Transfers right around the corner

This week was crazy! So first we had a "philosophical debate" with this investigator and it was so good lol usually these turn out into blood baths but this was actually worth it! It was dope! We made them think so much about what we were saying and it was pretty cool! They at first were just there to bash with us but then by the end they softened their heart and want to learn more! That was pretty cool! Then we had the last district meeting of the transfer cuz the APs are doing the last one! But that was crazy that this transfer is so close to being over..... sad. 
We had to drop our 85 year old man named Aldin. He just kept trying to bash us and not learn what were trying to tell him. He also looked up some anti stuff and tried to use that against us but after we broke it and showed him where it's wrong he still chose to believe it..... it was sad! But Ryan is doing way good! He's such a good guy! He's so fun to have conversations with because he knows do much and is so serious about changing his life! So awesome! 

We also did a lot of finding this week too and got LOTS of doors slammed in our face it was actually pretty funny! I just kept laughing and laughing! We also had exchanges with the ZLs again and that was trash...... i got to sit in a mice infested apartment while babysitting a sick missionary. It was not the best part of my mission at all hahaha but we killed like 4 while i was there...... grodie right?!?! This upcoming week will be a whole lot more interesting for y'all sorry about this trash email! I love y'all so much! 

 PS just know the Hutch District is bout to drop the hottest album of 2018 just look at our album cover. 😏

With all these lessons i should be in school again

This week has been CRAZY! We had the chance to knock maybe 100 doors this week! Usually that's a daily routine! But this week was so different! I loved it! So we had appointments every single day and no time in between them! Its been so awesome! We were having a blast finding people to teach now were having a lot more fun actually teaching! So the people were working with are 

Donald: a 15 Y.O. kid who just wants to know whats true and where to be happy!

Tim: a 33 Y.O youth pastor who doesn't believe anything his church teaches but likes his pay check. 

Loyda: 65 y.o. shes so sweet she hated the thought of the Book of Mormon and now loves it and is curious on why every copy of the bible doesn't have it attached haha! 

Ryan: 33 y.o. guy wanting to know how to apply the knowledge he has learned! He us unlike any other investigator i've ever had! Crazy! Hes so cool! 

Aldin: 85 y.o. man wanting to know how to reach salvation. Hes stuck on 7 day worship and pre earth life. Its fun explaining that almost every time we see him.

John: 28 y.o. youth pastor trying to find out what we believe and why were so happy! 

That's just some of them for y'all! I love these people so much! This place is so awesome i love it here in KS. Also watch out for my boys in the sweet 16! 

We went on exchanges this week and i went with my ZL Elder Grandy and it was so gnarly! I learned so much and had a lit of fun running around like a chicken with our heads chopped off! 

Sorry this is so long! Funny story before i go. So there's this guy in the ward named Derroll and we have this ongoing prank with him where we drop off fruit to his house and leave or just put it in his house while were there and he doesn't notice hahaha its been hilarious like when we put a banana in his bed hahaha or stuff like that! Hes so confused on who's doing this haha and we just deny deny deny lol!

What a week..... like really to much to write

This week flew by holy freaking cow! Like every day feels so long as a missionary but the weeks feel soo short Good Guac! But this week has been spent with lots of door knocking and stuff! We knocked probably close to 400 doors this week and that's the most I've done so far on my mission! Its been crazy! We have been doing close to 10 hours of proselyting daily! The average is about 8 we decided we would work extra hard this week to see more miracles! It was a struggle bus at times but we persisted hahaha! And all that working led to lots of stories hahaha so i will share a couple with y'all! So one day were out knocking doors and i see this old lady sweeping her garage out and so i jog over there offering to help her out and she turns around and screams I swear if you come closer i will hit you with my broom so i stopped dead in my tracks haha!  She was so upset with me hahahaha! Another one is the numerous times when people say our religion doesn't match up with the Bible and i ask what in specific and they say well i cant think of any right now off the top of my head! Hahaha its because there isn't any! Or when we play basketball with all these kids and just dunk all over them cuz they wanna play on 9 foot rims haha so we just lay down the hammer on them! There were these 3 kids who challenged us while we were out knocking and they were so cocky about it so on the first play we let them score then steal it and score then all of a sudden i threw an ally oop to Elder Thompson and he threw down on them hahahah! Or when Mississippi started doing donuts and drifting in his riding lawn mower for us hahahahahaha!!! It was so funny! Another one is when a member dropped off some fruit to our porch and we felt bad taking it so we raced them home and dropped it off on his porch before he got there hahaha it was so funny-But a couple crazy stories too!
So during one of our lessons one of our investigators told us that he thought about committing suicide but then he remembered "his brothers" were coming tomorrow and couldn't let them down! He told us that we are his brothers! We are his best friends and we are pretty much the sons he wished he had! It was so crazy but it really made me realized that we do so much for people  that some people never get! 
Another one is when we felt like we weren't doing enough cuz we weren't seeing "success" as in like having people meet with us or even keeping return appointments or even lots of slammed doors we finally met a guy named Ryan and he is totally Golden he has been so prepared by the Lord for us to meet with him! It was incredible! We met with him Saturday and he came to church and loved it the next day! This week has been full of crazy stories! I love you all please stay safe!

Déjà huit mois! (Already 8 months)

This week was really tough for some parts and really really good for some parts! So in my new area we don't have very many super solid people so we have been finding people to teach like pretty much all day every day! And the theme of this week is we have found a super awesome family or person and then we would be invited back and we would have a super spiritual lesson and then when we leave they want us to come back and then when we go back they have gotten into anti and believe that more then what we say and wont let us even try to answer any question they have. So that was really frustrating and sad because I see how awesome this area is and also how hard Satan is working on it too! So obviously God has a huge miracle waiting for us! But now to the GOOD stuff of the week haha! So we met this guy who's about 85 years old and he is so awesome His name is Aldin hes a total homie! We met him knocking doors and he had a couple questions we answered for him and he has prayed to see if our answers are true and he knows they are! So we have an appointment again this week to answer and other questions he has! So awesome! We also met this guy named John Wilson and he is so cool he had never talked to Mormon missionaries before and he invited us in and we discussed our church and he wants to read the whole Book of Morn by our next appointment so we can discuss more in depth with him! How awesome! Oh hes a youth pastor at one of the churches up here and he really wants to know the truth! So cool! So we asked this member to tag along with us to a lesson and he comes and when he was there holy cow this man knew almost everything imaginable! Good Guac! Its so dope! He knew bible scriptures off the top of his head and had them memorized! He was so cool! That shocked us haha usually most members dont know their Bible as well as their Book of Mormon! Well do you remember my friend Mississippi? Well he had us over again this last week a couple of times and one time he just busted out into song and then another time he snapped a roosters neck hahaha what the heck....... 
Well the reason I am writing on Tues is cuz of Zone Conference so my BAD i totally forgot to tell yall last week! But it was really good! We talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and being a TRUE disciple of Christ! It was so awesome and spiritual! Well I love all of you and feel your prayers!
