WEEK 88 - Eras Tour

Hey everyone! I hope your week has been glorious, I love you and I miss you! President Nelson's talk during conference slapped. In his talk he so directly just told everyone that we are in desperate need of charity and virtue. I feel like the world is starving for charity and virtue. We have so many things as human beings. Like entertainment instantly whenever we want it, great food, beautiful places, dope technology, the entire Kung fu Panda trilogy, and many other things. But all these things that we consider precious to us cannot fill us like charity and virtue can. I have felt recently like there has been a hole in my heart and I have not been able to fill it. So just like my amazing friend Tanner Shallenberger, I'm gonna rededicate myself to filling that hole with charity and virtue. I'm very hopeful that those two things can fill the holes in everyone's heart. The mission has been good but testing recently, and now the biggest test of my mission is upon me... Interstellar is being shown on UTD campus tomorrow. I'm deep in the refiners fire. Here is my week: - We put our super dope friend named Karla on date this week! Everything was going swimmingly until she hit us with the huge plot twist that she was a 10th grader - We were on UTD having a lesson with our elite friend named Julian and idk why but UTD decided to throw a Taylor Swift eras tour event right next to us. I was knee deep into teaching Julian about prophets when this lady, who for like 5 seconds I thought might actually be Taylor Swift herself, came up and handed us souvenier cups. The event was decent and the songs they were playing lowkey meshed with the lesson so it all worked out - During EQ our member Josh enlightened us on why the church auditing report was unequivocally the best talk from conference - I accidentally sprayed Elder Duersch with diesel gas. It wasn't my proudest moment - We were finding in a Target this week and I felt like a gravitational pull over to the lego isle (common occurrence) and boom, my friend Ange who I helped get baptized was there restocking those precious shelves. It was so good to see him - We found a 7 foot 1 guy who is apparently gonna go to the NBA named Nick. I felt so short next to him, and my poor 5 foot 3 companion Elder Duersch looked like a grain of rice next to him. He was a cool guy though Sorry everyone, this email was written with so much sass because Firestone was making me actually wanna pass away. But anyways. I hope yall have the best week ever, know I love you! pics: 1. Dope exchange with Elder Uhrich 2. Walmart 3. Mall 4. Some fun with Aaron 5. Me in nature 6. If you know what this is from that makes me so happy 7. Me and Elder Duersch

WEEK 103 - I'm On Steroids

HOMECOMING: AUGUST 10 9AM @1272 Walden Ln, Draper, UT 84020 My HEAVENS I love you all! I hope you had just the most blessed week ever! I've literally never felt as many emotions as I do right now. I imagine that when Jesus died His apostles were overwhelmed with emotions just like I am. Jesus gave them a commission to go spread His light to all of the world. I bet they were grateful for the time they had with the Master, excited to go and do their best, and nervous for what is to come. I feel all of those right now. When Jesus left they didn't really know what to do, so they decided to "go a fishing." They caught nothing all night long. I bet they were feeling pretty down on themselves. In a short time they went from following the Savior of the world to unsuccessful fisherman. The thing that I think we all sometimes forget is that the Savior won't ever forsake us, He'll always come back, no matter our circumstance. As soon as Jesus came back to them, John k...

WEEK 5 - the puzzle fiend

Thank the glorious heavens above I love P - Day so much. I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing from you guys and I LOVE writing my emails. My emails make me realize how weird and amazing this place is at the same time and I love it. But anyways let me tell you what happened this week. - I literally almost became spider-man last week. Yes Elder Andrewsen you heard that right. Spider Man. So basically there was this really weird thing on my arm last Monday and it was rapidly growing and making my mom super worried so we went to go to an urgent care. They then told me that I had a weird spider bite infection thing and a weird strain of the flu. So we were quarantined. The devil himself must really want me off the streets of texas, but it ain't gonna happen. - On our way to the urgent care it was a really silent car ride. And I hate awkward silence so much. We passed by a Hooters and I just kinda wanted to make conversation, so I told my companion Elder Campbell that I was going to take him there...

Merry Christmas family and friends I love you! And to you Elder Yee, I declare a firm Mele Kalikimaka! I hope yall get to do something you love this Christmas, so you can feel just like I do. When Jesus Christ called Peter to be His disciple, He said nothing of Peter's past or his flaws, all he said was "come follow me." If you are on this list you have likely noticed that I have quite a few flaws, I have done things I am not proud of, and I have messed up more times than I can count. Yet all I hear is "come follow me." That is all He wants of me and that is all He wants of you. Long ago when Christ was born, the new star was another sign of Him saying "come follow me." To the rich wise men, to the poor shepherds, to all who saw the night sky. All were invited to follow Him. Life isn't always the easiest, but I know following Him and doing my best to be good and to serve those around me has healed me and gets me through all of my sorrows. He spent...
