Dear yall, This was a dark week in my service as a missionary. I got, reeeeeeeeaaaall sick with the influenzas. Here is the week. On Halloween I dressed up as Dwight Schrute and Elder Lind dressed up as doctor Duffenschmerts Tuesday was a really good finding day! We found a handful of new people to teach and had a good conversation with a member family about inviting one of our investigators to come to church more often. Hopefully everything works out on that front Then, the dreaded Wednesday illness struck. I was out cold most of the day and at night I got hopped up on cough syrup. All in all, not great On Thursday fortunately another district member was also very sick so we teamed up for the day and stayed away from the healthy people together while our different companions did missionary work. Shoutout to Elder Witte for being a beast! On Friday, I started to feel better! We had a service project moving rocks for a brother in the ward named Brother Barron and it was going great.... until Elder Lind left his wallet and his phone on the top of his truck while he drove away. We frantically went to go look for his lost cargo but to no avail. When Brother Barron came back Elder Lind's phone was miraculously still on the truck! His wallet was unsurprisingly not on the truck however. We decided to not be sketchy with a licenseless driver and had Elder Elmer drive since I'm too smooth of an operator 😎 Then, hours later Elder Lind got a message from a man who found his wallet and we met up and it was super cool to see our prayers were answered about finding it! We also will be teaching the same man next week which is exciting! On Saturday we finished the service project and were rewarded with Panda Express. We then had an amazing weekly planning session and had a soul bearing companionship inventory. It was nice to get some things off of our chests! Then we cooked some steaks we had been gifted from a Brother Shippen Bushell for changing his light bulb and watched stake conference with our steaks. Also we had stake conference on zoom! Then, travesty struck again.... I got real sick yesterday and taught my companions how to make scratch sausage gravy. Then I made too much scratch sausage gravy so I turned it into some gravy bread. Do not make gravy bread, it is a mistake only fools make. Anways, have a good one. I could use some prayers since I'm still kind of sick Love you guys! Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
