Week 29. Why do you dress so nice?

 So we were at our apartment walking to our door and this person three stories up smoking, sees us and asks why we dress so nice? He always sees us leaving in suits and ties and he says, and I just look like a bum. We laughed and told him we were missionaries. Then he walked back inside  

This week has been pretty fun, here are the highlights:

Sick - yeah, I got sick. Had to cancel the day, it sucked. The next day I was fine tho and it actually gave me time to work on my talk

Davis - so we showed up at this dinner/lesson with no plan and Elder Albright was kinda freaking out. And I told him we are missionaries, we have the Holy Ghost to help us, we'll talk about General Conference. And then we proceed to teach an awesome lesson and he gives this great analogy. It's just one of those awesome moments when you put on those shades  and be like: oh yeah, I'm a messenger of God. 

Bikes! - so some Elders in Seattle got hit by a car. So they took our car and gave it to them and we got their bikes. And it's been pretty fun. Literally the first day three people talked with us as we were biking past. One dude thought we were carpenters since we followed Jesus Christ. Elder Albright struggles uphill but soon enough we will be large in stature like Nephi. 

The first time we rode them it was pouring, the ride went from 30 min to 50 min, and while going down a hill my bike tire decided it wasn't on tight enough, and fell off. Don't ask me how. 

Sunday - so we rode our bikes to church, the day was beautiful, sadly one of our friends backed out of coming but we sent her the zoom link. Then Elder Albright and I gave talks. We both talked about God's love. He talked about recognizing it during our trials/corrections and I talked about how God's love changes lives and we should share it. 

That night we had dinner at a member's house and she had invited this random lady to come over so she was there for our short lesson and accepted a book of Mormon. Pretty crazy. 

Miracles - This random lady called us and said she was not active and didn't want to have us over, but did want to know when young womens was so her daughter could attend. So we helped her out.  Another one was a text I had sent in December finally responded and she's reading the Book of Mormon now. Hopefully I can keep chatting with her and she wants to learn more. 

Spiritual Thought: so I just wanted to share a thought from my talk.

John 13:34-35 

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

The love of God sets us apart, it blesses our lives and changes us to be better. So we should want to share that love with as many people as possible, and share the Gospel because that helps us to build a stronger relationship with Christ. 

And to end Elder Nash, this last Conference said: "To know [the truths of the gospel] is life changing! When a person learns the glorious purpose of life, comes to understand that Christ forgives and succors those who follow Him, and then chooses to follow Christ into the waters of baptism, life changes for the better—even when the external circumstances of life do not."

The blessings of the Gospel are so abundant, and so fulfilling and we can share it with others. It's awesome and I hope you all can follow Christ and feel of his great love for you. I love ya all and I love all of your emails, thank you for sharing your love with me.
