Well, I never thought it would come to this, but here’s my last email. It’s so surreal to think it has been 2 years and that it is now over. Right now, I don’t know exactly how to feel, I’m just a wreck of mixed emotions. Anyway, here is the happenings of week 104.<br />

Monday we walked the big dam bridge with Paul. So, funny story. I don’t know if y’all remember, but last Sunday I spilled a little water on Paul during sacrament. Well, on Monday, karma hit me like a freight train. Only, it wasn’t water. I literally knocked a whole soda on my pants because my arm decided to turn into Velcro and catch a straw by a millimeter of the top and yank it all over me. So I got sticky and wet and couldn’t focus on my pizza. But I was able to shower and then Paul took us to the chiropractor where a member worked on us for free. Not a huge fan, not much was fixed on me...bummer. The Smiths fed us dinner and it was some good curry! I think I had 2 or 3 plates. After that We went shopping that night and got hit on BAD by 2 Walmart workers lol. One snatched my Book of Mormon cause she wanted mine instead of Elder Roberts. It was also kind of gross, cause they were asking super weird and gross questions, so we gave them Book of Mormons, said a prayer for their sanity and morals in our hearts and left.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we literally tract and knocked doors all day. We found a couple people who said to come back, but not a ton. It was so hot and humid, I had a butt sweat that was so noticeable you could see it from a country mile away. Paul picked us up and took us home for a shower and refreshment haha. We played basketball that night for the last time and I did alright. I made a 3 and boy you woulda thought I won the World Series I was so happy! Not a bad night.<br />

Wednesday we had district meeting and then afterwards we went out and cleaned up a less actives shed. Y’all, this place had every bit of disease and filth I have ever seen. It smelled, it was wet and groggy and clothes and old mattresses every where. We went and got gloves so we could tackle the monster. Some guy stole my bible while we were at family dollar. I hope he reads exodus 20. We got back and went in for the kill. Oh, side note, I bought Sister Palmer gloves and family dollar gave me a pair of right hands....that’s what we get for being cheap lol. I ended up picking up an old mop and guess what surprise I was taken for? There was how ever many years old turd on the handle and lucky me got it on my glove. It was towards the end of the service due to it started raining, so I threw the glove away. It was horrifying how gross that place was. We came home and studied before Ethan picked us up for dinner. I love the Hendersons. After dinner, Ethan took us to choir rehearsal and I said bye to him cause he was heading to Iowa for a job for 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
Thursday we had our interviews with President. Mine wasn’t too long cause I’ll see him tomorrow for an exit interview. I made goals for my last 5 or so days in the field and all that. We changed, gave the car to the sisters and started out walking again. It was HUMID. We were drenched in 30 minutes. By the time we got home after that, I started to clean up and pack a bit before the Franks picked us up for dinner and took us to Cracker Barrel. After dinner, which was awesome, we went to volleyball and it was literally just us, the Otter Creek Sister’s and the Hermana’s. Oh well, it was fun!<br />

Friday we went out with Paul after my last weekly Planning (I’m so happy I don’t have to do that again). We went finding, contacting and visiting less actives, but we only had 1 lesson happen. But it was a solid lesson!! Her name is Mrs. Dean and she is a sweet heart. She had a lot of questions about “Old Joe Smith” lol. But she was genuine and wants to learn more as we explained the restoration to her. She was so happy and upbeat that it made me smile the whole time haha. Paul had some real good input cause they were both baptist at one point and they really connected! She also knows a few members of our ward, so we are goin* to try to contact the, to go with us this coming Friday! As we left she was saying “I’ll see y’all next week! Well, besides Adair, he’s gone” and that’s when it kinda hit me that I go home soon, but I brushed it off and laughed. Paul took us out to eat at La Hacienda and it was so good. Kinda funny side note, there was literally 10 year olds working there...talk about family restaurant. But la hacienda is a chain, so we were taken for all sorts of turns. Paul kept saying he was gonna call the mariachi band to play me a song and make a scene, so I slammed my street tacos and we left lol. He took me for a drive around Pinnacle Mountain one last time and it was so peaceful and the sunset was gorgeous and the air outside got cool. Imma miss Arkansas something fierce I’ll y’all what. There ain’t nothin but the humidity I ain’t like. I can’t believe it’s coming to a close.<br />

Saturday we went out and mowed Sister Stuckey’s lawn. We invited her the the General Authority visit that night and she said she would go (we could only go if we brought a returning member or investigator). Then we went to help Brother Dixon move a couch, but the guy at the<br />
gate couldn’t open the gate. So we just got lunch instead. We then went with a returned missionary named Adam. We went to try a few investigators but everyone didn’t answer. Well, Etheon told us to come back later. We did, though, get in contact with a new person we found on Tuesday. Her name is Akia. We gave her a Book of Mormon cause she asked for it Tuesday, so we came to follow up and teach a lesson. Well, her husband was outside and made it known about 6 times that he was Muslim. In my head all I could think was, “man do i gotta add Muslims to the list of ‘I gotta make it known’ along with vegans and cross fitters?” He was ranting on the side as we talked with Akia. We didn’t get a lesson in due to her questions...which were very odd. She legit asked what the difference between the new and Old Testament was...then asked how the Book of Mormon compares. We had to explain that like 5 times. We taught a little about Joseph smith but not much cause Mr. Muslim came back. We invited them to church and all of a sudden Mr. Muslim is make a deal how that’s his rest day cause he works every day (literally he works from 8 pm to 11 pm at a gas station). Then, he basically commanded Akia to go to church, so I’m what, what is going on? Well we got a ride situation all settled and left. We came home for a bit before Brother Loken came out with us to try some more people. Our appointments that night fell through and so we went back to Etheon and Sharon’s. Well, they dropped us...that was hard. We went to visit a deaf member named Peter. It<br />
was cool cause Brother Loken signed as we taught about the 10 commandments. He took us home and we got ready for the devotional. When we got there, we waited and called Sharon a few times but no answer. She never came...so we dropped our suit coats in Spanish Elders car and went finding. We tracted out an apartment complex and found only 1 guy who told us to come back. He took a Book of Mormon and our card cause he wants to learn how to love more. We also found probably the nicest ex Mormon haha. Other than that, we walked home, tired as all get out and sweatier than a pig in blanket.<br />

Sunday was really long. We did our missionary choir at Benton ward while there were 2 general authority 70’s there. Elder Johnson visited with Elder Robbins a few months ago and said he remembered me, not to brag or anything. Also, Elder Clayton of the presidency of the 70 was there as well. He’s awesome! After the sacrament meeting, we went with Brother Loken and tried to see Akia, but she avoided us like the plague. More funny story again. As I went to knock, the door was kinda opened, so I knocked on the side of the door. Well, I did that twice and no one answered. I stayed and knocked one last time, but silly me hit the middle of the door and it sprung right open to reveal a woman on her phone. Well, Mrs. ma’am about died lol. We asked for Akia and explained who we were and she shut the door to find her. Another lady then came out and asked if we had walked into her house and said she was scared to death. So again, we explained who we were and she laughed it off. Apparently Akia wasn’t interested though. There is a door and a small room right by the front door and I saw someone in it thinking it was her husband, so I didn’t bother cause I didn’t want another episode like the previous day. Well, we were told Akia was in there, but she didn’t come out and so we left. Then we saw Sharon Stuckey and she said she will come to church next week. We went to church, sadly no one came. We stayed after church cause we also attended Spanish branch. I said my goodbyes and got a ton of going home advice haha. Ammon Henderson gave me a dope tie as well as the young women in the stake made all the missionaries goody baskets. Such a good day at church. We sang there too. It was pretty funny cause Elder Roberts and I were straining our necks trying to poke our heads closer to try to understand words and phrases so we knew what the branch president was saying lol. So in total we were at church from 8:15 am to 4 pm and took the sacrament 3 times. So not gonna brag, but we got extra sanctified this week. Either that, or we sinned so much that we needed extra spirit and remembrance. We went to Sister Bernal’s for dinner afterward and it was pretty hard cause that was the last time I was gonna see the dog, Macy, for a few months. I wasn’t worried about Sister Bernal cause I have her phone number, but Macy...that was hard. We came home and I packed my bags for the last time.<br />
<br />
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. I feel like it was just yesterday I was wrestling my brothers in front of the MTC, walkin in with a grass stain on my elbow. I can’t help but express my love and gratitude to my God and Savior for calling me to this wonderful part of the world. I wouldn’t trade anything for it. I have learned to love, to cherish the little things, the be humble, to give freely to those in need, to always rely upon my savior, to serve with all my might, mind and strength, to look outside of myself and put myself away for the benefit of others and to gain a testimony of the work of the Lord.<br />

I can now say with all energy of heart, I know this is the true church of Jesus Christ again restored to the earth. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet. The most important testimony gained, was how I know my Savior lives. He is more than just a man in a Book. He is more than someone people talk about. He is more than a story told at Christmas or Easter time. He is the living Son of the living God. Although I hear nonbelievers say all the time, as did Mr. Muslim, “Jesus didn’t die for me,” he did. He died and suffered more than anyone on this earth, for everyone on this earth. There isn’t anything anyone can say to persuade me from that testimony. There is a God and he is our Father. The Book of Mormon and Bible testify of this truth over and over again. I promise whoever should read the Book of Mormon with a sincere and open heart, the Holy Ghost will testify to them of the same truths I know. It’s impossible for this not to happen, but you have to be willing to act on the promptings you get.<br />
<br />
Many times I have been asked to share what I have learned on my mission. Well guys, that is the most loaded question I can be asked lol. I can’t explain all of the experiences I have had on my mission in an email. It is literally impossible. There is no way to do it properly without feeling my emotion as I speak. The people of the South truly have a piece of my heart and there is no way I can get it back. This is my home and this is the land I got to serve my God. If I could just say one thing about my service, it would be I’m changed. I didn’t get the opportunity to baptize anyone in these 2 years.<br />
<br />
I didn’t get the chance to see the end goal for 99% of the people I taught and I hope to God they find the missionaries again. I stood in the water but once to assist in a baptism, but my feet are dry. Though many people may say I might be ineffective, maybe they’ll say I failed, maybe they will think I was just unlucky, but as for me, I say I’m about as successful as I could be. I done performed my calling to the best of my ability and I can say without a doubt I left it all on the field. I can say as Paul, I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. I’m my one. I just hope and pray I had a good effect on the people I came in contact with. I love every single one of y’all and am so grateful y’all have been there to support and love me through these 2 years. Y’all are the greatest. I’ll see y’all soon.<br />

So you’re probably wondering, why in the world am I Mormon cursing a cow? Well, my good ole pal, Elder Brownell, is our Zone/District Leader and he gave a very interesting story at district meeting.<br />

There was a boy and his father. They worked on a farm and for a while and the dad did all of the work. Well, the boy got older and the dad thought it was time for him to be able to help. So, he started him off small with weeding. When he got a little older and a little better he gave him other tasks to do until he got older and better at those as well. One day, the farmer decided he was good enough to work the tractor and plow the field. So, like a good father and mentor, he hopped on the tractor with his son and showed him the ropes. He taught him how to keep the line straight. He told him, “you gotta fix your eyes on something in the distance, and keep on that course!” So he left him to the work and went about doin his own thing. About an hour later he comes back to check on the kid and the field was HORRIBLE! He stopped his son and asked him what the heck was goin on? To this he replied, “I did as you told and kept my eyes focused on one thing, BUT THAT DANG COW KEPT MOVING!!”<br />
<br />
I hope y’all laughed as hard as I did. Anyway, y’all are probably wondering what the heck this has to do with anything. Well, at first I thought the same thing, and I’m not gonna lie to y’all, I forgot the whole reason, but I know it had to do with goals! So here is what I got from it as I read it again. When we set goals, we have to make sure it’s focused on something steady that isn’t going to move and take our aim off of what we are trying to accomplish. I hope that made sense, but if not, it was a funny story anyway.<br />

Well here’s the week y’all!!<br />
<br />
Monday we went to Joseph A. Bank and I got fitted for a suit, but that’s literally all we did.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we hiked to the church for the one and only, MyPlan. This week was extra special cause I got to set goals for....DATING!! So I left it all blank. Kidding, but I wanted to get it over with. Elder Pickering and I did it at the same time and so we were sending our answers to each other and it was a friggin hoot. Paul came and picked us up and we went out to check on some of our potentials and some formers. That wasn’t successful, so we tried some less actives...same turn out. We went to the Loken’s for dinner and it was a hoot! They’re super awesome and told stories of their missions. The kids made us breakfast burritos and they were stellar. I had like 3. We went to basketball and let me just say, the Tune Squad Space Jam Short I bought does not give me basketball powers. I think I just needed some of Mike’s secret stuff cause I SUCKED! But a bunch of less actives came so it was awesome!<br />

Wednesday I woke up feeling like crap. I had to lay down for a bit to make sure I didn’t blow chunks everywhere. Thankfully, my cries were heard and I was alright. We went and knocked out another area but no one was having it. We tried some potentials but only got one answer and it was his brother who said he don’t know when he is around. We planned to put my pictures on a flash drive, but the family history center was locked...so we ate dinner as I wrote some stuff out for my departing testimony. I also got my flight itinerary so that was interesting. We had Book of Mormon class and then rehearsed for a song we will sing on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Thursday we had district meeting and then we exchanged. I went with Elder Bolos to Benton. We taught a really good lesson after having District lunch. It was with one of their top investigators and he was awesome! We really only got to teach repentance cause he said he wasn’t ready for a baptismal date yet. He is waiting for that “a-ha” moment. We had a little dinner before we headed out to go help a family move. Crazy thing, they’re from somewhere near Seattle but their daughter is going to Weber here in a few weeks. So that was cool. We had an exchange review and hit the hay.<br />

Friday we exchanged back and helped an elderly family move. We unpacked boxes and arranged their garage and rooms. We found this big ole saw and Elder Brownell and I were tryin to do a magic trick with Elder Roberts but he wouldn’t. I guess he doesn’t have trust that we can help him after we cut him in half. Whatevs. They fed us pizza and then we came home and changed so we could go out with Brother Boushka. Sadly, no one answered the door...but hey we tried, I guess. Well, one person did. Her name is Mrs. Dean! She’s a southern ole lady who is just so sweet. We set an appointment for next Friday cause she had a nail appointment. We came home and then Paul picked us up and again, no one answered the door. So it was a tough day, but, just another day.<br />
<br />
Saturday we had Theresa’s baptism. She was taught by both the Otter Creek (Little Rock) sisters and the Bryant sisters. She’s adorable. She is 91 and Elder Roberts and I had the chance to baptize her! Elder Roberts did the ordinance and I stood back to help lift her cause she is fragile. She was so happy and full of life, it was amazing! I’m so glad I got to be a part of it, even if I didn’t get to perform the ordinance. We went home and studied and then went again with Paul. Sadly, Etheon and Sharon didn’t keep their appointment, so that was a super bummer. Kim wasn’t home, and neither was anyone else. Well, we did set some appointments for this week, but a couple were less than solid. But hey, try and try again am I right? Paul got us and the sisters dinner at Church’s Chicken and we ate at the church. For y’all who don’t know what that is, it’s just a ghetto KFC.<br />

Sunday was chill. We had a good church meeting and it sounds weird to say, but I bore my last testimony in church. Holy cow that’s weird. Anyway, no one came and I was pretty bummed, but there ain’t nothin you can do with others agency...even if what you wanna do is wring em by the neck and force em into sacrament. But sadly, I think that’s against like 3 commandments. We went to Sister Bernal’s house for dinner and we had El Salvadorian tamales. They were good! The Rugby girls were there again and thankfully no one was set-up haha. But we actually got their names this week. We went out for a bit after that, but nothin happened.<br />
<br />
So some fun information, were goin to have a devotional on Saturday with 2 members of the 70 this weekend! What a way to end! Then we get to sing for them. It’s gonna be cool cause one is Elder Clayton, the longest member of the 70 presidency! I hope y’alls week was bomb! I only have one more weekly to write and then I’ll see y’all in person! Thanks for all the love and support y’all have shown over these past 2 years!! I love y’all!!<br />

So the subject has minimal relevance to this week, but Elder Short just thought he might bring up some of his own doctrine in the car with us and this was part of it. Like, y’all know in Transformers 3 when they are introducing Optimus to that one government guy and the black dude says “God created us in his image, he created him.” Well, apparently that’s doctrine now lmao. Not really, but something funny from today.<br />
<br />
Monday we went to Third Realm with Spanish and the zone leaders and then just chilled and played sports.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we helped Ethan Henderson move some couches for Sister Worthington. Right after that we had a zone blitz in our area and we were able to get a ton of referrals from the zone! It was awesome! I went with Elder Bolos and a 16 yr old member. I had a door actually slammed in my face and Elder Bolos and I actually thought that was quite refreshing cause that hasn’t happened in a while for both of us haha. We knocked for a little over an hour with no success. We talked to a ton of people but no one wanted to have it. The last door we knocked on, we ran into a lady named Veronica and she was awesome! She took a Book of Mormon and actually asked us to share our testimonies on it. She loved our enthusiasm and gave us her number. It was so stellar. We got back and studied and then went to basketball and as we walked to the church (at 8:15 pm) we got a call from the AP’s telling us we had to be in Stuttgart the next morning for an emergency exchange...but to start the call he says “sorry we didn’t tell you earlier.” Like, Y’ALL STRESSING ME OUT AND Y’ALL KNEW 4 HOURS AGO?! But it’s all cool, I played basketball and got wrecked...but a ton of non-members came and we talked to a bunch of them. It was a good night!<br />
<br />

It was pretty cool! It’s very flat out in the Delta, but a ton of dope fields. We rode all day and taught a dope lesson to a couple who is SO prepared! I’m following up with Stuttgart this week to see the progress. Stuttgart is actually the world duck hunting capital of the world and it’s also, as the sign says, the rice capital of the world. So I made history, I guess! I got to ride my bike down a high way and a bunch of dirt roads. Like, when I got called to Arkansas, Stuttgart is what I thought I would get haha. I got some rad pictures I’ll send. We were drenched in sweat, but hey, we talked to almost everyone we saw and taught some good lessons! We missed a couple, but hey, repentance! We went to bed way early, as well.<br />
<br />
Thursday we exchanged back and went out riding our bikes to see a few people. It took us a little bit longer to get out cause my tire popped...and then while trying to fix it while I was doing some administrative stuff for the mission, I heard a pop noise and then Elder Roberts say, “uh oh.” Great haha. He popped another hole but we fixed it with duct tape and a patch. Not much success as we were out and about, but we got to sweat a bit I guess. Ethan picked us up and we ate dinner at the Henderson's. It was awesome!<br />
<br />
Friday we weekly planned and Paul took us out. We taught a super good lesson to a guy we found last week named Etheon. We taught the plan of salvation and he loved it! We gave him a Book of Mormon and explained how it can help him cope with the loss of loved ones. We told him to read the introduction to gain more insight on why it’s important as well. This is important. We went out and tried to knock a street and contact people, but not much happened. A couple people said to come over on Saturday. Not a bad day! Our dinner cancelled, so Paul came in clutch and we got Wendy’s. We went back out and tired to visit a few other people. We also met a kid from Salt Lake who was out selling security. He said he was baptized but not active and left before we could get any info.<br />

Saturday was good. Well, we called a referral and set up an appointment for that day, and then legit 5 minutes later, she calls back and said she don’t want it no more. Like, who’d she talk to in 5 minutes? She must have been very easily persuaded haha. Oh well, we went out with Paul and met a guy named Darian and he was cool. He was busy and told us to come back on Thursday. We went to Etheon’s and his wife answered the door holding the Book of Mormon. In my head I was frantic thinking, sonuva gun, she is giving it back and they ain’t interested. Well, by the grace of God and to my absolute surprise, she opened it and said “what were we supposed to read again? My daughter was reading and lost the book mark.” Y’all I threw a fit!!! I was ecstatic! We went in and taught her about the Book of Mormon and talked about the introduction and then she told us she works with Bishop Warner. My heart swelled up and I was on a high! They have 5 kids. One 16 and the rest were 7 and younger. One of this kids kept hugging us and it was precious. Anyway, we went out and not much success was found as we were out. One lady even answered the door and then as she went to grab who we were looking for, she never came back to the door. They literally waited until we left after 5 minutes of standing there...like, y’all just tell us if y’all ain’t interested. It’d be so much easier for all of us! We got back had went to dinner at the Dixon’s. It was awesome! He is our Elders Quorum President and gave us some insight on who we can help in the ward. We left and I finished some MyPlan.<br />
<br />

No one came to church for us, but the sisters had a few and it was great! We had correlation and then went to check on Brother Accquah and Brother Bellerose. Brother Bellerose is moving so we got his info and then headed to dinner. So, this dinner was off the hook lmao. Sister Bernal invited 4 girls who are visiting from Utah, who are all on the USU Rugby team. They were super dope and hilarious, but then it got SUPER awkward. Sister Bernal started to try to get Paul to be set up with them and then told them all that I go home soon and need to open my eyes lmao. We all just passed the water around and made it a joke to cool down haha. Sister Bernal then took us to visit a kid that’s dating her friend's daughter. A lot has gone down with this family so we went over and taught this kid a little bit about God and invited him to pray and ask if he is there. It was super good! We gave the member a blessing and blessed her home. It was a great day!<br />
<br />
So this week we have gotten our area book up to speed and have more and more people to at least go visit. We have been knocking relentlessly and finding lately. All is well now! We’re on an uphill climb! These last couple weeks are probably gonna kill me, but that’s okay, cause if I die for Jesus, what better way? I love y’all and sorry this is is so late!<br />

Howdy y’all!<br />
<br />
So this was a SUPER hot week full of stuff. I can say I put my blood and sweat into this week.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhonztlD4B5FdKn59COqDbfIeZOklgy7njCFRI_ovwf2oj1f53qUU66YPgwmZKwYt_82iyu3fSQDag9f8K4l1AL-2RUmpI3xcWOkpZIfuejNSHd9YzxOH3-gvzUC4xwesKh6VG0Pe0bUmA0/s1600/IMG_9073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1193" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhonztlD4B5FdKn59COqDbfIeZOklgy7njCFRI_ovwf2oj1f53qUU66YPgwmZKwYt_82iyu3fSQDag9f8K4l1AL-2RUmpI3xcWOkpZIfuejNSHd9YzxOH3-gvzUC4xwesKh6VG0Pe0bUmA0/s320/IMG_9073.JPG" width="236" /></a>Monday we hiked Pinnacle Mountain with Ethan, a member who got his mission call to Mexico! Fun fact, my post mission trip falls on his last weekend and farewell! Woot woot! Paul took us and Elders Bolos and Brownell bowling and I got slaughtered. He then took us and spanish out for shakes! Later that night we got a phone call. Well, here’s the catch, the ringtone wasn’t ours. But of course silly me still told Elder Roberts to answer it (he had the phone in his hand). We went on a search after seeing it wasn’t out phone ringing. Yup...the zone leaders left their phone at our place haha. We called Paul to give us a ride to their apartment cause the sisters had the car. We felt bad cause he had just gotten home and pulled up in his drive way as we called. But we got there and informed the AP’s but they told us to wait at their apartment until they get home. So we did as told. Around 10:15 we called the sisters and asked if they could drive to our apartment and see if they were waiting for us at our place. Well la-dee-freakin-dah! They did the same thing as us haha. They came back to us and we got home around 10:45. Great night.<br />
<br />

Good ole Travis has a sweet corvette and as we talked with him at his door, we realized homeboy was in his underwear haha! Paul took us back home after we we’re drenched in sweat from knocking. We had dinner at the Anderson’s and they’re awesome! Sister Anderson is actually Brother Devoux’s, from Hot Springs, daughter! She made some bomb enchiladas. It always gives me a chuckle when people tell us they are sorry for their kids acting out when company is over cause I just think about my family and tell them “if y’all only knew” cause not every family has a Crew hahahaha. We went to basketball and I am not improving.<br />

Wednesday we met a new investigator named Sharise! She is super cool! We taught her the plan of salvation, but I think I my discernment was off cause after we got done she made a few comments about needing direction on truth and I immediately felt chastened cause we should have just stuck with the restoration. But the lesson went fine! We invited her to church and to read the pamphlets! We then went out for a late lunch with Brother Bailey, who was with us in the lesson. He is our ward mission leader and super awesome. He dropped us off to get the car from the sisters and then went door knocking and then went to Book of Mormon class. After that, we had a rehearsal for a song we are going to sing with a bunch of other missionaries my last Sunday in the field. We then had a short correlation. This is where the night got crazy. The sisters never texted in and so the zone leaders called us. Then the commencement and perfect execution of Operation Fast Hog took place. We strapped on our safety vests and running shoes to travel the 1.5 mile ruck. Well, to ensure we arrived at the LZ in a timely manner (within 15 minutes), Elder Roberts had to hop on his bike. My bike got taken out of commission by some commie screw and blew my tire. But nothing stops the Bear. I took to my feet and got a runnin. We got there dripping in sweat and crampin like none other. The sisters were safe and apologized at least 12 times. After securing the sisters inside and making a sweep of all missionaries in the area, we made the sprint back. We were back in and safe at 10:30 and had a great nights rest. Operation Fast Hog was a success.<br />
<br />

We went finding again and found a guy named Etheon. No other success was found. Bishop Warner came out with us and we saw some members and brought some women in the ward flowers! It was great!<br />
<br />
Friday started off with a downpour of rain. Then 20 minutes later, I kid you not, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it reached 115 degrees of skin melting heat. So, we weekly planned and exchanged with the zone leaders. I went with Brownell! I love that dude! We taught a guy named Mark who’s a member. Fun fact, I taught this guy one of his new member lessons with Elder May last February! Then we went and checked on one of their investigators. She was super cool and let us in and we answered a lot of her questions. We went to Taco Bell for dinner and then went to try some other people before calling it a night. I guess a huge storm rolled in that night as well.<br />
<br />

We knocked out another list given to us and tried a bunch of other people as well. Right before we exchanged, Elder Roberts and Elder Bolos had a really awesome lesson with Sharise. So I was happy. Other than that, no one was home. Paul got pizza for us and the sisters and we ate and had a mini correlation. We went out again and tried to see Sharon Stuckey, she was gone at a friends house cause her power was out. We tried to see Kim and Randy and another lady Elder Roberts met, but none were home. Paul got us shakes on another Sonic run and then we came home.<br />
<br />
Sunday was good! I woke up super sick but it’s okay cause Sharise came to church! She loved it! She said it was a lot to take in, but other than that, she loved it! We had correlation and then ate at Sister Bernal’s with Paul. It was amazin! I love that family, but it was supper weird without Christian...but he’s on to bigger and better things in Mexico! Paul took us back to the apartment after that cause I had to make sure I got all of my boxes ready to send home and so I could get some rest. We called a bunch of people to set up appointments, but to no avail. The power is still out in a lot of areas. The sisters and Hermana’s got to sleep at President Jones’s house cause their A/C went out. Lucky.<br />

Our goal is to find at least one person to prepare them for baptism and to build up a good teachin pool. Right now, teaching pool is better, but we still gotta find more people. All shall be well in Zion! We’re ending with a bang and are finding more than ever. If y’all have ever taken anything away from my emails, I hope it was that we are trying our hardest. We can’t quit cause Our Savior didn’t quit on us. When it got hard and his closest friends either betrayed or left him, he still carried on and he still<br />
gave literally all he had. I’m just asked to knock doors in hot weather. Ain’t nothing. I love y’all so much! Have a great week and carry on!<br />

leaders!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We played cards, got pizza and hung out.<o:p></o:p></div>

Tuesday was full of finding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We knocked doors and found a guy named Randy
who let us in and we taught the restoration!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That t was great! No one else was having it though. Jabari wasn’t home and so I went home to do
MyPlan but it wouldn’t work so I was sitting there yelling at my phone for 30
minutes. Yup, inanimate objects got the
best of me that night. We went to the
Warner’s for dinner and it was wonderful! We had a little plan of salvation lesson and I loved
it! The Warner’s are great!</div>

appointments and they weren’t there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was hot so it sucked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We studied with
Christian and Peter and then went out with Christian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw the other Cedric but he said he was
moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just set a return appointment
to get his details on Saturday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
attempted MyPlan again...which worked on the computer, but it sucked cause I
didn’t finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to dinner with
the Dixon’s and then to Book of Mormon class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had a small correlation and got a list of people to visit.<o:p></o:p></div>

Thursday we had a Really good zone Conference and it
really hit me that it was my last one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we sang How firm a foundation, during the 7th verse, I just couldn’t
hold it in and I cried like a baby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was so hard to realize it was my last.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
gave a departing testimony and that made it real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love my mission so much.<o:p></o:p></div>

referral and some investigators but no one was home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We came home and built a bike for Sister
Marshall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me tell ya, when I have
kids, they’re getting motor bikes cause them things is a pain in the booty to
put together!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cut myself like 5 time
and almost stripped a bolt with pliers cause we didn’t have a wrench.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yeah, fun time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sister Worthington made a dinner for all of
the Zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally finished MyPlan as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
Saturday again we went out with Paul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was actually really good cause we visited
a ton of people, but sadly the less actives we visited didn’t answer or didn’t
want us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a glimmer, though.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
A less active talked to us and said she’s only inactive
due to her son who has Down syndrome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’re passing her off to the relief society cause she was awesome and
needs ministering sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw, Kim, a
lady Elder Roberts and Bolos found on a blitz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We taught the
restoration and she loved it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
according to Elder Roberts, Genesis and Exodus were prophets haha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the kid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul and I looked at each other and
chuckled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kim didn’t catch it but it was
so funny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to see Randy but he
wasn’t home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul took us home and we
went with a member from Pinnacle Mountain to get a washer for Sister
Worthington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had dinner with Sister
Glazier at Taziki’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a
Mediterranean place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul picked us up and we got shakes and saw
Cedric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out he isn’t moving next
week like he said, and he said he might come to church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it wasn’t too bad!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went for a little drive and started a fast
with Elder Roberts and I.<o:p></o:p></div>

Sunday was great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had a great lesson 2nd hour and had to do some security for the
church cause some random guys came in and so we talked to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have had many break ins and sketchy things
happen, so we were security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out
they were with the spanish Branch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
went home and did weekly Planning and then went to Christians farewell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was great<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s a pretty crazy feeling if I’m being brutally honest. But anyway, Monday started off with us riding to Cedric’s house and he wasn’t home. That sucked. We had a zone p day where we played minute to win it games and my team got slaughtered. To be fair, there was a lot of cheating on the winning team, so I’ll take integrity over a cheap win any day. We went to the Jones's for dinner and it was great! They’re awesome! Sister Stuckey had to reschedule our appointment with her so we didn’t see her.<br />

That was the hardest thing I’ve done in a while. I about cried when I had to watch Elder Barron and Elder Parks leave. I was also super upset watching Elder Paopao leave cause we have had plans for my last district meeting for almost a year now. We had a ceremony and everything, now he’s in Mississippi. We drove home and did studies and then went to basketball. I still suck. Oh and I started MyPlan, which to be short is the trunky course for dying missionaries to readjust to life back home.<br />

The United States of America. We started off the day with helping a lady in our apartment complex move. It was freaking hot, but worth it! We were there until about 1 and gave her a Book of Mormon and she wants to come to church! Sadly it’ll have to be in the Pinnacle Mountain area, but hey, planting seeds am I right? We came back and showered and did our studies before Brother Bailey picked us up for a huge party at the Henderson's. It was good, wasn’t as big as they made it out to be though. But we were able to talk to a bunch of non-members and I let Elder Roberts wear my American flag tie as I wore my constitution. Lots of compliments ensued. We had to leave to help Mrs. Jasper (lady we helped move) unload at her place, but apparently they already unpacked. She wanted us to bless the house the next day, so we passed her on to Pinnacle. Paul took us to clean his car and then get shakes at Sonic. Y’all wanna hear something strange? We went to a sit down Sonic. It was like a restaurant but there was a phone on the table that you ordered on. That rocked my world something fierce right there!! We started back to watch the fireworks but then a house exploded in front of us from “fireworks” (were convinced it was a meth lab). But that fire was HUGE! We saw the flames over the trees on the highway. We missed fireworks, so we watched random people’s as we drove home.<br />

I feel horrible because now, missionary work is going out and literally all of our appointments falling through! No one answered and it kinda really sucked and upset us, but there is nothing we can do about other peoples’ agency. One lady told us off pretty bad. Nothing new. Brother Webster came and picked us up with his son (he is special needs and in a wheel chair) so we could visit Brother Bellerose. He is a vet who lost his legs. He is super awesome though. We visited and taught him the restoration cause he wants to remember more. He told us stories of his service and this man had some serious guts. Great man and I respect him so much. We went to the Loken’s for dinner and set up a time for us to walk with them and meet their neighbors!<br />

He was nice and told us he needs us to visit his son (Hot Springs Elders are already teaching his son) and wanted us to pray with him as well. Super nice guy. We came back and weekly planned until Paul picked us up to visit some people and clean the church.<br />

We went out on a blitz with Paul, Benton Zone leaders and Otter Creek sisters. We found about 5 people with interest and it was a SUPER nice day. Although, when we pulled up to park, it was in front of a lady at her house. She was like yelling at the sisters car cause we pulled away. Then this chick pulls out a switch lol! We drove off and found somewhere else haha. Then we went out with Christian and again...NO ONE ANSWERED. What a life haha.<br />
After that we had a goodbye party for the Hess’s (the mission nurse and wife) and I about cried. It was a surprise and they were so shocked haha. I’ll miss them so bad.<br />

I slept it off for a sec before church. It was a good church service though! We went out with Christian again and again no one answered. Well, a girl we found named Tierra was home, but she had to reschedule. Funny story on that, she answered the door in what we thought was lingerie....she’s a heavy set girl and her swim suit was a little too small...so yeah...awkward haha. But we ate with Sister Bernal and it was STELLAR! We had steak and chicken and mashed taters!! Afterwards we tried Markus but he wasn’t home...sadly even though he said he would be home.<br />

<br />So as you can read from the subject, it’s been a week. But what can I say, it’s tough!<br />
<br />
Monday we went to Carissa’s and when we got there, she came outside and said “the Mexican doesn’t want to do the Mormon.” So of course I chuckled at the grammar, thanks mom. We then went to the Warner’s for dinner and had a great time!<br />

Tuesday we had district meeting. We did a three legged race for companionship unity and your boy won. I exchanged with Elder Brownell. I love that kid. We went tracting as we waited for the Tooks to get home. We found a girl named Sierra so that was great! We accidentally started a fight between 2 women (that’s a long story, I’ll tell y’all when I’m home. Ask me about it.) and heard the fight at the opposite end of the apartment complex...let me put it this way, we were at least 200 to 300 yards away from them, with buildings separating us, and we still heard the swearing and yelling LMAO!! We had dinner at the Henderson's and gave Sister Henderson a blessing. We played basketball and I balled out again, and then they put a dude comparable to Dwayne Johnson with the skill of MJ on me and I didn’t touch the ball haha.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we went out tracting again and a dude named Cedric pulled us over and we talked and he wants us to come over and teach him. We had Book of Mormon class and exchanged back.<br />

Thursday we went to help Sister Worthington at this homeschool book sale. They totally didn’t want Mormons there, but we were the only ones who accepted to volunteer. I was able to get 12 other missionaries to come help and it was a huge success! We played bouncer and security to make sure no one stole anything and we helped set up and take down. A couple elders were approached and told the church ain’t true but other than that, there was no altercations! I got a a forensic science book and it’s pretty dope. Oh, I slipped and fell and tore up my hand before this started and had to perform mini surgery in getting the rocks out of my hand. That sucked.<br />
<br />
Friday was weekly Planning. We then had interviews with president and then went back to weekly Planning and sent off like 100 people to another area as we cleaned out our area Book. We tried to see a few people and NO ONE ANSWERED THE DOOR. Let me tell ya does that get old.<br />
<br />
Saturday we mowed Sister Stuckey's yard and then moved a desk for another member. We went out contacting and tracting and again. NO ONE ANSWERED THE DOOR. Like, y’all, get the net! We out here in the blazing heat tryna bring y’all to Christ. It’s okay though. I ain’t even mad. Although, this week has had like 4 days where it was over 100 degrees with high humidity (a couple days were low though) and we were biking and walking and santa vaca (holy cow in Spanish) it was rough. But hey, I’m alive.<br />

Sunday was a good day...church wise. We had a great second hour and a couple non members were there. President Jones from the mission presidency acted out an amazing visual on the war in heaven and how both sides tried to get us to come over. It was AMAZING. I learned so much! After church we went and had pupusa’s at Sister Bernal’s! It was fantastic. Pupusa’s are my favorite Latino food by far! We went contacting again and Cedric set an appointment with us for this morning, but sadly he didn’t answer the door...so that was upsetting. We then saw Sierra and gave a brief restoration and gave her a Pamphlet. She is super excited to meet with us on Thursday! Paul took us out for a drive to tell us about his experience at the temple! He took out his endowments and he was SO excited!! It was awesome! I loved hearing his testimony and the excitement in his voice was amazing. I do, though, ask for prayers cause the area is really struggling and the work is slow. We’re working but we need some extra faith. Thanks y’all! I love y’all!<br />

Tuesday was tough. So my poison oak (I know it keeps changing but I swear it’s poison oak) was absolutely killing me. We went out with Brother Loken and fixed Sister Stuckey’s door. We just took out old screws, readjusted and drilled in new ones. We then went to the Worthington's and cleared their porch of old, rotted wood. Brother Loken fed us lunch and then we got dressed to help the spanish guys move BACK to their old apartment. Well, the office Elders were 3 hours late and so we left and went to dinner at the Jones’s. It was great! We told them we had a lesson at the church and they told us previous missionaries never had lessons after dinners so they were super glad to hear we “actually do mission work” haha. Great confidence booster! We met Sister Stuckey at the church, but she was doing family history with other members and so we left it at that and let her finish! She loved it! I should probably do more family history. We played basketball and I must have been wearing shoes signed by MJ or had a drink of Mikes secret stuff, cause I went OFF.<br />
Good day!<br />

Wednesday we helped Brother Buchanan clean out his garage. That was a task! About 2 hours into it, my chest, legs and arms were flaring up and itching like crazy. So what do I do? That’s correct, I scrubbed myself with apple cider vinegar for an hour or 2. Brother Buchanan understood and so I went to the bathroom and had me a stinky shower in the vinegar. Well, aside from pulling the ace bandage from my scabbed body after my St. George incident where I hit a wall my junior year spring break, it was probably one of the worst pains I have felt. It burned like someone was pouring acid on me. Elder Roberts knocked on the door asking if I was okay. Probably cause of all of my grunts haha. But it helps a TON. Brother Buchanan fed us and we came home. We didn’t go out cause my body was just so taken out. Also, shout out to Halli for sending me that mud stuff. Helped with the healing process. Also, my pants I ordered from Under Armour on Monday came and they’re fabulous.<br />
<br />
Thursday we had district meeting and went to lunch at Chick-fil-A. I’ll say it again, I was craving Wendy’s. We went home and put more of the mud on and then went to see a bunch of people and tried to contact but no one was home or having it. Sister Anderson from Searcy called us to have us give a blessing to an investigators dad at our hospital, but when we called, she answered and we told her who we were and she hung up...so hopefully the sisters can keep with her? We picked up Spanish and went to do service for a Spanish member. We left pretty early for dinner with Paul and to see some people. No one home. Then Brother Loken came and got us and we pulled up to a less actives who came to church on Sunday and...the house looked like someone not only broke in, but the people living there made a quick escape. We don’t know what happened but no one was home and windows were broke. We went to ask the members who are their neighbors what happened and they didn’t have any information. Spanish called us over for a bit and so we hung out until it was time to goin. Elder Brinkerhoff is a total stud. Love the kid.<br />

Friday I didn’t get any sleep and my body was flaring up BAD again. Like I could barely have the covers on me my body was so dead. I took a bunch of oat meal baths and the Spanish Elders brought me some calamine. It worked for a couple hours so we could plan, but then it hit me HARD after that. So I was out of commission again. While we could do something though, we tried to get our own referrals from the Facebook yard sells. We put up the Bible’s and said they were free and we literally only got 2 responses for 2 people out of our area...one was out of the state. So that was a bust. We went out later that night to try to go contacting, but no luck was found. I did make Elder Pickering a package and I’ll send that off today.<br />
<br />
Saturday I got no sleep again cause our freaking weather alarm went off between once and twice an hour and I had to get up to turn it off. In the morning we went out with Paul and contacted what felt like our whole area Book. The only real successes was finding a potential and a lesson with Sister Stuckey. We’re seeing Karissa, the potential, today! Hopefully it goes well cause she showed a lot of interest! We gave her a Book of Mormon and pamphlets! But an upside, I wasn’t too itchy!<br />

Sunday was a great day at church! Well, minus a couple things. A less active finally came and then someone made a remark towards her kids and she told us she didn’t want to be a member anymore. That was hard but we got an appointment with them tomorrow to sort things out. Hopefully we can help her in any way. Please y’all, watch what you say and be compassionate to others. You never know what internal battle they’re going through. Sister Bernal fed us after we had correlation and it was AWESOME! She told me she needs to interview the girl I plan on marrying so she knows if she’s right. Apparently, she’s never wrong...so I got to be careful! We came home and I packed up some boxes to send home. It was a good day!<br />
<br />
It’s getting close to the end! It’s scary to say I’ll be home in 7 weeks. Time flies way too fast on a mission and this past transfer has just flew by. I have no idea where the Time went! I love my companion to death and I pray he is my last companion! I love y’all!<br />
Peace!<br />

So y’all may be wondering about my subject. Well, believe it or not they all have someone in common. I had all of them in a bath! I’ll explain later.<br />
<br />
Monday was pretty darn awesome! We went to the trampoline park and had a great time. I, of course, cut my finger open on the obstacle course. We then went to the church and played chair soccer and had a water balloon fight! Holy cow was I having a hoot and holler! I ain’t never had a better p-day! We then went to a members house with the bishops family and had a little restoration. His wife is from Korea and she made us Korean food! I gotta say, her kimchi was better than the one I tasted before. I still didn’t really enjoy it, but I didn’t hate it! We played pool and talked to Orianna about Arizona.<br />

Tuesday sucked. We walked 5 miles in the 100 degree weather in 80% humidity. No one answered or was interested. So it wasn’t horribly long, just Hot! I got a couple blisters on my feet. Paul came and picked us up and we came back to the apartment. I can’t remember what we did after that, but I did start to realize I was itching super bad and so I poured gold bond on my body and went to bed.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we had a lesson with a guy named Brad! He is super cool and was like “I just might become a Mormon!” It’s just tough with him cause he hates denominations and we don’t think we stressed as best as we could the fact that we are Christ’s church again restored the earth. But he’s super awesome and said he want to come to church! We walked to Jabari’s and he wasn’t home. We went home and contacted a bunch of referrals and other people over the phone and Facebook. Not much success came from it sadly though. We had dinner and went to Book of Mormon class. We had a correlation afterwards that took FOREVER.<br />
<br />
Thursday we totally forgot about district meeting and were reminded about it about 30 minutes before haha. So we went to that and had ice cream and then went to lunch with the zone leaders. You know, the more I eat Chick-fail-A, the more I crave Wendy’s hahaha. I’m just not a fan of it. But we came back and weekly planned for a bit. The Spanish Elders took us to Walmart so we could get a money order to get a new key. Paul took us to dinner and it was great.<br />

Friday we went to do service for Healing Waters church and it was crazy! It was so hot outside. We dug up dirt and weeds and hauled it off to dump for 4 or so hours. The lady, Mrs. Caroline was a sweet heart! While we did all the work, there is a prison program that does service every Friday there and we talked to the guy with us and he is awesome. His name is Martin name we gave him a Book of Mormon and pamphlets! He’s super sweet and gets out in September so we are going to go and talk with him on Fridays while we do service! <br />
<br />
So, I realized I was dying of itching and the rash thing was spreading all over my body, so after service I showered and was really hurting from the rash and I just laid down and Elder Roberts went with Elder Brinkerhoff to go to some appointments. I finally called the mission nurse and he things it’s poison ivy! I don’t know when or how, but I guess I got it. So this is where the subject comes in. I was told to bathe in baking soda. Well, I haven’t taken a bath in who knows how long, so I thought to spice it up, I would eat some Cheerios mixed with my favorite cereal, Bear Naked (cause it was funny), while in the bath! It was great! I still am not really a fan of baths, but it felt good!<br />

Saturday Paul took us out and no one answered or was interested again. We even got told it was a “shame” for young people like us, with so much zeal, to be on the “enemies” side and that the kingdom of God could use us. So of course I say “I didn’t know we were enemies?” He told us we should not waste our time with him cause he didn’t wanna hurt our feelings or be mean. So we thanked him for being honest and left...laughing. I think he heard us. Oh well. Great time! We got home and I took another bath and took some Benadryl and I about died. I have been waking up about 3 or so times a night to baptize myself in gold bond powder. It seems to be the only thing that helps me.<br />
<br />
Sunday was great. We had a wonderful sabbath and went to visit some people with Christian Morales...well I feel horrible cause every time we take him out no one answers the door or doesn't wanna hear it haha! This one house we went to we asked the kid out side if the guy was home. He went in and came out and said he will be out in a second. Well we waited for a couple minutes and a girl came to the door and said he wasn’t home haha. So we ain’t going back there. We had dinner with Sister Bernal and it was AWESOME! She’s such a sweetheart. Paul then took us out to give a less active a blessing and it was great! She said she felt the effects immediately!<br />
<br />
Y’all, I’m starting to feel the trials of Job coming upon me, but that’s okay cause no one will ever understand my absolute, dying love for the savior. I’m not perfect, I suck at being a missionary sometimes, but that’s okay cause whatever I lack, God will make up. I love y’all!<br />

Howdy y’all!<br />
<br />
Tuesday we actually set up an appointment an had to drive out of our area to teach him. His name is Edward and he is so cool! We taught a super great restoration and he ate it up! We had it at a park and afterward, he set up a return appointment and we told him we would get in contact with the Elders in the area. Turns out, the Elders are Elders Sammons and Dawson! Afterwards, we drove home and had studies and Ethan Henderson took us out to teach and lunch. No one was home...but we had great conversation. So apparently, Elders in Idaho are...subpar haha. But hey, no judgement, I know the ALRM is the best in the world, it’s hard to compare. We tried some people but no one answered. We then went with Paul to the bishops house, the Warner’s, for their daughters mission call opening! She’s going to Gilbert, Arizona! Just as dope as can be!<br />

Wednesday we found a new investigator named Jabari. He has been meeting with missionaries, or just talking, for 7 or so years. We believe Satan knows he is ready cause every time he tried to go to church, something happened, like his tire would pop, or he’s got a random call to work. He asked us one question, that was where in the Bible does it talk about the Book of Mormon? Well, there’s a few (Isaiah 29, Ezekiel 37, John 10:16, Psalms 85:11-13). We also told him about ether when he brought up the Tower of Babel (long story). It went super great and he was thinking! We then taught some dudes who was not exactly in the right mind due to some recreational activities prior to our visit. We tricked a few other people. We then had a super great lesson on keepin the sabbath day holy with a less active family named the Took’s! We set up the appointment the day prior, but Sister Tooks was gonna just tell us to go away, but something told her not to. She was so upbeat and happy by the time we left! It was great! We’re tying to get them active so the son, Treshawn, can go on a mission. We had Book of Mormon class and dinner afterwards.<br />
<br />
Thursday I had some BOMB studies. We went to the food pantry and then studied and went to the store for some things. We went to the Warner’s for dinner and talked about Gilbert and Sister Warner gave us a referral for a lady who speaks Korean! So today I’m gonna get a hold of Renee and see if he can Skype in for lessons! I asked President if dad could Skype in, but he said that was too close to home.<br />

Elder Perkins from the 70 came to tour the mission and he came with Elder Johnson, an area 70. They’re super awesome and powerful!<br />
<br />
Saturday we went again to the food pantry with the North Little Rock ward. It was pretty awesome! A sister took all the missionaries there out to lunch at a Chinese buffet. Wasn’t great...but hey, it was a kind gesture! Then we had to give a Sister a blessing and while at the church, we talked to Brother Oistad for a bit bout his mission. He had some pretty awesome stories! We got a hold of Markus finally. He is out of town for the month so we are going to call him weekly. We told him about the Book of Mormon app and he downloaded it so we hope he reads everyday like we invited him to. We also got a hold of Kimberly and set up an appointment for Sunday. We had dinner and went to stake conference. It was great!<br />
<br />
Sunday was conference and it was great! That lady Sister Warner gave us to teach came! She is so nice and we have an appointment for tonight! I was able to see a ton of people from Glenwood and Hot Springs! Paula Braxton’s husband, Kelly, gave a WONDERFUL talk! Also, Christian Morales was a stud and in his talk told the stake to feed missionaries haha. Talk about magnifying your calling. We went out with Paul and saw a guy named Cedric. We stressed the importance of reading the Book of Mormon and prayer and we hope he understood. No one else answered. Not even Kimberly. We came home and studied and went to dinner with Sister Bernal and her kids, Christian and Ruby Morales. Christian is the kid going to Tempe. It was a wonderful dinner and Sister Bernal asked me to visit Christian and I agreed, so it looks like I’m taking a trip to Arizona!<br />

So funny stories I forgot to put in last weeks letter, I got athletes foot and it sucked for a couple days, but I have it under control now. Also, we didn’t have AC for 3 days. It’s fixed now, but holy cow there was a night where I legit got 15 minutes of sleep total! Prayers for any missionaries so,where without it cause it was 90 degrees in the apartment at one point. Also, this week for another curse added to Elder Adair, I have some heat rashes and I ITCH! I’ll send a pic Elder Roberts took of me baptizing myself in gold bond so I don’t rip my skin off. So yeah, the mission is going great! What a final stretch! I hope y’all are more comfortable than I am and are having a stellar week!<br />

Monday Lukas got baptized! That was fun to be a part of!<br />
<br />
Tuesday we had district meeting and then we helped Sister Jones unpack the truck at her new house! It was so hot. We had a ton of missionaries there though so it wasn’t too bad. Although getting the elliptical up the stairs about killed us. It didn’t fit into the hallway so we just dragged it into a room. My shoulder is still nice and tender. She got us pizza and we ate and then got a call that we had to be at the church because a sister was there alone in the family history center and needed priesthood. So we went and the ZL’s did the zone leader thing where they put in key indicators and then had to make some calls. We got back home and then went to basketball. Elder Paupau and I exchanged.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we drove to the store and got Hermana Orr a cake cause it was her birthday and then we brought it to Spanish’s district meeting.<br />
We had a surprise party and left for studies. We went to visit a referral named Kimberly and she was great! We had a great first lesson and she took the Book of Mormon quicker than a cat runs from a rocking chair (Dad edit: I swear if he talks like this when he gets home I am staging an intervention!). We also finally got in contact with a potential named Jabari. He’s super nice and we set a return appointment for tomorrow! We got back to the apartment cause it was hotter than Lucifer’s lair outside. We ate and then drove to Book of Mormon class. We exchanged back and had a correlation with Brother Bailey.<br />

Thursday was good. Christian came to the church with us to teach Brad, but he never showed up. We had to fix Hermana Orr’s bike as well. It was us and the Spanish District and the sisters. So we got the pod all done pretty quick and then came home to get ready for dinner with the Longneckers. It was a great dinner and they have a sister who lives in Layton! Off of Gentile. Crazy! We then tried Marcus but he wasn’t home.<br />
<br />
Friday was rough and tough. We went to help finish the move with Sister Jones, but there was a catch, it was just the Sisters, the Hermana’s and us. We had to go to the old house to move the washer, dryer, and a HUGE fridge. Like, a $10,000 Viking fridge. There was also some smaller stuff, but they had a trailer for us to put it all on. Let me start by saying my back is shot from the awkwardness of these things. We took off every door the washer and dryer went through and had to lug them up and down steps haha. Them things was not light (Dad edit: someone please help me...grammar police, I am calling 911!). There was a couple close calls and I got my finger sliced open by a chair on Tuesday so It was super sore. It’s crazy how much you need your middle finger when lifting things. It ain’t just for road rage! But we got everything all sorted out and the move was DONE! We were so sweaty and hot and tired, but it’s done. She got us Wendy’s and I’ve never eaten a baconator meal so fast in my life haha. We went home showered and slept.<br />

Saturday we went out with Paul and boy did we get work done. We got appointments with like 8 people this week and met a couple really cool people. We met a woman named Sparkle. We ain’t sure if that’s her street name or government name...but she was super nice! We went back later that evening cause she said it would be better and started with the restoration, but didn’t really start haha. Right as we started to teach, something happened with their family and we left. But it was a great day!<br />
<br />
Sunday we had a great church meeting. We tried to see Sparkle but they were busy so we gave them our card to call us. Kimberly wasn’t home and neither was Emel...so we broke our fast with Paul and finished the night.<br />
<br />
So it’s been a hectic week and I’m ready for P-day haha. I’m tired, sore and ready for a nap. I hope y’all week went splendidly and I love all of y’all!<br />

Howdy y'all!<br />
<br />
Monday we went to the trampoline park and I goofed up my knee (it’s all ok now) and we also played volleyball. Then we had a lesson with the Logue’s and it was interesting.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was transfers so we went to north Little Rock and picked up our new comps and drove home. I love Elder Roberts! We stayed for a bit to help unload the trailer. I got to see the lovely Elder Pickering so that was rad. We got back and played basketball with Benton Elders and members. I did alright, not too shabby. I only missed 80% of my shots instead of 90. <br />
<br />
Wednesday we got a hold of a couple referrals and then helped the north spanish Elders move into south’s apartment. Yes, there is 4 Elders in one apartment that is 50 yards away from us. We’ll try to keep the trust God has for us haha. But at first, we were drenched in sweat from the sun and heat, then 30 minutes later as we were sweeping the apartment, thunder started roaring and a torrential down pour broke through the heavens. We got drenched as we moved the last things out. I was quite literally, as Zac Brown Band put it, knee deep in the water somewhere. I was wet....everywhere. We drove back home and hurried and got changed and went to the church for Lukas’s baptismal interview. He passed! <br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Always good to </span>Thursday we had a TON of service. We were running around cause we helped pull weeds for a member here in Otter Creek, then ran to help move logs and do yard work for a member in the spanish branch. My shoulder was shot cause we lugged the logs on our shoulders. Let me tell ya, them things were more dense than a southern Baptist trying to explain the trinity to us. Afterward, we helped Sister Jones move for about an hour. We then had to leave cause we went teaching with Christian (the kid going to Tempe on his mission). No one answered, but a lady saw us and said “oh no, are y’all out with those books again?!” Naturally I exclaimed pretty happily, “OF COURSE!” She basically ran inside...Paul took us out for dinner later that night.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Friday we went out with Brother Devoux. Yes, he is the son of Brother Devoux in Hot Springs. He is super dope. We saw Sean, he told us to come back later so we we left and met a guy the sisters referred to us named Brad Bibb. He’s really cool. He’s from Memphis and He about fell after I said I served around Orangemound. He Asked if I had been shot yet so that was great. Then we got David’s burgers and weekly planned. We walked and tried to see a few people but no one was home. <br />
<br />
Saturday was a hoot. We got to help Sister Jones move again. My poor shoulder was once again taken out. I had to carry a freaking olyptical on my shoulder as we walked down stairs. We stuffed the moving truck and it was great. It was also VERY hot. As we were packing the truck, a couple Jehovah witnesses came and started talking to the sisters. It was super funny cause once they saw the tags, they were gone like the wind and ain’t nobody coming back again. Oh, and Christian, a member, dropped and oven and the oven cut his artery on his arm so blood went every where. Elder Short had to undo Christians belt and make a tourniquet while blood sprayed. I had to go inside and tell everyone to stay inside. We went home and showered, ate and studied then tried to see Marcus but he wasn’t home. Also, Sister Jones gave us a crap ton of food.<br />
<br />
Sunday we had a good time at church, although no one came...we came home and studied and the Bouchka’s fed us again. They’re dope. Their kids wanted us to stay for s’mores, so we had s’mores as well as they burned their school papers haha. Brother Bouchka took us to try Marcus again hoping that he was going to be home. He wasn’t. We walked home and were so beat. <br />
<br />
Today was pretty great! Lukas was baptized and confirmed! We were on the phone from 7:12 to 9:30 no joke, non stop, trying to get all things situated perfectly and trying to gather another army of missionaries to help tomorrow to unpack the Jones. So it should be a fun couple of days! Also, I kinda understood a blessing I got back in November of 2016. So, obviously all of y’all know I ain’t right in the nervous system. Well, I was given a blessing by President Faulkner that said I would be calm and healed of my body twitching. So, as I stood in the confirmation circle today with Lukas, I realized I wasn’t twitching. My body would literally not let me twitch. I even tried (yes I know it’s weird, I was testing the waters). So, I have come to the conclusion, God allows me peace and calm when He needs me. In hindsight, I see every time I have given a blessing or am using my priesthood, my body is calm. It’s so cool to see God use me as an instrument to help others from a blessing given to me to help me. The scriptures stand true, “when you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God.” Don’t tell me God ain’t real. You’ll lose that argument real quick.<br />

And as a last thought, I hope we all remember the reason for Memorial Day. It is NOT national BBQ day, it is a day to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. For the 620,000+ men and women who never made it home since WWI, rest easy.<br />

<br />
Monday we got camping chairs and just chilled all day with pizza and drinks. It was great!<br />
<br />
Tuesday we went to the Arkansas food bank for most of the day.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we did service washing a guys car and then we went to dinner at Sister Grell’s again. We went to Book of Mormon class and had correlation.<br />
<br />
Thursday was district meeting. We all had a chance to write down how we were going to be 100% obedient and wrote down the things we were going to give up and then the Spanish district had a fire going outside in the fire pit so we burned the paper to show we were done with the disobedience. It was fantastic! We had a lesson with an investigator named Sean and it went so beautifully. We taught the restoration and he just soaked it up and said this is what he has been waiting for! He just understands! He came to church last Sunday and loved every bit of it! So hopefully he can progress! We then went and did service for a family who then set up another service project with us for another day this week! We then went to the Haws for dinner and had the awesome opportunity to teach a friend of their sons who is serving in the St. George mission! He Skyped in and they taught most of it. It was interesting cause they didn’t really use scriptures and weren’t exactly answering his questions. Great teachers, but it’s cool to see how different missions teach. I’m so glad I have learned my scriptures haha. Elder Robinson and I were flipping to scriptures to answer questions the whole time. It was such an awesome time though.<br />

Friday I woke up throwing up. The Lagomarsino’s took us to lunch but I couldn’t eat. The angel of Sister Lagomarsino got me some medicine and gatorades and it was amazing. I slept all day with the occasional episode of projectile vomit.<br />
<br />
Saturday we had service in the morning where we moved bricks and trash from a guys house he just built. It was fun cause he was super nice and talkative and accepting even though he is devout church of Christ. After that we got ready and went to Paul’s patriarchal blessing. It was super spiritual and Paul was able to give his first priesthood blessing as well! The patriarch gave the patriarchal blessing and then Paul gave him one cause he was sick haha. It was so awesome to watch him use his priesthood for the first time in a blessing! I’m also glad I had my oil cause no one else did haha. We came home and went out teaching with president Hansen! It’s was awesome cause we taught Markus and President was scripture after scripture and the spirit was so strong. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon every day and by doing so, his son will grow to have a life Markus wants to him to have. It was AWESOME!<br />
<br />
Sunday we had a good time at church and taught gospel principals. We said goodbyes the rest of the night for Elder Robinson.<br />
<br />
My new companion is Elder Roberts! He was trained by Elder Cowley and I love the kid! I’m stoked for this transfer!<br />

Monday we got to teach a lesson and boy was it scattered. It was to Ivan and his cousin Cedric. Basically, Christianity ain’t real white people are to blame for making it up and just a bunch of Hebrew Israelite ideology even though he said he left that religion long ago. But yeah, that was our conversation for 2 hours.<br />

Tuesday we went to the food bank for a few hours and got to label green beans...for the whole time. But it was fun! After that we got taken by Paul to Texas road house. And mom, for the record, I didn’t see dads ex girlfriend...BUT we did get talked to by some flirtatious hostesses. They asked about Mormonism and so we explained it and one left for a bit, but as soon as Elder Robinson pulled out the phone and got the ones Facebook, the other was right back hahaha. But it was great!<br />
<br />
Wednesday we had a lesson throughout the day with Tom and that was good. We taught the plan of salvation. We taught Book of Mormon class on covenants and it went good I think.<br />
<br />
Thursday we had district meeting and then interviews with President. My interview was fantastic! President is definitely inspired. We mowed a lady’s lawn and trimmed her hedges after that. That was an experience mainly because we didn’t have hedge clippers...so I used my pocket knife! It worked beautifully! I mean, my finger blistered up from pulling while cutting, but hey the hedges looked pretty! We went to dinner at Sister Grill’s and it was awesome! She made bbq pork tacos and some fish thing that we made tacos with and it was BOMB! I think it was Alaskan polyk? However you spell it. Nevertheless, it was spectacular.<br />

Friday Brother Buchanan brought us a ton of groceries! After that, he took us out and we saw a couple less actives and a couple other people! So it wasn’t good day! So it was cool cause we met a 2nd cousin of Elder Robinson. We talked and she made us cookies! They was good! After that we walked to Markus’s but he had to reschedule.<br />

Saturday we went out with Paul. No one answered the door and we even got yelled at by a lady, who said “y’all better not come up here!” Like, lady chill, we weren’t even looking for you! But she looked like our pretense completely ruined her day. We met and taught a couple named Emel and Kianna! They’re super dope! They were so receptive and the lesson went great! We are going to teach them on Saturday! Paul took us for dinner before we saw Markus. It went the same as Cedric’s lesson...so that was a bummer. Paul took us on a drive for spiritual upliftment and we saw the most gorgeous view!<br />
<br />
Sunday was fantastic! I had my very LAST Skype call home! That just sounds surreal to say. But then we had dinner at the Halls home. Their son is in St. George on his mission and gets home in July. The sisters had an investigator to church that we got to talk to and get to know and he is awesome. He told us how he grew up hearing bad things about Mormons (his mom told him before he came to church that we would lock the doors behind him and not let him out) and now he sees everything was false and said he felt the “spirit of the lord” here. So that was awesome! It was a good day!<br />

So, David has moved outside of the mission to the area right outside of Glenwood, so we won’t be teaching him anymore, sadly. But that’s okay, because we sent him to the missionaries there! They called us and said they didn’t know where he lived, so we told them to call him cause we don’t know either. But we’re doing better! No one super solid yet, but we’re working with a few. We definitely have more people than when i got here!<br />

Monday we went to a trampoline park and played kick ball. Pretty great day! I got decked in the face by a ball one of our zone leaders kicked and had a mark on my neck that looked like a hickey for a couple days. We also played ultimate frisbee. I felt the effects of summer coming along with the effects of dehydration, so I was WEAK!<br />

Tuesday we had district meeting and I exchanged with Elder Hall. So, he is the one that hit me with the ball and kicked 2 dingers on me in kickball, so in retaliation I made him walk 8 miles haha. We handed out all of my cards, got pulled over by a guy who said he'd be waiting for us and we never found him, taught a SUPER great lesson with Tom and searched for a couple hours for some formers. Pretty solid day! Also, I can't wear my maroon pants a anymore haha. Sad day, but hey, it's not like I'm gonna be lugging them around for 2 years (Elder Robinson). We played basketball and I still suck.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we walked and walked some more until we couldn't exactly walk no more. So Wednesday and Tuesday are kind of blended together in my head. We did the same thing, but with different people. We walked and knocked and handed out cards and no one was home...sadly. So we went to Book of Mormon class and exchanged back. We taught Lukas Gough right before that though. Lukas is a 9 year old who wants to be baptized and his parents are recently reactivated, so it's a forsure baptism on May 28. So that's great! His dad is a US marshal and holy cow what he does is freaking AWESOME! Oh and we got a car for every other week and that's HEAVEN! I miss those big metal things.<br />

Thursday we went to a lesson that the appointment flaked out on, so we made cookies to deliver to some gators and less actives. We visited a few less actives, no one answered and we got rained on. We saw David that night and he said he wants to push his baptism back due to a lot of stress right now. And it's totally valid cause he has more than a lot going on. But brother Adney had some great input and was a super good fellowshipper!<br />
<br />
Friday the zone leaders came over for weekly Planning and at the same time we had a restoration lesson with Tom over Facebook. It went super well again!! He is so prepared, he just needs to realize it. We went out with Paul to visit some of the less actives that our stake president wanted us to see and of course, only 2 answered the door all day. So that was a bummer. We saw David and talked to him about putting the Lord first and set another date for this weekend. So hopefully this one goes through. <br />
<br />
Saturday we had a great lesson with some new investigators who actually got a hold of us! Her name is Roseli and her son named Josh was there. She is from Brazil but speaks good English. It was a pretty awesome lesson! We went out with Paul and tried the rest of the ministering list. We found some pretty fun places. I'll send the pic of one. HOLY BIBLE JESUS! <br />

Sunday we taught Sunday school on the signs of the second coming. Wasn't super grand, but we got the point across. We had correlation afterwards cause we finally got new ward missionaries to come out with us. After that Paul, took us to see a member in the hospital. He then took us to his house cause his mom made us dinner. We went to see a couple of the list. Again, no one home. We saw Markus though! It was so scattered and he's pretty tough when it comes to Book of Mormon and stuff cause he "studies up" and all that. Still no testimony period. He said he doesn't have desire to come back to the fold and is expecting God to get him. Well it doesn't work like that. God won't help if we don't want it, it takes away agency, the whole part of this existence. He went off on the race card too, so it was kind of annoying. But we got an appointment on Friday with him and his brother. We're gonna teach the plan of salvation to him, so hopefully that will touch his heart cause he wants to know "why Jesus?" Golden question. <br />
<br />
All in all, it was a pretty good week. I got me some exercise and we got to teach some good lessons. Now we just need someone who wants to get wet haha. All in due time. Love y'all! Can't believe Mother's Day is already next week and I get to see my family one last time! <br />

Monday we had an awesome lesson with David! We taught the plan of salvation and the spirit was so strong! He told us how he knew the church is true and it was marvelous! He wrote down a word before church on Sunday and it was actually one of the topics spoke about in sacrament! So he knew then and there and he is going to be baptized on Saturday! Prayers are going to be much needed for him and us.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was a ton of finding. The Spanish elders, Elder Brinkerhoff (from Cedar City) and Elder Padilla, drove us with them and we went finding in those areas. We met a few awesome people! A guy named Ivan even called his cousin, who is a trucker, and had us talk to him and set an appointment with them! We found a weird, random trail and took some pics in it. You're welcome mom! We got in contact with an investigator who used to have a baptismal date but when he told us to come back, he couldn't meet...so we set another appointment on Saturday. We went to dinner with the Thaxtons at Larrys pizza. For some reason, Elder Robinson loves this pickle pizza thing. It's pickles with ranch as the sauce and cheese. I about threw up at the scent, but hey, to each his own haha.<br />

Wednesday we had a lesson with David on the Word of Wisdom and it was great! We had Book of mormon class and it was good! <br />
<br />
Thursday we had Zone Conference and it was a throw down! We basically had a Zone heart to heart on how we are going to better ourselves as a mission to be the most obedient mission in the world. Elder Parks had a SUPER powerful testimony on the need of love for one another. For the record, Elder Edwards and I called him being an AP in like October of 2016. It was super powerful though. We came home and went out with Paul and he took us for ice cream before it was time to go in.<br />
<br />
Friday we went out to lunch with the Spanish elders again at a members house. We had a drink that was literally Christmas in a cup. I'll try to explain it. It is made from purple corn (it's a Latino thing) and y'all know that smell when you open up all your Christmas decorations? Or I guess like the smell of hobby lobby or Michael's? Well it tasted like that! It was so good!!! She gave us some cause you can only get it in Mexico and she imports it haha. We then went out to with them to see RM Keller cause they didn't have time to drop us off at home. It was great even though everyone in there besides Elder Robinson, Sister Kellers mom and I spoke Spanish. They talked and set an appointment with a former. We then went to dinner with Sister Glazier and then went to an orientation for this fire alarm installing thing. It's a service project that the Red Cross is doing! It was great. Then I got super trunky cause they were playin some dang good music and made us burgers.<br />

Saturday we went out for the Arkansas Sound the Alarm with the Red Cross. We put in smoke alarms in houses and it was great! We got to ride in a fire engine like all day haha. We talked to a couple of them and one owns land and cows, so Elder Robinson and him talked a lot. I asked about firefighting as a career and they all love it and talked it up...so yeah I'm back in my predicament about my life, but it's whatever haha. When we got back, we went out with Paul and no one answered the door. We did though get in contact with Ivan and got all his contact info! So we're calling him soon to set up an appointment. Paul took us to eat to end off.<br />

Sunday was amazing! We had a great church experience and I got the chance to talk to a new ward missionary who just got back from college at BYUI. Well guess who this dude knows? The one and only Shane Hill haha. It was great to talk and get to know him. He is starting his mission papers. I got to see Paula!! That's always a wonderful experience! She brought the Hot Springs sisters. During dinner before the tribute, we went to eat dinner at the apartment where we got to watch a rad game of chess between Elders Robinson and Giles. Giles is easily one of the funniest human beings I have met. The devotional was pretty good! I missed a couple words in "The Living Christ" as I recited it, but in all it wasn't too bad! Thank goodness for the Spirit cause I ain't too good at memorization! Paul took us out afterwards and we had a feeling to go see David as we talked about missionary work (Paul is fillin in as ward mission leader). He is doing great! He was going to bed cause work kicked his butt, but he is excited still for Saturday! We just have to teach him a couple more lessons and he's all set! We're super excited for this week!! We just felt the spirit tell us that he is ready once all is taught. <br />

Tuesday we walked to a referral who wasn't home. We decided to try a dude in the neighborhood by him and met a security system salesman from Utah. That was funny. Definitely not Mormon, but nice guy. We walked home and talked to a good amount of people and had dinner at the Bushka's.<br />

Wednesday we tried to see Markus. He said he was on his way out and asked if we could come by on Friday. So we left to see Jabari but he wasn't home, so we walked to the church and got lunch and then Brother Logue picked us up and we went to visit Brother Bailey who was in the hospital. He was in surgery when we got there, so the entertainment while we waited was Brother Logue rippin into Elder Robinson about his maroon pants. We still have no regrets on buying them. We left the hospital cause we had a dinner and we went to the Smiths. They're awesome. We played with his 2 yr old son and built things with these magnet building stuff and his 1 yr old daughter would destroy it within seconds. It was adorable. We had Book of Mormon class after that.<br />

Thursday we had district meeting and exchanged. I went with Elder Paopao in Benton. It was awesome. We went park finding and talked to a guy who thinks preachers should preach about saving the environment and all is tree hugger stuff, it was great. But after that jazz, he told us there should be one church cause were was one Christ and Elder Paopao and I got excited! We explained the restoration a bit and asked if we could come to his home and get his number. Well he shot that down and gave us the usual excuse of "I never know when I'll be home." Well, that's why we asked for his number...but it's whatever. So we kept walking and we left to go to do service for a part member family. Well, as soon as we leave, of course that's when people decide to go to the park...but we did the service and cut down trees and vines and pulled out a few trees cause were men. In the midst of us trimming, pulling and cutting, we found a nest of 2 baby birds. We cut around them and try to keep that little tree up. Well....it turns out (the non member husband looked up if we could move the nest), if you mess with the surroundings at all around the nest, the mom will abandon it...and we messed with the surroundings. So, to repent, we took the pulled up trees and sticks and stood them up around the tree to look like a forest type of deal again. So hopefully those baby birds didn't die! We went to correlation afterwards and then got pizza. It's kinda tradition for Elder Paopao and I to get pizza.<br />

Friday we exchanged back and weekly planned and tried to see Markus again. He wasn't home...again. We went around finding to no avail and then Paul took us out and we ate and washed his car.<br />
<br />
Saturday we went out with Paul and his grandma fed us burgers. Super nice family. We saw Tom. He wasn't able to meet cause of work, but he asked for our facebooks so we can talk to him whenever! It's crazy how cool this technology works. Before we got Facebook, we maybe got asked for it like 6 times, but now that we have Facebook, I feel like we get asked every day for it! We saw Brenda after that and had a great plan of salvation lesson. We met her husband, Bernard, and he is super nice. Turns out, they're moving to Missouri in a month or so...so that sucks. But it's okay because they asked us to find the missionaries in that area haha. We saw David and boy do I love that man. He has a dog named max, who's a huge German Sheppard, and he is the biggest baby. If I am trunky for anything, it's Titus and a dog haha. We got to know him more and why he is investigating. He let us hold his guns and he let us hold a .50, and I won't lie, I think I peed myself a little. His .300 blackout was freaking awesome too. He also has a Remington 700 that made me pee a little more. So yeah, I had a great time. Paul took us out to eat at Larry's pizza and then on the way home, Elder Robinson made him laugh so hard he threw up...so that was funny.<br />

Sunday we had a good church service. David came! We went to the Adney's where they made breakfast! It was awesome. We then got taken to the Bishops where we had a meeting with a couple recent converts and David! We watched a conference talk called He will put you on his shoulders and carry you by Elder Uchtdorf in April 2016. I recommend y'all give it a listen!<br />

Howdy y'all!<br />
<br />
Well this one ain't going to be too long. This week we mainly got to know the area and saw some people. My new comp, Elder Robinson, is a stud. I would recommend him to any female. He's a cowboy from Idaho. He did rodeo and all that jazz in high school so I already love the kid.<br />
<br />
Monday we had a lesson with Sharon and it was awesome! We taught the restoration and it was so spirit filled! I was so upset that I was leavin cause she is getting baptized! (Cross your fingers)<br />
<br />
Tuesday we transferred. We drove around Little Rock waiting for the Spanish elders to get there. We drove to the apartment and ate dinner and I unpacked a bit before going to dinner with a member named Brother Thaxton. He's awesome! He used to live in Scottsdale so I like him even more. We played basketball with him and another member to end the night.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was whack. We did all of our shopping and I got a haircut. That's about all we did until we ate with a member named Paul and then went to Book of Mormon class. We taught it and it's super different than all of the other ones I have done. Hard to explain, but it was still great! Paul then took me on a tour of the area.<br />
<br />
Thursday was full of service! We went and helped Brother Tobler (in the bishopric) help move a friend. It was great! I love the guy and we had a lot of fun. We came back and the bishops wife asked us to accompany her in bringing food to a high school softball team. So we did that and THEN we went and helped another member get a hutch that he bought. We moved it and I guess we impressed the lady or something cause then she told us they are moving and asked if we could help them move! It was great! So we will do that sometime <br />
within the next few weeks. We unloaded the hutch (and a table with its chairs) at the members house and ate there.<br />
<br />
Friday we called a ton of people to set up times to meet with them. We went out walking and tried to contact some people and then walked to the church after no one answered. We got pizza and walked back to see a guy named Marcus. He has a background of Baptist but has gotten into believing in science, so he has some good questions haha. We just went for the throat and told him to pray and ask God if he is there and he will answer. We explained the first vision as well. He is so cool though! Brother Haws, who took us, played in the NFL and is really cool. He is also freaking huge.<br />
<br />
Saturday came and we went out with Paul. But before that we had to wait for the office elders to bring me a desk cause I was using a ghetto church table that was tiny. We went to help pick up at a swap meet at the church and got a dope tan corduroy coat. We went out with Paul and saw 16 people! 2 really stuck out, and that was Tom and Brenda. Tom has such an open mind and took a Book of Mormon and was all "I take no ones word, I study for myself" and when he said that I about fell off his porch! So we're seein him tomorrow! Brenda was a bible referral looking for Gods love. Well, we shared the restoration and she was in tears! It was so amazing! We had dinner and all that and it was a good day.<br />
<br />
Sunday I gave a talk in church on how the Book of Mormon is the key to conversion. I thought it went pretty well! We then drove to Conway to sing at the musical devotional. It was good! I had fun! I got to talk to Elder Dawson and Miller and Barney and Barron. It was grand! I love those guys! After it was over, I gave Elder Barron a blessing and it was awesome to feel the spirit work with me. We drove home and basically just went to bed.<br />

Monday we I got egged cause I lost a challenge of inviting people to church. I invited 10 when I said I would invite 14. But in my defense, I still invited more than I think everyone in the district! I now know that eggs also don't break as easy as I thought. Them suckers welted me up. We went mini golfing afterwards and it was great! I also forgot to mention, the Nasilai's last week fed us on Monday and it turns out, one of their sons served in the Century Gardens ward in Mesa!! How awesome is that?! We talked about the McGhans, the McKinnons and all them! It was awesome!<br />

Tuesday we had district meeting and Elder Asay came with me to Glenwood for exchanges. We just did service for Jimmie and holy cow. I ain't never seen so many ticks. We stepped on this one dirt pile, and I ain't lyin, ticks came out like ants. There was at least 15 ants on EACH of our boots. We ran up the hill (we were picking up trash for a hoarder) and brushed em off and then literally bathed until we were wet in bug spray. Thank my Father that worked. Ticks ain't nothin to mess with so that was scary. We had dinner at the Luttrell's to finish the night.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we exchanged back and did service at the CADC and saw Sister Hill. Good visit! We then went and did farm work at the Harris's. We picked weeds and tilled the ground of their garden and then went around picking up a ton of big ole sticks. It took a good 2 or 3 hours! I have never had so much fun doing service for someone! I also thought pretty highly of my self after I found a good sized log and broke it 3 times by throwing it down and stomping on it. No ax needed, like a man. I'll send pics. The Harris's fed us some of the best burgers I have had afterward. We went home and sat back cause we were sore haha. But so worth it.<br />

Thursday we went with Sister Hawthorn and saw Denise. She was busy and couldn't meet so Sister Hawthorn took us back and we changed and did service for her. We drove and got some chicks and then came back and butchered, gutted and fixed up her roosters. That was AWESOME! I mean, they stink pretty sore, but it was one of the coolest things! I also now know what it means when people say "run around like a chicken with its head cut off" cause we got one and holy moly. That thing must have jumped and flang itself 10 yards. It was awesome! She fed us some good biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon when we were done. I'm tellin ya, this week is full of mission high lights.<br />

Friday we weekly planned and went out with Sister Crow. We saw Sister Jacobs again and talked about the resurrection and the Celestial Kingdom. She asked Elder Miller if she could keep him again and I chuckled...a lot. We saw Sister O'Neal and I got a picture with her in case I get transferred. We talked and set up some service for when she moves. Also, Mom, when we go to Denver in November, we are visiting her. She lives just outside of Denver. Make a note. Sister Crow took us to a new Chinese Restaurant in Mt. Ida and it was pretty good! I've never ordered ribs for an appetizer before until then. They put some Chinese twist to it though and it was...different. But not horrible! We drove back to Glenwood and got in contact again with the Hearns. They actually set up a return appointment and we talked with Russ for a good 5 minutes! He has the most radical pony tail/mullet and I want it. We ended the night after that and took some rest.<br />

Saturday was good! And by good I mean it was a "Sweet is the work!" Day. We went out in the 35 degree weather with high humidity due to the prior storm (its thunderstorm season) and so it was tough. We saw Sister Lenz for a little while before she kicked us out so we could see others before it got too much colder. No one was home, sadly. We tried a good amount of people, but to no avail. We came back and ate some and studied before heading to the Robbins for dinner and a Skype call with the district and the zone leaders. It was a great call! Elder King is by far one of my favorite missionaries! It was a call on being an Ammon, not a Samson. I did a deep study on Samson and turns out, he is one of the most tragic stories in history. He loved the world more than his calling as a Nazarite (not Nazarene, nazarite is means full consecration to the Lord, he being the only one ever called a nazarite for life) and gave into his own desires and only defeating the Philistines when he either wanted revenge, or for personal reasons. He had God given strength and a calling to free Israel, but failed due to selfishness. Ammon on the other hand, was as consecrated as they come! If y'all read Alma 17-20, you'll understand why he is one of the best missionaries of all time! I also got transfer news.<br />

Sunday was a good day at church! I said good bye and packed everything up. Some of those goodbyes were hard! I never thought I would miss Glenwood so much! It started out so rocky and hard and ever since has been an uphill sprint, but I cant express how thankful I am to have served here! We had a break the fast lunch and then went home and packed. We went to the Robbins for milkshakes and goodbyes and then the Hawthorns. Sister Robbins got the milk bucket kicked over for tickling the cows utter hahaha! I don't think I've seen anyone so scared. Howard thought it was the funniest thing too. We took pictures and had a stellar time.<br />
<br />
Like I said, I'm leaving! My new area is Little Rock with Elder Robinson! He's a great guy and I like him a lot! It's also time for me to lose my beer gut as we're now in an all bike area! I can't wait! I might go home from here, so I'm excited to work it like there's no tomorrow! I love y'all! Thank y'all so much for the prayers and love y'all send my way!<br />

Monday we went to an alligator farm and played with gators and fed baby goats. And no mom, I did not steal one...yet.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we had district meeting and I went on an exchange with Elder Barney. We saw Jerry and had a pretty scattered lesson, but we got down to the point and explained church and sacrament and invited him to read the Book of Mormon every day and pray about it and Jospeh smith every day. He agreed as we left. We had dinner at the Luttrell's and had a stellar meal and spiritual thought on Gods love for us and Conference. Jimmie said he would pray about reading the Book of Mormon so that was cool.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we did service at the CADC after exchanging back. Sister Crow took us to Sister Jacobs. Funny moment: Sister Jacobs asked Elder Miller if she could have him. She is very fond of him. Very. We then had dinner at Sister O'Neal's. She had a tough week again but she said we uplifted her. She again told me to burn my journals cause I write the stories she tells us. Not happening! <br />

Thursday was great! We finally saw Denise again after about a month or so. She was in the moving process for a while (she's moved in) and was super busy. We gave her another Book of Mormon cause she lost hers packing. We invited her to Conference and she was happy to watch! Sister Hawthorn is doing great with contacting her. We saw a less active family who let us in and they were super fun! We had a good visit with Sister Hill. She was having trouble keeping her kids from disrupting, but she was able to feel the spirit and understand what we read. She asked us to teach David this week! We then saw a lady named Sharon who is VERY hard headed. Not gonna lie, very prideful when it comes to how much she thinks she knows the Bible. We just told her that we ain't here to sell out religion and if she wants to know, keep reading and keep praying and watch Conference, otherwise, the answer will never come. Humility is the key to heaven. We hopped on over to the Harris's for a sec and set up service and then ran over to another Sharon. She was super nice and told us we can teach her! We set up a time tomorrow to teach her the first lesson! She was excited when we brought up Conference and she was gonna try to watch it when all the Easter festivities were over. We taught about the Book of Mormon and gave her one. We had to speed over to dinner, as we were already super late, with the Barnett's. Good visit with them! We got home and we're able to rest from the day of speeding around.<br />

Friday we planned and then got a call to help a members non member daughter with some yard work. We moved a bunch of old, wet, gross clothes from a shed to a burn pile, along with other random things. Pretty great! She wasn't interested, but she and her mom fed us a little home cookin! We then got home and changed for dinner with our branch president. Going there, eating and coming back takes like 3 hours cause he lives so far out, so that was the end of that.<br />
<br />
Saturday we drove to Conway for an appointment for Elder Miller. We watched Conference at the Routt's. They're freaking hilarious! If I ever serve in Conway, they're my Go to. What an amazing opportunity I had to hear Elder Wakolo! I was so giddy! (He told us on Friday that he was speaking so I already knew). When he said the missions name, I squealed like a 10 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert. And when he said "Everyday, everyday, everyday" I about let loose some bodily fluids. And THEN, when he started off with "I rejoice with you in the gospel and doctrine of Christ" I quoted it with him and couldn't wipe the grin off my face. Never have I been more inspired by a man who I am not in debt to (Christ) or related to! I hope y'all know have a small glimpse of why I look up to this man so much! I can't wait to see him and hug him again! What a disciple!! A true, loving disciple of Jesus Christ. As we drove to Hot Springs for Priesthood session, I couldn't help but quote him! What a day to remember!<br />

Sunday was just as fantastic! Hearing of being a true disciple through pure love motivated me for better, harder work as I work towards the tail end of my wonderful mission. And then Elder Uchtdorf, BEHOLD THE MAN! How inspiring!! I cannot explain with enough joy grateful I am for a loving savior! It's been a rough transfer for us here in Glenwood, but how grate is my joy to be able to be on the Lord's errand! What better thing to do with my life could there be? I'll tell you what, absolutely nothing. As Alma says in Alma Chapter 26 (my favorite chapter) verse 16, "I cannot say the smallest part of which I feel." Oh how great the plan of our God! He is my God and your God. My Father and your Father. In the Book "The Count of Monte Cristo," there is a man who has been wronged and framed for a crime he did not do. He starts to plan out his revenge to a newfound friend, a wise and old man. This man tells the young man, "do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence, God said, vengeance is mine." This young man then tells him he doesn't believe in God. My favorite quote of this whole thing is then said, "it doesn't matter, he believes in you." Isn't that wonderful? God believes in each and every one of us, no matter how bad we falter and no matter how bad our faults. <br />
<br />
God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten, live. For He is risen. This I know and this I stand by. Forever and always, He reigns supreme.<br />

Howdy y'all!<br />
<br />
Been another week. Better in some aspects, but still a tough week. We're surviving though.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was a good district meeting. We exchanged and I went with Elder Asay. I went to Hot Springs and it was full of service. We helped move some furniture for a members parents. They aren't LDS, but they were very kind! The members I think were actually from Missouri! Super nice people! My wrist got tore up from a cabinet, but I'm alive. Next we went to rake leaves for the David's. Oh how I love the David's! I didn't have it on Tuesday, but Sister David makes the best cheesecake hands down. After raking, we went and visited Sister Gibbs. That was great. We helped exercise her dog so they would sleep and not bother Sister Gibbs at night. It was great to see her again! She looks so much happier and upbeat now that she's fully active!<br />

Wednesday we exchanged back and as I got out of the car, I recognized something about Elder Barney (who was with Elder Miller) but couldn't tell until I got closer. The dude was wearing my Donald Trump tie! And as we were about to leave, he gave me back one of my watches! So of course, I had to give him the good ole pat down to ensure he didn't thief anything else from me. Little ruffian. We did service at the CADC again. Sister Crow took us out and we saw Sister Hill and found out we might be able to start teaching her son. He is 8, so it's not a convert baptism, but she is a convert and he hasn't ever been to church, so hopefully this will help get her active again! We then drove to see Sister Jacobs, who is very fond of Elder Miller. After visiting with her, we went out to Sister O'Neal's. Boy is she a hoot. She told me she is going to take and burn all of my journals at include her cause I write down all of the funny stories she tell us. To be fair, she writes about us too, so I call it even. She wants us to come over for dinner on Wednesday and have Elder Miller talk only, cause he's "too quiet." It's a shame though because we are exchanging on Wednesday so I will be with Elder Barney....oh well, more pizza for us. While there, she was telling us of how much she loved having us over and told us (without knowing of past weeks) that we should know that if we don't baptize anyone or see success, that we can know thaws uplift her weekly and that we have a profound impact on "sweet old ladies like [her]." So that was a refreshing thing to hear with recent events. After we left her, we tried to see the Hearns, but they weren't home. We had ourselves some dinner and called it quits for the night.<br />

Thursday was tough. We painted the Luttrell's bedroom for a good few hours and had lunch at their place. After that we had to rush home and change to get to an appointment, at which, we found the Bible referral we had was a 17 or so year old girl alone with her 2 siblings (no older than 7). So needless to say, we gave them he Bible and we were quick to leave. Sadly, though, we failed to ask when her dad was home to see if we could teach them all. We'll probably go back next week to see how they like the Bible or something. After that, we left to the flea market to look for people to teach and a new journal because I have filled my 2 and need a new one. No one talked with us and we left empty handed with no journal or investigators. We met a guy on our home teaching list at McDonald's and talked with him for a good hour or so outside on the chairs. We got to know the guy more and he got to know us and he has some service for us to do at his place soon. It would have been a great visit, which is was, but there were some high school kids that were swearing up a storm and being super annoying right next to us. Frankly, I was more annoyed at the fact they were spending their spring break at a McDonald's in Glenwood. But we had a good visit and went home.<br />

Friday we weekly planned for FOREVER. But we planned out some great things for next week and we hope to have a lot more success. We went over what we need to do to find and teach because our teaching pool is non existent right now. So lots of walking next week. To rest our brains, we headed to Hot Springs for volleyball. We invited so many people, but no one from Glenwood came. So we played with the Nasili family and the Stevens and a few others. It was great to see my seconds family again. Oh how I missed them.<br />
<br />
Saturday we went out to contact a bunch of formers and potential to no avail. No was was home. Literally not one on a Saturday. We decided to do some finding in a trailer park we found. Well, literally every single trailer, and I mean literally every one, was a Latino family who couldn't speak a lick of English. I tried in my broken Spanglish to make something work, but nothing did. We went walking after going to the church for a bit and talked to a few people, but no one was interested. One of our potentials walked to the window, looked out and made eye contact, and walked away. So yeah, if I could sum up the day in one sentence, it would be that. Anyways, we ate dinner and called it a day.<br />

Sunday we had a good day at church. Fran was baptized and confirmed. We couldn't go due to time of baptism, but it happened. We taught 3rd hour to the young men, and by that I mean the nonmember boyfriend of our branch presidents daughter. He's a cool kid. Has a Book of Mormon and agrees with just about everything we taught, which was the Atonement. It was pretty great. We're hoping to see him again and ask if he wants to be taught. We went to the Robbins, came home, studied and took a walk cause we were kinda moping in self pity, but all is well. It started to thunderstorm. So we went back home and ate dinner.<br />
<br />
So, in response to this past week and the trials that we had, I have just one scripture to share.<br />
<br />
Philippians 3:13-14<br />
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,<br />
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.<br />

Yeah the week sucked, but no sense dwelling in it. I mean, Luke 17:32, remember Lot's wife, she looked back and became a pillar of salt. No thanks. All is well here. Success in the pending future awaits me.<br />

Howdy y'all!<br />
<br />
I'll just start off by saying this was a very trying week. Probably the most trying of my mission. I'm doing better, but it was a tough one.<br />
<br />
Monday we stayed in Glenwood and went everywhere in 2 hours and I napped the rest of the day. We had a good dinner at sister Hawthorns and had family home evening with her and the Bershers.<br />

Tuesday we had district meeting and lunch at the Rogers. On our way back, we dropped by a referral from Sister Lenz, her son Kirk. He was cool! Has strange beliefs about the illuminati and all that type of stuff, but nevertheless, he's a firm believer in Christ and God and he invited us over the next Sunday. We came home and studied and went to see Jerry and Sonja. We had a great lesson on the restoration and it went beautifully. Well, on our end. He had some questions and we answered to the best of our abilities and we ended. We had dinner at the Luttrell's to end off the night.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was easily one of the hardest days of the mission. Fran dropped us to be taught by the sisters in Hot Springs and was pretty rude about it and it left Elder Miller and I dumbfounded and I will not lie, I was pretty distraught. We were bewildered by it and I was so taken back and all we could do was sit down and wrap our heads around it. We put our heart and soul into teaching this woman and to be so rudely dropped, it kinda made me mad. It's just hard when you give your all and get nothing in return. We went and saw a few members with medical issues with Sister Crow to try to get our minds back in place. Well as we were driving, Sonja texted he telling us Jerry didn't believe what we said about Joseph Smith and so that sucked. But good thing is, she still has a testimony. We were still super upset cause we felt like it was a great lesson. Sister Crow took us to see Sister O'Neal after that and I'm glad she did cause Sister O'Neal and her stories and spirit always cheer me up. So after that visit I was a little more happy. We got pizza and went home.<br />

Thursday we saw Michael with Sister Hawthorn. He told us he is going to be in Little Rock for the next month and he didn't agree with Joseph Smith. So we testified and showed him the First Vision video. He still wasn't buying it so we testified again of the Book of Mormon and how that will help us know Joseph Smith was a prophet. He was a little better, but still not sure. So we left and lost him as an investigator for a while. Sister Hawthorn took us to the Caddo Cafe and ate lunch. Afterwards, we got rear ended while backing out. So that was great. After it was all settled, we drove to Little Rock to get our cracked windshield replaced. We walked to Target to pass time and I had to get new shoes cause mine are tore up. As we walked back, we talked to a guy and gave him a Book of Mormon and he was super happy to get one. He was homeless and had a BOM before, but he lost it in prison. We drove home and ate to end the day.<br />
<br />
Friday we exchanged and I went with Elder Barney. He's dope from Gilbert, Arizona. We were In the sticks trying to locate and contact a bunch of less and inactives. We were able to get the information for a couple and even walked on the highway for a mile or so in search for a house. We found it, but it was covered in no trespassing signs and had a locked gate. So we left and will send a letter later. We had dinner at the Pabst's home in Hot Springs Village, about 40 minutes north of Hot Springs. They drove us back and we went to a gas station with wifi to do a tablet audit and there was a guy jamming to guitar and singing. We enjoyed it and talked with him and got his info and invited him to church. He accepted and was super happy to talk to us. He told us our presence just made him happier and he felt a difference. He sang to us and it was great. We left and went home. I wish I remembered songs to play, or else i would have played and we could have had a jam sesh.<br />

Saturday we exchanged back and did service for a member in Hot Springs. They're Tongan and super awesome. They invited us over to dinner on the 26th so we're going to have a district P-Day and eat there next week. We helped them build their house. Elder Barney and I marked electrical wires to the rooms. They took us to eat at a buffet and we came back and Elder Miller and I drove back to Glenwood. We stayed in service clothes for a sec longer and Sonja asked if we could help take down a yard sale they had. So we helped with that and set up another time to answer any concerns Jerry may have. We're going over on Tuesday to do that. They fed us burgers and we left and studied.<br />
<br />
Sunday was good. Church was great and the Robbins fed us. They're the highlight of my week by far. They're so loving and care for us as their children. Sandy made us some sort of shredded chicken slider (I got to shred the chicken, so I'm basically the one who made the meal happen), but it was sooo good. I don't know what was in it, but it was succulent. They then made us milkshakes by mixing chocolate and mints chocolate chip. It was so amazing. Then they did this like experiment thing to figure out our love language with people? It like falls between service, quality time, gifts, physical touch and words of affirmation. I got quality time and physical touch. That scared Elder Miller cause I always try to hug him and now he understands why. We came home and studied and had a lesson with Kirk. Just so y'all know, Bush did 9/11, illuminati rules the world, we are dead to the government and we have a secret bank account with our social security number. Oh, and Hollywood drinks baby blood and eats kids. Crazy stuff. But I love the guy to pieces. He asked for a Book of Mormon and we explained it and Jospeh Smith. We were at his moms house for this and Sister Lenz was so awesome at explaining why we need the Book of Mormon and how it will change his life. She bore powerful testimony and were going to be going over on Tuesday as well to teach him and hopefully a lady that lives by him. We walked home and ended the night with dinner and a card game.<br />
<br />
We had our ups and very low downs, but we're alive and pushing through. We lost some gems, but hopefully we can turn some new people into diamonds. As hard as it was for me this week, I know there's better things laid up in store for us, whether it's a baptism or not, we will work for our King and give it our all. If I can say one thing from this week, it's that it isn't over when you lose, it's over when you quit. And someday, this pain and suffering will make sense.<br />

<i>Dad Edit: A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his mettle truly tested. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Serving a mission is hard, sometimes harder than you can imagine. There is so much pressure to baptize and when that hasn't happened for 19 months it can be debilitating. It doesn't help that you are constantly told how much your leader baptized and how he expects baptisms and praises everyone who has one. It puts a lot of pressure on someone who is serving faithfully and working hard. However, such is life. All you can do is get up, go to work, and give it your full effort. As a dad, I feel the pain. He puts on a happy face for his letters, but inside he is struggling. Please pray for him to find peace and solace. Help him to understand the good he is doing and that it isn't all about baptisms. It is really about planting the seeds and tending the garden. If after your time in the field is over, someone else reaps the harvest you have sown, then your job is done. I love you Kai Bear, keep your head up and move forward in faith.</i><br />

Monday we went to Hot Springs for the last time. We were told to stay in our areas for P-Day with our companions besides the once a transfer district and Zone P-Days.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we went to the CADC and walked around the town a lot. No one was home, but we got in contact with the Hearns again! They were super sick though. We also got a hold of an inactive member, Sonja Kelly, and we started teaching her husband, Jerry! We just answered a few of his questions and he loves us! It was a wonderful visit! We walked home (we didn't see Shiloh...we were in the same trailer park) and had dinner. Brother Rubly then came over and we gave him a ride to see Sister Myrick. We helped her put in some light bulbs and left a message and went home.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we got to see Fran again! We got everything sorted out to where we will teach her, but when she is baptized, she will attend the Hot Springs ward and be fellowshipped here by members and missionaries. Anyways, we taught her the plan of salvation and she loved it! Sister Crow was amazing with her testimony and words as well! Fran is fasting to quit coffee and is progressing beautifully! We visited sister Jacobs. Since Brother Jacobs passed away last week, she's been having it rough, but she was happy with us there. She again told us she didn't want us to leave. We left a thought on the spirit world and offered any assistance. We saw Sister Hill again and read with her. Sister Crow bought us some good pizza afterwards. We went to young men's and had a game night. Might I say I'm a pro at charades.<br />

Thursday was Zone Conference. <br />
<br />
Friday we went out with Sister Crow again. We went to Brother Jacobs funeral and had another wonderful lesson with Fran. We taught the Restoration with a more interactive twist. I did this a ton in Memphis and haven't really done it since (Shout out to Elder York). I drew a church on a piece of paper and told her to blow on it. It of course blew away. So I put a bible in top of it and told her to blow it again. Didn't go no where. So I explained that's a church without the priesthood and prophets and apostles. Without those, it cannot be the true church. As said in Ephesians 2:19-20 and 4:11-14. To backup those, we go with Amos 3:7 and Hebrews 13:8 to show Gods pattern of prophets. Anyways, we all grabbed the paper and ripped it. After Christ and his apostles were killed or exiled, the church crumbled due to doctrines of man and loss of priesthood. So now there's a bunch of churches with different doctrines. We then explained the restoration and calling of Jospeh Smith and it was powerful! She wanted to keep the paper with the church on it! Haha. After Sister Crow again bore testimony, she brought the spirit in so much and Fran was in tears. She asked us for a blessing for some medical issues going on. I don't think I've given a more spirit led blessing than that. She told us that she felt immediate relief and was so grateful. After seeing her, we saw Sister O'Neal. Let me tell you, besides my grandmothers, I have never met a more funny woman! She has stories upon stories upon stories that make you laugh til you cry! Sister Crow took us home and we got ribs and enjoyed the night in peace.<br />

Saturday we started to weekly plan but then we got called to help Brother Rubly move some mattresses. So we went and then ate at a place called the OK cafe and let me tell ya does it live up to its name haha. Pretty mediocre if you ask me. We came home and showered cause the mattresses weren't exactly...clean or house friendly. So we got all dolled up and went to Sonja and Jerry's again. We taught the plan of salvation and holy cow this dude is AWESOME! He wanted us to show him some of the doctrines in the Bible and I'm so glad I have good studies cause we were able to show him in his own bible those doctrines and he was so baffled and was so interactive! I love this guy! He agreed with our doctrine and is so happy to have us over! When we got done, we got some gas and felt like we should see Sister Lenz. We went over and she was home! She's like never home due to work and her farm so it was a miracle! She gave us a referral for her son and she told us that she thinks that's the reason we caught her at home! And now for the fun part. She was asking about the apocrypha and the illuminate and aliens and I was sitting there like, I can't wait to meet her son (he was asking her about all of this). Haha. But he just started becoming interested in religion so it's an open door hopefully! We're gonna try to see him tomorrow!<br />

Sunday we had a good church service and afterwards we went to the Robbins and had a great discussion on love and charity and service with both the Robbins parents! It was amazing! We got home and I got hit by a train of tired. I've never been so exhausted. I laid down for 5 minutes and accidentally fell asleep for an hour and a half. That's the longest nap I've had on my mission. Actually, besides me being sick in November of 2016, I have only napped like twice. So the time is catching up to me haha. But I was able to get up and study a bit (I read an Isaiah chapter in the Book of Mormon for 5 minutes and understood it perfectly after a tiring nap, so if I ever hear someone say they don't have time for scriptures I call bs). We then went to Sister Hawthorns for dinner and she made some good pork roast! <br />
<br />
It was a great week with so many miracles! So far Fran is praying over a baptismal date! Hopefully she will feel the sprit enough to want to do it soon! I love y'all!<br />

Anyways! High lights of the week!<br />

We got a referral for a lady who is super prepared! Now, get a load of this story! Her name is Fran and here's a little story on why I've been more stressed this week than any other week in a while.<br />

The Hot Springs Sisters sent us Fran cause she has been going to the Hot Springs Ward for 6 weeks now (since the Uchtdorf and Holland visit) and cause there's a member from Hot Springs who drives her. She told us to our faces that it is true! Everything! It was great! We started asking questions and then she told us that she wants to only go to Hot Springs. We informed her that as good as it is to fellowship with them and get to know them (she's moving to Hot Springs sometime, we don't know when), she needs to come to Glenwood because that's where the jurisdiction is. Well she accepted to come every couple weeks, which is fair. President said it was okay and to count her as a sacrament Meeting. So all is dandy. Well, we call the elders on Sunday to ask about church (President told the elders to call the member to ask to bring her to Glenwood) and apparently the member who gives her rides, absolutely refused and says she is never going to Glenwood. We got confused and called the sisters. Apparently, the member of our branch who is her neighbor, never invited her to church and she got offended over that (even though they talk like, daily) and so she doesn't want to come to Glenwood and how she loves Hot Springs and wants to keep going there only. She is also under the impression that we are going to keep teaching her when she moves. So on Tuesday, we're going to have to clear up A LOT of things. Prayers please.<br />
<br />
We also got to see Jessie! We watched the restoration video and explained about faith and church and the Book of Mormon! It went well! He fed us pizza afterwards!<br />

We got to walk around Glenwood for a couple hours and while contacting a less active (wasn't home again), there was a dog. We of course named him Shiloh and kept walking. He would follow and then walk back and we didn't think much of it. Well...this dog decided it liked us. It followed us for a little less than a mile back home before walking and wandering away for a bit. As Elder Miller and I talked and walked, we heard trotting and who did we see? Yup. Shiloh. We felt bad cause we had led it so far away from its home! We ran to the apartment and waited a few minutes before I looked out the window and see him...AT OUR FRONT DOOR! We were baffled! Elder Miller then took it upon himself to put on the pug mask he bought and run outside and bark at Shiloh. That didn't work. We ate dinner and thought no more. We haven't seen Shiloh since. Pray for the pup that he makes it home safely (Disclaimer, there was no collar on him, so we didn't steal him, hopefully, from a loving family).<br />
<br />
That's about it for the week! It was rather slow, but my heart has never pumped so hard. Looking forward to a good week this week!<br />
