Im Nottt Okay. Im O...KAY!!!!! September 17th, 2012

"But you really need to listen to me! Because I'm telling you the truth! I mean it, I'm okay! Trust Me..."

Yo, Shout out to My Chemical Romance one time d=(.__.)=b

Yes, yes....yes. So this past saturday was probably the best day of my life...

 

Reason (1) Ya Boy had his 5th Baptism and got to see that person overcome so much adversity and hardship all because she knew this church was true and knew that it was much more important than anything else.

 

Reason (2) The Ute Fam beat some kittens 24-21...It aint 54-10 but hey, i'll take that 21-24 different times...hahaha

 

and

 

Reason (3) Im staying in Aurora till November :)

 

Just a barage of great and wonderful news, i know :) Haha this past week was a lot better than the week before. Got a lot done. Taught a lot of lessons and all that fun missionary swag stuff :) Just got back from working on my golf game so i can put all the Lost Boys to shame when we get our first round of golf in in 2014. Haha Nothing like an 8 hour golf day to get the P-Day started.

 

 

Tuesday September 11th: Started today off right and taught both Paul and Beth (Recent Convert) Austin. We taught Beth her new member lessons and Paul kinda sat and listened as well so we ended up teaching him too. We taught the Restoration and pointed out how our church is the only church that comes directly from heaven. It wasnt a branch off of another church, like most churches and i could tell it caught Paul's interest. We talked to him after about his baptism date (Originally set for September 22nd) and he said "Well...i dont think its going to happen. Pauls problem is he knows everything and knows its true BUT hes obbsessed with politics and gets in very heated arguments with people on blogs which either A) Stresses him out or B) Ticks him off haha and that leads to him smoking and drinking coffee. So his reasoning for all this is that he believes that after Elections, he'll be ready then.... o_O yeah....thats what i call procrastination my dude..smh haha He'll come around :) Later on that day i got to relieve some football and i Coached a football team!!! A member is head coach of an 8th grade team and i got to help coach the O and D Line. They scrimmaged right after...now know this...they had never won a game before...they scrimmaged after and went beast mode HAM on the team they played and won 42-0. Yes...i am that good...hahaha oh im just kidding :) It was a good tuesday fosho.

Wednesday September 12th: Today I woke up and felt like Death (-__-) My comp had been sick and a few days ago i caught him drinking from my water bottle the cheeky slag...smh haha so he got me sick. So we went to district meeting and i low key felt like Kid Cudi, The Man on the Moon hahaha I was for sure on a different planet. But we went on exchanges and Elder Macilroy came out here to Aurora with me. We taught a little kid whos 8. So its not a convert baptism, its a child of record but i love teaching so it was all gravy. This was pretty much the extent of our transfer so...

Thursday September 13th: Yeah...I woke up sicker then a dog today and we stayed home all day. Woke up at 6:30 and had some gnarly body aches...it was all bad. Took some day quil and knocked out. Woke up later on in the afternoon and my Comp and Elder Macilroys comp were there. We didnt go much today. I tried to be a champ but my body hated me so in the apartment i sat.

Friday September 14th: Today we had Zone Training so we headed up to Springfield but got there a little earlier than we expected so...we decided to go proselyting at Redneck Headquarters..... BASS PRO SHOPS HQ hahahahaha It didnt go too well. We ran into a few members but for the most part people just started like we were aliens or something...like this was literally their faces -> (o_O) haha Bula Vinaka!!!!!!! :P hahaha After we went to ZOne Training and found out that the Aurora Area led the mission in Baptisms in August and lead the Zone in all numbers in July, August and so far in September. Its crazy how in June, they were going to close the area and now 3 months later its progressed and improved so much. I guess the people here are ready to recieve the word :)

Saturday September 15th: So, today Ashton Gaddy was baptized!!! My 5th one so far! A very spiritual and emotional baptism. Here family told her right after the baptism that she was disowned and could not come back home :( She smiled though and told her family she still loved them and she forgives them and she walked away. :') low key i was gettin teary eyed. She has such an incredible testimony of this gospel and is so strong in her faith its remarkable. GREAT morning. Later that day i called President and got premission to watch the byWho vs Utah game. "Only because you're on the team. You must watch it with a member" YEYYYY BUDDY!!! Haha the only down fall was that we're an hour ahead of you guys in Utah so the game started at 9 and our curfews 9:30. So we had to record the game and finish it today on P-Day. Bummer zonin. But my dude Crizzy Cres (Dres) just caught a bomb from my dude Johnny Hays!!! Go Utes

Sunday September 16th: A very good sunday. Taught a whole lot today and got the work did today!!! :) We taught 6 lessons in a good 4 hours time. The day actually went by a lot faster than i thought now that i think about it...hmm

So...this was my week. Im so happy and blessed to know that i can further the work here for another 6 weeks! Aurora has become a home for me and i love it. We have at least another 5-6 baptisms planned for this next transfer. So wish us luck :) Well...i guess thats it for this week.

Shout out to the Uso Cameron Laumatia for his birthday last week. Happy Birthday Uce. I miss you. _\,,/

Till Next Week
