 Whats up email! Hope everybody has been doing well! What another amazing couple weeks here in the best commonwealth in the world. 

We have had some awesome baptisms in the last couple of weeks. Lemme give you a quick rundown on them-

First off our homie Rees. We were just chilling at church when Rees walked in after never having any contact from missionaries. Of course we swooped him up and we taught him there at church and set up a lesson with him later that week. After a spirit felt lesson we threw him on date for baptism and he was going strong. After a couple of weeks though we lost contact with him just out of the blue. But he remembered what he felt and he made his way back. We were able to be witnesses for his baptism in the first landing state park bay which was so chill! He is such a goat and is now a fellowship machine to all our friends at church. 

We also had an awesome baptism with Quincy. He was just smooth sailing. We met him over the phone as a social media referral and invited him to watch general conference at our church but he had no ride. Quincy being the beast that he is just ubers over to the church watches general conference side by side with me and then we also throw him on date. We continued to meet with him and got him dunked! 

Each of these people and their stories are so cool. God truly blessed us up to have them pull up its been a lot of fun in VB

Other than that not a whole lot has been going on. We had some goated lessons snd some great exchanges with a bunch of cool elders. We also were able to stay up in Richmond for two night for the temple and an exchange so that was way fun. All is well, God is good. AGTG Shoutout Whisp

Spiritual thought 
Doctrine and Covenants 123:17
Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

In this scripture our boy Joseph is going through the trenches. Getting absolutely smoked in liberty jail. He writes to the Saints explaining what they should do as their Prophet is locked up. I love this scripture so much because in this life so much is up to God and his plan. But at the end of the day all we can do is cheerfully do all things that lie in our power. Whatever you may be going through just go about doing all you can and God will provide!
Love and miss yall!

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...
