Campus Life

It has been a GREAT week!! We are being blessed beyond measure!!

Last Pday was more chill than usual, we pretty much just slept! It was SOOOO NICE!! When Pday ended we went over to a lesson with a guy named Jonas who basically only speaks Creole! The member that does speak Creole comes and basically just teaches him all the lessons so he is probs finna be Baptized soon enough!

Gerald came to the YSA FHE and he had a blast meeting some new people from the branch! Both the Carrollton Ward and the UWG YSA Branch are super Missionary Minded, I've been blessed basically my whole mission!!

Tuesday was straight DEATH!!! It was Presidents Interview Day for the Zone so we were there from 8am-6pm doing trainings and listening to the same trainings over and over and over and over!!! For all of you out there that really know me, know that I am super A.D.D. and so that is why is was so hard the whole time!! But, on the bright side we went to a members house for dinner and Gerald came along too!! We read 2 Nephi 31 with him and invited him to be baptized!! His date is Sept. 22, YEEEET!! So exciting!! 

Also, just a side note, the members (the Aylworths) are huge Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Nerds, so you can get a feel for how much fun I was having that night!! Bro. Aylworth has a ton of Swords, but he also had a bunch of Replicas from the LotR Movies like Glamdring, Flame of the West, Orcrist, Sting, and Legolas' fighting blades!! I was straight in HEAVEN, you will be able to see that on my face in the pictures that I will send out!! 

Wednesday we were supposed to have 4 lessons but only 1 went through. The one that we did have was with a guy named Jeremy who in the past would like to just research how to bash and anti us. This time around we basically just told him our purpose as missionaries and asked that he would actually put some effort into read and praying about the Book of Mormon. I am trying to put this a lot nicer than it actually was, we really had to shut him down. But in the end he said that he would go back and actually study and pray about the things that we had taught him, that is what we call HIGH LOVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS!!

We had Institute later on in the night and Gerald came again, he is the man!! Again, he met a lot of friends and had a great time!!

Thursday was just incredible!! We had some of the best lessons ever that day!! Our first lesson was with a ysa name Maya who had met the missionaries last semester on campus!! She said that at the time she was looking for a church to go to but she currently has one now! But she was completely open to what we had to say and we had a fantastic Restoration Lesson! YEEET!!

A bit after her we had another incredible lesson with a ysa named Shay!! I don't think I have ever seen someone more ready and willing to learn than her!! She had real intent and you could see that everything we were saying she was really taking to heart!! She will be coming to Bible Study on Wednesday!! Double YEEET!!

Saturday we had a cool lesson with Zadarian in the morning about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. He was down!!

Later on in the night we had another lesson with Gerald where we talked about Priesthood Authority and the Sacrament!! He agreed with everything that we said, and actually bore testimony of it over a Book of Mormon reading call to Zadarian again! The dude is straight Fire!!

Fast Sunday was great as always!! 6 hours of Church is a little heavy but it is still a good time and I enjoy the spirit that I feel there!! Also being a missionary in a YSA is so fun!! I probs already said this last week but being around people my own age is the weirdest thing ever, its been a year since the last time!! We have fun in the YSA and on Campus!!

All in all, the Lord has blessed us with many miracles and blessings and will continue to bless us as we move forward in his work!! Although at this very time there is a lot of opposition from people, we can see our Tender Mercies and they are real!! 

God Bless! God SPEED!!
