Vernon to the big city of Tulsa. Oh, and it is currently snowing right now and we almost weren't allowed to leave the apartment because of the icy roads!! Sooooo first and foremost, my new companion is really cool!! He is soooooo funny and has a huge sense of humor and everyone here in Tulsa seems to love him soooo much!! He is from Sacramento California and has been on his mission for about 18 months! Which is a crazy long time!!!! One day, we saw an airplane in the sky and he asked me "how far away is that airplane?". Me, not knowing where he was going with this, told him a couple thousand feet. He then jokingly said that it is way closer to me than it must seem to you! Haha! Very funny......
So, it was a pretty crazy week this week, first of course, we had transfers. We car pooled with a few other Elders up to Tulsa after transfers happened so we had a ton of bikes on our bike rack!! We get to Tulsa after dark and an Elder named Elder Wildman broke the key to the bike rack. So me and Elder Hammond have been driving around the car with 3 bikes strapped to the back of it!!! We called the mission office to see what we could do and they told us not to cut the chord that had all the bikes attached to it because it would be a pretty expensive replacement. So we just had to work with it!!! We also were running late to a dinner appointment so we couldn't do anything about the situation. The next day, we found out that there was a gas leak in our apartment due to the smell of propane so we had to call the fire department and three fire trucks showed up to our house!! No biggy, our apartment could have exploded this week!! Haha!! That problem was pretty well taken care of!! So no worries. We also had to take our car to a shop because we ran over a nail so we had to go and get our tire fixed!!! The next day after that. We were driving around with all the bikes on the back and guess what happened!! THE BIKE RACK FELL OFF while we were driving!!! Into the middle of on coming traffic. We had to call a member who had a truck to come pick up the bike rack for us. Thankfully, there was no damage done to our bikes. After that, we had a very awkward dinner appointment with an inactive couple. The food wasn't too good and it was my first time having to troop through a rough dinner!!! Plus, it was in a very sketchy apartment complex, probably the scariest one in town. We thought we were gonna get mugged by these 2 so called "security guards" who made us talk with them!! Pretty scary.........
Well, with all hardships that happened to us this week!! We were able to see so many miracles happened. We have constantly recieved refferals and have plenty of teaching opportunities!!! We get feed by the members every night so don't ever worry about me getting hungry!! Our ward is also in the richer part of town so we get to go in some awesome houses and meet some really successful people!!! We have a few kids on date for baptism and had 4 investigators at church. I can't wait to get to know these people even more and to help them grow and progress in the Gospel. They seem really solid!! I hope all is well with you all back home!! Keep doing great things. I appreciate your guys support!! Love Yall!!!!
Love,
Elder Weese
