Elder Gavin Milius: State Minister of Virginia for the Church Of God Prayed for us!

YO YO YO!! How's yalls week been!! Hopefully awesome and if not hopefully it's better since your hearing from me cause what's awesome without "me" lol. Jk jk but my week was pretty sick! It went by super quick not gonna lie and I'm super late to writing this email, I'm literally sitting on our couch in my undies writing this before I have to go change into my white shirt and tie.

This week honestly was pretty sweet! Nothing insane happened and we did a lot of knocking but I finally convinced my comp to make some calls in the evening instead of knocking and we found two new people to teach doing that so that was pretty sweet.

Tuesday we had interviews with president and we just chatted about me being DL, president do be fire though! He gave some fantastic insights and now I'm ready for war. It was so awesome though cause we got to go to the Mission home which is the house in the backyard of the temple so we basically just got to hang out at the temple while we waited for interviews. President does have like the best house out there though. It's insane just waking up and looking out the window and seeing the temple 50 yards from you. Then later that night while we were knocking we ran into a pastor who was super nice and tried recruiting us for the army, he says we already git the build so I'm taking that as a compliment 💪💪 then he was gonna let us go but he said he was on the phone with the state minister of Virginia for the Church of God so he asked him to say a prayer for us and for what we have to share aka the Book of Mormon! It was sick! Lowkey felt honored to have the strength from that.

Wednesday and thursday were pretty normal I guess. We got a member meal on Wednesday with a very funny family which was sick. Thursday we got to work at the Temple and we were supposed to go through with one of our friends but she never texted us so we just assumed she bailed, but later that day she texted us saying she went! I mean I'm glad she went but I wanted to go with her!

Friday and saturday were basically just filled with knocking since we didn't have any lessons but Saturday was the last day for the open house and we got to close! So when time came we got to go through the temple one more time at the end of our shift and so we were the very last people to tour the temple before it gets dedicated. After we got out of the temple though we wanted to take a huge group picture but it started pouring, we still took the picture but we all got soaked and then said screw it and just basically all hung out in the rain at the temple at night. It made me feel like I was back in highschool and it was so nice! It was just a party!

Today we had an awesome day! We woke up, played some pickle ball with some old guys, came home, slept for a couple hours, went to hang out with our zone, played volleyball and basketball which was a blast! And then came home, went to the store, came home again, went to go drop our suits off at a dry cleaner since they got soaked at the temple and then came home to relax! And now we start the week off with knocking!!!

Anyways that's my week! I hope yall have a great week and I look forward to emailing yall in the next one!! Dueces ✌️
