Just Learned What Yeet Means


Alright, that's it. Someone complained that it was getting too hot, and so winter slipped her ugly mug back into the picture. It may have lasted just a couple days, but I shouldn't have to wear my thermals in June! Rant over. 

Another week and another dollar for me. We were able to go around and find just all kinds of people. My first person I found was a woman who's faith level I aspire to achieve. The bible speaks of spiritual gifts, and so does Moroni. One of these gifts is great faith. This woman's faith is so strong, that just like in the New Testament, she is able to use it to wrought miracles in the name of the lord. The bible says if you have faith, you can move a mountain. That's not just for priesthood holders, you know ;) anyways, we had just the greatest discussion as a rainstorm beat the earth. As we finished, a triple rainbow graced the skies. I almost started screaming like that double rainbow guy from YouTube. 

One day, this senior missionary calls us up like "yo, I got this neighbor, and I want you to pluck her weeds up." So we shake n baked our way down and got to work. I was handed a hoe and I just went to town, wreaking havoc on her overrun garden. It was pretty fun actually. I guess most people dont have as much enthusiasm as I as I do for gardening, so we got done much quicker than anticipated. We also transplanted some bushes. Throwback to the time last year when that woman threw a fish from 2014 or something into the hole and her husband freaked out. At the end, we shared a good ol message and the woman actually really enjoyed it! So that was new investigator number 2. 

One evening we figured that we might as well enter the labyrinth. That's what I call an apartment complex without any rhyme or reason. We tend to get lost if we enter, and the amount of birds there makes leaving a trail of breadcrumbs futile. Anyways, the first door we knock on instantly invites us in to number 3 and 4! We caught them the day before their 2nd anniversary! Hes training up to be a SERE in the Airforce, and I know a couple SERE specialists and so I was able to talk a bunch about that. We then talked about God and Jesus and more. It was difficult because of his strong belief in the trinity, but he could tell we've got some light about us and so he wants us to come back when his insane schedule permits it. 

We got a call from a part member family this week! They've got themselves a 10 year old daughter and they said, "Elders, it's time she got baptized." That's like saying to a teenager, "want some food?" So we mosy our way on over and meet one of my new favorite investigators. I'm a bit startled because she looks like a young version of someone who once meant a ton to me. But she is just the sweetest girl! And though she has almost no gospel knowledge, she soaks it up like crazy and just loves us! I had so much hanging out and teaching her "Jesus stuff". She will be baptized in a couple months. Let's go!

I guess I don't have too much left to say. Things have been good. Elder Willis is doing great and the work is flaming. We've taught some great lessons and brought tears, been offered a bounty of food, and the sunsets have just been crazy. That'll do for this week. But still keep those loins girt.
Check out us with this dog!


Beautiful Sunset
