Week 48, 49, and 50 - August 31, 2020

Hello, friends and fam!!

I'm still alive and love you tons, and am so sorry about being the worst e-mailer of 2020!  

So much has been happening over the past however-many-weeks it's been since I last wrote!!  I wish I could let y'all in on every detail haha.  Thanks everyone so much, though, for all the kind birthday messages!  I love you all so much!!  A bunch of the homies from the mission called me up to wish my a happy birthday as well, and it was the best thing ever.  

Elder Glass even made me the best birthday music video thing 😂. 

We even konteeked with Николай и Анна to celebrate!!  They were so sweet and gave me birthday wishes lol.  Love this mission!!))

I got my new companion, Elder Ospina!  He's from Colombia/Canada.  He's awesome, I love the guy.  

These three weeks have honestly been so legit together.  We have been getting tons of work done, he speaks super good Russian so that's been helping a ton, and I have been teaching him the ways of звёздые империи (that card game we always play), but literally crush him every time.  I have never beat anyone so bad in this game.  I'm scared it's crushing his spirit lol.  

In short, this transfer has been awesome with him thus far.  I will probably stay here with him one more transfer after this one, and send him off seeing as that he will he finishing his mission then.  Sidenote, he has taught me new ways to kill spiders... with homemade mini flame throwers lol.  

Also, we bought a taser and he has scared me with it multiple times already lol. 

Also, if anyone is wondering why I added the picture of the wall art, it's because I thought the man looked like a different race version of Stephan Curry 😂.  

Also, we found the CUTESTTT porky pine (hedgehog), omg adorable haha.  

We finally have the opportunity to join an in-person Zone Conference this Friday as well!!  It's our first one in forever, we are so excited!!))

I love you all so much and will try to be better with the emails!!  Enjoy all these pictures, though, in the meantime!!))

Elder Wilde ❤
