HEY YA'LL!!!

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.” 
-Gordon B Hinckley-

Man this week has been crazy!!!!

MONDAY- dodge ball!! We had a tournament with the youth from the Clinton ward and North Branch and all the missionaries. We played in an enormous gym and we played ultimate dodge ball. It's one verse all and there was like 40 people there!! Not including the leaders that was just YM and YW and the Elders and Sisters. It was crazy, 10 balls were on the line and we started and I was myself running along the outside of the game dodging and trying not to get hit, But nevertheless Elder Hintze, Maddox, Jones, and Hicks all gang up on me. I am so thankful for my skinny body, it is a blessing when it comes to sports like this, why you ask? Cause I am a hard target to hit while I am moving!! All I have to do is turn sideways and I'm like a twig. Long story short I got punmbled by the end!!! Hahaha great day!!

TUESDAY- Tuesday was a very interesting day!! Went to District meeting till 1 and then did an exchange and that was 1.Awesome, cause I got to drive Elder Fredrickson to the Dr.s in Newark 2.It was awkward the rest of the night  3.Awkward voice mail!! We go to the docs and it took and hour to get there and find a parking spot and then get in to see him!! Well we get there and I wait for like 6 hours till he is done, by this time I'm starving and he has to give the doc a stool sample (if you don't know what that is good, but if you do this will be funny) He tells us to go to McDonalds and have Elder Fredrickson  order 20 bucks worth of stuff. He did, he threw it all up, went to the house did his business and I was seriously going to throw up. We drove to the docs house to give the sample to him. He wasn't there so Elder Fredrickson calls him and leaves a very funny voice mail.  It goes as follows, "Hey Brother Tomas this is Elder Fredrickson and no one is at the house, so... um... don't take this offensively, but... um.... the  sample is... um... on your... um ... porch.... um well wait ... um sorry. um.... I ... um... bye!!!" I was laughing so hard I could not breath and then the doc got home!!  We talked and left home!

WEDNESDAY- we went to some steak house and got some sandwiches then went to appointments and had mormon.org time and watched a lot of uplifting stuff it's great!!!hahaha not to exciting 

THURSDAY-weekly planning and all that jazz ooohhh so fun, 3 hours of planning!! hahah no it really is though! We had to clean the apartment and car since it's transfer week! Din din at the Stevens was awesome and hilarious and so spiritual. We saw Tom and had to move his baptism to the 15th so we could do what we needed to do and also get him to pray. So if ya'll could pray for him to feel the urgency to pray so he can know the truthfulness of these things that would be amazing and helpful!

Friday- we got locked up in the apartment cause of the snow storm!! 

SATURDAY- Went to Isabella's house taught her about the gospel of Jesus Christ and then went to Tom's again and told him how he could know the truth and what he needed to do to gain that knowledge. We went to an all you can eat Asian restaurant and met with a less actives there, taught a lesson and we might have gained a new investigator! We will see!!! 

SUNDAY- Testimony meeting was amazing, open house for the Thomsons and a baby blessing also for the Thomsons and then class and getting told I was speaking in 2 weeks... ugh... this will be the longest 2 weeks of my life!! Hahah nervous, Stake President is coming, wahoo!! It snowed again and so we had to shovel and push cars out to get out of the parking lot!! Then went home, studies, dinner, more studies. 

FUN WEEK LOL LOVE IT. #NJMM4LIFE #MISSIONARIESRULE #SNOWSUCKS #ONLYWHENWEGETGROUNDED
