Holy Matrimony

To all those who are wishing they could be chilling in a hot tub with their soul mate:


MICHAEL AND AMANDA GOT MARRIED!


Twas so gas. We were privileged enough to attend, and it was pretty cool! I am so hyped for them and glad they have made this step! Michael is going to be baptized this Saturday (Ys and Prayers up please)


We pulled up to dinner with this older German lady, and she decided to make a sauerkraut stew with pig feet. It was sooo good with these salty potatoes that complete the dish! Definitely found a love for sauerkraut that I didn't know was there. Elder Sherwood championed through his plate, but let's just say that when all was said and done, the kind lady offered me the fatty piece of flab around the ankle of the pig. I felt pretty special.


We have been extremely blessed this week. One day we talked to this guy who was getting out of his car. He said he had gone to church with his cousins like 10 years ago and wouldn't mind us stopping by. When we stopped by, he told us that he had been in a very dark spot in his life. He had told Christ he needed the Savior to help him out. Christ told him to start reading the Bible daily. Since then, he had been meaning to get a copy. He said when we handed him the Book of Mormon he knew he needed to start reading. Cash money. 


The Book of Mormon is still most definitely the word of God. Abide by its precepts. 


Ghost in the stalls,
Elder Sheppert


PS: Shout out to Annie and Mamma Sheppert for killing it running RAGNAR like nobody's business.

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...
