Whattup Sons and Daughters of Liberty, 1 Nephi 13:14-19 2 Nephi 10:10-16 Ether 2:10 D&C 101:77-80 Well this was a pretty cool two weeks. We have some people who are finally coming to church, and also I got kicked out of somebody's house for the second time. Weirdly, both of those times have been in this area. I'm really boutta dust off my shoes in front of some people's houses soon.  Anyways, here's the news: Pastor Bash   So the sisters in Embu sent us the contact of this guy named Noé. We try sending him a message, he doesn't respond. So we get the IRS to track him down and then show up at his house out of nowhere.  Turns out he's actually legit and wants to come to church with us. So we sit down and we're teaching him about the book of Mormon when all of a sudden this old guy comes in. Now I knew something was wrong when he was really weirdly aggressive with us but he left so I was just like "ok whatever". But after 10ish minutes this guy co...

Whattup トリュフを食べる人,  I set my watch to Kolob time now, so I don't remember the days of any of the events I'm about to describe. But uhh here's some stuff that went down: D-day I went on a division with our district leader and the morning of that division our neighbors cat came down and was meowing for attention. So I was like "awesome" and I started petting him. And he absolutely mauled my hand and left a huge gash in it. Just for the record I pet literally like all the cats on the street and they are super nice. It's only house cats who are cadelas. So the division was lit, we walked around for about 8 hours while everything fell through then at the end of the night we found this guy called Alex Cordeiro de Jesus. He was totally wasted and he ran out of the bar and was like "yoooo its the mormons, how do I get one of those books?" and so we handed him a book of mormon. He made us autograph it and then kissed it before he put it in his backpack. He de...

Whattup coitados,  These past few weeks have been a blur. And by a blur, I mean I haven't taken notes so I'm not sure what to write about. Here's some highlights off the top of my head: some highlights off the top of my head -we ate lunch with our stake president and his wife was hilarious, she told us we were going to hell haha -the road cats have been getting nicer and letting me pet them -we had a noite familiar (family home evening) with one of the cool members in our ward and she made us homemade ice-cream it was really good -we had p night with the other elders and there were these people having a crazy party in the house beneath ours so we danced up in our apartment and ordered three pizzas and absolutely nothing else wacky or unusual happened -we got like 20 member visits marked for this week due to some clever form stuff we passed around on sunday Alright this email sucks but I wanted to let yall know I'm still alive and goin strong and I'm pretty sure if I...

Part 4: Ebbert Is Unbreakable

Whattup morioh choh radio,  So I'm officially in my 4th area, and I'm also simaltaneously in my like 4th character arc of my mission. We love the mish  This area is dope, there are some pretty cool members here. Unfortunately the other elders left us n o t h i n g. I guess president likes to put me into dead areas. We're still having trouble finding people to teach though kind of depressing tbh, but a member who is leaving on her mission soon did invite us to her going away part and she was like "elders I'm gonna invite all my non member friends and I want you to get to know them all and also teach a lesson from PMG as the spiritual thought" so hopefully things get spicy this week and we get some people to church.  But in terms of emails... we have no emails. How far I've fallen. I used to be unable to go more than a week without writing a college length essay incorporating general authority quotes and Cradle metaphors, and now... Yeah, writing is hard, bu...
