Singing in Front of a Crowd of Cowboys

 Wow.

This week

has been wild. 

Very wild.

To get started, me and my companion had a wonderful wonderful lesson with a family that we're teaching. We had taught the restoration before, but we didn't have a chance to go into the Book of Mormon. And so we had a lesson that we had crafted to really hone down on the Book of Mormon. We testified, and we read, and we felt the spirit strongly. The Book of Mormon has such a special place in my heart, and a very special place in this church. It's truthfulness is the key to everything. It allows us to not have to worry, or fear regarding our own salvation. Because if the Book of Mormon is true, God has the church on the Earth today. A church with His power and authority, and prophets and apostles to lead it, Jesus Christ being the head. And that all hinges on one thing. And that's praying to know if the Book of Mormon is true. It's something that you need to have a sincere heart, faith in Jesus Christ, and willing to act on the answer you receive in order to get that answer. But if you are diligent and truly care and truly read, that is a promise from the Almighty God that you will receive that Witness. And God does not break His promises. During this lesson the Spirit witnessed to me again that the Book of Mormon is true. I had a mighty burning in my bosom and I knew that if I felt the Spirit that they did too.

I also had the crazy awesome experience to sing in front of a bunch of folk here in Texas, haha. It was the Yorktown 175th anniversary and is a big event with lots of people and barbecue and music. It was super cool, and we were able to talk to a lot of people and one person asked if we could sing and we said yeah, and then they were like I'm going to sign you up to sing! And we were like whoa, okay. And then we ended up singing "It as well with My Soul". And it went really well! We got lots of compliments and were able to hopefully make an impression on them and that they were able to feel the Spirit. Super cool experience that I'll remember forever. I will say I was so scared, that I had no appetite to eat dinner that day. Like all the anxiety, haha. There was a senior couple there that said that they would buy me dinner too, and I couldn't take them up on it, haha.

Anyhow, super busy, 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?!?

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

  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
