 Whats up everybody! I have been super lazy lately not gonna lie and that's why it's been radio silence in Virginia Beach for the last 6 weeks but either way I am here and it's been a great transfer with a lot going on! 


First off, the area here has been pretty awesome! When we first got here it was not it I was pretty mad to leave the promised land of Harrisonburg Virginia with Elder Mulholland but Elder Mills, Elder Spencer and I have been straight grinding and I now actually have such a love for this area and the people in it. Unfortunately Elder Mills was on his last transfer so he is now just Trevor and he is in Malad City Idaho. Watch out Ella Spencer. Elder Mills replacement was another Elder named Elder Mills he is also an old head who is about to go home and is pretty chill but we still got my son Elder Spencer. 

Some of the highlights of the last transfer

We had a friend of ours who is dating one of our members Niko alongside with her family commit to being baptized! We have been teaching them in some mega mansion in Virginia Beach where they would chef up some amazing meals before the spirit chefed up some amazing lessons. The main focus of our lesson was to get Nevada baptized who was dating our member with her mom being some moral support but she eventually decided she wanted to get some runs in and next thing you know she's on date as well. Once you hear the restored gospel there's really no turning back. 

The best part of the transfer was our guy Brian being baptized this week! Brian is such a goat. He has been getting taught by missionaries for years and years now with his wife also being a member but he finally made the decision to do it. He slowly but surely made his way into the waters but he had what was one of the most wholesome baptisms ever. His family is so amazing and for them to watch their dad get baptized was one of my favorite experiences on my mission to be a first hand witness too. 

We also have had some awesome exchanges. I have been able to get to know a lot of missionaries and to hear their stories and why they are out in the mission field is always an awesome experience. 

Moses 7
28 And it came to pass that the God of heaven looked upon the residue of the people, and he wept; and Enoch bore record of it, saying: How is it that the heavens weep, and shed forth their tears as the rain upon the mountains?

29 And Enoch said unto the Lord: How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity?

In this chapter Enoch and his people were lifted up into heaven and God is looking upon the residue of the people and their wickedness. I love how this shows the personality of God in how he is truly a loving Heavenly Father. Someone that is holy from eternity to all eternity weeps for us. God has a perfect love for each of you!

MTC Baby

  What's up everyone! Im writing this on my new android phone with really bad autocorrect so bear with me here.  5th day of provo MTC and I think I finally might be locked in on the missionary lifestyle. Being able to wake up at 6:30 every day has truly been a miracle. Bless up. I would seriously kill for a nap but I guess those aren't allowed around here. I got super lucky with my district we all get along pretty well. My companion Elder Bills is a dog. He has been telling me about his adventures in the harsh mountains of Idaho. He doesn't say much but when he does it's gospel. We had our first teaching appointment yesterday and even with practicing humility we killed it. Turns out the MTC teaching appointment are actors but hey a wins a win.  We have had some pretty spiritual classes and thanks to my teachers my testimony has grown so much over the last week. My favorite part so far has been my personal studies. The people in my district know everything there is to kn...

Providence Week 4

  Howdy yall it's been yet another week here in Providence and it seems to just be going faster and faster every week. This week was one of the more testing weeks on my mission. We didn't find a whole lot of people and with that there were quite a few bashers mixed in as well. It has honestly been a blessing in disguise though because every person who tries to bash us has been giving us new questions we have been able to take apart. Each one we were able to come up with a great response too.  It really has made me confident in our gospel.   This week me and Elder Ford were able to go on an exchange with our zone leaders who are way fun and are great examples of missionaries. They are also great teachers so it was way cool to see a great lesson up close and personal. I was with Elder Johnson and we were chopping it up about bball and he also has one of the best Peter Griffin impressions I have ever heard.  Also on Saturday we were able to visit the college campus...

Providence Week 3

  What's up everybody! Yet another great week here in Providence and it’s crazy to me that a week has passed since my last email. It's already starting to go so fast. This week started off with me and Elder Ford being solo since the other companionship in our apartment was on an exchange with another companionship. It felt really weird living with just one other person but elder Ford still made it fun. This week we also had our exchange but it was with the companionship in our apartment who we share the same area with which was probably one of my favorite days on the mission. The other companions are starting their own area as well so most of the people they teach are just people found on the street so me and Elder Sharp were just out finding all day. We worked really well together and this was probably my most successful day on the mission after what was a somewhat dry week.  Highlights of da week  -Met Mrs. Utah and we made sure to invite her to church. She also made us...
