BIG NEWS BIG NEWS!!



"I think me and my friends, are ready to go pro:)"
Haha Dadstachio, thank you for the email. I loved it. I haven't found that info yet you sent but I'm searching. I forgot what book it was in but I just looked it up so I'm good. I'll find it. Sorry about all the pictures, I just like takin em. I'll delete the stuff, but I can't delete the videos and I need them off of there so we need to find someone savvy enough to do it.
Week was fine. No baptism, but I'm not crying. Thomas and his fiance got into a huge fight and we (the missionaries) were almost taken to court for helping Thomas get rid of all of his tobacco and coffee. We weren't thinking, it was stupid of us to help him carry it out and stuff but it's all blown over. Thomas was so embarrassed about everyone prepping for his wedding and baptism and then falling through, so he didn't want to come to church. We thought he had completely given up. Then Saturday he called and explained that he couldn't deny the truthfulness of the restored church and the Book of Mormon and said "I'll see you tomorrow at church" everyone at church respected him so much more for coming and he said now he understands the Atonement and he feels like he can start progressing toward a worthy baptism. He is a stud and I think the LORD humbled him for a reason. I know the LORD humbled him for a reason. Ether 12:27 :)
Momstachio, I love you and I'm sorry I don't have enough time to write much. We just got flagged down while emailing and taught the watered down version of the RESTO. The guy was stoked. He asked how he could find the will of God in his life and live it, so we told him. Sorry that took up most of my time. Bro. Smith is here now and I have to go. We have a dinner tonight with 2 investigators and 2 member families. We're gonna eat with them all and then leave and let them all watch a movie and have some bonding time. Thomas and Tony are coming. Great opportunity to hand them over to the branch.
Haha tell Jen hi and I'm sorry I missed that show, it sounds amazing. Happy birthday Grandma Davis, I love you and hope it is a good one.
I am getting transferred to VA beach. I'll be in an area called Salem, but over the whole VA beach young single adult ward. I'm so excited! That will be way fun. And we are in a VAN apparently haha. WOOT WOOT! I am gonna miss Elder Richardson and Elder Case. I have learned so much in the past 12 weeks from and with them. WOW I can't believe it. I don't know my address yet, but I'll let you know. Bro. Smith will maybe call you with that info. The crowning event in our week was when Thomas called and said he wasn't giving up because he knows this is true. No baptism, but guess what? He's planning on moving to VA beach. We'll see how things work out.
I love you all and I am so excited to be a missionary today. Grace is the reason you and I have the power and strength to do what we do every day for The LORD, and it's the power that will save us after it helps us do all we can do. I want you to know how important it is that we learn all that we can for ourselves in this life, there's no other time to learn it.
"If you accumulated all the money on the entire Earth, it would not buy so much as a loaf of bread in the economy of Heaven"-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Well, I'll tell you this. What you can learn today in one hour of study will get you a whole sirloin steak dinner in the economy of heaven. Knowledge is power, and pure doctrine can be found today if you look hard enough. I love you guys,
Stay safe and keep up the good work.
