This might stink kid but it'll keep you warm.

 Oh my gosh I need to stop napping. Last two P-days I took a 3-hour nap each time so all my p-days disappear so sorry about that no nap today hopefully.

   Where do I start?? There's a guy named Captain Will we did service with him for one of his friends. Well, we got a lot of fences on his truck and I suggested we tie it down or something like that. He was like nah we will be fine. We'll about 1 minute into the drive a piece of fence flies off the back of the truck. We were driving behind picked it up threw on side of the road then kept going happened one more time then we finally go where we were going without anything flying off. When we got there he was like who suggested the rope? That was a stupid idea lol funny guy. Knows more about Joseph Smith than anyone else I know so weird. 
   Jeff and his wife who is a member came to church it was good we still have been meeting with him he's got a lot of stress and it's hard for him to get over some mental blocks about religion but he's trying so hard it's awesome to watch. We have 2 member lessons scheduled this week with Jeff so that's going to be awesome. I love teaching with Brother Shakin he's a motivational speaker and super smart. That will be fun though. 
   We have been playing a lot of games and having a fun time with that being a district leader is still just interesting I don't feel good enough but it's a good opportunity to grow can be hard though. 
Enjoy the pictures lol

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
