Thanksgiving and coming with haste Nov 29, 2021

 Well this week was good, a wee bit slow but its chill 😂 we had a few good stories and miracles so I'll just cut to the chase and get to those, here they are:

miracle in the park...:
Ok so despite the cold me and Elder Cook decided just to do our studies at the park and we met this guy named Will and shot some hoops with him for a minute or two and talked with him about faith and Christ and stuff, he wasn't really interested in what we had to say but he talked to us at least so that's kinda cool! 😎

The weirdest Bible bash of all time:
On Wednesday we went and visited this lady name Kimberly who we had talked to before and holy moly was this a wonky time. We went over and started talking with her and her mom and Kimberly kept saying yeah I agree with you guys and then her mom would be like no Kimberly you don't because .... (fill in the blank) and then Kimberly would be like wait no way you believe that and we'd be like yeah we do actually and she'd be like what the heck no way is that real but like I still agree with you guys...this went on for about an hour and then we started talking with Kimberly's daughter who is agnostic and well that didn't go well because we'd try and be like God is real and then her mom would be like yeah he is and then Kimberly and her daughter would start to argue and we'd be like uh oh and this happened for a long time as well. All in all just weird...😂

Thanksgiving: 
Thanksgiving was pretty awesome we started the day off by going and playing some two hand touch football with some ward members which was tons of fun, me and Elder Cook wore are prosies and got super dirty though 😂 it was awesome! We also served at a food pantry for about four hours which was good, we handed out food to people for Thanksgiving and it was really awesome! And then we got special permission and got to eat with our Bishop which was also good! Got to call home which was chill as well. All in all a pretty good Thanksgiving.

Karina:
On Saturday we went and visited someone in are apartment complex that we had helped move a couch before and she was super happy to see us actually. Her sister has recently lost her son which has been really hard but we were able to talk with Karina about kinda what happens after we die and it really seemed to help her a lot and it was really awesome! She invited us to come over again this Saturday so that's pretty awesome!

Facebook Finding grind: 
On Saturday night we spent about three hours doing Facebook Finding, which for those who don't know, Facebook Finding is basically us just friending random dudes and then when they accept we send them a message and try and set up a lesson with them. Well me and Elder Cook spent about three hours doing this and friended 130 people so that was pretty crazy 😂 I friended about 85 people....

Spencer Update: 
Ok so we haven't met with Spencer for about two weeks which is really disheartening but hopefully we'll meet with him this week at some point! Please keep him in your prayers!!

Scripture of the Week:
Luke 2:16-"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."

I love this verse so much because it explains how the shepards came with haste after they were told that Christ was being born and I think it's just really awesome imagery to think of these shepards dropping everything and going to see Christ, it's made me think how I can more fully come unto Christ with haste and its just a really awesome verse!

Anyways really slow but good week this week! Remember I love you all and am cheering you all on! You got this!

First p day

Hey everyone well it's only been three days but it feels like a lot has happened in just those three days, I met my district and comp and they're all really awesome people! My companion is Elder Kennedy and he is super chill. I can't wait to meet everyone in person though when I go to the Provo MTC this Wednesday, because right now it still feels kind of weird being at home even though I've been set apart as a missionary, I don't know quite how to explain it but it feels very surreal. Monday it felt like I was almost dreaming, because I've been anxiously waiting for this day to finally come for like a long time and now that it's here it feels so weird.  I know God loves you all and that He can help us through any trials we're facing, he's helped me a lot adjusting to missionary life! I invite you all to read D&C 121: 7-8 because they are really awesome verses that have helped me a ton this week. Anyways love you all.  -Elder Roberts

 That's right folks, only four days left till I enter the field and I couldn't be more pumped. I am gonna miss my freaking awesome district though, no cap. but there's actually a few stories from this week so buckle up folks this email might be the longest one yet, a whole two paragraphs. Kickball: On Friday we played kickball with another district who was in our residency building just across the hall from us and it was tons of fun, but we lost miserably by like fifteen points. But I still had tons of fun. After the game the Elders from the district we played with came to give us a box of donuts to say sorry for absolutely destroying you, and in the box there was a single, solitary "L" shaped donut, it was a very well done prank. District scripture share: Saturday we got together as a district and shared our favorite scriptures and everyone shared really awesome scriptures that definitely made me feel the spirit. I shared D&C 122 5-8 and even...

 Well I guess there goes another week...crazy how fast time is flying. I left in August and now its almost Halloween...  Anyways things are going well I'd say. We did a lot of service and had a few miracles that were pretty chill but all in all a pretty good week! Here's the miracles from the week: Mondays lesson: So that lesson with the guy who came up to us in the park (seth) went pretty well. He had a ton of questions that I had no idea how to even begin to answer but Edler Cook was just like oh this is easy and answered every question and we have another lesson with him tonight so that's dope! Hopefully it keeps going well and keep sending those prayers!   Danville the place of many miracles: Ok so there were two pretty dope miracles that happened in Danville...First we were in a park (of course) and we were walking around and we saw this guy sitting on a bench, and let me tell you this man was the most yoked man I have ever seen. Like why would a man ever need t...
