Hallo friends and fam!
This week went by so quick it’s crazy! It’s been a good one tho so that’s awesome! Tons of my best friends have come in and I’ve been seeing them all the time which is soo cool! I love that we’re all out here forgetting ourselves and goin to work!
On Tuesday, William R Walker came and spoke to us and it was so cool! He gave us ten tips on how to become successful happy missionaries! He said something that really touched me and motivated me to worked as hard as I can! He said “ be prepared to come home and when your stake president releases you as a missionary you can say I worked my hardest and I gave it my all! “ so that’s one thing I’ve been trying to do is just give it my all every day! I want to be here and return home without any regrets. He also shared a cool story that made me feel the spirit so strong. He said his son the last couple months of his mission got stuck with a missionary who hadn’t gotten a long with anyone and was going to be sent home if he didn’t get along and start working with his next companion. His son had a mindset that he was going to get along with this kid and be his friend and that’s exactly what he did! The kid stayed out and finished his mission. The son said it was hard but they became close friends. Later Brother Walker was a mission president in Japan and he was visiting with some Stake Presidents down there and one came up to him after the meeting and said “ your son changed my life, he helped me through some of the toughest times I’ve ever had and I’m eternally grateful that he saved me! “ I just thought that was so dope and it made me want to be that way when I have a comp who is tough. I don’t have to worry about that right now tho because my comp is such a stud and we get along super well! Then a funny story that happened, so we were sitting there studying Norwegian and all of the sudden Eldste Affleck ( an elder in my district ) goes what the heck is that garbage truck on fire!? So we all run up to the window and sure enough there is a garbage truck with flames coming out the top 😂 the driver was frantically running back and forth not knowing what to do so he jumped in the truck and opened the back and dumped all the burning garbage in the parking lot and we started laughing so hard! Then out of no where this little cute grandma comes sprinting out of the mail office where this was happening and jumped in her car that’s right next to the fire and jumped the curb in front of her and drove on the grass and we just LOST it! I was laughing so hard I couldn’t stand it, it was awesome. Then the fire trucks showed up and cleaned everything up and no one was hurt but it was so funny I love it. Anyways it was a good week love you all!
Eldste McSpadden
Oh and there is one of the branch presidency members who for some reason forgets my name and says Elder McFadden instead of McSpadden even tho I remind him every time so now everyone in my zone calls me McFadden so that’s funny!
