Very Slow Week

Hey yall how have you all been?  Hope you all had a good week


This week kinda sucked not going to lie. In the beginning it was VERY slow we had like 1 or 2 new friends and maybe 1 member in on a lesson until like Friday.  So motivation was low but we were determined to hit our goals and on Saturday, I think, we were able to find a family of three and a couple more people and we ended up passing our "new people found" goal but we didn't manage to hit our member lesson goal which was sad, but a lot of the members were busy so we did the most we could


This week we also did some service for this one member who is from South Africa and has lived here for a while, but he's pretty white wash so he doesn't really have a accent, but you can still kinda hear it.  We helped him take some stuff to the dump and we filled a whole 8ft truck bed with compost and took it back to his house and unloaded it all in a little garden that they were starting.  It was really hot and sunny and I ended up getting a little sunburn, but after we finished he took us to panda express to get some food.


We had a lot of hype lessons and talked to a lot for cool people.  And actually, on Sunday our friend Daniel who we haven't talked to for like 3 weeks, called us out of the blue and asked us to schedule his baptismal interview so that was sick.  He is determined to get baptized so he could be getting baptized at the end of June.  Our other friend on date, Amada, we found out that she is in the hospital.  So, lots of prayers for both of them


Romans 8:39


Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord 


There is absolutely nothing that can separate us from God being there for us and loving us his plan is carefully designed to be a straight path right back to him and there is nothing in his plan that would point us away. That's because he loves us and made it super simple for us to be able to return to him through his son Jesus Christ


Love you all 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...
