Hey everyone hope you all had a great week and an awesome Mothers day!
Mothers are amazing and never get appreciated as much as they should, shout out to all the awesome moms out there, but a special shout out to my mom! She's such an angel and is always looking outward. She is such a Christ like example to everyone around her and I'm glad I got lucky to be her son! She's put up with me for 19 years now and I still don't know how she does. Your the real MVP momma Spaddy!
Anyways, this week was good we've been doing things a little differently which is great! With all this crazy stuff going on President Tew has asked us to start looking to serve others more and using that as a tool to not only find but just get these people to open up. So we did tons of service this week and are trying to find people in more natural ways. We went and did service for the bishop here and it was so fun! He's this young dude who was baptized about 8 years ago and lives on this dope farm up on top of a mountain. So we dug some planting beds for him and pulled up some potatoes and hauled firewood into his barn. We got all muddy and wet but they fed us a yummy dinner so it was awesome. We also balled some dudes up on this court by our flat and it was awesome. We walked by and I said, "we have to go play them man" to my comp so we did. I set up my phone to see if we could get any sick footy of us crossing them up but my angle was horrible so I didn't catch most of it. But it was cool and they now want to make a group and play more once this thing blows over. Then the police came and kicked us all off which was frustrating because they've opened all the malls and all the bars and everything is normal but they won't let a couple guys play some ball?
The next day we decided we were going to get to know all of our neighbors and bake them a loaf of bread. So we went to town and made some yummy bread and delivered it to them and memorized all their names and we've decided were just going to do a weekly baking session and make stuff for them so we can ease them up a little. In the movie, "The Fighting Preacher" William Bean is the man who moves into the Smith family home. He realizes in order to buy the hill Cumorah he needs the people to trust him and like him. All the people hated him and he tries so hard to get them to like him, he then realizes he may need to switch up his methods. So he starts going around and fixing fences and baking pies for everyone and they end up liking him because he was so stinking nice and some of them end up joining the church. It has inspired me to switch things up and serve my neighbors more. I really regret telling my mom to turn off all of the church history stuff she would turn on while driving in the car. The pioneers and the stories of the members of the church in the olden days are so stinking cool. But other than that nothing to much! We are going to this WWII bunker today so that'll be fire. It's got all these under ground tunnels and turrets and stuff with stories about it, so I'm stoked. Then I'll probably get my rod and head back to the ocean to see if I can catch something bigger, one of the elders here caught a shark 2 weeks ago so I'm going to see what I can get. Hope you all have a great week!
