LoNg WeEk! Great Week!

This week was sooooooooooooooooooo long! But it was sooooooooooooooooo good. Lots of AWESOME things happened! So we will start with Zone Conf it was so good! President and Sister McCustion talked a lot on Doing YOUR best and about what true repentance is! It was really good! We gave a training on being proactive and not reactive, also about doing our part to make things happen in respect of peoples agency. It turned out pretty good! 

Wednesday we went on Exchanges, and I got to go out with Elder Johnson from Logan Utah! He's a good guy! We decided to walk because i thought this apartment complex was just right around the corner lol but 2.5 miles later we were there haha and it was amazing we knocked some doors and the 2nd door we knocked answered and let us in and we had a really spiritual convo and right when we were introducing the Book of Mormon his roommate walked in who's atheist and just started antagonizing us and the Book of Mormon and the spirit left quicker than you can say hullabaloo..... and then the guy looked at us and said get up and take your book and leave..... it was sad cuz I know for a fact he felt the spirit and had right in front of him the cure to happiness... but he just couldn't accept it. But we kept taking rejection in this building with people being rude and people just not interested. But we kept going and the 2nd to last door we knocked we met Savannah! Shes so awesome she actually was on the phone with her roommate warning her we were coming to knock lol but she answered anyways! 

Friday we had exchanges too! I got to go out with Elder Gardner from American Fork, Utah. He has been out for 2 months now. He is a DANG GOOD missionary! He likes to work, knows the doctrine way better than I did at 2 months lol, and is really personable when he opens up. And we had a couple lessons and did a lot of walking and talking! We saw these crazy church people on Campus screaming at people and just bashing everyone who didn't belong to their church but for some reason when we looked at them and made eye contact they found another person to fill time with haha. 

 Saturday Kayla got Baptized!!!!!!! So dope!!!!!!!! Gosh shes amazing! It was so cool! I got to go and I asked her what it felt like and she said right when my whole body went under i smiled and unlike any other time before this smile hasn't left and i'm not faking this smile!! Shes awesome! 

Sunday Mike Williams from Hutch got baptized! Awe its just been an amazing week! I love you all sooooooo freaking much! P.s. this week is gonna be litttt cuz we have the temple with Ian on Saturday! P.s.s. i have more pics on my phone that's at another elders place so ill send them later!! 

Miracles and Baptisms

This week was amazing!!!!!! We had an amazing week as a zone! There were 4 baptisms this week it was very hectic but it was amazing to be apart of!!!! So we will start off with Joshua! Hes awesome! Back story with him is I had the opportunity to teach him back when i was in Junction City and he was going to be baptized then but had a hang up and called it off last second. But now like 8 months later he finally decided its time! He's also wanting to go serve a mission! How awesome is that! We had Angie (the soccer player) come to junction to watch it with us and it was awesome! She got to meet President McCustion as well! 

Then the next day we went down to Junction again because a companionship couldn't get it together so we went and talked it out with them and got them hyped because they had a baptism scheduled that weekend! Then we took them out on a quick hour long exchange. While me and the dude I was with were on the exchange I had the feeling we needed to call the guy who was planning on getting baptized. So I told the missionary that and he was like hes probs at work and I was like awe shoot okay...... but the feeling never left so I just said lets call him anyways and if it goes to voicemail I'll feel better about it! So we called and he answered. So we talked to him and found out he was gonna have to cancel Saturday probably and the next week he was going to get stationed out in Cali for a couple months....... so we asked him if tomorrow worked and he was like yahh lets do it!!!!! So now they had about 20 hrs to prepare for a baptism! Hahahaha awesome!!!! 

Then we got to go to that baptism as well too because Angie came to junction again hahaha!!!! Such a spiritual baptism! Then we had exchanges with the APs on Friday and that was fun! We went down to Wichita for it! But the BIGGEST highlight of the week was def Danielle getting baptized! It was so amazing! She is sooooo converted to the Gospel and lovesss the church!!!! 

We are going to the Temple with Ian for his Endowment on Sept 1st! But to make it an even cooler day Danielle is gonna be there too!!!!! How awesome!!!!!!! Sorry for how long this is! 

I love y'all! 

Oh p.s. Kayla the donut shop miracle is gonna get baptized this week!!!!!! The first thing she said the first time I invited her to baptism is "haha yah probably not I don't really see myself wanting to get baptized"....." and now she is just 6 days away from doing it herself! 

K-State and Miracles

This week was AWESOME! Monday and Tuesday were filled with good-byes and packing and some finding! But then Wednesday we got up at 4 am and drove to Manhattan (30 min drive) dropped me off so Elder Becraft could get to Wichita! We literally saw a miracle EVERYDAY THIS WEEK!  
The area was kinda slow and didn't have much of a teaching pool so we just went and tried to find! They did have this one girl Danielle who they had taught a couple times. But she will be getting baptized this weekend! So that's awesome shes so cool! We met this girl Angie and shes awesome total homie! Shes a Freshman at K State shes playing soccer here! Then we met this girl Selena shes so cool we had randomly decided to walk to go knock doors at this place half a mile away....... but when we got there we met Selena she's awesome we then came back 30 min later to teach her a lesson and she loved it and accepted a baptismal date! Then as we were leaving there and we saw these 2 girls walking away and we felt like we should talk to them but it was so awkward of a situation and couldn't make it easier to start a convo but then we just shot for it anyways and one of them turned around and said "Oh hey Elders!" So we talked with them and turns out the one is the daughter of a convert and just never got baptized.  She has been to church since she was 9, she has spoke in sacrament, etc. Its so dope! 
Life isn't much different for me as a zone leader i just get less sleep lol  but its honestly pretty fun! Elder Jones is cool! So hes a convert to the church and was baptized at 14. Hes the only member of is family. He served the first 6 months of his mission in Argentina Santa Fe (shout out to my boy Ian cuz that's where he's going) he got sent here cuz he got sent home early because of 2 stress fractures in his back and fought his way back out onto a mission so he could finish so they sent him here so he could have a car. He graduated from Palo Verde out in Vegas. We've been seeing a ton of miracles and stoked to see some more!!!!!!!! Well I LOVE y'all!  
Elder B

Transfer number freaking 10 yikes.......

So this week was pretty dope! Lots of cool miracles happened! So I guess ill just start typing cuz honestly have no clue what happened now that i think of it.... it went tooooooo quick...... so we went on Exchanges with the Elders in Manhattan! That was a pretty good time!!!!!! We met some cool people! And then we had some really good lessons too! We decided we were gonna test our faith and walk a ton so over about 3 days we walked probably 25-30 miles..... no joke it was so exhausting but so worth it!!!!!!!!!!! So were out walking around and have like a 15 min walk to dinner but dinner didn't start for another hour ish so we just started walkin around and we saw this Donut shop and we were just so curious about it for some reason and we went in. As we went in we talked to the girl behind the counter and she was a TOTAL HOMIE so we started talking about normal stuff and then the conversation turned to what we were doing so we started talking and she said "that's pretty cool but i'm atheist" so normally i just kinda let it be from there but something about it just made me push 1 or 2 more times and she opened up a LOT! So we started talking about her purpose and why bad stuff happens to good people! So we gave her a Book of Mormon and a Plan of Salvation pamphlet and invited her to read a chapter and the pamphlet. So we went back the next day and she did!!!!! And she LOVED it! So then we triple dog dared her to come to church....... and she did! And she LOVED IT! It was a huge miracle dude! Shes so awesome and so ready to help life get better!!!!!! That was the biggest miracle we saw this week! 

Y'all are probably wondering about transfers and............ i'm going to Manhattan on the K-State campus.......... as a Zone Leader! So this next transfer is gonna be lots of fun my comp is Elder Jones who is from Vegas and hes actually a convert to the church! Super stoked to be with him!  I love y'all so much! 

P.s. sorry for the lack of pics this week i blinked and it was Monday again...

A dAnG gOoD wEeK!

This week was dopeeeeeeeee y'all! We worked our tails off and it was totally worth it. We also had interviews this week with President. That was awesome we had a couple of awesome training's by the assistants. One of the commitments left to us was to pray for an hour and see what the Lord needs from us and i did it that next night right before bed. But i took it a little further I got showered and then i got ready like i would to go out and work but i put on a suit. And i knelt down and prayed for an hour and yoooooooo it was so dope! I will definitely be doing that more often. But this week we got to meet a couple people some more we met with this lady Malasia and her 4 y.o. daughter Paris! They are awesome she wants to be a motivational speaker and just help everyone she can shes awesome. She had met with missionaries out in TX before but they told her they're only meeting with her cuz they need a baptism in the month............ ugh so now we had to do damage control too . 

We met a dope lady named Leanna too shes a total homie! She is so awesome she came to church too with us! She really liked it it was cool! We also met with one of our Less actives and his mom is now interested in the gospel and she came to church as well! She's so awesome! 

We decided to go tracting in the rich part of town and my favorite part of missionary work is def knocking doors and talking to rich people so that was lit. But what made it even cooler is we found a really cool family with some potential! Sunday was awesome we had 4 of our people come to church and it was really awesome! But that afternoon we remembered there was a community praise fest at the local "Church of God" so we went and showed our faces there and yo it was LIT hahaha the people were pouring their heart and soul into it and the people in the seats got up started dancing and screaming their praises and hallelujahs and amen's it was awesome haha.

This week was a really good week we even set this next one up really awesome too! Yall this work is the best work in the whole wide world!
