Elder Gavin Milius: SHOTGUNNING SPRITES WITH THE ZONE LEADERS

Yo what's good with yall!!! This week has been quite the fun yet interesting yet awesome one!!!

Also for all those who I havent reached out individually, I'm making a Book of Mormon with family and friends favorite scripture in the Book Of Mormon as well as their testimonies of the Book of Mormon! If you want to be added into that just shoot me an email with your favorite Book of Momon scripture and your testimony!!

But to get on with my week!! Tuesday was a pretty sick day, we went to do service on the farm and then got back kinda late. 😅 we had to do some extra work to make sure Judy was set for the next couple days. But after that we went out to visit some people, nobody really answered but we did stop by some members and guess what, they fed us dinner!! Which was awesome!! We got to talk about some friends and ate some delicious nachos. Then we came back and called a heck ton of people to finish out the night.

Wednesday was apartment inspection day, so we spent the entire morning cleaning and then had inspections, then after that we both sat on our couches and just stared at the wall for a good minute. It was pouring rain outside so it just felt like one of those days where you don't go out and you just watch a movie. Those days don't exist when your a mission so we went out to visit some people and knock some apartments. There was this kne guy we knocked on who let us pray with him and then afterwards he gave both of us a hug and said he really needed that. So I tried to talk to him about the Book Of Mormon but he said he wasn't really interested, kinda stinks but hey at least we made his day. Then we went out and had a lesson with some members, and at this point is was just raining the whole ocean on us, but when we gotnto the members they took some time to answer and so we just had to sit out in the rain for like five minutes lol. But then we had an awesome lesson with them about temples cause with the Richmond Temple Open House coming very soon, president has really been pushing us to talk about the temple.

Thursday was just another day on duty, we had weekly planning and district council so nothing crazy, then we went out knocking, had like 2 contacts but they weren't successful, then came home and made a bunch of calls.

Friday was an exchange with the ZLs and I got to go with Elder Stacey, he's our new ZL since the other one went to AP. But Elder Stacey is an absolute Chad! The guy is just awesome, he's amazing at what he does and we just get along so well. We went out knocking for a while and had some awesome contacts with some people. We even met a lady who had read the Book of Mormon before and believed everything that was in it! Talk about the elect! Then we had a dinner appointment that I got to go to and then we went out knocking again. When we got to this place to knock we realized it was a really nice, rich neighborhood and when it comes to nice neighborhoods, those people usually aren't the nicest. BUT we had some awesome contacts and got a couple numbers. We are just that good at missionary work that even the rich are overtaken by the spirit!

Saturday we had an exchange with out district which was a blast! Nothing too crazy happened but it was my comps and another elder in our districts last exchange on their mission which blows my mind! It's crazy that they are at the end! But we had a great time.

Sunday was stake conference and we had great talks!! The temple president for the Richmond Temple came, our mission president and his wife gave talks, and we had someone from the Seventy give a talk as well, talk about a packed conference with studs for speakers! It was an awesome stake conference and we had a couple people come which was awesome! Then we got to have interviews with president! I have been looking forward to interviews with president for so long!! I honestly wish we had more time to talk but unfortunately I only got to talk for 15 minutes. But needless to say I learned a lot from president and he helped answer a lot of my questions!! Also apparently our mission president is very blessed, he has a 40 thousand dollar watch and carries around like 10 different 500 dollar pens!!! The guy is a genius and is very successful with his life. But he just has so much love for us as missionaries, I couldn't ask for a better president!

Anyways, that wraps up the week for me!! Again if you want to be added into the Book Of Mormon that I'm making, feel free to send my your favorite scripture in the Book Of Mormon and your testimony of the Book of Mormon!!! I love you all!! Keep being a light to everyone around yall!!!
