End of Transfer 4 begin Transfer 5 July 18, 2022

 Hello Everyone! 

I honestly don't know where this week went. It went by so quickly, so if anyone knows where this week went please let me know I'm still looking for it. 

Thus week has been good. Also if you see a thus instead this I'm sorry weird auto correct. Thus this happens every once in awhile and I don't catch it all the time, but sometimes I leave it in because why not. 

It is already the end of the transfer, and I'm staying no big news there. I still feel like Thus transfer just started, but know it is gone. Sorry if I'm am rambling, I ramble. I'll start with yesterday because that was on my mind. 

Sunday was a good day, it always is when you can go to church, that never changes. But this week something did change I was one of the speakers. Most people would probably not want to give a talk, but I love it. I love being given the opportunity to share what I know and my testimony, it is also nice when no one can interrupt me. I talked about love share ,and Invite and since I don't want to type out all my talk you guys can go read Elder Stevenson's talk about it this past conference. Also that sacrament meeting Elder Cameron gave a musical number on the piano, and it was fabulous. It was a good sacrament meeting, I still remember my first talk that I ever gave, and wow there is quite a difference from then till now. 

Later that night we were trying to stop by some members and share messages with them, and we were looking for where we should go next. I thought of a member that we have been trying to meet for weeks and haven't been able to. We go by and knock, no answer, we knock one more time, and we waited for sometime still no answer. I think we were both about to start walking back to the car when the door opened. It wasn't the member we were looking for, but it was another member that we needed to visit. We didn't even know that he lived there in our records he lived somewhere else. We talked with him and shared a message and asked if there was anything we could do for him. And he asked for a blessing and expressed he was going through a hard time. I know that God was aware of him at that time and sent us to comfort him, he knew that too. I am grateful that God sent me and my Companion to help this Brother. I know that God is aware of all of us and He has ways to comfort us, we need to trust in him. 

Thus past week we have taught a lot of kids on their porch, and it is awesome. Kids are the sweetest and it is always amazing when they want to talk about Jesus. It has also help me try and teach more simply so they can understand, and from that I feel that I can slowly become a better teacher. There were a couple of kids that we taught them the Plan of Salvation, and we come back the next day and they remembered all of it and basically taught it to us. Very cool, I will always love teaching kids about Christ and who he is. I hope to see if we can teach them more, but we have to involve the parents and they haven't come to the door to talk to us. So that is hard but we are going to keep trying so we can help out their entire family. 

We have had quite a few lessons this week and for a lot of them we have had members present. Which as missionaries know is such a huge blessing because they can relate to our friends more and provide a powerful testimony and friendship. It is also good to see when members are being missionaries. One of the lessons we had invited the Elders Quorum President and his wife to join us for a lesson in a apartment complex on the very top floor. When we knocked we looked up and around us and we saw a ton of spiders through the hallway. These spiders were not tiny either, they were big, and to make it even worse I have herd from other missionaries that they get even bigger closer to October. I thought about getting a picture but I thought I would spare all of you. For this week. 

The lesson we taught went well. And we were really excited to have people come to church. We invited a lot of people and they seemed like they wanted to come. But sadly this week no one did. Press forward we will twill the fight has been won. And no we are not fighting our friends we are just trying to get them to church, and helping them receive the restored gospel.  

I always feel that I am learning a lot every week, and I am amazed by how much I have learned on my mission. Despite all that I have learned I know that there is so much more for me to learn, and I know that God knows it all. Which is crazy to think about but it is also comforting because I know that my Heavenly Father knows the best path for me to walk and is helping me walk it. I know that He lives, and that he sent His son to help guide me and help me get through this life so that can make it home with God. I am grateful for them, and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen. 

Our zone last P-day, played kickball and threw water balloons at each other. 8 was the driest by the end of it.

Me and my PHD (Perfect Hair Day) 

We tried on fancy suits last P-day at the mall. This suit reminds me of my favorite vest my mom made me years ago. (You can find that picture in last week's flashback episode pictures)

Love you. Have a safe week, and hope to hear from you at some point.
