HYPEBEAST

Image
Hey everyone! We had another great week! Here are the highlights: - Coker is a hypebeast. He showed up to church with $700 sunglasses on and kept them on for all of sacrament meeting. He's such a stud. He and his family are also on baptismal date now! Keep them in your prayers, because they are awesome! - We invited our friend James to be baptized as well, and he is now on date! He's super excited. He's from Kenya, so shout out to McKay for bringing some Kenya magic to the family for this week 😝 the members here have been super good at welcoming him, which has been super helpful! - We got a painting of the plan of salvation from an investigator. He made it while he was drunk and we were trying to teach him. That was a crazy lesson. Never have I ever heard more conspiracy theories about aliens than during those 30 minutes. - Angeline and her family came to church again! They are awesome, and we're hoping to invite them to be baptized soon. We just to bring some French ...

Heyo everyone! I'm actually writing my email in the morning today. This is absolutely insane. I can't even tell you the last time I wrote an email with more than 10 minutes left in pday, probably because it was during my training. We had an awesome week, and I wanted to make sure I had enough time to write down all of our cool experiences! - Jeffrey is once again alive. We had been teaching him about a month ago, and then he broke his phone and became homeless. We thought he had died. Alas, he was able to make contact with US this week and he told us he wants to be baptized! That may be a challenge because his life is psycho, but the good news is that he isn't dead! MILAGROS! - We found this huge African family where neither of the parents speak English, but the kids do. They have to translate for us, and also none of them can read. They're awesome though! We helped them get the Book of Mormon app so they could listen to it in French, and they're stoked about it. T...

CORNELIUS' BAPTISM

Image
Hey everyone! This week was awesome! We saw so many miracles. Definitely one of my most favorite weeks of my mission! - Cornelius got baptized! It was so incredible. I got to baptize him, and it was everything we hoped it would be. Cornelius was so happy! Afterwards he bore his testimony and said "I am the happiest man in this building right now, because I am the newest born". He is an absolute stud! Now he's working towards going to the temple, which is awesome! - Our friend Coker cried when we shared the first vision. It was legendary. - We got approved to go knock on doors! Its crazy! Honestly tracting is not that fun but its cool that we have it back haha. - We found some random guy named Ike who was supposed to get baptized in London but then lost contact with the missionaries. He asked us to get him baptized, and we were like "OF COURSE". - Lincoln sits through Gospel Doctrine class like a champ. It's incredible. He is so excited to get baptized, a...

Hey everyone! We had a great week this week! We saw a lot of miracles for sure. I don't have a ton of time so I'll just hit the highlights! - Ukraine is open! Some missionaries are going on the 27th of May, but I'm not one of them. Hopefully I get going soon! - Cornelius is getting baptized for sure this weekend! We're so excited! - We found a ton of super cool people! There's this one man named James who is super excited to learn more about the gospel, and is wanting to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. He's awesome! - It's getting warm here, and I like it a lot. - A Jehovah's Witness tried to convert me. It didn't work 😎 I love you guys so much! Sorry I don't have more time to write this! I'm just bad at time management. Don't forget that Jesus loves you more than you will ever know! He is always aware of you, and He will never forget about you. If you ever need someone to turn to, He's there for you! I love y...

Hey everyone! I hope you are all having amazing weeks. We had a great week out here in Texas! There was some crazy stuff that happened. I don't have a ton of time, so I will just get into it! - Our friend Lincoln accepted a baptismal date for the end of the transfer. We're super excited for him. He's an absolute stud! - Cornelius is such a beast. His baptism is coming up soon, and we're really excited for him! - Our friend Freeman keeps getting called into work on Sunday, so we're going to have to move his date back a couple of weeks. It's really sad, but he still really wants to be baptized. Keep him in your prayers! - Danniel came to church this week, which is a first. That's so good! He's such a stud, and we love him so much. - We found a new friend named Taofiki this last week, and he came to church. He's so funny. He somehow convinced Cornelius to give him a ride home from church, and then Cornelius told him he should get baptized. It was so co...
