Hit by a Car?!

Hey y'all!! 


Well Texas has been quite the adventure! I'm continuing to learn and become a better missionary everyday. Always something for me to be working on. We aren't getting a lot of referrals....actually none, but the members sure are serious about getting us fed for dinner! At elders quorum that asked us how many days we didn't have meals for, and we said we had four days. And the ward mission leader was like, "that's unacceptable! I want four volunteers right now. Raise y’alls hands." And I was thinking like, "Wow, I mean I actually like cooking and we have plenty of food to miss a few days...." but I guess I won't need to buy so much, haha.

Lately we have spent most of our time finding. So knocking doors, street contacting, and bike contacting. We have scheduled lessons but almost all fall through unfortunately. However we taught the restoration to a man named Damian who hopefully will come to church next week!

To pay respect to the title, I wasn't the one hit by a car....it was my trainer lol. Basically we were biking down a sidewalk and he's leading the way. And we are going right next to a highway and there was an entrance to a gas station with a black car coming out of it. However, it slowed down at the intersection because first there were cars coming so it wouldn't have made it, and second we presumed it saw us. But nope! It sped up to edged out and nailed my comp!! He was thrown onto the car and then rolled off. But then he stood up and limped over to me and was like wow. That hurt. But I'm okay and the bike's okay sooo yup. And I was shocked but like umm okay. So we continued on our way. (The guy who hit us was super sorry and kept trying to give us him name and number just in case but my comp was like nah I'm fine. Afterward I realized I missed a perfect opportunity to say we are even if u meet with us and read all of 1 Nephi. Cause he would have probs done it lol! So something to work on!! I gotta get better at inviting EVERYONE I can haha.

Also personal study has been ON POINT. Like I've been reading in 3 Nephi again and man I just get so spiritually filled after reading that. Like for the whole day afterward and I just keep reading the next day. Btw the Book of Mormon makes a lot more sense when u read it for an hour at a time and are actively marking scriptures.

Anywho, HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!!

Fractured my foot?

  It's been solid. I might have fractured my foot last pday playing soccer. I swung so hard at the ball but hit Sister Vaughn's foot instead and smoked myself. It got all swollen and red and purple for a few days. But it was doing better! Enough for us to play spike ball as a district every morning for exercise lol. I've got no time. Photo dump

My dad got hit by a car?!?

Image
Phew!! What a week.  It was crazy. I got a text on Wednesday that my Dad got hit by a car while riding his bike to work. I was like GASP. He fractured a bunch of bones on the right side of his face and sinus, but he's okay thanks to the miracles of God. Like seriously, God was watching over him. Me and my comp immediately started pouring out our hearts in prayer for my dad. And he's okay! Thank you Heavenly Father that I can still see him during my life on Earth:) God is such a legend for that, haha! Spiritual thought: My mind took an eternal perspective this week because of what happened with my dad. It's crazy how fast something can happen, and it really made me realize how much I cherish my family. Family is EVERYTHING. It's literally what makes Heaven, home. Truly makes a person "think Celestial" when an accident happens. We are truly blessed having the knowledge of God's plan--don't take advantage of it!! Miracle lady: Found a really cool lady who

People passing out-->ZC training-->CAR hits comp-->God's will

  WOAH.  LIKE WOAH.  I MEAN WOOOOOOAAAAAH. This week has been crazy! So much has happened. First was coining on the military base. The sun was out and it was HOT! Someone passed out and fell straight on their face on cement and got reallyyyyy injured so they totally changed the coining ceremony. People were dropping like flies. We went to the graduates under one of the training facilities, and there was a HUGE FLAG.  CAR CRASH?!?!?! Yup, I went to Heritage, which is a biking area, and we were flying down a hill on the ride side and a HUMONGOUS RED.... Prius...SLAMMED INTO MY COMP.  Jkjk that was over exaggerated. But my companion is fine, just got sideswiped by it. We got all the information from them, and I pressured them into meeting with us at least once because they ran into my companion, lol. I'm all about finding those Nations, haha. The person driving was a kid who just had his permit and he didn't even signal. ELECT DUDE: Put a super cool man on date! First lesson was t
