  What is up everyone!! Hope you all had a fire week! This week was pretty solid. We have been grindin crazy hard and the Lord is putting prepared people on our path. Satan tho, hes just knockin our friends right in the dome piece with adversity. God's plan tho for real.  Im gonna complain a bit and then be done. Yesterday was branch conference. Couple people from the stake came. The branch made sandwiches and a lunch bag for all the stake people. I assumed it was just for the stake people so me and my comp were like dang ok. Then we started looking around a bit more and a couple kids had one here and there and then sure enough everyone had one. I figured now "Oh that's so hype we getting sandwiches today!" I go and ask the relief society second counselor where are the sandwiches at, she looks over at the relief society president and laughs and tells me they made them just for the stake. And I go "oh I'm so sorry I thought they were for everyone cuz I saw a b...

Yo yo yo what's up everyone!!! These last couple weeks have been pretty fire! It's a FORT PAYNE MIRACLE!!! Yesterday this family asked if we wanted to hop in their car and go to their house after church to eat. Im pretty sure my jaw hit the floor cuz i was so suprised and gassed up. It's not because our relationship with the branch isn't good cuz it's definitely the best it's ever been and we all Dawgs with the branch members, we try to ask all the time when we can serve them and all that its just hard when the closest member lives 45 minutes away.

What's good everyone!? This gonna be mad short cuz I forgot to send it out yesterday The work is going good, there has been a lot of crazy spiritual experiences these last couple of weeks and some huge testimony builders for me. GOD IS GOOD!! The main thing I've taken away from my missionary service so far is the only way your gonna be happy is if you choose to be happy. Sometimes life sucks and that just how it be but you just gotta realize the only way you'll be happy is if you choose it. My grandma jo always used to tell me "happiness is a choice" and I never really quite understood how straight forward and truthful that statement is. Agency is such a beautiful gift we have been given and I'm extremely grateful for it.  Elder Chase told me we got a referral from the Nebraska elders this morning and that we need to call them. We give them a jingle and it's Elder Dillan Barlow from Smithfield. Pretty Flippin dope talking with him and all that stuff. Prett...
