Twins on date

 We got a super awesome family to church!! They LOVED it! It's 2 girls, a son, and a mom. We are meeting with them again tonight, but they are elect. The girls loved primary and were so happy to be at church. They have a difficult situation going on in their family so it provided some needed peace in their lives and took their minds off of it. 

Twins:
We also have started teaching a part member family and their twin girls. They are precious, and they want to be baptized on their 10th birthday. Their grandpa is active and takes them to church. We taught them a couple times, and the first was on keeping the Sabbath day holy. One of the precious girls shared how one time they went fishing with their nonmember mom instead of going to church, and she felt sad. She realized it was the Spirit! I was on exchanges with Elder Wood, so we sang an impromptu "Reverence is Love". It was really cool

A ton of our recent converts also got callings. Ramiro and Saul are Sunday school teachers and Josie is a primary teacher! They are such studs!

Spiritual Thought:
Had an exchange with an old companion. It's been a year since we've been together. I'm so impressed with Elder Wood--we had an amazing exchange. Received some clarity regarding myself and realized I've become a lot more self-aware in regard to my emotions, actions, and, most importantly, the Spirit in my own heart and mind. It took him pointing it out for me to realize the change in my life. I truly counsel with the lord a lot more than I did a year ago with Elder Wood, and I've seen the miracles from it. I have been changed by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and I am so different than how I used to be. Truly am grateful for this fresh perspective and the knowledge that I really am becoming more Christlike bit by bit. That I haven't stopped progressing. And it's the same for all of you! Look inside yourselves and analyze your heart and mind throughout your day. I promise you will find out more about yourself than you currently know and that you will see what God sees just a little better. 

Ran to the Alamo from our apt with Elder Wood. It was so legendary!!

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
