Marshmallow Roasting

 I got zero time, BUT!!!

HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS


We "accidentally" came across some members who were roasting marshmallows with their nonmember friends and "happened" to set a return appointment with them. It's a family with two boys who, after 5 min, we were suddenly best friends, and they said, "We want to show you our LEGOS!!! AND OUR STUFF!!" And we were like, hey, ask your parents if we can come over;) and then we came over, and they showed us their stuff, and of course, we shared some restored truth. They invited us back over for dinner this Monday too, which is sweet. 

Then we had a member meal, and it was so cool. The young boys challenged me to corn hole not expecting me to be any good. They now owe me twenty bucks, jkjk but that's what they said. Also, the dad has the SWEETEST MUSIC SET UP EVER. IT'S GOT IT ALL AND MANNNNN IT IS SO NICE. He said we could come over on a Pday if we wanted to so y'all already know I'm gonna hit that up. Maybe write a song or something. That'd be pretty sweet:)

Got three friends to church: a member invited a neighbor to FSY, and now he's all the way in Helaman with the Book of Mormon, another member had a friend ask if she can come to her church, and we met with the girlfriend of a member. Also, our recent convert blessed the sacrament. 

AND WE GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!! SO FLIPPING AWESOME. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Spiritual thought: We do everything we can to bring the spirit into our lives. We pray constantly, study our scriptures diligently, and muster all the faith we can to bring the spirit into our lives and our friends' lives. The spirit is so important. It is by the spirit that we know that the Book of Mormon is true. It testifies of Truth, and as we listen, we can find hope, peace, joy, and eternal happiness. As missionaries, we do everything we can to bring that spirit. We bring it to their hearts, but we can't bring it into their hearts unless they allow it. And that's something I've been thinking about this week. How it is an active choice to listen to the spirit. It's something that we have to choose to do. Sometimes at church I get distracted, and I lose focus. But recently, as I actively tried to feel the spirit, I realized that it is always there. Always. The testimony of those we meet can strengthen my own testimony. The testimony of other missionaries has so much power and authority, but if we aren't listening to the spirit, we won't have it entering our hearts! You have to actively choose to listen, and when we choose to listen, we can know the truth! Y'all have a wonderful week. God bless.

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

  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
