Hey everyone!
This is that last week that i will have while here in the Arkansas little Rock mission! its been awesome and i really have grown to love the people ive met here and i hope that they can continue to grow this little branch. buuuut…. to be honest i don’t see myself living here its just not my culture really haha but don’t get me wrong i will come visit here again thats for sure! Im very excited to go to Taiwan and see just what its like there and adjust to the almost exact 12 hour time difference there… its going to be some tiring first days!

alright so story time.

so the first week i was here i heard a story about my companions getting a ride to a zone meeting from one of the members here in our branch. his name is Brother Austin and he is about 80 years old. He has had a stroke and he is just this funny little old man that really is just my favorite 🙂 so they get in his van and brother Austin starts driving down the road and they come to this red light. Now brother Austin says “Now boys, if i have another stroke just grab the wheel and pull off the road then pull the emergency brake.” Everyone in the car just laughs and  thinks he’s joking but they get really nervous because they realize he’s telling the truth! Then they start driving and he is having a hard time turning the wheel. Brother Austin says “Oh, my power steering is out. but its ok if i have trouble turning just grab the wheel and help me.” Now they are all really nervous and to top it off he then tells them that the brakes in the car are going out….. haha 🙂 Elder Ernst says “Brother Austin its alright we can turn around and find another ride its no problem!” Bother Austin replies “No boys were going on an adventure!” as he says this he puts on his hat. Now the ride was sketchy but they made it there on time and in one piece! President Jensen (our branch President) said later that when they all walked in they all looked pale and scared out of their mind! it was a great story i just wish i could have told it better!

well love you guys!
