Aight so I kinda picked the wrong week to skip an email so bare with me as I try to condense the last couple weeks into a relatively short email! But I'm doing fantastic in case yall were wondering! Things here in the Virginia are fantastic! It is officially winter time and yes I'm freezing my little Arizona butt off. Good thing is, I'm a little bit more prepared than I was last year with clothing so that's been a plus.
So in case yall maybe didn't hear I am training and I have a visa waiter going to Mexico as my trainee! He's an absolute beast, we get along so well. I was so nervous to train but I was truly blessed with a legendary comp. Anyways we've been working really hard, harder than I've ever worked with the motivation I've got from him. We've had an incredible last couple weeks. Some highlights are...
We found this one couple on the side of a parking lot out asking for some money, they had a 2 year old daughter with them too so I felt so sad. But I felt so strongly while we were street contacting to go talk to them. So we went inside Walmart, got some water, and went to them. We found out that he was struggling to find work and this Christmas was gonna be a hard one for their family, I just felt such a strong impression to testify to them of the power of God and our righteous desires can bring tremendous blessings. The spirit was so strong and literally immediately after I promised some of the most straight forward and powerful blessings, some guy walks up to them and hands them 100 dollars!!! They were speechless and so were we!! It was truly a witness of God that day!!
Another cool thing is obviously Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was chill, we had dinner with some members and a couple of different people that the members knew. We had a great time talking about football, country music, the military and all that! It was awesome!! We also played football with our ward early in the morning and of course ya boi went hard. But I ended up rolling my ankle really bad and it still hasn't fully healed. Literally as I'm typing this up I accidentally turned my foot wrong and caused a sharp pain in my foot lol. But Thanksgiving was lit and it's crazy to think this was my last Thanksgiving in Virginia!!!!
Another cool thing that happened this past week was we were able to see 2 of our friends attend church yesterday!!! It was awesome, both friends too are wonderful very promising friends so we're were so hyped to see them attend! Hopefully this week we may be putting one of them on date to be baptized either this month or next so prayers up for us and our friends Ruben and Darrell!
OK so that's about all I really wanna highlight from the past couple weeks, if you have any questions or wanna know more, shoot me an email! I love each and every one of yall! Keep killing it wherever you may be and always remember how divinely special you are. One thing I've learned so much on my mission is the fact that we each literally have such a personal connection with our Heavenly Father and that we are known, whether we feel alone or we feel forgotten or even unworthy of care, our father knows us, literally knows who we are. Lots of people search for fame in this world, many sell all they have to achieve that acceptance from those around them, and many just don't believe they have any impact on anyone. But we all have a father in heaven who could literally talk to us for hours about our lives, that's how much he knows us, that's how much he cares about us! Stay strong, love God, choose the right! Stay true to what you believe and find truth through prayer to learn of these things for yourself!!
