Hey
Family!
So
this week was full of reflection and listening to talks. Unfortunately, Elder
Callister's fever did not go down until Saturday haha so we had quite a bit of time to chill out and read and stuff. When we were chatting back and forth last week, Cody said, “Comp
is awesome. Except he came down with a fever yesterday. I think it is at like
101 right now haha but he is a trooper.” Ugh – a fever his first whole week
into the mission?? Poor Elder Callister…
We
did have a finance training meeting on Wednesday that we had to go to Spanish
Town for. That was exciting. Since the meeting was so late, we couldn't get all
the way back to Junction in time, so we stopped in Mandeville and stayed the
night at the Chandlers' house. They are a senior missionary couple. Boy did
they TREAT us. It was like living with grandparents. I have never eaten so much
in such a short amount of time. We got to their house around 9:45pm and they
fed us chicken sandwiches and juice and chips and salsa... And we woke up to
stacks upon stacks of pancakes and soursop and more juice. By the end of it, they were coming around to
see if we needed anything more, and Elder Callister and I were busy waving a
white napkin flag of surrender. Holy cow, yeah that was so good but I felt
awful afterward. It was a good awful though.
Thursday
night, I decided that I would try and help my fever-stricken companion by
making some soup - so I made some red pea soup and it was pretty spicy but it
tasted alright... until the next day.
Yeah, no bueno.
The
rest of the week was pretty normal. We are going to Mandeville today for a Halloween
party so that should be exciting. Elder Graham shared that he was creating a costume to go with
some dollar bill pants he had – where he picked those up I’m not sure but
PLEASE let there be pics of it next week!!
Enjoy
your week!
Love,
Elder
Graham
