Whats up yall!! It's another Monday(even though this is going out Tuesday) I'm having a blast up here in Stafford. Things have been going really well, I've seen lots of miracles and the power of God has truly influenced my life and those around me!
So this week was pretty sweet! Lots of things happened! First we had zone leader exchanges this week and heck ya! I got to to go with my trainer!!! It was so fun to be hanging out with him doing missionary work with him again! We had a great day too, we talked to a lot of people and got to go to a Walmart just to talk to random people, it was nerve wracking! But once I finally got talking to people things git easier, I did however ask this one lady if she wanted to come to church and she put her hand up and yelled CREEP!! So I kinda just laughed at her and said God bless, then my comps reminded me of the scripture in Ether that says, "Fools Mock but they shall mourn." It's a pretty boss scripture if you ask me, especially when you get called a creep lol.
Other than the zone leader exchange we were able to have a lesson with our friend on date on Sunday, things went well and he is super open to this restored gospel and wants to learn more and more. We talked about the word of wisdom and although he did have minor issues, he still was like I absolutely will follow this commandment! So that was pretty sick!
Sunday we did get to have a member dinner and it was a delicious dinner on a fast Sunday. But the awesome part was they had a cello sitting in the room and so we started talking about cellos and orchestra and they let me play the cello! I mean this was the first time I've picked up a cello in like a year but it was seriously like riding a bike and I never thought I missed it so much till I played. I was a little trunky that night for some cello lol. Oh well it's OK, I've just been grinding at the guitar day in and day out, I've also got a harmonica that I'm trying to master, I've also got a ukelele out here as well and I have a banjo that once I replace the strings ima start mastering that as well hahah. So I guess I'll live without a cello till I get home.
So Monday night was crazy though!! We had a member dinner which went really well, the member made us steaks and pasta so can't complain about that. Then we had time to go visit some referrals. Little bit of background, we got a text from the office missionaries saying be careful for thunderstorms and even tornados! But we didn't care so we go visit this referral and as soon as we get there, it starts flooding out the sky. We were just stupid enough to get out and knock and the lady who answered was like dude! Go away! Come back later!! So we decided we would go home and it's jusy absolutely storming! Once we finally reach the road to home, there were cars stopped because there was like 2 trees that had collapsed on the road and from what we heard, there was a tornado funnel that formed and started causing dammage on this place but it never touched the ground. Still we had to move this giant tree to drive through so we had 10 guys all chucking tree sticks off the road and a couple guys with chainsaws chopping this tree trunk down. Finally the police and fire department showed up and with all the help, we were able to get the tree off the road and get traffic moving. Of course that didn't happen till it started raining cats and dogs again so me and my comps, in our white shirts and ties, were covered in dirt, grime, and lots of water! It was insane, but an experience I'll never forget and I'm sure other won't forget we were there either!
Anyways this was sorta a long email so ima end it here! But hope yall had an awesome week and are just having a blast! Stay safe out there and I'll talk to you guys in the next one!!
