Jor Jor Banks

This week has been a learning curve for me, but it’s been a ton of fun! Elder Funk and I are both listed as senior companion however because I’m the one who knows more about this area that makes me the Elder who has the SIM card and drives everywhere.

On Monday I celebrated my birthday by going to Chick-Fil-A, talking a ton with my family, and going to Target to purchase a Halo Mega Construx set because I am a nerd!

On Tuesday we had a zoom meeting for our new French Facebook page that just barely launched for all of our French speaking friends we're teaching. 

On Wednesday we had a lesson with one of our friends named Patrick. He had a ton of questions that needed to be answered. 

Thursday was wack. Not a single lesson went through that day. It was a very slow and boring day but that's just the way the cookie crumbles!

On Friday we had two really good lessons with Susan and Welles. We shared the story of Nephi and his family sailing across the sea with Susan and shared the story of Nephi and his Brother's getting the brass plates from King Laban with Welles.

Saturday was cool because we were able to go to the Yarmouth ward's Christmas party. They let us come because the Portland ward isn't hosting a Christmas party for some reason. They did a ward wide Christmas singalong, and it was so cool! Elder Funk made me die from laughter and it was so funny. I quoted Star Wars and turned to him, and he looked me in the eyes with a deadpan expression and stated, "Jor Jor Banks." And I just lost it for at least 5 minutes.

Yesterday was pretty fun because it finally snowed! We also got to see a train crossing close which was cool with all the snow.

Overall, this week was really slow because almost all of our lessons we had planned each got canceled last minute so most of the week was just us trying to figure out what to do. But yeah, that's my week it's been slow but fun. I'm looking forward to the future and am excited to continue serving and growing. Talk to you all next week!!!
