Elder Branson Williams

Monday We celebrated my birthday with all of the other Elders and one of their birthdays happened to be on the 16th so that was cool...still crazy I turned 19. We also were led to find a less active part member who wasn't in our records and she is so cool she wants to find people for us to teach. Tuesday I had my first distric council and president Mac Phearsons wife sister Mac Phearson was there. It was a great district council though I focused so heavy on the Book Of Mormon and we came up with some action items and commissioned everyone to testify like crazy the power that comes from it. Sister Mac Phearson was hyped up for it and just Started bearing testimony on the Book Of Mormon. Later after that we went to visit our friend on date Ellie, and her sister answerd and we testified hardcore of the Book of Mormon and it was awesome. Walking back to our car we ran into some Turkish guy who offered us food at his restaurant and we taught him about the Book of Mormon hardcore and ...

Monday was pretty sweet we had a chill pday and had a great lesson on the atonement. The atonement is literally everything Tuesday was a very productive day haha. We made a lot of phone calls and had a lot of lessons over the phone, one of which was with our buddy Rue who we found at the Scottish parade last week. Turns out just us even inviting him to chuch has changed his whole focus and shifted his mood to a positive light. After that we gave preisthood blessings to the sisters in our district. I'll tell you what the power of the preisthood is real. I can't tell you a single thing I said in that blessing because they were not my words all I remember is the spirit felt. Wednesday was a wild day, at 6 am that morning I Just heard my companion groaning "Elder Williamssss my stomach hurts" next thing you know bro is in the bathroom throwing up, that morning at 8:15 we had to be at a chapel 45 minutes away for zone conference with two general authoritys...

Ayeee welcome back yall. Monday was chill we went to dicks sporting goods, played some basketball, and then went to a sports pub and got half off burgers and they were buss. That night we had a lesson on the atonement surrounding Christmas season and it was very spirit filled and then later that night I got a call from one of the mission presidency asking if I could train. Actually hyped! There is a a chance I'm white wash training or staying one or the other. Tuesday was pretty chill we had district council which was not that productive. We have some brainrot Elders in our district and it's the end of the transfer. We have two missionaries from china and the N word means "that" in Chinese and one of them just kept saying "that" in Chinese. We then went to have a buss lunch of bison burgers and then went back at it and had a miracle of a lesson knocking and got her so invested in church and it was amazing to see because people don't care about coming...

Brooo what is uppp, Monday we had a great pday. We went to the army museum and basically watched and saw the us go from 1776 army to what it is now and it's absolutely crazy. I love America and I Love God. That night I wasn't feeling it I felt our area was going in shambles and that all my hard labor has been in vain, but of course that ain't the case. We all feel down sometimes it's ok. Tuesday was a crazy day I ain't even gonna lie. That morning I was so unmotivated due to the previous night and I had like sleep paralysis in the morning which sucked. I missed exercising and so I did the only thing I knew how to do...I sent up a mighty prayer and poured my heart out to God and he immediately answered my prayers I heard the voice of the spirit as an audible voice for the first time speak to me and say....."I am here for you, I have always been with you and I need you to just keep going and I will take care of you" I literally felt chills of warmth...

Yooo Monday was hectic least restful pday but it was good. We went to a sus Masonic temple which was kinda cool but super wack. For some reason we had to deal with Elder drama within the zone the whole pday and it was just stupid but besides that when we went back at it from 6-9 we had a huge miracle. We stopped by an older lady's house named Joyce that we found 2 months ago and knocked, and this was not part of our original schedule. She opened the door and invited us in so we did just that.... Turns out she has a daughter who is a member but she knows nothing about our church or the Book of Mormon. We get to talking and the spirit directs to talk about Prophets for some reason so we did just that and it resonated really well with her....later on she explained how she doesn't know why she opened the door and let us in. 1 because she doesn't know us, and 2 she has heavy anxiety and never leaves the house. She says she felt like she needed to let us in. I told her.."Yo...

Monday Funday was pretty chill we played hardcore basketball we won some and lost some. The highlight was I went to the exchange a super sweet store on Fort Belvior and got some new drip it was pretty sweet. Tuesday was a heck of a day we usually have district council in the mornings but it got canceled cause we have zone later on in the week. I woke up that morning and was like I'm giving my all to the lord and I did just that We made a goal of 2 friends and we easily made 5 the lord just blessed us I had a great personal study my topic was Joy in mortality and I listened to some talks read some scriptures but the interesting thing is by lunch my companion and I watched a video on mental health and the atonement....you guys the atonement is so incredible we listened to at least 8 differnt peoples testimonys and story's of the atonement and how they have been healed from mental health issues relating disorders, trauma from SA, or self harm and how they came to know Jesus Ch...

Pday what a time to be alive. We played pickleball and ultimate Frisbee and ate at Glory Days (it's glorious buss food) Shoutout to Arkansas for having another tornado that's kinda crazy but our house is straight J chilling like always. My companion had a couple miracles Monday night we taught and Ethiopian single mother over the phone and she really wanted to come to church with us and it was awesome. We also reconnected with Dominique and her twin brother joined us. He's so crazy he is straight from the hood and told us some wild story's and how he found Jesus at the club and changed his life and got him off the streets. It was real interesting cause he was claiming righousness and stuff but at the same time telling us aboit all the shootouts he was in and the people he has hurt bro was chill. We also got open door opportunities to teach Dominiques husband as she has been bearing powerful testimony to him on her baptism and the church it's been great to see even ...

Monday we just played basketball and went shopping on the military base and I got a beanie with an Elders military Id. They had some cool stuff there. Wow Tuesday was a doozy we had Zone accountability at the U.S Marines Corps memorial which was pretty sweet and we talked a lot about Baptism and our zone is set-up for some miracles this transfer our district is really fun we got the Chinese Elders from China and Elder Mitchel (he is friends with Kade Hatch) and we got another Elder Williams he is super chill. Now speaking of the doozy, it started off with some crazy traffic the main road that literally everyone takes in Northern Virginia called route 1 was blocked off right by our apartment and where we had 3 lessons set up and we got stuck in heavy traffic. When we finally got to our lesson's they ended up falling through, but we witnessed an ambulance show up and carry a passed out mom on a stretcher and the kids just lost it. They start crying and running after the ambulan...
