This week was totally crazy, flip-turned upside down but so good!!!!

 

So, it was crazy for 2 basic reasons. 1st we moved to another apartment and the 2nd we were moving while we had lessons and appointments to keep.

 

So as we were figuring out what we needed to bring, take, throw, burn, destroy, obliterate, and disposed of maliciously (only the 1st 3 are true) we also were planning praying bringing members to, and teaching lessons. I loved this week because we were so busy the whole week!!

 

One particular lesson I really enjoyed was with our investigator Cody. we brought a priest named brad with us and I was his 1st time coming out with the missionaries! so cool!!! So we gave a quick run-down of the restoration and how we will teach it and then prayed. Got to the lesson and we ended up talking about the priesthood and it's necessity for the whole 45 min we were there! The young man would pipe in here and there with great comments through out the lesson. At the end, he was asked, essentially how he gained a testimony of the priesthood. He bore a fervent testimony that touched each of us there. It was incredible!! He said in the ride home that he was nervous at first but it became more natural as it went on!

HAHA thank you for my Birthday collages and everyone for the song and bday videos, Ty showed so much enthusiasm!! ha ha! I love hearing from you and I clearly hear your voice speaking it as I read your letters! I love that talk by Elder funk mom!! It is such an inspiring and inspired message indeed! I am constantly in need for meekness and lowliness of heart. Learning what lowliness of heart truly means was a milestone for me! I used to think that meant to think less OF myself. but I was completely off base... it means to think less ABOUT yourself and more of others. Please keep praying for miracles becasue they happen everyday and I'm ready!

I love these people here in Medina and know that it is essential for me to be here with these people specifically. there have been many instances where i have been able to share about Toby, Lyme, and how we, as a family have gained a testimony that is "steadfast and imovable" in Christ our King. I hope to continue to improve as a missionary and a man becuase i have a ways to go still... quite a ways. I am doing my best and loving my companion! We are learning alot from each other and continue to grow.

Quick shout out to the Berrett and Schenk family!!! I so appreciate the LOVE you all sent :) Congratulations on the celestial marriage of Kelsey B! I loved being able to work in the temple and be able to hear those wonderful blessings that we are blessed with as we obey!! That is so cool for you Kelsey!!

 

I know that God lives and loves us to the end!! I love being able to see the Lords hand in peoples lives as they learn of Gods will and apply it to their lives!

Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the Faith!

Love,

Yo Boi Elda Trigga Trey
