  Monday was wild we drove for like 4 hours traffic was awful swear my comp and I were road raging everyone kept speeding cutting off and doing Virginia and Maryland things. People are built different here.     Tuesday was wild two people were going home and transfer news came. We went to a hick restaurant and had some bison burgers for our zone leaders dying wish after district council. My comp and I taught a Book Of Mormon class and it was so powerful being able to read with a group of people and testify and teach of the spirit and it's role in receiving a witness of Christ and of the Book Of Mormon and all 9 people in the room including me made the commitment to pray about the Book Of Mormon and it was so powerful. One of those knee shakers fr. We got transfer news and I'm staying which is gonna be good for the area we are doing some great stuff. Transfers were wild though they whitewashed the aps and blue washed, white washed the zone leading area here and create...

  P-day was hype we played football, basketball, and pickleballlll.  I won 8 games in a row and lost 0. Shoutout to my pickleball buddy Elder Gus Murray for playing 24/7 with me back at home.    Tuesday was chill a nice change of pace. We had district council in the morning service in the afternoon dinner with a member and 2 member lessons following that. District council was so fun we had good missionary minded discussions while having fun. I had a whoopee cushion and used it on the district leader it was so funny. I need help. One of our members got married, the husband is a non member but he is a homie iv known him since I got out it's always a hoot with them but they got married last week! Overall chill day and had some random phone call lessons.    Wednesday was hype we had Red Cross and the regional manager for red cross was just bullying Elder Tuala the whole time it was so funny. She's Like our mom always chastising and roasting us but with love, we...

  Aye what's good gang? Monday was hype we played wiffle ball and pickleball which made me a very happy man. It was very much needed. We went to Chik fila and it was buss I haven't had in like over 5 years for no reason.  My friend paid for it with personal funds all because I offered to pay for him with my msf then he turned his back on me and paid for the both of us,  what a man. We also put our friend Dominique on date and taught her the wow!   She is so elect she literally stopped smoking weed like a year ago even though her friends made fun.  She is so prepared so pray for her!        Ya'll Tuesday was much needed. We finally had district council and did amazing trainings and it helped me get back in the rhythm of things and get hyped to find people, plus the spirit was totally there andddd we had interviews with President Mc Phearson which (by the way) this time I didn't ball my eyes out like last time. President gave me the g...

   Monday was pretty good for P-day we just played basketball in the inner-city got a fresh cut and ate some good stuff not much happening      Tuesday we had the most out of pocket lesson ever it was low-key an L day I don't even know what happened  first off we didn't have district council so it threw off our whole day and we ended up meeting someone named miss juicy that was fun haha but what was actually wild was our lesson with Marqui so Marqui super cool guy been reading the Book Of Mormon and praying with us called us up and we had a lesson with him. We shared a scripture in Moroni and the word Israel was mentioned and he just starting ranting about 5 percenters and the Hebrew Israelites and started warning us about them and he just went off about it forever. Bro pulled up a YouTube video of them bashing random Christians off the street and he was just rambling. Then bro starting talking about Gay propaganda and how everything is Gay now an...

  Hey yall how is everyone doing! This week was incredibly interesting to say the least. From the highest highs to the lowest of lows. Straight pure Joy to to straight depression,  we also had some interesting contacts to say the least but let's start off strong.     Monday was hype we went after going to George Washington's house for the third time we went and had a baller evening. Since I was previously beating myself up and being depressed because our friend who was on date fell off hasn't responded to us I was like fed up so I shot up one of those mighty prayers praying for specific friends to find and just throwing all of my faith in the lord out there.  The fifth door we knocked that night a mother with 5 younger children answered and the mom just got off of work and was tired, maybe slightly interested said we can come back another time. Before the conversation ends and she shuts the door we start talking to her little kids  (they are do cute and fun...

  What is up everyone hope ya'll had a great week and are having a great life. Enjoy your music for those of you who are not on a mission that stuff is legit I been missing it this week.  Besides that my last email I was feeling a little overwhelmed and stuff but I'm big chilling now except I had a fat headache for like the first half of the week I got sick with a cold or something and I am still recovering but it's all good the work never stops.    Every day when I wake up my comp and I look outside and go..."Is it sweater weather is it sweater weather??" And then we would check the weather and the high for the day would be like 84 and we would just pray for sweater weather to come quicker cause I loveee fall it makes life so much greater when I can wake up and put a sweater on something about it.    This week my companion and I who by the way has been way happier and optimistic,  get along great. We share some similar humor and this week we have had ...

  Ayeee what's good gang. This past week has been absolutely wild without a doubt. So many miracles, so much work, so much stress, so much change, and so many blessings.  To start off last Monday my comp was packing to go home and come Tuesday we run an exchange and my good friend Elder Tuala and I popped off we had so much fun and found so many friends and even put our good friend Dominique on date for baptism on September 28th!! Please pray for her she's so awesome.      Anyways that same day we dropped off Elder swan so since we were on an exchange with Elder Tuala I was the only one able to plan the day and work area book and the phone. Then come Wednesday I got thrown into a trio companionship outside of my area but yet I was still In charge of my area so I just did a ton of phone work and keep track of the 15 friends we had and all the plans and schedules by myself I was just cooked.   Come transfers on Thursday I meet my new companion and for the fir...

  What a w week(w for weird), What an L weekend   This week has been weird I'm not gonna lie for the most part it's been good I love personal study now and it's amazing God is so good! Tuesday we struggled for a fat minute we had a lesson with an 8 year old girl who's on date but her fam got sick so we are having to push her baptism back another week and all our lessons after that flew out the window and we couldn't get anyone at book of Mormon class either. That same night two people who I thought were cool that we met previously and set up a church tour with trolled us come to find out after running into him a second time he was actually trolling us and gave us a fake number twice oh and he was with a friend who also gave us his real number then blocked us so that was fun.  Wednesday was a w again, our spirits were low for a minute after dinner but I was like nah I ain't about to have another L day so I called upon the Lord with genuine faith and boldness that...

  Well this week was something special . Just right off the bat this has been the hardest most sacred most spiritual and most successful week out here. L et me explain..... First off this week has nothing to do with Zach Bryan  it just has been a unique week. Monday was hype we went to the united states national army museum for free and it was so cool. Tuesday was wilddddd I woke up and my brother and sister in law had a baby girl and I became and uncle  I was feeling things I'm not sure I have felt to an extent....I was happy but sad, excited and confused...life never really is the same once you graduate high school and get set apart as a Missionary and it finally hit me things will never be the same but what a wonderful blessing that is...we get the opportunity to come here to this earth to learn grow and experience all of these things so that one day we can return to the father through his son Jesus Christ! Tuesday was a sacred day I happened to have an interview with ...

  What up what up what up. My last P-day was Thursday so it hasn't been that long since my last email butttt It's the mission and something cool is always happening . I'll start off I mentioned how I am red cross these days but what's even cooler is we are the first missionaries to do it on military installations and what the general authority, and military relations missionaries are doing is building a relationship between the church and the United States military. One way they are doing that is working with the red cross and creating opportunities for missionaries to enlist as red cross volunteers starting right here in Fort Belvoir Virginia the largest united states military base.   Not only that they are working with the red cross to sometime in the future have missionaries on every military installation across the world as red cross volunteers and us four Elders in the district are the pioneers so that's so exciting.  We also met a lady named Stephanie who'...

  This week (almost two weeks have been absolutely wild from registering to the red cross on Fort Belvoir (a huge military post not a lot of people are able to get on) all the way from back to back exchanges, sick days for my comp, dinner with members finally, and flat tires (shoutout to padre for teaching me my comp had no idea how to change a flat) We have just been going going going.  We have one friend named John who's been through a lot and is going through a lot and he is so close to accepting our invitation to be baptized but is so depressed that sometimes he won't let the spirit enter his life which is so sad to see but he is the nicest Guy and I love him so much so just pray for him. I LOVEEE Wednesdays let me tell you why...Every Wednesday we are on Fort Belvoir doing red cross service with the senior missionaries who are military relations which is super cool. They have served 4 missions together from Fiji, Salt Lake and as military relations in DC south which basic...

  Eldersss, Sistersss Friends, and family I am just gonna start off by saying this was a Rollercoaster of a week. We had some highs some lows and some unusuals.  The week started off awesome after P-day that Monday we went knocking and this guy let us in turns out he has met with missionary's before and already knew the whole doctrine of Christ and has a testimony of it and prays everyday and listens to the book of Mormon every day and we both felt prompted to invite him to be baptized!! Turns out he was previously on probation and that's why he was taught everything but wasn't baptized he will need first presidency approval and will need to show commitment since being off poral so pray for him. His name is Daniel and he is really wanting to be baptized and I want to help him get there.  This week I also got to teach a super sweet 8 year old girl the doctrine of baptism and her family is nonmember but super supportive and I was able to help her pray to her father in heave...
