Howl it up

 Hello everybody! This week was weird. I had to drive a biking elder, from the very bottom of our mission all the way to the top for a doctors appointment. It was a fun road trip I guess. We've been teaching a friend named Ava who will be on date most likely by my next email. Her boyfriend is in our ward/congregation and she's been around their family a lot and loves the Church, just wants to know more on it. She said she had a dream about being baptized but her parents couldn't come watch it. We obviously told her parents will definitely be able to come but my companion and I immediately just knew she was ready. We wanted her to pray on the Book of Mormon first though to receive her own witness of it. Other than that our friend Luis has been at a slight stand still the last three weeks. He's a workaholic right now so he hasn't been keeping commitments, but he said his work should be slowing down soon. Our friend Charles as well who we haven't been able to teach in awhile because he's kinda whack, is taking medication and this sounds mean, but he's normal and we can actually talk to and teach him. There's been some great miracles this week and there's only 2 weeks left in this transfer. Our president has a pattern of moving missionaries in and out every two weeks, but I really want to stay here another transfer because there's gonna be some fun these next weeks. Everything's great out here though. Bought a cowboy hat, a hickory shirt flannel, and an elk belt so I'm fitting in fine in the Claw. I wanted to share this dominant scripture from Jesus when he appoints 70 to preach the gospel. 

Luke 10:2-3
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 
Verse 3 is great because it's true I feel like a lamb among wolves for sure out here, and I love it. Jesus being perfect as he was persecuted and hated by some people. As a representative of Jesus I should expect the same and occasionally get it. I've been starting to pray for charity everyday for the past 4 weeks and I've already noticed such a difference in the way I talk to people. I see everyone as a child of God.
 If you're reading this, it's too late, because I invite you to pray to have charity towards others, I can promise you will see the fruits from it as you show more love towards others. God is good, America's Great, and people are crazy. Love yall and so does Jesus. Keep grinding, continue being a Monster. Horns Down

Let's Ride

  How's it rolling? Everything's going great out here in Bonney Lake. Punches are being thrown by the adversary currently. We have lost two friends, one passed away and another went to prison. Also an inactive member, who we've been helping out, his wife passed away as well. But that's strike 3. My companion elder Char and I are both just so pumped to do work right now. There's only so much we can control up here in Seattle so we're doing all that we can. We invited one of our friends to be baptized in which he kind of said yes but wants more time to strengthen his faith. I finally turned 19 years young this week as well. Also I don't think I ever mentioned this but one of our family friends is currently serving with me in Enumclaw area, Elder Jacob Murray. We went to high school together and we've always been close fanily friends so it's been kinda hype. Not much else besides that. Be dilligent. Jesus Loves you. Horns down. And keep grinding let'

Roll Tide Time

  What's good? It was a Roll Tide week this week. We played ultimate Frisbee for a district activity. I ain't gonna lie I'm definitely am not in the best shape of my life right now. Need to get some more cardio in for sure. Also my shot is broke right now, we aren't allowed to play pickup basketball currently and it's been a long time since I've played so it took awhile to knock off some rust on my shot. Our friends Sabrina and Luis are great peeps. Keep them in your prayers, Sabrina has come to know the Book of Mormons true but she's agoraphobic and is afraid of church. She's growing more and more courage so don't worry. Transfers are next week so this could be my last week in Victor Falls. Definitely gonna try and leave all I can on the sacrificial altar this week. It's a blood sweat and tears game minus the tears so far, but the blood for sure. Everyday is a battle no doubt. A battle verse evil, temptation, and the adversary. Not just for me o

Polynesian Love

  Hello everyone, twas a pretty average week but we also had transfers. My companion Elder Narayan is getting shipped to his original assignment in India, so I'm got a new companion his name is Elder Char. He's my third straight Polynesian companion. It's poly love out here, they can't stay away from me. I'm excited for this transfer Elder Char seems great and I've heard he's a great worker which is all we need in this area right now. It's gonna be a successful transfer no doubt, and I'm glad to still be in the Enumclaw zone and in this ward.  This place is beautiful. We've got a new progressing friend named Luis, who's 20 and is great. It's looking good with him and I'm planning on setting him on date for baptism next Sunday when we meet with him again. We're gonna see how it all plays out and continue with faith. I was on an exchange with an Elder named Elder Jones in his area Orting, and we decided to bike this super long steep
