Seizures and Miracles!

Hey everyone, and happy late 4th of July! I realized after I sent my email last week that I didn't even mention that. I guess holidays on the mission really just blur into the rest of the days. It was a pretty fun one though! Anyway, this week wasn't as exciting as last week but it was still great and we had lots of miracles happen! Here's my extremely vague rundown:

Monday consisted of running errands for the zone, having to drive all the way to Fruit Heights and get supplies and whatnot. Then we just kinda hung out and emailed/played basketball all day lol. That night we went to another FHE and it was just a ward dinner, so that's always nice.

Tuesday we had our first MLC with President Call, and that was okay I guess. He's super anxious to do the work, but he's all over the place at the moment! Haha I totally feel for him though, he's under a ton of stress, and just had to leave home for 3 years. It should be better next time!

Wednesday, the 4th of July was awesome! In the morning we went to the Clearfield City parade with the Blackburns! For those that doesn't remember who they are, I baptized their son Hayden, and they really took me in as one of their own! It was super fun. The rest of the day we were just outside talking to people, and we went to a giant party at a park in West Point. We played some games and just hung out. While we were there, some guy had a seizure right in front of me, and I had no idea what to do. I started yelling for help, and luckily there was a doctor right there, and they already had a ton of policemen and the ambulance there since it was a city thing. They got him in the stretcher fast, so he should be okay. We also found a ton of new potential investigators that night too! So we will see what comes from it.

Thursday we had zone conference. It was petty short, but it was really good! A lot better than the MLC. We got to know President and Sister Call a little bit better, and they got to know us better. Later that day we went over to teach Truman again, and we found out that he has like 18 giant tortoises just living in his backyard. They're so cool, check out the photo below! 😂

Friday we weekly planned again, forever. Later that night we went on splits and I got to go with a kid named Cameron, who's about to leave for his mission in Kentucky. He's a stud! We Bible bashed with some dude for an hour (and I totally wrecked him), so I think that prepared Cameron a little bit for his mission down south lol!

Saturday was awesome. We spent most of the day contacting people so they can go to church, and doing a little bit of finding. While we were knocking on some doors, we met a guy named Kendon. He's 25 years old, and just got out of the marines a little bit ago. He served for 4 years. He's an inactive member, and we were able to talk with him for quite a while. Anyway, long story short, he felt the spirit and it taught him what he needs to do to change. He wants to turn his life around and get active again. He even mentioned to us that he wants to serve a mission. Now it's Elder Fullers and I goal to get him on one! He even came to church with us Sunday, and said he would only stay for Sacrament, but stayed for the whole 3 hours!

It's been a blessed week here and I'm loving it more and more each day. I know Jesus Christ lives and loves each one of us! Have a great week yall!
