UGH PEOPLE



So much is happening with my life right now none of you can even possibly begin to comprehend.
Having 2 wards is FETCHING NUTS. We wake up at 6:30 every morning and then get home at 9:30 every night...and we are busy the WHOLE TIME NOT EVEN LYING.
We have like 97 freaking investigators. What are we even supposed to do with that many people. There isn't enough water in AZ to baptize them. Really though we have like 8...AND GUESS FREAKING WHAT, WE TRACTED THE OTHER DAY AND IT FREAKING WORKED. In case you were wondering that doesn't happen people. I have knocked hundreds of doors the past 6 months and NOT 1 person, has been kind enough to hear us. Well these people were, their names are Louis and Jessica, and they rock so hard. We went over and taught them the first lesson yesterday and they were like dang this is legit. YES IT IS. They also have 2 kids, so hopefully they are ready to get wet cause it's happenin.
Oh yeah the Perreira's got baptized on Saturday AND GUESS WHAT. The water was wayyyyy too hot, I can't seem to get the temperature thing right...so we had to postpone the baptism for like 20 minutes while me and Elder Deyarmond (yes this really happened) turned on the cold water and got in to stir it up. It was horrible. Anything for a baptism. The rest went well :) I got to confirm all 4 of them in sacrament meeting and holy cow if I can give some advice try not to baptize Hawaiians cuz their names are really hard...it was like Henry Koa Delosantos Perreira the 4th, Madision Pume Hana Perreira, Heather Louise Kanoia Lani Perreira, and Kailee Kakilani Perreira.
WOW. But I was successful. And it was glorious.
So much is happening, like the other night we get a call at like 10:30 from the ER and the lady was like ummm yeah your mom is in the ER...and I was like WHAT. WHAT IS HER NAME TELL ME RIGHT NOW. Debbie...that's not my mom. Thankfully, but that is our investigator hahah. Ugh long story she's all good now tho.
Here is some weekly advice:
Me and Elder Deyarmond have Nerf guns...harmless right? So wrong it isn't even funny. Satan tempted us to light the darts on fire and shoot them at each other...well he must of been very persuasive because we did it. And I'm gonna have some scars. The darts stuck to our skin while they were still on fire and then melted to our skin. Holy heck worst idea we are so stupid don't try it.
But yeah that is pretty much what happened this week!! :D AWESOME. Also Courtney congrats holy heck I love you, and someone please tell Anthony I love him.
Have a good week y'all i miss u :')
Love, Elder Mitchell

The Perreiras

ouch.

This screen shot was sent with the caption, "start planning mom"--I told him it sounded good to me, then asked how many girls he had proposed to while on his mission. His answer..."IDK, a lot. But this one's for real." Hahaha
