The Buc-ee Duckee 🦧 April 28, 2023

 Hello everyone it's been almost two weeks sense my last email and that's because we're going to the Temple today! ðŸ˜Ž so this could be a little bit of a longer email but here you go ðŸ¤‘

TMOTLS/MIRACLES:

The Finding Grind:
The past two weeks have been filled with Finding and it's been legendary! We've found a lot of people and it's just been so awesome! So many people are saying yes and it's been supa dope!

The Buc-ee Duckee (pictures included):
This one is kinda nuts so buckle up. So it was kinda a tougher day and we were biking back home after a not so great tracting session and we stopped at a cross walk and I saw a little rubber ducky on the side of the road we were on and I said "wow, a rubber ducky" and Elder Stevens went and walked over to it and picked it up and well you guessed it, it was a rubber Buc-ee duckee it was crazy! To add to the craziness the nearest Buc-ee's is in Kentucky about 241 miles away. Also if you don't know what Buc-ee's is please go research it. 

Haitian Finding:
Ok so if you know Elder Stevens you'll know he just came from Lawrence which if you've been reading his past emails you know theirs a lot of Haitian people there, who speak Haitian creole. I kid you not there wasn't Haitian people in Fort Wayne until this week, its actually been crazy! We've found three Haitians who are intrested and it's been fun seeing Elder Stevens wip out the ol' Haitian Creole because he speaks that now

UPDATES:

Eric and Sharon: They got baptised!!! They're doing awesome! Please keep them in your prayers!

David: He's doing well he came to church and is loving meeting and everything! 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:
In light of my recent experience with the Buc-ee duckee I wanted to share a Scripture from the Book of Ether.

"Behold, O Lord, thou canst do this. We know that thou art able to show forth great power, which looks small unto the understanding of men" (Ether 3:5).

This scripture is one of the great ones because it has helped to remind me to look for those small things, such as a small little rubber duck on the side of the road. Now to most a stupid little duck on the side of the road that had the Buc-ee's logo isn't gonna mean a whole lot but if you knew my dad you knew he loved Buc-ee's so it was just such a small little tender mercy that helped show the power of the Lord. So I want to invite you all to look for the small tender mercies! I promise as you do you will find them!! 

Ok that's all for this week, love you all! Keep up the good work and 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...
