Hey Church Man!








Wow! Where to even begin!?

So this week was probably the best week of my mission. Let's start with Tuesday. 

So Tuesday was transfer day, and I was headed out to Marshall Texas about 2.5 hours away or so. Me and Elder Dertina were getting doubled in to the area so we were like, "shoot how do we get out there." Well fear not! The most solid bishop ever, drove into Dallas and got us to take us out. He was bringing the other elders in who were both going home so we went back out with him, and we miraculously found a ride! So we came out here and had some awesome conversation on the way out. Once we got here we got dropped off and began unpacking. The apartment was decently clean but we deep cleaned it and made it nice. Unpacked everything and then ate some food. We had pretty much nothing but made it work for that day. 

The next day we set out to find some grocery stores. We went to this place called Aldi that is a German shop. Everything there is literally the cheapest thing ever, and it's awesome. You can get a gallon of milk for 80 cents. It's so awesome. So we got some groceries and then stopped by Walmart for the rest. Elder Dertina is probably the funniest person I've ever met so we had some good driving talks. It was awesome. Our car is a brand new 2017 Chevy Malibu and is like the nicest car I've ever driven and been in. So that's us so far and after we got groceries we headed off to dinner cause very thing is like 40 minutes apart here in Marshall. We got to dinner and were kinda worried cause it was in a very scary trailer park but we get in there and meet the family. She's a recent convert living with her brother and they were super awesome. And to our surprise, and enjoyment, turns out she was a culinary school graduate! We had like a 5 course meal that was probably the best food I've ever had. She made these broccoli to cheese ball things and I probably coulda eaten 100 of em. The stuff was amazing! 

I forgot to mention! That first day we had dinner we went to a diner that is owned by a member and missionaries eat free. So we had some burgers and pie and DANG those old ladies know how to cook! It was so awesome. The people there were excited to meet new missionaries and we felt welcomed for sure. 

I can't remember what morning I did all this but I wanna mention it cause it was hilarious! Elder Dertina has a ventriloquist doll that's terrifying and I set it up right by his couch (he loves sleeping on the couch) and when he woke up he flipped out hahaha. We also for whatever reason have a coffee pot in our apartment and so we made hot chocolate in it one morning and it was delicious. Dertina also makes some mean jambalaya. 

But ya after dinner we had to go get some other stuff cause our apartment didn't have a shower curtain, trash can, or plunger and the sinks were clogged and drain super slow so we also got some Drano. We took care of that stuff and then met with our bishop and brother Keith who loves the missionaries. They showed us this house they're building the missionaries in their backyard and they're about done and in the next month or two could be moving in there. So that'll be awesome. When they found out I have a background of that they were stoked and wanted us to help. So we will do some of that this week. But that was awesome. 

Thursday went fantastic. It was weekly planning and we literally had no clue who anyone was so we called and made some plans. One of em was with a recent convert that meets us at the basketball courts and wanted to meet up that day so he told us 2:30, but he didn't end up showing up till 4 but that was fine because there was this guy Tommy there who just moved in to town and was Ballin, we asked if we could play and he's all, "course ya can!" (Everyone here speaks Cajun jargon and it's probably the most difficult thing to understand.) we played 7 on the line with him after some friendly trash talk, then we won and he's all, "okay okay let's play this." So we played some more games and he won some we won some and it was awesome. The whole time talking about the book of Mormon and all that jazz. He took our number and was all, "man you gotta come ball with me and my friends here!" So that was a new investigator we found, we then had our Recent Convert lesson that was kinda weird, the dudes odd but it was good. These little black kids were playing too and were all, "hey church man! You play ball church man?" It was so awesome!

Friday we went and visited another recent convert and his name was boris. He was the coolest man ever and it was a great visit. He referred one of his friends who he's referred before and so we called him and set up a lesson with him for the next day. We then were looking in our area book and saw this investigator that works at a Christian merchandise store from 10:00 to 3:00. We realized it was after three and she wouldn't be there but we felt prompted to go anyway. We showed up and ask the cashier if the lady was there and she said she wasn't. But we decided to look around the store. It had some bomb ties, but after a while the cashier started asking us about ourselves. We talked about missions and what we do, who we were, how it all works. And she basically just began asking all the right questions. We went from missionaries to talking about what we teach and we went and grabbed one of the bibles she was selling in the store and began reading verses with her that pertain to the restoration and such. She was eating it up and was all, "man this is way different than people say!" We then talked about questions she had and shared what the book of Mormon is and she loved that. She then had questions about temples and we told her about eternal families and temples and she was like, "okay so I didn't tell Yall but the woman you are looking for is my mom, and I'd sure like to sit in when you reach her, this stuff is intriguing." So boom, crazy miracle. It then started poring rain and we didn't have a dinner so we went to granny's pats diner again and they were happy to see us. Had the best chicken fried stake in the world. It was awesome. Then waited the rain because it was really unsafe to drive in it, and we got impatient and as soon as we set foot outside, the rain died down to a sprinkle, so I am gonna assume that was the spirit. Hahaha! It was awesome. 

Saturday was beast! That referral that boris gave us we met with. He in the area book had been given up on cause he couldn't see how there was one true church and didn't understand authority and the last elders kinda gave up. Well we went just wanting to meet him and he talked about random stuff for like an hour and half but we listened as best we could and we picked up on that he was talking about how his life had changed battling sickness. So we read with him about the elders giving blessings with oil in the Bible and said, "would you like us to do that?" He connected that we were elders and he said absolutely he would. So we gave him that and then he went on another hour spiel about family members and once again, we listened and what he was getting across was he has lost close family members and it's really shaken him. So we talked to him about the plan of Salvation and he LOVED it. We used this puzzle thing Elder Dertina had and he wants one so we ordered him one. Well after that we began discussing true church and the priesthood cause he asked about it and I don't know what we did but we explained it the best way we knew how, and he said, "huh.....I get it." Well I found myself all the sudden inviting him to be baptized on August 5th and be baptized by the same authority Jesus was baptized with through John the Baptist and he said," I'd like to be baptized like Jesus was. I want it how he did and Ya'll have it. I'm gonna have to pray about this, but I will be baptized on August 5th." We stood dumbfounded! He accepted! An investigator they gave up on accepted! He then said, "I wanna know this is true, I wanna feel it! How do I do that?" We explained the commitment we leave him with will help him and promised him that he would feel it if he would read and pray but also promised him the lord would never answer him if he didn't ask through his actions of faith and prayer. So he said, "I can't come this Sunday, but I'll be there every Sunday after that. And I'll read and pray, heck I'll pray right now." And he's one that when he makes a commitment, he means it, he won't make it if he doesn't intend to keep it. It was awesome! We called our bishop and he was AMAZED that we were able to do that! The ward had kinda thought he was a lost cause! So that us definitely a testimony I have, the spirit teaches, not us. It will teach if you will listen. You MUST listen. You cannot know how to help them if you don't listen to them and I bear witness the spirit is real and worked through Elder Dertina and I. Glory be to God for such a miracle!

Sunday was amazing. It felt like coming to a family reunion, especially because the building is the exact same as the one back home so it was just, oh it was AWESOME. We felt like celebrities there and I can only thank the lord for his mercy on me and allowing such a change in me. I cannot believe the power the lord has to snatch us out of the chains of hell if we will just let him, the atonement works and it is nothing of my own doing but the lord has blessed me immensely this week. I cannot believe the miracles I am seeing and it's all because of repentance. All because of the atonement. We had an amazing Sunday and they had a linger longer, and I had fried catfish, craw fish, and everything under the sun. 

So to sum up, I have been blessed with the area, I got one of my top 3 companions and we get along almost too well, we think the same, we both want to work, the area loves missionaries, we found 2 new investigators, and set a baptismal date, and it hasn't even been a week. 

The Lord truly does his work and how I pray that we may be able to participate in it cause it's nothing but joy. 

I love yall!

Rain and Transfers







HOWDY!

This week has been good, but honestly not a ton to talk about.

The fourth of July we didn't see any fireworks cause in our city
specifically has made any form of them illegal and that's lame. But it
was a good week. Meeting our new mission president was cool. He's
awesome and I'm excited to get to know him and see how he works.

Dallas Daze

So this week was the week of many sunny days yet still pouring rain
all the dang time. We'd be riding in a great sunny day and it'd be
pouring rain as it was sunny. So darn weird. My companion has gotten a
stripe of mud up is back cause of the tire and it is hilarious, my
backpack covers my back well and I avoid muddy puddles.

This week we got to volunteer at an animal shelter and it was awesome.
Lots and lots of door knocking so the dogs and cats were a great
refresher.

I'm getting transferred today so that's fun! Only 1 transfer in this
area so that's sad but it'll be fine.

Love Yall!

God is Real

Hey y'all!

This week was good, had some funny experiences!

For some Dallas Daze this week we were riding back from a dinner and a homeless guy flagged us down by saying, "hey! I know you can read my thoughts!" We rode over and confusedly asked, "huh?" He said, "I know you can read my thoughts, so why don't you help me, Jesus would've helped me. I know you can read them." We said though the spirit can inspire us things to say, we don't read your thoughts as they come. He then expounded in a completely different direction and told us about ants that crawl into his pores and how he was at the bus stop and his friend appeared and told him that the ants were crawling in. So he got up and saw a brown recluse that he swallowed and has now killed the ants but it's built a home and wants to raise a family so he is waiting for the green spider with a red belly to climb in to his mouth and fight the brown recluse so it will leave. Then he said how the scripture that reads, "for god so loved the world...." isn't true because he burned it and couldn't read it anymore after that. But he burned the rest of the Bible and could still read it. So that verse isn't true because it burned and he couldn't read it. We gave him a
card and promptly left because we had absolutely no idea what to say hahaha. So that was funny.

This week has been a difficult one. But I had some amazing experiences. I've been pondering on the world we live in. And I came to terms that I didn't feel like I had a true testimony of my own and craved so desperately one that I could tell people I knew God lived, and that he is real. And I read a talk that seemed to fit so perfectly with what I was feeling. From the talk "Your own personal testimony" by Elder Angel Abrea, he talks as if he is conversing with his grandkids and says, "Well now, my dear Russell, you will ask yourself,
'In that case, do I have to go and look for the answer myself? Can anybody have this kind of testimony? Is it a gift only for a few? Do those who say they know really only think they know, or have they convinced themselves through a psychological trick?'" He then says,
"In answer to your questions, and to give more light to these things, let me tell you that Elder John A. Widtsoe said that those who truly have a testimony of the gospel have 'the highest type of knowledge. It comes as a revelation when truth is known and obeyed. … It is really man’s chief possession.'" When truth is known and obeyed is a key phrase to me. I had the thought reading that of how when truth is obeyed you come to know it to be true. But one cannot be unclean and unrepentant and do this. It is a greater sin to know the truth and not obey it than to be in ignorance and not obey it. God is merciful and
at least in my case had not given such a testimony because it would have been worse for me to know and be unrepentant. So now that I am in a position to gain one, by following that process and being patient, believing I will receive, I trust that that day would come. So I continued. We had our last meeting in which President Taylor would be there so it was somewhat of a send off meeting. During that meeting it was discussed the truth of this church, the reality of the first vision, that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and during the closing hymn, Redeemer of Israel, I was overcome to the point I could not sing through the tears. I was overwhelmed with such a force that I was crying, I couldn't get the words out, I knew the Redeemer of Israel is my Savior. It was such a sacred experience. I don't know many things, but this I do know, that God is there, and this is his church, and he loves you. I stand with Lehi and say, "and now....I say these things for your profit and learning, for there is a God, and he hath created all things. Both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. Both things to act and be acted upon." He is real. What joy
this brings me. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pictures!

Hey y'all!

This week was long

Dallas Daze

We went out and helped with tornado clean up in east Texas and the
wreckage was pretty bad still. But it was fun. We carried a lot of
trees and such that everyone was cutting up with chainsaws and such.
It was fun except for there was some way tall grass and it hid an ant
pile that was HUGE. Well I was the lucky one that found it and I had
tons of ants biting the heck out of me. So that hurt but I got em all
off. We were able to clear to fence lines to get em ready for repair
and found a canoe in a tree, so that was pretty cool.

The mission is good, we finally found an investigator this week, not
sure how solid they are but finally got someone to go to! It is nice
to have at least 1 now. This week was just very hot and very sweaty.
Elder Frausto was not prepared for that but is now getting to know
just how fun summers are here.

Not a ton to write about this week. So let the pictures speak.

Love y'all!

Open Your Blinds to the Light






Hey y'all!

This week was SWEATY like holy cow! The heat has been something else.

Dallas Daze

Aside from being drenched in my own sweat, Saturday we helped with a
move that went pretty awesome. We got a case of water out of it as
well as a thing of Gatorade and these drinks elder Frausto loves
that's like Perrigrino water or something like that. Well he talked it
up like no other and so I tried it, it wasn't bad but it was odd and I
was drinking it as we ate dinner one day. Well flippin, I check the
"best by" date......the stuff was three years old. He took a swig and
was all, "yeah that's definitely not how it tastes." So here I am
downing half a bottle of it! It wasn't all that bad though, I mean it
was "best" by that date not inedible by that date. We also had an
awesome dinner this week. We got to go to a sub shop called jersey
mikes that makes some reaaaaallllyyyy good subs. The gigantic size
which looks like a footlong (Elder frausto had been many a time and
prepared me to know it was much larger) is like a foot and a half. We
were STARVING so we ordered one of those each and man it was the best
sandwich id ever had. Elder Frausto has been getting after about me
for eating to fast especially there. He wasn't even done with the
first 1/4 of his sandwich by the time I'd eaten a little over half of
it. He ended up saving some for the next day and I ate the whole thing
of it. I don't know where it all went but man it was awesome. Expensive
but awesome, I mean the sign says that size "feeds 2-3 people" so I
definitely ate a lot.

This week we had an awesome experience with a lady we ran into. We
knocked on her door and she was so happy to see us. She invited us in
and we talked to her about Eagle Scouts, college, her kids, all these
great things. We saw all this stuff hanging up in her house which
sparked all the different topics. She let us sit down  and we just
shared beliefs. She is some form of Catholic but it was the most
uplifting and pleasant meeting I've ever had with someone. She wasn't
particularly like searching for more but she respected us a ton and we
talked a lot about family and the importance of it which she is a huge
advocate of. We share the Proclamation to the World with her and she
LOVED it. We were also able to read 2 Nephi 2 about opposition in all
things and she loved that as well. It was a fabulous exchange of
beliefs and we learned a lot. She then asked about our missions and we
talked about our daily life and logistics and she was amazed we live
on our own and cook and such. She was all, "we've gotta have you two
over for dinner. You need a home cooked meal, and my boys need to meet
and be around real men like you." It was truly the greatest compliment
I think I've ever received in my life. Christ has definitely changed
me and glory be to him for who I am today. But it was awesome and we
plan to go back.

The family though is what I want to point out this week. It's been a
major topic among people we discuss with and especially at church this
Sunday. Satan has his crosshairs on the family more than ever before
these days and many are being picked off left and right without the
protection that comes from Christ's gospel and temple covenants. Too
many families are being torn apart from an array of reasons that are
no secret to any of us. I reflected on how lucky I have been to have
been raised in a family where the gospel was lived and revered. Had I
not been blessed so, I can genuinely say out of my own knowledge that
I would not be where I'm at and may not even be here at all. Christ is
the glue that holds us together, that invites love at home, that
teaches morals and virtues to children, that raises boys to be men and
girls to be sacred, stand up women. I want to stress with all my
faculties that we take things seriously, put on the armor of god and
be as captain Moroni and erect whatever we must to protect our homes,
families and children. No longer can we build walls and pretend it's
not there, insisting to our children the outside world is not what
their tv or phone says. But face it head on and present the two
options before them. That as all things die, through Christ shall all
things be made alive. That when we choose the world, we choose misery
and confusion, misunderstanding, hate, and moral degradation. We
cannot build walls to be climbed anymore but prepare ourselves
mentally and spiritually to fight these battles before us, for we are
indeed all enlisted and will fall if we do not go forth in the
strength of the Lord. I believe strongly we must teach in the Savior's
way more than before. To present two options and allow others to make
the choice and live the consequences. There is no learning any other
way. For example, "lest ye be born of water and of the spirit, ye
cannot enter into the kingdom of God." He present both sides, be
baptized and be saved and enter into eternal life, or don't and be
damned in the end of days. It's your choice, and those who choose
otherwise will maybe quickly or slowly, but they will one day see the
light shine through what choice was true. David A Bednar said do we
have the faith not to be healed, but as the savior and our Heavenly
Father teach, it offers opportunity for pain and suffering, and I
present the question do we have the faith to watch our loved ones
suffer the consequences of choices? Because I know what it's like to
suffer due to sin, but I now know today the joy that comes from what I
rejected before. And how grateful I am to know now that the gospel
taught by Christ truly is the way and there is none other way, and I
accredit it to family scripture study, family night, and teaching in
the saviors way of presenting choices and establishing the
consequences, we can make choices but we cannot choose our
consequences. In science this is known as the independent and
dependent variables. So I admonish all to please harbor the savior in
your homes, erect these spiritual barriers that will take the blows of
the world and come out stronger in ourselves and our families, and
find joy in an ever darkening world. For with so much to mourn and
fear, comes things to rejoice in and put fear aside. So stop fearing,
stop hiding, stop putting up walls, and follow savior through. He made
it through, there will be no absence of trial but you will have joy
and you will make it. We all are worthy of rescue and all are worthy
to follow Christ. Start today wherever you are. Teach using the
Savior's words, nobody else's come with such power. Open the
scriptures with any and all and read Christ's words, and let us
rejoice in the sunlight and stop seeking out storms. The world has
enough of those, if you can't find the sunshine, be it for someone
else. Open yourselves to the light of the gospel and let it shine
through. I like to think we all are windows, and if we can open our
blinds to the light, others will see. If you need to clean your window
to let the light through do it, if you are only halfway cracked open,
take the step, be that light, join the winning team and tomorrow the
Lord will do wonders among you. I know this gospel to be true and the
family to be absolutely essential to God's plan, so implement God's
plan into yours and watch miracles unfold. This is all possible
through the Savior Jesus Christ, of Him I so testify in His name,
amen.

The Blessing of a Stolen Bike









Hey y'all!

This week was fantastic! Lemme start of with Dallas Daze though,

Let me start from the beginning. I wake up Saturday morning, I was on exchanges with Elder Bailey in my area and oh how lovely was the morning! Those words rang true. We arose at 6am and headed to the gym, with a skip in our step we got to the fitness center of the complex and began working on ourselves becoming stronger. What a lovely time we had running and lifting and seeing the sun rise on the peaceful sleep we had the night before. Truly a great morning. Well slept and well worked out we began walking back to our apartment. As we walked I noticed under the stairs where we keep our bikes, it is out of view coming out of the apartment but coming back it was what you first see, was amiss. Upon looking closer as close as Nephi examined Laban's sword, I realized the bikes were in quite a disarray. I walked over wondering the cause and looked and beheld only two bikes as opposed to the usual three, oh what joy fled from my countenance as I realized the missing red beauty I've ridden for a year was now stolen and off somewhere in the world never to be seen by mine eyes again. How lovely was the morning depleted and now my bike was gone. It was only a second and I realized what a blessing it was! The day previous I had encountered my brakes breaking, my spokes breaking, and a few other minor repairs that would need attention but to my joy I no longer had to worry about them! For problems 1-3 with the bike left with that very bike and now was someone else's problem! Oh it was sad at first but I got over it real quick. In truth and joking aside I was all, "you've gotta be kidding me" but there is no use in being angry cause anger won't bring the bike back magically so may as well pray for the one currently riding it now or selling it that they'll get as good a use out of it as I. If you cannot see emojis then I am sorry but this is how I'd describe my emotions as I went that morning. Long story short I have a new bike now and it's honestly even better and my spiritual thought will have to do with a great experience with that as well as some other cool lessons I learned this week. Funny how my bike was the only one worth stealing, apparently the other two were too crap to steal so good for my companion.

 So obtaining a new bike was awesome. I had a budget to stay under which considering a bike and a good one, normally is difficult with how much I had. But we said a prayer that if the lord willed it for me to buy a bike that day then the one would be there. So we got to the bike shop and we walk in and the first bike we both see is this really super nice one that would honestly be perfect for a mission and Elder Frausto points it out, "what about this bike? This one seems like the one, check this price out too." It was 100$ cheaper than the budget! So I said we would ask the store clerk for help and see what he took and showed us but I'd end up saying that one cause usually the show the most expensive first. Well we go up and the guy to help us knew how we were and had known some Mormons and had friends on missions right now. This is significant because he knew exactly what I needed it for and my budget (I didn't tell him he seemed to just have known that we'd need a cheaper bike) and walks straight over to the bike we pointed out and said, "this would be a really good bike for around town riding I think, pretty good price too." We were sold, had to have been of God that all of us separately said yep there's the bike hahaha.

So that was awesome to see an answer of prayer so quick and specific. You really do see God's hand when you pray for help and inspiration. We also this week had our last interview with President Taylor before he goes, and he and I talked about a lot of things and one of the things he did was give us all a blessing and it was so awesome! One of the best things though I came to realize is how awesome it is to really study the scriptures. I feel lately so mad when the hour is up and I have to stop studying because the scriptures truly are delicious, the talks are delicious. Everything. And I just had the thought about how have I gotten to this point? I think it's been a couple things though. Initially it started as a 17 year old wanting to know if the church was indeed true. So I began doing the things I never did, I started with my morning and nightly prayers and really focused on them being genuine. From there I decided I wanted to wake up each morning and get ready as fast as I could and read before school. I began to do that, and it was difficult. I didn't understand what I was reading, I didn't see what message they could really share that was all that life changing, but a promise is a promise that if we read and pray, we will get answer whether it is true or not. There will be an answer one way or another, not just silence and up to us to guess no. It will be a yes or a no. This is eternal salvation at stake and the spirit will witness of it or not if it's true. The order of this was important to me cause praying established a stronger knowledge that God did exist, it increased my faith that he was there and if I read the Book of Mormon and prayed that he'd answer. Cause if you don't believe in God and read the Book, who's gonna answer you if you don't believe in Him? So the order was important. As I read, it was slow but I began to understand what I was reading. After a long while I finally finished it, but still didn't have an answer, so I read again. Even more came this time and it was like a new book. Eventually on my third time through, I found out the Book of Mormon was true. This gave me a fire to learn more. So we began as a mission to study Jesus Christ, and when you come to truly and deeply know someone? You love them and want to do things for them. So as I studied the Savior I really grew to love Him and one day received a witness of the true reality that he lives, that the savior is somewhere right now, maybe in a temple, maybe in the spirit world doing something I don't know but as real as I stand writing this today, he is somewhere and that fascinates me. This drove me to have a feeling as King Lamoni's dad saying, "I will give away all my sins to know thee, and that I may be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day." I went on a quest and began to pray of EVERY single possible thing the Lord could bring to my remembrance to repent of and clear up. I went to my President pushing fear aside and confessed many a thing, fearing the consequences but wanting desperately to be clean. To my surprise, mercy poured out and I was able to relieve a huge burden, take my next step to forgiveness, realize the thoughts I had of fear were of Satan, and continue being a missionary and retaining my relationships and blessings with people. Oh what joy fills my soul and standing in true amazement at the love Jesus offers me! Confused at the grace so fully he proffers me! I tremble to know that for me he was crucified. For me a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died. Oh it is wonderful brothers and sisters. It is wonderful. I crave to be clean and free and continued praying for anything and everything to come and I will give it away, and I did. I repented more than I ever have and continue to do so. And what joy fills my soul! This day I stand before all reading this and am able to declare for the first time since I can remember, probably 7 years, with confidence and a surety I declare I am clean, or in other words worthy, there is no greater statement a man or woman can say on this earth than those words and I believe that. Repentance is the most merciful and joyful experience I've ever undergone, i was able to retain so much I thought I'd have to lose. But with this repentance came a spirit I've never felt before. Not that I can remember. And as I have studied now a days. The scriptures are like a feast, I cannot get enough! Questions and desires to understand a topic more fully come and studying them is pure joy! The scriptures have truly become delicious to me and continue to do so. I have so far ahead to go, but where the savior has come and placed me on his shoulders from and where I am now is a true miracle, but with such a journey ahead I happily walk side by side my savior, because there is no greater life one can lead on this earth than on that is on the path of discipleship to our beloved savior Jesus Christ. Wherever you're at on this journey, please begin walking with the savior, it doesn't just work for me, God is the God of the whole earth and you live here too, it's meant to work for us all, so don't count yourself out and try it. I did, and I had no idea it was all real. You do it too, this isn't just a me thing, this is meant for every single human to ever live and yet live. I testify of Him in His holy name, even Jesus Christ, amen.
