These past few days have been long!
At the beginning of the week I said goodbye to a lot of people in the Canyon Lake ward/area. I'm really going to miss it up there. That ward and stake has some of the best people I've met in my intire life!
I got to New Braunfels Thursday afternoon. I picked up my new companion at transfers; his name is Elder Godfrey. Honestly, he is an amazing missionary. He knows what he's doing, he's focused on his purpose, and he's fun to be around. That's all I could ask for in a companion. Now, the area isn't in the best shape. They have about 2 people they were teaching. So the last few days we haven't had any lessons and it's just been a finding grind. We've street contacted probably 6-7 hours total, knocked doors for about 2-3 hours, and been calling people for about 3-4 hours all in total. Lastly, we got kicked out and apartment complex yesterday. I was super annoyed because we had just knocked on someone's door. We were having a great conversation! Then the property manager walked up and kicked us right out. It's also been 100°+ the past week, plus humidity. So we've been dead tired at the end of the night.
The ward is amazing though! I already feel so comfortable and feel like it's home. The ward has about 130 people that come to church weekly. We also had the opportunity to pass the sacrament. Which is always a honor.
Saturday evening we hit up Bucees and got their brisket sandwich. Oh my heavens it was good. New Braunfels has the most food places I've seen in my life, I want to try them all, however if I did I'd probably weigh 400lbs and have tons of debt. Honestly, it's crazy how many food places they have.
Love,
Elder Larsen
