Good morning and what is up all you fine males and females! Back here again with another awesome email from beautiful Oklahoma and man I’m loving it here! This past week was a good one, we had our ups and downs but over all a good week so let's get into to it..
May 6th
P-day was so awesome. We went and got a cool belt buckle from a thrift shop for 5 bucks. We also got our groceries at Walmart and we got a monopoly game which we played at the library later when we met up with the elders from the Lake Valley area. Elder Hunting absolutely destroyed all of us in the game. It was fun to be with the other elders whose names are elder Divall and elder Ricks. They are super cool and fun to be around. After that we went to the youth activities night at church and all the youth gave me the nickname elder sandwich and also elder sandy soooo ya- there we go. They are all super crazy and funny, I love the ward here. We also saw our friend Devon there and he had such a fun time being there so that's good for him. overall a good day.
May 7th
Was another chill day today we had a lesson with our friend Sophia and her aunt, uncle, brother and grandma and they badly want her to be baptized but she is waiting for her dad right now to be worthy to have the priesthood to baptize her so pray that as we continue to teach her she can do the things she can to be ready for when her dad can baptize her.
May 8th
Well folks,I had my first tornado! I was taking pictures during it out in the rain. We were with a family from church and we were right next to a tornado shelter just in case things got too dicey but we didn’t need to go in it. It was crazy to hear the sirens and see the weather turn from sunny to absolute crazy like that but afterwords we just biked in the rain š I enjoyed the whole of it.
May 9th
Unfortunately not much happened on this day, just a normal day in the life of a missionary— lots of biking, walking and talking to everyone.
May 10th
My favorite day of the week, Sunday!! I have grown to love church even more and enjoy partaking of the Lord’s sacrament more. You truly don't realize how much the mission can change you till you’re 3 transfers in and see how far you have come. church was awesome, I sang in a church choir for mother’s day and got to hear some amazing talks and it was all so good. In class we talked a lot about following God's commandments and we can't call ourselves followers of Christ if we don't fully commit to his commandments and Strive to repent when we have our shortcomings. I got to FaceTime and talked with my mom too. It was a great day.
May 11th
I had an exchange and I went to the town of Claremore, ok and man it's such a beautiful area. I was with the Zone leader Elder Byum, he is from Alberta Canada. We had an awesome time together, had some deep conversations and also met some cool people. I had some crazy spicy hot candy that people in Oklahoma call cowboy candy. It was comprised of three crazy hot peppers with a candy flavor liquid. I could not tell you what it is and I took 3 spoonfuls and it was super good and for 1 minute it was crazy hot but after that I was good. I got told I can officially roll with the big dogs ššš. We also had a good lunch at Braums and it was so good, over all a sigma day
