Well the story of this week was rain. And that’s about it. It rained every day for a good while. Towards the end of the week there was a ton of flash flooding and mudslides happening in Knoxville and throughout the whole mission. Even a couple of churches got flooded. A lot of roads around this area got flooded as well so as a result they had to cancel church this Sunday which was weird. Hopefully things will get cleared up soon.
Probably the highlight of the week was meeting a man named Oscar and his family. They all just recently moved here from Honduras and don’t speak English. We were tracting this trailer park late at night in the rain and he opened the door super confused and said he doesn’t speak English. So again I got to stumble through a Spanish conversation and he ended up letting us in, haha. I guess I need to start studying some more Spanish again. But once we got in we had a good conversation with him via google translate on his phone. We are going back to see him on Tuesday night, where I will exchange with one of the ZLs who speaks Spanish and also going with our ward mission leader who speaks Spanish so it should be good.
Other than that is was a really wet week of tracting, so that’s always interesting. Had a guy show us the way off his porch with his AR-15, so that was nice of him.
Hope y’all have a good week,
Elder Roden
