Lessons Learned in a Camo Jumpsuit



Hey y'all!!

I decided to switch things up this week and report something a little different this week. So, since I've been out for almost 4 months, I decided to write down a few things I've learned while being on my mission.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED AS A MISSIONARY:
Elder Pena and Elder Roderick go
"Redneck Hunting."

1.  The world doesn’t revolve around Matthew Roderick (anymore).
2. The Church is TRUE.
3. Jesus Christ is my Savior.
4. Teaching Primary is the BEST job in the Church.
5. A busy missionary is a happy missionary.
6. When you're a missionary, you're invincible.
7. You must get used to people staring at you for an extra ten seconds.   (I guess a guy wearing white shirt and tie in Walmart isn't normal.)
8. You can’t take everything personally. (Except when your mom sends you Listerine as a Christmas gift...then you take that personally).
9. You can be the most righteous person in the world but God doesn't love you any more than the homeless man on the side of the road.
10.  Three Elders knocking on doors at night is a perfect way to scare people half to death.
11.  If you go hunting with a member, you better wear a camo jumpsuit.
12.  If you want the local ward to like you, grab a member and shove pie in his face. It'll be all over Insta- gram in seconds.
13. You actually have an excuse to be annoying by talking everyone.
14.  Don't Bible bash...but when you do, WIN AND MAKE SURE YOUR OPPONENT KNOWS IT.
15. Miracles actually happen!
Elder Roderick thanks his Thanksgiving
host with a fist full of pie. 
  
Have a great week!! Love you all!
