Coach wad emailed me haha i loved hearing from him! Also let me know if theres anything i can do for you all! Love you! OH and p.s. I forgot to tell you about a funny story haha so Margarita had us over for dinner and the A.P. was on an exchange with us. The food was awesome but the drink there is a story behind haha so this was before we taught her the word of wisdom. What happened was It was one of the Arizona drinks. Lots of them have tea in them. So the A.p. and I looked over at the Arizona can and sure enough the one she gave us had tea in it. So the A.p. and i didn't say anything to margarita. We just figure we wouldn't drink it. Then 5 min later we look over and Elder Millett is just chugging it down hahahha chug chug chug..... Eventually the a.p. and i just start crackin up a bit. We didn't know what to do. We couldn't offend Margarita. She offered us coffee before and we had to deny her and it made her feel bad. So we watched Elder millett drink a big glass of green tea hahahahahha it was funny. We told him after and he had no idea. He was a little upset but then again we all laughed it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXCLAMATION POINT hahahahha peace
What is up Family!!!!!!!!
What an amazing amazing week huh! I love General Conference! Especially as a missionary haha I tell ya what it's like CHRISTMAS in the mission. A time to sit back and relax and enjoy the show haha Honestly thats how i felt this past weekend! At the same time though God blessed us tremendously! Elder Millett and I started off the week solid. We worked as hard as we could with all the people that came to church last week. If you remember right last week we had 8 that came to church. Well one of them i think i told you about. His name was Kenneth. Kenneth is a thug haha g unit to the max!! He is a stud though. I love him. We actually met him about 3 weeks ago as we were harvesting and knocking doors. Kenneth i knocked in to on an exchange. From day one he was always talking about his past. What he had done, Where he had been, ETC.. It was crazy. We always enjoyed it though. Lots of the stuff he went through, he regretted. He didn't like the person that he used to be. His actions and choices eventually led him to jail. We love kenneth and everyday we went over to see him our hearts were filled by the spirit. His desire to repent and be forgive was off the charts. We taught him a lot about repentance and the power of the atonement. It was hard teaching him at the same time because he cant read to well and so it takes him some time to understand things. And as we learn from PMG doctrine (or what were teaching) understood changes behavior. So us as missionaries our goal was to help him understand truly the importance of repentance and the atonement. WELL sure enough as he understood he changed. He became a better man and GUESS WHAT he was baptized on sunday!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH haha he's a stud. We love him. God Loves him. God loves me and i thank him for the blessing i had to be his guide in his conversion.
Now moving on to Margarita!!!! She was amazing. Margarita is also another lady that i knocked into with another missionary. She was so prepared and accepted baptism there at her door after we said a prayer with her. BUT the miracle is that I said this prayer with her like 2 months ago. For a month or so I was always going to follow up with her and trying to stop by to see her and teach her. It was nearly impossible to get in contact with her. We didn't know what was up. Well eventually we got in contact with her. We taught her for a week or so then guess what.... she disappeared again. haha We didn't know what to do. We were so close to dropping her because one, we couldn't get in contact and two, she hadn't kept her commitment of church for like 2 weeks. So we were planning on dropping her but we decided to put forth our faith and stop by her house one more time! As we did she was home!!! She let us right in and began telling us all about Joseph Smith. She told us the story of moroni appearing to josephs room and telling him about the book of mormon. She went on and on about joseph smith. We were so so confused. It had been a long time since we'd seen her and here she was telling the story of joseph smith finding the book of mormon better then i could tell it!!!! haha it was incredible!! Come to find out, the last time we were there teaching her we left the commitment to read the testiomony of the prophet joseph smith with her. She kept her commitment and read it. Then we find out she was a doctor in nicaragua where she is from. She is a doctor. Super smart and intelligent. She is awesome!! She as well after that lesson changed completely. She came to church twice and then conference this past weekend. She ALSO was baptized on sunday!! Funny story though. Her name comes from russia for some reason and so it's like 5 words long. WELL turns out i couldn't remember her names at all so she had to say her name then i repeated it as i baptized her hahaha ALL IN SPANISH as well. oh boy it was funny haha certainly something that brought some laughter as well as spirit:)
Kenneth and Margarita both were baptized and boy it was awesome. An amazing baptism service inbetween conference sessions haha. I will never forget that! God is good and i love him and all he has done for me! I've learned so much since being here in the mission. MOM i just knew you were going to love the EXLAMATION POINT talk haha i thought of you during that one! All the talks were super good and I learned a lot. I hope all of you did as well! Love you keep up the good work with everything. Miles looks like he is doing great as well. I love him already and just can't wait to hold him. It'll come fast though. Too fast is the problem. I can't believe it's already the 7th of october. HUNTING SEASON thats what i'm talking about! DAD start sending the pictures haha hopefully you can get a nice beautiful pic of you with some big curves huh!! haha love you all peace!!!
