Damitu's Mission Call

Mom, 

   My new area is massive. I guess you can call it exciting haha. My goal was just to stay lowkey my whole mission and just be a normal missionary haha but it's alright. It truly is humbling. I have never been so overwhelmed for he longest time. I did my first training in Indiana last week. I trained on how to use the Book of Mormon in every aspect of our missionary work. It was fun a good to get the first out of the way. My comp is okay got a lot of work to do. I have a struggling district. There is one sister has been an stl and the rest is just a lot of troubled missionaries. But it's alright it good learning experience for me. I have never been so humbled. I'm exited to be able to give it my all.  And the good thing about my new area is... It only 16 miles away from my most favorite members of my entire mission. They had us over for dinner on Sunday to haha. 

     And yes about damitu oh my gosh hahaha. That's so awesome. I was super busy that Monday because all the members wanted to say buy so we were driving from a member to a member and   Right after we left the brimhalls and went the Byrnes I got a phone call and she told me so I freaked out and checked my iPad haha and sure enough she her mission call haha. That's so wonderful.  Here one scriptures that sets me back on track whenever I tend to forget my purpose as a servant of the lord. 3 nephi 5:13. I know she will do great. The eastern states are the best states to serve your mission haha. 

      Wow that's amazing 5 years. I didn't see that coming haha. Times flies by. That's makes me feel super old.

Blessings of the Temple

The work has been picking and it's been so awesome to see that happen. I love being a missionary.

     Well last week was a littler hectic so I didn't email a whole lot back so.. Sorry about that our PDAY got moved to Wednesday because we went to temple. It was so fun. Even tho the temple here to small compare to the one from Rexburg but the spirit was just as strong and I had an awesome experience. And right after we were done the temple president invited us into his office and we got to talks him and ask him questions about the temples and other doctrinal things.. Probably the only time I will ever get to do that so I made sure I asked enough questions haha. I loved it tho. Then right after we went to joe's crab shop with a member in downtown Louisville... It was so good best crap I have ever had. Anyways last was crazy but I wouldn't have traded it for anything I absolutely loved it all haha. 

    These week has also been pretty awesome and eventful as well. We one of our investigators get baptized and it was really neat to be able to see her doing that. It truly is a blessing to be able to see one Bing brought into gods one true a living church here on earth. Her name is shekata and I have never seen her so happy haha. She was like cracking jokes and everything haha. She is the kinda person that likes to keep to herself and very hard to crack her she'll but still super nice and she goes to through a lot of pain as well.. She got hit by a car couple years ago and it's affected her physically. But she still got baptized and it was awesome to see her get confirmed as well. 

     Etown is blessed. Our recent converts got to the temple as well these last week. And it was sure an awesome experience for me to here the expression how they felt temple. Nauje went home after the temple and found his favorite temple and put it on his back ground he said. I really do know that the gospel can change lives. Not only can it change you but it can transform you to a true Christlike person. I have been truly blessed. Anyways things are going super good. I'm loving my mission and it's going by so fast like I have almost been out 9 months it's crazy. But thank you for all you do.  #hallelujah
