#Tracting🚜💨 the south side one night and
we met this native man that spoke in 3rd person and Elder Wells and I both got the
vibe he kinda wanted to kill us.
"Melvin
don't want missionaries here"
"Who
is Melvin?"
"Me."

were stopped at a train crossing and the bar next to us had college basketball
on inside so for a few precious seconds we got to watch Michigan State -
Kentucky. #TenderMercies

Elder Wells is still trying to teach me how to talk to girls. We did role plays on
how to get a girls Instagram and/or hold her hand in the car. We told President
Wadsworth about this and he said "Elder Pett... your mission will teach
you that you can do hard things." Thanks President.

one night I had a dream me and @TeamBetaAlpha were driving to Bdubs in the
panther and we were talking about our missions while listening to "I Go Back"
by Kenney Chesney... #TrunkFest2k16 #Soon
Work
is going good here. Our investigators on date are all doing pretty solid and
it's so cool seeing them grow in their conversion. We taught the Word of Wisdom
twice this week and both families are choosing to give up old habits to be
baptized. We always get so nervous telling people they need to change their
lifestyle a bit, but the faith and testimony is there and THEY want to make
those changes.
One
Mom said "if this is all true... why would I let coffee hold me
back?". We all should try to have an attitude like that towards what is
holding us back. It's seriously so cool seeing people make those changes.
We
also had a sweet lesson with a family we were referred to. Super fun family, we
had a good time with them despite their dog wanting to rip our faces off but
luckily they had him contained... freakin MEAN pit bull. We barely touched the
Restoration but we had a good lesson with them, the dad was asking awesome
questions. There was one question that especially stood out to me...
"Someday,
when you are in your 50's like me... do you still want to be Mormon?"
Got
me thinking that's for sure... still thinking about it too. Never really
thought about life like that.
The
answer I gave and the answer I have been thinking about the last few days is of
course I do! But why?
The
gospel isn't just a "now" thing. It's not a trend or a phase you go
through, it becomes part of you. It's living life with purpose, knowing you are
a son/daughter of a Heavenly Father. Its striving constantly to be like Christ.
It's chili cook offs, it's 5:30am Ward ball, it's golfing road trips to St
George with your Sunday school teacher before you leave on your mission. It's
family, it's awesome. I love it. It's eternal perspective, to help us now and
set us up for happiness later too.
Being
Mormon isn't an end goal that you just quit and turn off like the Xbox when you
finish the game. Thank goodness too because turning off that game would suck! The
gospel is here to help us live a happy life. Why ever stop? Yeah life is not
always easy, but it was never meant to be... which is why we have the Gospel.
I'm
grateful for this church, for the knowledge we have, the family I have. There's
so much to be grateful for family. That's another big reason why I'll still be
Mormon in 30 years/forever, I'm so grateful for what I have. Look around and
see all Heavenly Father has given you, for me, that just makes me want to give
back as much as I can.
So
my answer... inspired from a fight song that many of you know I love... and a
fight song many of you should review if you are sulking about Saturday... is
this...
"I
Will Be 'Till I Die"
I
love this gospel fam. It's so powerful. I'm no perfect missionary nor perfect
Mormon but man, I love this gospel. I wanna live it forever. Other things in
life are pretty fun, but nothing brings joy like the gospel. It's changed me a
lot, being on a mission has been amazing. I love it. I have never felt and seen
Heavenly Father's love so strong before.
Despite
the fact it raises the trunkiness levels to dangerous amounts I love this
holiday season too and what it represents, especially Thanksgiving. Being on a
mission has certainly opened my eyes to how much Heavenly Father has blessed
me.
Love
ya fam, things are a lil busy and I probs can't respond to all of you but
thanks for the emails.
