You wanna smoke weed on Sunday? No, then I don't want to go to church on Sunday.

 "The Lord has plenty of mediocre missionaries, He needs impact missionaries" - Pres. Hutchison

First pday was nice, we went bowling with a group of 8 missionaries.

Had first zone conference (a large meeting of missionaries to discuss how we can improve). It was 🔥. Elder Fox [Parent Note: I assume this was his cousin, Michael Fox... but I'm not sure] gave a lit talk on becoming an impact missionary. Striving to become an impact missionary.

On Sunday, a guy named George showed up out of nowhere so I got to chat with him a little and explain church services. Then someone we are teaching showed up with his son. I really hope they get baptized.

The title of the email came from a guy I asked to come to church yesterday.

I decided to memorize Joseph Smith's First Vision this week. It was awesome feeling the Spirit whenever I practiced memorizing it.

I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith did see Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ. I know They gave Joseph the command to restore the true Church of Jesus Christ on the earth.

Please pray for Davon and his son DJ.

If y'all have any questions, feel free to email logan.stockett@missionary.org

Talk with everyone

  All, I'm learning the importance of talking with everyone despite preconceptions. A guy in a corvette isn't interested, this gamer guy doesn't want to hear what I have to say, this older guy is too stuck in his ways. All these people said they were interested, so remove your prejudice. Those people who might look the least accepting might be the ones who need it the most. Reach out, love, share, invite! Highlights of the week: Woke up early to go watch sunrise on the beach, it was fire. I love taking pictures. Got a haircut and there was a massage chair there; you better know I took that opportunity. One of my missionary roommates was driving the car with bikes on the back. He hit a dip a little too hard... I'll just let you look at the picture to see what it did to my bike.  Luckily the next day, we gotta use some senior missionary ebikes. Man, I felt like Mary Poppins on one of them. In church, we talked about the First Vision. It was awesome, the Spirit is always i...

We don't want your mix tape tyrone

  All, "Y'all smoke weed at your church?" I'm learning that missionaries are really poor. Went to first zone pday which was a blast. We made some kind of temple... it was like the tower of babel lol. Funny how I've found that the things I've been through in life have actually helped me and others. My experiences have given me a unique perspective that allows me to press forward and support others. The Lord does work in mysterious ways. Christmas was not the Christmas I'm used to, felt like another P-day. We hung out at a church building and played some games. Gave my first talk, it was about the scattering of Israel and was aight [all right - for those of us from the older generation]. Got to learn the importance of the scattering & gathering. The title of the email is again me asking if these guys wanted to come to church. I know that God is aware of each of you and knows your challenges. Learn to trust Him and remember there is always a purpose for y...

All, What church do you go to? I don't think its any of your business. She started recording me walking around, lol. Spread the work for me ma'am  . Monday was good, I beat my companion and one of the other elders in my apartment in pickleball despite not really having played much before. Had a great discussion with Elder Johnson where we came up with the beautiful idea of doing pushups for undignified language again... Coming to realize my desire for serving is changing to a love for the people. As well as, slowly developing a desire to open the door to the celestial kingdom for those I serve. Went to a lesson where this part-member family starting attempting to bash us... being the white greenie I am, I just sat and listened to my companion testify and see the Holy Spirit shut them up. As I struggle with being out here and enjoying the work, I see God expressing His gratitude and love for my service through constant reminders that He is aware of me. Whether it be through some...
