P-day!

March 9, 2013

Hello Everyone! 

Thank you for your letters and emails I love getting them! Today's P-day has been absolutely crazy! We got special permission to drive 2 hours outside of our area and dedicate a burial sight. The woman who died was a recent convert and her husband, who drove us, was not a member. We had plenty of time to chat with him about missionary work and how families can be together forever. He recently had a stroke and so half his body is partially paralyzed, and so he was stomping on the peddle and swerving all over the place, I though I was going to die! I have never seen such a scarier driver in my life. Even you mom. ;) So things are just weird right now. We have P-day again tomorrow because we haven't had enough time to do laundry and grocery shop.

This week has been very very difficult. Earlier in the week my companion severely hurt his lower back. A ward chiropractor has been coming every night to work on him, but he could barely sit and stand, let alone ride a bike. Wednesday night we took a 2 hour walk to the church. It was not fun. Last week we found a family to teach and total we had 6 baptism dates set for April 27th. As of Sunday, we have zero. We tried our best to still visit people and get them to General Conference, but everyone fell through. Its definitely been a twiddle my thumbs kind of week... My companion can't do anything, which means I can't either. I did go on a trade off with missionaries in our district. I definitely will never take for granted the home I live in now because theirs is in the ghetto, in a small beat up home where termites and cock roaches are seen! I also slept on a shaky bunk bed, reminded me a lot of my childhood. We went out into a trailer park and taught some people. I INSTANTLY fell in love with these people here for some reason. Maybe because they live in a trailer park and are more humble I don't know. Apparently I clicked with a man that these other missionaries couldn't stand. Funny how that works. So that was my best day this week. 

Usually during the week, members sign up 5-6 times to feed us. This week, we had two. That means more frozen pizzas and burritos! Till next time.

Love, 

Elder Greenlaw
