Shabbat Tie Of Rebukeness

Just a few things to mention real quick:
-A neighborhood lady stopped by and dropped off 70 turkey wraps
-These are dog days, but I ain't no wimpy kid. Dogs just pop out of nowhere and start chasing after us, trying to bite our legs on our bikes. I don't have to be faster than the dog though... just faster than my companion.
-President and Sister Goaslind are going home. RIP the man. They were legends, and they made a big difference in the ATM (Arizona Tempe Mission).
-The days are getting toasty (Saturday should be 116 degrees)
-To survive out here, you have to have muscles like superman's trainer
-Our fellowship had a seizure mid-lesson
-We went to the Mexico border wall. (You know I had to MJ for 'em) Also, through the wall we watched a man in Mexico using a net to fish while wading through the Colorado. It was really cool. (Only thing I be Wade'ing is this jumper though.) ((Or I hit that serve like Virginia Wade)).


Samuel had his rock of offense. Moses had his staff of justice. Lehi had his liahona of guidance. I have my shabbat tie of rebukeness. 


This shabbat we had the opportunity to rebuke friends unto repentance. We street contacted one man who at first was like, "Where is God?" Then he said something like, "It is not reasonable that such a being should come." With the spirit, and the rebuke mindset that comes wearing my special tie, we were led to rebuke him and by the end he asked for our number and wanted to talk with us again. We rebuked others with similar outcomes.


Ebony, Ivory, Harmony.

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ol' Oak Tree!

The rumors are true. I still buy green bananas, even after all that the prophet has taught. In other news... this is the last week of this part of my mission. I'll be back in the Couve on Friday!  The last few weeks people have asked, "Are you nervous, excited, scared, or what?" I'm really just feeling good! It'll be good to keep grinding, living and sharing the word of Christ. That doesn't change! I'm pumped to see the fam, and one may even say I am pumped to call and talk with all the friends I've made along the mission.  TAKEAWAYS 9) Do the best things as much as possible. This life is limited. Don't waste it on you. Mark 12:28-34 D&C 16:6  10) God's plan of salvation is awesome! I've seen it blow more socks off than any other doctrine. 21) There's a bunch of good people out there. God loves 'em all, and where there's a whip there's a way. We talked to a lady yesterday while she was walking to a baby shower. We had a ...

Paul Was The First Masterbuilder!!

Image
1 Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." Be the special! We taught a super cool, extremely spiritual lesson Friday to one of our friends! She is a really nice lady with some adult kids and a husband. She really was seeking peace. We had felt like we should send a reminder text about the lesson to her an hour and a half before the lesson (and thought nothing of it). When we arrived she said she was at work until just a few minutes ago. She was planning to ask to reschedule because she had a lot to get done, but then she got the reminder text from us. She showed it to her boss and said she thought our text was a sign that she needed that lesson. She left work and met with us. We showed her how she can find peace on her own in the scriptures. Afterwards, with the spirit super strong, she told us, "You don...

"Surrounded By Russians"

This was a solid week. I have learned a lot about many different parts of the gospel. My district just got to the in-person MTC today (Wednesday), and it is so sweet!! The people here are so fun, and it is so amazing to work with them in person! I have a very cool story to share.  On my 6 am flight :) from Portland to Salt Lake City today, I was seated on an aisle seat. There was another elder a couple of rows away, so we started talking about where we were going. When I said Dnipro, the man across the aisle from me said with a heavy accent, "You're going to Ukraine!" He proceeded to tell me he was born in Ukraine and grew up in Russia. He was fluent in both Russian and Ukrainian. His family was in the two rows near him. It was so cute to hear his kids say things I could actually understand in Russian. He taught me so much, and we talked on and off the whole flight. At this point in the story, one may say, "Elder Sheppert, this is just a coincidence that you were sit...
