You've got to dig a little deeper

 So you're going to want to read this story even if I can't do it justice but the title of my email will all make sense in a funnier way than you or I may have expected. 




So we went off to a shoe store Elder Wilkinson put some shoes on hold and we were off to go get them and had to turn around after just 20 seconds to get Elder Wilkinson's phone. Well he ran in with the keys came back in the car and we were off. Well, longer story short we got to the store and realized I didn't have the keys asked Elder Wilkinson if he had them because he ran inside before we left. He checked his pockets but nothing. Double checked the car and nothing well we called a member and his grandma went over to the house and the deadbolt was locked and there were no keys there. Well, we got the shoes where like just trying to figure out what to do. Elder Wilkinson reaches into his pocket and the keys were there. So I guess he just had to dig a little deeper oh boy I hope it's not a long transfer. 

One thing I've loved is reading more in the Book of Mormon we have a scheduled time to read for an hour each day and you don't need to study just the book of Mormon in that hour but during breaks and other moments I've been reading more in the book of Mormon. It has been sweet just building more of a habit and love for it. Helps me find more peace and answers super-cool highly recommend.

Anywho I'm lazy enjoy the pictures

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
