If you only believe in the sun when you can see it you will never make it through the night

 




Okay decent quote not my favorite but it works. 🙃 okay yall can skip this it's for my mom lol but I've learned how to make Taco soup! Got some Frito chips the ones that are scoops it's great made that for dinner while we served at the food bank it is great! 


We honestly don't know how the food bank fund like when we are there we are super busy and the workers just wander off and do other things like we just do a ton and don't see things getting done if we weren't there just not near as fast it is just interesting but I love serving there. There's a guy who works there that occasionally will cuss and be like oops and just correct himself I'm assuming to be respectful it is nice of him. Last week we were talking about like getting something to drink it was hot he was like oh in the cooler there's lots of stuff and talked about Mtn dew and he's like oh wait there's caffeine. Anyways I was like oh we can have caffeine and hours later I was like well its time for a "caffeinated" beverage it was funny.

We had a lesson with the Bruzan family and put their daughter Melonie on a date! Last Saturday in June is the day pray that everything works out! Had a great lesson we are pretty excited for her. Today we had our weekly planning and it was kinda a mas o menos evaluation it was good. Still figuring our kinks out but it's all good just growing. 

Been working on a lot of family history and Русский (Russian). Just how I've tried spending my time while Elder Wilkinson plays the ukulele. It's been just I've been growing a lot. 

Lots of studies and just learning to be a missionary still. It's pretty crazy to think though I've been away from home for 7 months. It's a very obvious totally different life but I'm super glad to be here though it is hard I'm looking forward to many blessings that will follow but doing my best to live here and not just in the future.

This week we had our p-day on Saturday so that we would go to the temple and watch an endowment and sealing from Elder Naluai's old area. A super cool special moment.  I'm getting transferred so that's wild. I'm going back to Elizabeth City! It's more or less exactly what I wanted I'm glad to have this happen. I'll be companions with Elder Hill that's going to be a blast. Friday is transfers it will be a lot of driving.  We played some disk golf this week again and I found some poison ivy evidently so. So just putting up with that.  It makes the everyday moment more interesting.  The Elders in our district had their car in the shop and they stayed over almost all week! We had a crazy few days. The downtown part of Suffolk is a 14-mile drive about 30 minutes. We took the bus there and then biked home. That was a fun day. A total of 23 miles biked that day we were dead! So fun though, I want to do it again.  Gunna be horrible to say goodbye to my friend Sa

So much happens every single week here in Chesapeake zone. We went up to serve again at the temple Monday and Tuesday that's why you are receiving this email on Wednesday. The temple is fun to serve at. We removed or put on shoe covering so people can enter the temple. Nice to hear everyone's thoughts on the temple both members and nonmembers of the church. I also love hanging out with the other missionaries and just having fun together. We had 10 Elders spend the night with some local missionaries it was all 10 of us in 2 bedroom apartment so that was a blast. My air mattress had a hole so I moved to the couch what a blessing that was actually slept really well. They had 7 missionaries in one room and 3 in the other I liked being in the 3 the other two missionaries are a lot younger in the mission and it was nice to just chat with them about how they are doing. Super fun though. We had a great lesson with a part member family. They have all been coming to church for years the

  Tuesday the 6th Today started out with interviews with the mission president; which is always really fun. We have seen President Hutchesen a lot recently. Zone conference, stake conference, and interviews. There has been a big focus on trying to talk with everyone and you'd think after being on my mission for 20 months I'd be a natural by now. Well as of 4 weeks ago I'd still kinda dread talking with everyone it's scary as many might agree, but I love it now so much more fun. With the focus to talk with everyone we have also just talked about being focused on our missionary purpose (Inviting others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel by faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost). So what I think of now is do you want to come closer to God? Some people say yes others say no. Among the people who say yes we go further if you are wanting to come closer to God, I know how or I believe
