Sheppert, David

Fool me can't get fooled again. So... Parx, Riggs and Knox got baptized! The Spirit put in mad work on them and helped them truly desire baptism. They lived, they conquered. They worked very hard to read and learn as they neared entering the covenant path.  Now... they need to keep movin' movin' #KingJuliantypebeat It is always cool to feel God raising you to your potential for a few minutes so someone else can come closer to Christ. I think the mission is a place where that may happen more frequently, and I am so grateful for it.  I spy with my little eye, some peeps who need the gospel and who need some good advice. Also, Elder Schreiner got emergency transferred to the Mesa zone (because some elder got injured and had to go home:( He was so fun, but Elder Asisi and I will continue to do the Lord's work out here in the TRENCHES! Grandview Gangggggg! -Elder Sheppert We stick together like Piano(PEA-ah-no) keys Give a man a fire, he is warm for a day. Teach a man to fir...

Let's get down, let's get down to business! 'Twas a great week. Lots of miracles. This week one thing that really amazed me was how beautiful this world is. The sunsets here are awesome, you never need a heater, there's an artificial green, greener than my cleaner.  Yeah... I wouldn't touch it with a 39 1/2 ft pole. But it's pleasant to look at. Look around man. Look at life. See these trees over here. See this water. See these... We had a New Convert Devotional (where recent converts share their testimonies for investigators) yesterday. Our friend Chris came!! He felt the spirit sooo strong. Afterward we were traversing the hallway and he saw "THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD." He asked, "What about people like my parents who died without learning this gospel?" We shared about temples and baptisms for the dead. A heart, touched. A principle, shared. A tear, shed. Every piece of doctrine is perfect! I am so glad we get to share it with...

New transfer, New bars Title: Notes for my future self Stay away from cat ladies Apartments get shady 2'ousand twenties are good don' make them the new eighties Ministering is huge, It saves the inactives, If all members did it We wouldn't have the factions The week was magical. I'm not talking Peter Pettigrew or Tinker Bell. Not Narnia or 5 gum. I'm talking BOB type beat. Everything the spirit touches turns to gold. IT. TURNS. TO. GOLD!! To help people understand that the mission is grind time and not all cupcakes, rainbows, and x-games mode, I will include a scary story. Warning: the following content may inspire young people to read 3 Nephi 12. We went into an apartment complex and we knocked a few doors of friends we had. Then we talked to the first people we saw, and they said "not nice things" and told us to leave. Then, one of our friend's door opened, and mid conversation, a lady on the second floor behind us began yelling at us. She was filmin...

WE IN DA TRENCHES. Tit for tat. Neck for neck. We fighting Satan each day out here in AZ (the weather is a similitude of the widely accepted home of the adversary). We took the fight to the nest! This week we pulled a couple fast moves and gained some more ground in this Celestial Conquest! Uppercut- A part member family we have been working with wants to be baptized! We set a baptismal date. Prayers up for Parx, Riggs, and Knox. Reinforcements- Our members showed up big time and were at almost every lesson. We just work here... Holy Hand Grenade- Every Morning before we work out I have been trying to read a New Testament chapter. It has just exploded Satan's attacks to smithereens. A palpable surge of momentum indeed. Headshot- We were walking through an apartment complex and a man was like "Can I talk to you for a second?" We said sure and shared some words of eternal life. It went great and he had real desire, so we set a goal with him of baptism on October 8th! Prayer...
