Dear Today

Image
What's good yall! Been a great week! Let me give you some of the lights: ++Highlight- I forgot to say last week our friend Tracy got baptized so that was hype! ++Awkwardlight- a guy had a little fluffy dog on a leash and it was crouched into the low desert-kissed grass on all fours. To try to start a convo, I said, "Is your dog lying down or standing?" With a straight face, and a few calories flying out of his mustache, he said, "It's pooping." My comp died laughing and I tried to proceed through the convo but it didn't get too far. ++Greenlight- The Spirit's pedal is most definitely to the metal out here. There have been quite a few people who are willing to meet up. ++Nightlight- We were out in the middle of the "Hurricane" and our boy Eliuth (19) was chilling. We got to talking and he was so down for all the gospel blessings. We shared a scripture (the BoM got a bit wet) and he committed to a lesson, to read, and coming to church. He cam...

Dig On This (Snap, Snap, Snap)

I have the opportunity to stop and talk to many people every day as they are walking to whatever in going on in their life. Here's a few approaches I have tried (I put in some responses that may be real or may be taken from the Toby Maguire Spiderman films. You get to decipher which is which.) A Approach: Hey! We have a really cool class at our church that helps people dig for info on family that has passed away! Response: Dig on this (snap, snap, snap) B Approach: Hey, do you have a moment? Response: I'll rub some dirt in your eye C Approach: We'd love to share a quick message with you on how you can find more peace and joy in this life! Response: You're like the son I never had. D Approach: PLEASE, sombody get help! (I proceed to throw Elder Goodrich at the people) Response: I'll squash you like the bug you are. E Approach: Hey! We are representatives of Christ! We would love to share a quick message with you that will bring you some peace! Response: I have actual...

Gathering Israel (And Doug) +Bars

People ask me to write good stories,  They want Miles Finch, I promise they will come, I'm in Chandler with Elder Goodrich, (Feat. Nav) Back on the bike, whip like Odysseus, Feelin all right, knew I was missing it, Cover two wards,coach put the bishop in, Members connect, gathering Israel The week has been awesome with some extra canes sauce. I found out Wednesday I was leaving Casa Grande the next day for glorious Chandler, AZ. (It's the new way they are doing transfers) I'm going to miss so many cool people in Casa Grande, plus the small town vibe, the farms, the boonies, the gangs, the cacti, the monsoons, and Brother Mosson the kung-fu legend.  However... Chandler do be going crazy. Our area is right smack dab in the heart (of Tafiti). It's great! 2 wards. 2 Elders. It's go time! We are both new to one of the wards, and Elder Goodrich was in one of our wards last transfer. We get to start from the bottom up with finding a pool of friends to teach and it's so...

NONSTOP (Flip Flip)

A-after the door I moved back to the car A-after the door I moved back to the car I finished up my studies and I tracted more I tracted more, we gave more joy Even though we started at the very same time, our teaching pool has began to climb What to account for this rise to the top Ma-a-a-n, the spirit is NONSTOP!! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I now endeavor to prove without a shadow of a doubt that our Heavenly Father is real and His hand is fosho in this work! #omegaskin 1) One time we had a tad of extra time, so we said a quick prayer to see were we should go. We thought to go to Valerie. As we got out of the car to knock her door, a guy across the street was walking into his house. I called out to him, he told us to wait. He went inside... then came out a minute later and we proceeded to have an awesome lesson with him. He accepted a Book of Mormon and promised to read it. (He has no shield) 4) We felt we needed to tract a certain area, we went there and found 5 separate peopl...

She has had 2 lessons, came to a baptism and church all in her 1st week. Fortnite! -Elder Spirit made another big play. Michael got baptized! He is super cool and the ward helped out bigtime.
