Elder Aidan Holyoak: 6 months!!

Hello Hello, I hope you're all doing well. Some stuff happened this week so let's get right into it.

On Wednesday I hit my 6-month mark as a missionary. I am already 1/4th of the way done with my whole mission and that blows my mind. Mission time is really confusing but one thing I know for sure is that time definitely isn't going slow anymore. I think staying busy is the key to making it go faster. To celebrate the 6 months I burned one of my ties! For some reason, the tie wasn't flammable at all so we had to use matches and cockroach spray to burn it. Don't worry the Holy Ghost protected us the whole time. Elder Duncan lit my hand on fire and I didn't even feel a thing.

During the week our missions Facebook guys asked us to make a video for them. We chose the topic "Love Thy Neighbor". I'll try to see if I can send it through email but if not it will be on my Facebook account also.

An update on our Chicken problem. We had to forcefully evict her. OK, not forcefully but it was pretty annoying chasing a chicken and her baby around for 20 minutes. She kept coming back to the same spot but I think after the 4th or 5th time she got the point and hasn't come back since.

We also got transfer news this week and I'm going to be staying with Elder Duncan to finish his training. This is good news. I like Elder Duncan and I like this area. Some bad news however is that we are losing our roommate Elder Muhaga. This guy is one of the funniest people ever and he will be missed. Maybe I'll actually be able to get some sleep in this apartment now. I'll probably be seeing him sooner or later though.

Scripture of the Week

1 Nephi 8:10 - "And it came to pass that I beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy."
