Letter dated 16 January 2023

Dear y'all, I think that since this is my 80th week writing emails I can say that I'm an old missionary so that's new. This week was weird but there were still good moments Monday Elder Clancy got real sick so Elder Scott and did a ton of contacts which was a lot of fun! Tuesday Elder Clancy was still sick so that was tough. We made EVEN MOOOOOREE calls which was kinda fun but we were all pretty excited to get back in the action. We also accidentally blocked ourselves out of our washing room since our dryer moved in front of the entry way and we had to move our dryer while our door could only open three inches wide. After a lot of pushing, lifting, and praying Elder Clancy and I got swole enough to move it. It took 30 minutes. That was the most eventful part of the day. Wednesday On Wednesday we knocked an entire neighborhood. Not a single person wanted a return appointment but we were undeterred. Thursday Then we had tornado warnings all day with no tornados so we were very conflicted about whether we should head out or not. We decided to start working and then our mission president told us to stay home so once again we were stuck inside. Friday We had a visit with a returning member and it went well. Almost toooo well.... He offered us apple juice that tasted... funny. I decided it was nothing to worry about so I kept drinking. As we were going back home for the night I started to feel a little sick. I decided to sleep it off. (To be continued...) Saturday I woke up the next day with a headache and a stomach ache. We texted and asked the brother about the juice. Apparently he poured it out after we left because he had left it out for several weeks and had gone bad. Fortunately I was not I got over it really quickly and we wstill had a normal schedule! It was pretty funny because I honestly thought my juice was spiked and that I was hung over but in actuality drinking bad juice just makes you feel bad. Sunday We had interviews with President Harris and we also God someone to church who wants to be baptized soon! Sometimes you just need to have a tough time to have a miracle happen. Have a good one, this week I get to have zone conference so that should be great! God bless! Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
