"What Family Means to Me"

jack sultans bro, I needed a pic with the legend

It's been a great week with many tender mercies, praise the Lord!!

Last Pday I was talking to the Sisters in our District about our District Shirts!! They are finna look full decent when we get them next week!! We all voted on the design, and then the Sisters drew it up on the computer, if I want to I will attach photo's of them at the end!!

We played Ultimatum Frisbay for Pday and I was completely drenched with sweat by the end!! In the pics that I will send you can see that my Lone Peak Maroon Jersey just turned Purple!! HAHA

last pday, my shirt is supposed to be maroon not purple :D

That night we had a great lesson with Dee!! It was much more spiritual this time as we read the introduction of the Book of Mormon and prayed about it at the end!! And again we will be visiting him tonight!!

On Tuesday morning, we got a referral service appointment from one of the ward members about a neighbor that needed help cleaning out a shed!! We did so and she seemed pretty interested in having us back for a message so that was cool as can be!! Her name is Pat!!

Tuesday night I was preparing my training for interviews with Pres. the next morning!! I had been given the topic the previous week but it was so broad that I couldn't come up with anything until the night before!! It seems like that's always how it works for me getting revelation from God!! I guess that means I don't rely on Him as much as I should until the last minute!! Call me to repentance everyone!!

Wednesday we had a great District Meeting and interviews and my training went a lot better than expected!! Meeting Pres. and Sister Clayton was a blast as well!! I made sure to mention as much as I could that I loved playing Golf so he would take us out to go sometime in the future!! HAHA I know I'm evil!!

After that we went and visited Steve from the card shop!! His son and wife were there so we finally got to meet the whole family!! So now we know Steve, Bernadette, and Dominic Chafardon!! Please keep them in your prayers, they are a wonderful family!!

That night we were able to have the car for the first time in 2 transfers so we decided to go to the outer reaches of the area over by Jason!! He hit him up for an appointment the next day and just caught up with him!!

The next morning we had an appointment at 11AM and we basically talked about the importance of going to Church and how it would help him as he sacrificed his time for the Lord!! Spoiler Alert: HE CAME!!! For the first time in 5 Months since Elder Frandsen and I found him!! That was dang exciting and he met a lot of Ward members, pretty cool stuff there!!

In the evening on Friday we went to dinner with a member named Sis Stubbs at the Broadway Diner. We showed up early and ended up talking to a guy named David who worked at the Goodwill right next door!! We got into a conversation about the Book of Mormon and Bible pretty fast and soon enough Sis Stubbs walked up and bore a powerful testimony!! We are meeting with him again on Wednesday!! YEET!! Prayers are much needed, thank you!!!! :)

Sunday is always great!! Love it love it love it!!! And Jason came up until 2nd hour so that was sweet!!

When we got back to the Apt after church, our other Steve, Rich Inheritance Steve gave us a call and said he would like to meet up and show us his Corvette!! So we agreed and met him at Truetts Luau!! The car was sweet, and not to sound prideful or anything but he loves hanging around us!! Not necessarily because of us, but because of the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that we have in the Church!!

For a little thought...

Quite a bit I was pondering about family this week, for whatever reason I'm not really sure!! Mostly just about how I want to raise my kids, where, and what kind of things I want to teach them about my mission here in Georgia!! I have been blessed to be here in Fayetteville where family values are practiced more often than most places, and I have been able to learn a lot from others!! 

cool pic on main

There's a youth themed song that is called, "What family means to me" and I always get pumped up when I hear it!! Not just because I think about my fam back home but because I have started to feel as thought these people I get to associate with here in Georgia are also my family; whether they are members of the Church or not!! God Bless Georgia and all the wonderful people here!! I know that was kinda cheesy but I just thought I would share :)

Love yall
