Howdy,
This week was pretty good. Lots of adventures. Transfers were on Tuesday, and they were very crazy. We're in the process of taking the total number of cars in our mission down from 83 to 69 and they also gave us 8 new cars to replace some of our older ones. It was a lot of chaos at transfers trying to get people to their new cars and also installing and swapping things while they waited because we didn't have any extras. We also had a pretty big ice storm this week. It rained for a day, and then we had "frozen rain" (it's just hail pretty much), topped off with snow after that. It was pretty slick outside because the ice was under the snow. Our car doors froze shut and all that. Everyone was freaking out, and we were mandated to stay inside all day on Thursday and most of the day Friday. We weren't even allowed to drive for 3 minutes to come into the office, so I was pretty peeved. We had so much to do in the office, but we just got farther behind as we scrambled to come up with ways to spend our time productively at home. We were luckily allowed to leave our apartment Friday and catch up a little.
Yesterday while making dinner I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. When I looked I didn't see anything so I just figured I imagined it, but then it happened two seconds later. When I looked the second time I was shocked to see a mouse on our floor under my dresser. I was not very happy. I told Elder Parry and Elder Sowers (who was staying with us for a couple days this week), and we had an interesting time trying to deal with it. I stood guard at the door while Elder Parry and Elder Sowers tried to pin him down and trap him. I got on my knees to search under one of the beds with a flashlight and when I did the mouse ran straight at me and went through my legs out the door of our bedroom. I screamed very loudly and rushed to see where he had gone but I couldn't find him. We closed our door and stuffed the bottom so he couldn't get back in during the night, but now we have to deal with the fact that there's a runaway mouse inside our apartment somewhere and we don't know where. Not going to lie I would prefer bedbugs to the mouse. I really would just prefer that they all leave us alone. I was pretty cowardly and did a lot of screaming and panicking last night. Elder Parry did ok and Elder Sowers handled it best.
How bout them Bengals though? Who Dey! Everyone is really excited for the Super Bowl around here. They even changed the street signs to say things like Joe Burrow Ave and stuff like that. We're nervous to see if we can be able to talk to anyone at all next Sunday, but I'm really excited. When Elder Willis (a Steelers fan) got his mission call here (before me) I teased him saying that he would come home a Bengals fan and the Bengals are bad. I guess I'm biting my words because now they're in the Super Bowl, and I'm pretty excited about it.
Christ lives and this is His work and His gospel! I'm so grateful to be able to serve as one of His representatives here in Cincinnati!
Keep Striving (Just like the Bengals)
