What Happened

Sup yall hope yall are doing good.


I'm going to be totally honest, I can't remember much of what happened this week but I will try my best to write this email.


Of course this week we had our normal everyday drivin around knocking on some peeps doors and trying our best to find people.  We did "find" this guy named Jose but really we had been texting him for a little bit but when ever we wanted to meet he either wouldn't show or he was busy.  He sent a second referral for himself with his address, so now we know where he live and we were finally able to meet with him.  He's a super good guy,  def has potential but we will see.  Jose referred this lady to us named April she is also a super cool lady but is really struggling in life.  She seems a little interested but we will see what happens this next week.


On Wednesday we also were able to do a bit of service for some older couple in the branch that have a hard time walking around so we went over to their house and raked their yard for them.  We fully filled like 30 ish bags which was crazy I hate raking leaves but being a missionary I have to love it


But  after Wednesday I can't remember of anything that really happened until Sunday.  On Sunday our branch president had all of the young men and their leaders including us Elders sing in sacrament meeting and yikes it definitely could have been better.  After that we didn't really have time to do anything else because we went to Omaha, which is like an hour and a half drive for us, for this thing called "Why I Believe" where any recent converts in out mission can go and share their testimony and their conversion story.  We had our amazing convert named Sherri and wow her testimony is amazing and she is such a great person but going to that pretty much took up the rest of the night


But since it was pretty late at night we stayed at our ZLs apartment with two other sets of Elders and there was definitely some shenanigans and tom-foolery that happend that night.  When it came time to go to bed all six of us (not including our ZLs) went into their room and we all slept on the floor but the ZLs stayed in their beds but there was still some goofin off that was happening and one of the zone leaders didn't like it too much but it was kinda funny.


I'm sure you have all seen we have a new apostle which is epic!  I love his Lil accent. can't wait to hear from him in general conference 


D&C 50:24
24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day


With it being Christmas we need to recognize the light Chirst gives us and we need to take and use that light to light other people's life

Love you all hope you have a good week

Hey yall! Hopw you had a good week and a good 4th.  This week was pretty good. This week was transfer week so things were a little crazy but me and my comp are both staying here in Brookings which is lit, but nothing really to crazy happend with transfers sooooo. But of course we had the 4th of July this week and sadly, cuz this ward is a little wack, no one invited us over for a party or fireworks so we were on our own.  We went to Walmart and bought a cheap charcoal grill and we whipped up some mash potatoes and some steaks. But after that we tried to go and played Frisbee golf and as soon as we started playing the first hole we were getting swarmed by like 40-50+ mosquitos.   Because of that, the second we finished the first hole we booked it back to our car and left and went bowling. Sadly since it was raining no one was really shooting off fireworks but on Friday we started to hear a lot of fire works and we realized it was the city shooting them off so we hopped in ...

Hey yall hope you had a great week! So this week was the last week of the transfer and I was really hoping that I was going to leave.  But unfortunately, I am staying for a 4th transfer here in Brookings.  Now I'm not upset that I get to stay here, I mean I love it here.  But it's only fun as a missionary for like 4 and a half months and then it gets boring.  But I'm excited as well.  We have some awseome people we are teaching who have a lot of potential. This week we had a lesson with our friend Lowless and he is a super cool guy.  He is from Papua New Guinea and he is a such a cool guy.  He is very introverted and very soft spoken so it was kinda hard for him to talk to the members, but he will get more comfortable as he comes more.  But the craziest thing is that he has only been in the US for three weeks.  He is here with some program where he comes to SDSU for school, but hopefully we will be able to set him on date for baptism. Anyways...

How's it going peeps?  I hope y'alls weeks was great!!!   This week was baller we had zone conference so that was swag. Tuesday was just a regular normal day just knocking doors and trying to find some people to teach. Since our area is super big we cover many small little towns and we recently got a referal for this lady next to this one small town called Cumberland. So on this day we decided to go down there to see if we could talk to a few people but it really sucked since literally nobody was home and the lady that we had the referral for said that she didn't want to meet with us yet since she has like issues with her husband so she didn't want us to come over. So the whole like 25-30 minute drive to this small town was all for nothing, so that sucked. Then when we got back we went over to a recent converts house to help him move some stuff in his nasty garage and when i say this garage was nasty is was NASTY so after that, I just ended the night. But on Wednesday n...
