LAST EMAIL!!!

Image
  Hello all!! No I am not dead, not yet that is.  These last few months have been awesome. I have been with Elder Navarro, and my last companion Elder Graham. We have had an amazing time talking to people on all forms of communication, Facebook, Instagram, random calling, knocking a few doors, talking to people on the street, even talking to people at stoplights, and getting their number to share a message with them later on! I have been on exchanges all around the surrounding areas, Fayetteville, Jasper, Mcminnville, and it has been so fun! Even a few trips to Nashville here and there for meetings. Things have been very busy. This last week in the field we have a baptism scheduled for our friend Savannah! She is the wife of another recent convert Eric, whose baptism I got to participate in back in late November. We are really excited about that. I have learned so much on my mission, I don't want to say too much about it now, as it will be included in my homecoming talk, but t...

Anyone else procrastinate?

  Week 89,90,91,92 First off, sorry everyone for not being very good at my emails/blog posts lately. I promise it's NOT because I don't care and NOT because I have given up and am just majorly trunky. I would be lying if I said I had NO time to do it, but we have just been SO busy, that everytime I do have a free moment, I'd rather rest lol. With that being said instead of the format I've done the last 21 months, I am just going to do weekly highlights from this point forward, who cares what I was eating anyway, right?  Week 89: This week was good! I had the opportunity to do baptismal interviews for 2 kids named Charles and Natalia, they are getting baptized this Sunday and they are really excited! BUT, CRAZIEST THING HAPPENED, our church had a gas leak and in the middle of fast and testimony meeting they had us evacuate and then after some discussion by the leaders, dismissed us and this pushed the kids baptism back a week, but that's okay, it was still insane tho...

Happy Halloween, I'm Not Dead Yet!

  Week 88 Wed: Today was good. We went and played basketball and then went and ate with the Manchester Hermanas and Brother Lynn for the last time as today is transfers. Elder Allred left and that was sad, but it'll be okay! Elder Richins is here now and he seems dope! We had an amazing lesson with Blake and Tammie teaching the restoration and Tammie seemed to really enjoy it! Other than that we contacted a lot of people trying to find, but nothing too crazy tonight!  Thur: Today honestly not too much went on. The highlight was definitely the baptismal interview I was able to do for this lady named Phyllis in Pikeville over messenger. She did great and so that was awesome! We went and visited Steven and nothing too much happened with that... we are going to have to stop going by for awhile. The church set up decorations for Halloween tomorrow and it looks crazy! They went all out! Super excited for tomorrow!  Fri: We had a good weekly planning today! And then we had an aw...

McMinnville Exchange!

  Wednesday: Today was pretty chill, we went and played basketball, hung out at home and talked to friends and family, I got a hair cut, and then we went shopping! We had a good night of work, talked to a few people and found a cool guy named David on the phone! He was super complimentary and we became good friends even though we believed differently and because of that he was interested in talking more so that was a good lesson for me.  Thursday: Today was pretty good! We were driving by an apartment complex and I saw this lady outside, I knew we should talk to her and swung into the parking lot. We shared the restoration with her, her name is Kimberly and she seemed really receptive! We set a return appointment and told her we'd bring a member back with us! It was so cool! Then we went and dropped off a Book of Mormon to Breanna at her work and her hecking Baptist Co workers made it super awkward and so we ended up testifying to all of them about the message we share, but yo...
