What's up Fam!!!
- crazy crazy week. We had transfers and training the new
missionaries. 4 sisters came in so it was a small group but still a blast. New
missionaries are the best, it's a lot of fun getting to hang out with them
their first few days in the field.
- told them during training to follow the Tim McGraw
doctrine and they'll be good.
- Elder Hoschouer had this deep idea about an alternate
universe where I introduce Optimus Prime into the Jedi Council then I wife
Padme. That's a good way to describe our companionship from the
last week.
- went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and (100% not
planned I promise, mom) Duke vs NC was on and since Frank Jackson was
playing I justified watching that one while we were there. Last March Madness
as a missionary coming up... I can do this.
- we sat behind the Baird's at church and their family
continues to be #FamilyGoals. However the saddest event in the history of
mankind is when Sacrament Meeting ends and people start getting up and Maddie
knows it's time to go to nursery and she starts crying... and as she gets
carried out she tells to us "bye"... seriously plucks my heart strings more than the
end of Toy Story 3. It makes me wonder if I can even be a dad someday it's so
sad.
- watching a video in EQ and Jenny Goldsberry popped up
on the screen and that caught me off guard a little bit.
- #NerdMomentOfTheWeek™ was at dinner last night. The guy
is telling us about his mission and how he came home right when the first
Transformers came out. I say "so you served 8 years ago?"... he
pauses to count the years and says yes... he's looking a little shocked I knew
that, his wife is too, even Elder Hoschouer is... then I tell them I'm a big
Transformers nerd. It was a little embarrassing. It just slipped out.
Yeah, it was a wild week and I'm glad to get goin on to
the next.
Training the new missionaries was a for sure highlight. When I arrived I
was so scared so I'll take any
chance to calm their nerves when the new missionaries come in. It's nerve racking, a lot of
unknown and uncertainty, but man it's fun. Never thought I'd be the one saying
that.
I was gonna give you an in depth analysis on the sweet
experience I had with 2 Nephi chapter 4: 12-35 this week but instead I want to
challenge all of you to read it and let the spirit teach ya. One little tip...
really put yourself in Nephi's shoes.
The Book of Mormon is sweet fam... I know it's the cliche
stuff you hear a lot but if you are a looking for a desire to choose the right,
be happy, get through your trials, all that... read that book - Pray - attend
church. I see it all the time with people. They stop with those 3 and so does their desire, but just as easy it is to
lose that desire you can gain it back. Why??? Because those BIG 3 bring the
spirit into your life, and it's the spirit that drives us.
A lot more I wanna share but I think we'll call it good
there.
Anyway, Read that chapter, tell me what ya think and I'll
tell ya what I think. 2 Nephi 4:12-35
Love ya fam

- during training we did a role play on finding. Pres
acted like a guy at a bus stop... STL's were a door approach... I was playing
ball and my name was DeAndre... Hoschouer was playing Pokémon go. To make
things more realistic I drew myself a hoop and I also drew a pitiful looking
charizard and told the sisters they have 2 minutes to teach Hoschouer until his
attention is averted to a wild charizard that appeared... So after 2 minutes I started running around
with the charizard chalk board while they were trying to teach him. gotta get
em ready for the real stuff. Pres just sat there and laughed... I honestly
wonder what he thinks about us lol.
