Blacker, Dekan

      These last 2 weeks have just kinda gone by with nothing too crazy to speak of; however I'll share what's notable.       I continue to be getting better and better and more and more ready to go proselyting. Right now, I'm thinking another 2ish weeks before I go back, but we'll see what happens. One thing I'm realizing more and more is that the transition back to proselyting is not going to be an easy one. I don't even think it matters how long I wait to go back to proselyting because it'll be difficult either way. I'm truthfully pretty scared to go back because I'm afraid of the pain, but I know that it'll be where I'm happiest. I just have to get past the wall, which is a much easier wall to get around than the one that I just did because sheesh that was so hard.        You guys helped me get over the wall though; and I'm so grateful for all of you guys for helping and supporting me. Something really super duper cool that happened ...

I can tell that I'm continuing to get better and better as I'll occasionally catch myself doing things that the "old" Elder Blacker would do.        In terms of what I'm doing to serve my mission, I don't know how the heck to classify myself. I could say that I'm a service missionary, but not really and I could say that I'm a proselyting missionary, but not really. It's actually so cool. I remember growing up and people would play "Dekan rules" for Ping Pong (Basically just play until it hits the floor). I feel like I'm playing Dekan rules on my mission. I've become even more of an anomaly over the past 2 weeks swapping back and forth from service and proselyting all willy nilly. Basically, I get to wake up and decide whether I want to go proselyting or service for the day or even for part of the day. There have been days where I spent the entire day proselyting, da...
