Found a Couch and Singing is Sweet!

 What's going on y'all?!?! Hope life is treating y'all well and you're continuing to grow that relationship with God....cause it's pretty important. 

So I have been on my mission these past 8 months, and wow, it's been sweet! This week we got asked by a member to sing at a funeral because she really liked us singing at church and felt the spirit which was what we were going for! So we asked what she wanted us to sing and she didn't know, so we were like, "What about 'It is Well With My Soul'?" And she loved the idea, so we've been practicing our best haha, and praying we do a half decent job. But everyone there is going to be nonmembers as well so hopefully some hearts are softened enough for us to sneak in THE TRUTH! 

Also mentioned to our Zone leaders how we sang at church and they asked us to sing it at Zone Conference in front of like 70 missionaries. So that was terrifying but went great! There was a little added vibrato cause I was shaking, hahaha. It's one thing to sing in front of old people, it's another to sing in front of Elders and Sisters your age haha. 

And we were doing some service for a member, and they asked us to drag their couch outside to the sidewalk because someone would take it....and we were like, "Ummmmmmmm, could we be blessed by you and take your glorious couch?" And she was like, sure, I don't want it. So we were like COOL THX. And we snagged the most wonderful couch ever. It has recliners. It has pure comfort. It has a small tear in it from a knife. It has HEATED seats! (Not sure who'd want heated seats in Texas, but hey come what may) And most gloriously, it has vibrating seats--YEAH, I KNOW, WE ARE LIVING IN LUXURY. 

Had quite a few wonderful lessons but I don't have much time. Simply put, we shook their very spirits and ignited a glorious burning flame to read the Book of Mormon and find out if it's true. 
So 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
