 Whats up email! Happy Fathers days shoutout pops, Nobe, Grandpa, and of course Heavenly Father. Quite a bit has gone down since we last touched base so I'll hit u with a quick update. First off Elder Spencer is all graduated and out of his training RIP, Elder Rigdon Mills after being here for a calm one transfer got out of here and is in Souther Richmond (bouta get slimed). Coming in from right next door to be my comp was Elder Pipes. He was in our zone already and then he just rolled up over here so I already have pulled up on some exchanges with him so you can pretty much say we are homies. He is from Manti, Utah and is one of the most Christlike people I have ever met second to only Johnny Biggs. It has been a great time with him and comp chemistry is up at least 30% so that's definitely a plus. Like I said before I am still in Virginia Beach right on the border of the place I was for 3 transfers and now where I have been for 2 going on 4. All I know is Virginia Beach. But it is an awesome area the lord has been definitely supplying lately.


Also we heard just 2 weeks ago we found out what mission we would be in and turns out I am in the new mission RIP the dream of serving around Elder Flandro (they couldn't have 2 crazy boys in one mission ) Gonna definitely miss our mission president, President Warburton. He is such a dog and I have learned so much from him about being a disciple of Christ. The Norfolk mission's president is President Merrel who also seems like an absolute dog. The first thing he does out here isn't greet the other mission president, not meet the aps, not do a zone tour, but he goes out street contacting. Don't tell me that's not some Dennis Rodman typa stuff. Gonna be hype to see how he runs things.

Some calm highlights 
- Had quite a few exchanges, had my last one up in Richmond guess no more sliming 
- On our exchange the Elder I went with were teaching some middle school friend group living in some neighborhood not their families but just all their homies so we just posted up with them for a sec with the one of them that was baptized and had him just testify like a beast while we are throwing the football around
- Had the opportunity to go to the temple which is always goated
- Been knocking like an og missionary and it honestly had been mad fruitful
- This one guy who acted like he was interested with his 2 lil unbaptized youth invited us inside just to bash us while he has got his lil kid watching 
- We were able to find and teach a lot of families lately which is makes missionary work just so wholesome

So all is well the South is seceding the work is hastening but here is a some chill scriptures

Revelation 3
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

One of the greatest truths that our Heavenly Father loves us is the fact that he wants us to completely fulfill our potential and strive to be perfected in Christ's atonement!

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...
