I can't remember if I wrote last week or if it's been a few weeks 🤷🏼♂️ . Anyway, we have been really busy the last few weeks!
Xenia has been super sweet so far. I've loved it. The people here are definitely a lot nicer, maybe because Xenia is known as the city of hospitality? Haha, idk but it's been a blast.
Nothing absolutely crazy has happened recently, but I do have a good church story We were in sacrament meeting on Sunday and in the middle of the 3rd talk the power flickered and went out completely. It was pitch black inside the chapel and the microphone stopped working. So, the bishop stood up and had everyone turned on the flashlights on their phones. It was still pretty dark, but it was really funny. It felt like story time. The speakers were basically yelling so everyone could hear. The power ended up coming back on right before the closing prayer. It was a hilarious experience to have half of sacrament meeting in the dark.
The people in the ward are all super nice. The word has been getting out about the One Elder that catches pigeons haha. We joined the priests on Sunday, (they have quite a few, like 12-16 of them) and they all want to learn how to catch pigeons and now magically the next 3 weeks are completely full on the meal calendar. So, it's been fun explaining everything to everyone! Who knows, maybe I'll take the priests out to shoot some pigeons like back home! Anyway, it's been a fun few weeks!
I'll try to do better at email I promise. Maybe talk to y'all next week🏻 have a good week everyone! I love you all!
