This week was full of missionary work. Who’d’ve thunk?!
It started out with us not being able to leave our car one night. We have a 2017 Malibu and it has a button to turn on the engine. We were all ready to get out, and Sis Williams turned off the car and it said something about it not being able to detect the key. We then realized the engine was still on. Sis Williams started the car up and tried again with the same results. We called the zone leaders (because they also have a Malibu) and asked how to turn off the car. Thankfully Elder Kraft had had this happen to him before so he knew exactly what to do: put the key in the bottom of the middle console and then turn off the car. Sis Williams and I were skeptical, but we tried it, and lo and behold it worked. Thank goodness for the zone leaders or we would’ve been there all night!
The only other exciting thing that happened was we got to play volleyball on Saturday. We were supposed to play softball, but there were some do-gooder Scouts doing a blood drive or something on the softball field, so we just moved indoors. I didn’t really want to play at first, but Sis Williams convinced me and I had a lot of fun. We played king of the court for a little while and my team did pretty well. We came, we won, we left. We weren’t the annoying people that no one could beat, but we held our own. After the games we went to a baptism. Mckenzie and her mom both came and said that it was really peaceful and calm, which is 100% true. If you ever want to feel peace, go to a Mormon baptism.
That was mostly it for the week. There were ups and downs, but c’est la vie so I’m just keeping it going. I’m just trying to enjoy the low 80s weather before the fire of a thousand suns rains down on me. Good times are ahead!
