Stoked

Elder Stokes is so chill. He is from Spanish fork Utah and he is pretty quiet but he is amazing at piano and music in general. He is everything I wish I was to be completely honest. Anyways that's my new companion. He and Beardall used to write songs when they were in Niagara Falls. We are pumped to write music.

I'm trying to learn how to harmonize which is super fun. We didn't have any music this whole week and we spend a lot of time driving, so we were stuck listening to a cd that their district made in Niagara Falls called Niagara has fallen. it's been a blast lol.

We have had an interesting week. We are wondering what happened because we only meet nice people now. One day we went tracting and we parked the car in front of this house and when we knocked on it the guy let us in and we talked for like and hour and a half. After we left we had to go somewhere else so it was as if we had an appointment with him. We have meet with him twice now already in one week. He reminds me a lot of my dad actually.

Last night we met with a guy who has come to church for a few years now. He has a calling and he comes every Sunday but he isn't a member. He has struggled with smoking for a long time. He invited us over and he is finally 6 weeks without smoking. He is planning on getting baptized with his son who is almost 6 now. This seems like a long time but he is solid. He wants to be sealed in the temple and wants his son to go on a mission. He is already talking about a couples mission with his wife too. He is a super cool guy and he has some really profound experiences with being prompted to do things. We shared the video of how we receive revelation by Elder Bednar. Afterwards Elder Beardall said he thought during it to bring up baptism and the words came into his mind "my children will enter the fold in my time" or something along those lines.

I hope everything is going great for everyone else. Just remember every day is a great day if it's all about the experience.

Sums up our new companionship pretty well....... lol

My last district - They are all so awesome and we had a blast together.
