08/10/2020 Look at this ugly badger

Hope you're week was good! Ours was definitely interesting. 

Someone we are working with who was on date for baptism had to take herself off date. She is so awesome though. As it says in Preach My Gospel, everyone ultimately has their agency to chose to reject our message. But she is sooo prepared so there will definitely be some missionaries in the future who will be blessed with the opportunity to continue to teach her and help her along the covenant path. 

Also, a further progression in the case of the elusive second set of missionaries that are supposed to be in Beebe. Elder Baird, who has been waiting for a companion in Danville, AR, is now being transferred to Bartlett, TN, so that means that until further notice, Elder Danielson and I are the only Elders assigned to Beebe for the time being. 

We had a lot of interesting street contacts as well. We went up to McRae (population: 650) to go street contacting and the first and only person we meet (we spoke for an hour and a half) is a pretty cool blind lady who lives alone and supposedly owns 30 dogs. That. Is. Many. Dogs. Anyways, to make a long story short, we are going to help her do family history! 

Pictures
1) look at this ugly badger. The Beebe Public Schools have this sculpture on display right outside the high school. Ready to spring into action at the very sight of danger. 

2) we had zone P Day last week. If you zoom in really close to Elder Carrier and I, we look like regularly sized human adult males. 

3) Beebe graffiti

So Elder Matt (EM) is serving in the Arkansas Little Rock mission. He was dropped off at the MTC in Provo by his brother, his sister, and brother in law. on the way to the airport in MN on Tuesday Laters How can babies walk away from their parents this easily??? "OK you can go now" In N Out Burger before the MTC induction on Wednesday. EM's brother says there were other families at the restaurant that were going to be dropping off their missionaries leaving sister's apartment MTC parking garage drop off And about an hour later, EM sent his first email: I have arrived at the MTC alive. Paul, Hayley, and Austin did a good job dropping me off and keeping me company. Next week Thursday is my P day. That's when you can expect to receive an email from me next.

Week 2 of the MTC. It definitely went faster than the first week. This email is just going to be a splatter of experiences, descriptions, and stories probably. More about my companion: Elder Miller is from Arizona. He likes basketball, and played on a national team in high school, which is pretty rad. He's pretty goofy and can make everyone in the district laugh. He likes rap and country music the most, so we're kind of on the opposite when regards to the music spectrum.  MTC cafeteria food is a hit-miss. The breakfasts have gotten old really fast. It's the same "egg loaf" (scrambled eggs that's really more of a loaf than a scramble), bad ham, and oversalted hash browns every other day. The lunches and dinners range from great to bad. For the most part it's better than what I ate in college, but that's because I was paying for food and being super cheap, I ate sandwiches and rice. We sit together as a district for most meals. We're all pre
