Miracles are all we know!

What up Y'all!

I wanna start this letter off by saying shout out to the little bro for getting his mission call to the Philippines Loaog Mission! I think I spelt that right.. Anyway, I'm pumped for you man!! you are going to do great things out there, you're going to see and experience amazing things in the service of the Lord! It truly is an amazing blessing to be numbered in his missionary force.

Well things here in BV have been great haha. This passed week honestly feels like one big dream. Crazy how fast the weeks are flying. I only have 2 more of these things left! We have been doing a lot of service for a lot of the members here which has been fun. Its given us a lot of opportunities to get to know some of the members. Since we cover so many wards we have close to 900 members we have to get to know. So we take every chance we can get haha. Other than service we have had the opportunity to teach a lot of people this past week. We also saw a lot of miracles as well.  Elder Moody and I were walking home one night and we just had a lesson with a less active part member family and when the lesson was over it was like 9 o'clock and we still had like a 20 minute walk home haha, they asked us for a ride but for some reason we felt prompted to just walk home and both wondered why.. anyway when we were about 4 minutes out from our car this guy stopped us in the street and said "Hey guys I just wanna shake your hand real quick, I met with missionaries in the past and I wanna start meeting with you again so me and my FAMILY can be baptized!"  What a blessing that was! The next day he was put on date for the 8th of September. 

We had exchanges with the Lexington Elders as well and that was a blast. I got to go with a new missionary who is in his first transfer of his mission. His name is Elder Bartholomew, and hes a stud! It was cool to see his ambition for the work. It made me think back to my first transfer in the mission and reminded me how exciting everything was at the point of the mission. Anyway on our exchange we talk to one of the coaches for the SVU football team and set a return appointment with him for Sunday evening. When Elder Moody and I went back last night we taught him about the Book of Mormon and what it is and what it can do for us, and when we finished he said "You know the first time I heard about his I was skeptical about it, But hearing it now I think this actually could be true!" He committed to read the BoM and said that he wanted to meet again the next Sunday!

Miracle after miracle. The Lord truly is blessing us this transfer. I'm so grateful to be apart of this wonderful work. I love being able to stand said by side with the prophet Mormon in saying "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him, to declare his word, among this people, that they might have everlasting life." (3 Nephi 5:13) Feeding the sheep brings joy and everlasting happiness. I invite you all to reach out to a loved one this week that stands in need of love. Minister to them and help them feel the love of God. I promise as you do so you will find joy.

I hope you have a great week! I love you all :)
