Stories
- ah man, don't put too much sunscreen on your forehead then sweat. does NOT feel nice. i'm only wearing a hat for now on. ouch. miracles come in the teaching updates down there tho:)
- so, cool thing about the temple groundbreaking! the wind was crazy the whole time. just..... not at us. all around us, but nowhere nearby. and as SOON as we finished, as SOON as the dedicatory prayer was finished, it PICKED UP. like it was SO bad. so cool tho. also, the first people to break the ground were all of different faiths! jewish, catholic, baptist, methodist, you name it! they all had golden shovels!! it was SUPER cool!
- went on exchanges with Elder Durrant, my old DL! it was super fun, love that cutie. i wish i could expound more but i got 8 minutes left of p-day hehehehe
- did quite a bit of service this week! oh, how i miss it. i got worn out QUICK tho these ain't like them fruita days hazzy. i'm dying out here. wanna keep doing MORE tho AGH
- a member had MODDED nerf guns. they shot INSANELY fast, and had all metal components inside. didn't own a single real gun tho, for whatever reason. it was so sick tho, i got some vids in the link
- met a 3 month old golden retriever puppy who was BEST friends with this older cat. he bit, licked, and attacked that cat, and the cat did not care. it was ADORABLE
- got new guitar strings. whooooo buy it NEEDED them. so grateful. got a vid in the drive of me playing em. mmmmmmmm
- split my knuckle open. that's about it. don't punch things, even unintentionally kiddos. fun photos in the link, including a VERY ghetto way of trying to bandage it up
- gave a talk in church! it was lit, i love giving talks. i'll attach it at the end of the email for anyone who wants to listen!
- man. what a lazy p-day tho. last two have been INSANE. so, we chilled this time around. phewwww. alright, love y'all
- ohhhh the crush? i did a puzzle. that is the ONLY context you get.
Teaching Updates
- alright. this one is STACKED!!!! some not great stuff, but plenty of amazing stuff as well!
- so, first off, we found a whopping TWELVE new people to teach this week. how cool is that? unfortunately, NOBODY came to church. hmrnrgnmsdjhfadjkghashjdkhtlkb
- so, first things first, last monday night we started teaching a family of 5!! The Dubssssssss! i talked about them a little bit previously on an email, and we finally got em! great family. amazing people. the most awesome thing is that the sunscreen that got into my eyes didn't burn hardly at all when we were in that member lesson. as soon as we left, they hurt so bad i wanted to CLAW my eyes out. elder gustafson had to drive home. but, HUGE miracle right there.
- also started teaching the climber and the brother of climber! got a return appointment, and now we gotta buy some cucumbers. yup.
- ALSO started teaching Ant Man and Four wheel! finally got a return appointment with them too! super excited to keep going. it was crazy actually, we drove by their house on the way to a member lesson and i had the feeling to stop by, then on the way back from the member lesson, had the same thought. then! i actually voiced it to my companion and we flipped a u-turn and stopped by! invited the kid, fourwheel, to read the BoM to before he did homework. best case
- after we stopped by Ant man and Four wheel, we stopped by these other two awesome people we had given a resto pamphlet to a few weeks ago at someone else's house! they only gave us their street name, so we had to guess, but we found their cars EASY money. so that was awesome! literally the wifey went to her hubby and said "your favorite people are here!" they're super young, super awesome, and had a roommate who also wanted to hear the message! we were super bold, and it was awesome. so spirit led on all of these.
- unfortunately, bus frog lady needed to come to church yesterday to be baptized. she did not, so she fell off date :/
- on the other hand tho, miner straight up just said he wanted to join the church! when previously he said a hard no, but loved the BoM. so, huge progress there! and he gave us cool rocks:)))
- everyone else is doing well, but not too much progress. the guy who lives at the weird cult house wasn't there, we did service for another friend, but there's them updates! woohooooooo!!!
