Yabba yabba but shut up

All,

This is how a conversation went:
"Would you want go to church?"
"I'm Irish."

Don't know how that works...

The subject line happened when this one guy asked what I was doing in the parking lot, I started to say I'm inviting people to church and He starts saying "Yabba yabba but shut up" in a sorta nice way. Don't know how to put that...

I had a lesson in a graveyard. We were walking around by a shopping place and then we found out after the phone call lesson that we were in a graveyard.

We went to stop by someone who apparently wanted to learn more about our church. 1st bad decision, this place was dark, no lights. 2nd bad decision, it was 7:30 at night. It was painted white and looked like your stereotypical murder house. 3rd bad decision, we decided to hop the back fence because it looked like it had multiple doors and we were lazy. So now it looked like we were up to something fishy lol. We noticed the generator was running so there must've been someone there, we knocked on one door and no one answered. 4th bad decision, we walked farther around the wrap-around porch, this place was a mess so we were dumb. 5th bad decision, we walked through some bushes to get to the next door on the house and saw a jeep that hadn't been used in a minute. 6th bad decision, we knocked on the door and then Elder Johnson read a note that said the power would be shut off in 2015... then that exact moment we both heard something. I got an eerie feeling and the Spirit said leave to both of us. We looked at each other and started walking as fast as we could, hopped the fence, ran to our bikes, and dipped. We drove back later that night with the other elders to show them and that place giving off dark psycho vibes. That house makes me nervous just thinking about it.

We got transfer news, I'm staying with my comp here, one of the elders is leaving to Richmond.

The big news: my brother Caden got engaged!! Congrats to him and Zanna!


Please pray for:
Victoria
Tommy
Davon & his son DJ
Rocky
Ivy Foley
Audrey Joy

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...
