Crazy gun guy, wolves, and a whole lot of road kill-- Apr 25, 2022

 Well this week was slow but good! Me and Elder Brimhall are vibing and grinding just doing missionary stuff. We literally have like no one's phone numbers so we're doing a lot of door knocking and getting a whole lot of no answering it's awesome 😂 we did have some pretty cool experiences and funny stories though. The ward members here are pretty cool too. Honestly Angola is a pretty sick little town! Apparently with the summer coming though we should start expecting what the locals call "Lake people" or "the lakers" so hopefully some stories to come about them 😂

MIRACLES:

No hablo Español pero todavía teníamos una lección:

Well we were out knocking and grinding when we saw these Spanish folk playing some futbol and we were like "henlo" and they were like "we don't speak English" so we were like "welp darn" but one of the ladies pulls out her phone which has this super nifty translator app which is sick and so long story short we got their phone number and address and now just needa find someone who speaks Spanish who can translate for us! Please be praying for Steven! 

Waking People Up From Their Nap:
We were doing a little knocking and grinding as one does, and we knocked on this one ladies door asked if she'd be interested and stuff and she was like "welp I just woke up from a nap but you could come back later" so we got her number and set up a time to go back so pretty sick! Her name is Bolu and she's from Nigeria! Please keep her in your prayers!

STORIES:

Crazy Gun Guy:
We went and visited our ward mission leader on Sunday and this guy is crazy dude 😂 he has like one million guns and like stuff you've never even heard of like I promise you've never heard of some of these things. But they're sick! He's kinda nuts though. We spent a pretty long time there and he was just showing us his collection and it was pretty cool 😂

Wolf:
Okay so not exactly what you're thinking but still pretty sick, after our visit with Brother Alwood (crazy gum guy) we left and were getting ready to bike home when the biggest dog I've ever seen walks up to us. I'm not joking when I say when I first saw it I literally thought me and Elder Brimhall were about to die  brother Alwood kinda lives in the middle of no where so like I actually kinda thought it was a wolf at first but luckily it was actually someone's pet. We think it could been half wolf though.....it was big😂

UPDATES:

Roxann:
We met with Roxann who is our most progressing friend and she's super awesome! Just please keep her in your prayers!

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:

This week's spiritual thought comes from President Nelson when he invited us both seek and expect miracles! I love that so much because part of faith is getting up and actually expecting what you've asked for, now sometimes were not gonna get what we want but I've noticed time and time again when I decide that I'm gonna see a miracle I do. So go seek and expect miracles!! I promise as you do you will begin to find them in your life!!

That's all for this week! Love you all! Keep fighting the good fight!

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...
