Mr Speed

Okay, this email is quick, but I don't want to hear griping, okay? Everyone likes smaller emails anyways.

This week was fun, and I can't quite remember most of it, but I can testify that the power of God is real. We've had to drop a lot of the people we're teaching, which is okay. So we've been doing a lot of finding, and it's been great. Everyone's been pretty nice, but there are always the grumpy people.

We talked to a lot of people, but there was this one man in particular who was quite special. We were about done for the night, and we saw this guy in the dark, leaning up against his car. He didn't seem too excited to talk to anyone, but I offered to share a scripture. After I shared the scripture, he was in tears, telling me that's exactly what he needed to hear. It made me choke up a bit, but the prayer we said after invited the spirit even more. I'm just absolutely so thankful for the love that's so readily available from Heavenly Father. I'm so glad I could be out here at that time. It wasn't a coincidence.

We worked at the vineyard, and it was great. We dug out tons of posts, and it was very laborious. Brother Hansen is the best. This week felt a lot better. I feel the Savior strengthening my efforts to be a better missionary and a better person too. I'm still very far from perfect, just ask my mom. Anyways, thanks for reading!

From your favorite Elder,
Elder Berry

Hey Is For Horses

It's ya boy Chips Ahoy, and I wish y'all a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone's been doing well and you're finding a way this year to make Christmas centered on Jesus Christ. This week has been very good! We've had lots of service opportunities! We got to help a member paint his house as well as set up some stuff in a lash studio. This week we had a zone conference completely centered on Jesus Christ. It was really nice getting to hear people's testimonies and their favorite stories of Jesus Christ. I liked this zone conference, and personally, I'm not the biggest fan of zone conferences. I feel like it's a long time to sit. Speaking of a long time to sit, apparently, I've never realized how much I fidget when I sit, and let's just say my companion is not a big fan of that during personal study. We watched this video called "The Christ Child," which is a really good depiction of the nativity and birth of Jesus Christ. I really felt the Sp...

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I apologize for not sending an email last week, but here I am. These past few weeks have just been different than the rest of my mission (in a good way). I've been out for about 9 months now! I'm halfway done with a sister mission! Jkjk This Christmas season has been quite remarkable, and I can't remember a time in my life so focused on Jesus Christ, especially on His humble birth. I feel the Spirit every time I read and ponder on His beloved coming into this world. On Christmas, we actually didn't have any plans besides some that morning, so we got with other elders and went caroling for about 4 hours and saw tons and tons of members and friends. Everyone answered the door except one. It's funny because we sang the same song, "Silent Night," each time. We got Burger King too, and it was lit. We got transfer news, and I'm staying in Exeter, CA. Elder Quigley is leaving, and I'll be with Elder Kes...

That's Why He's The GOAT

Anywho, sorry if this email isn't my best work. This week was good down here in Exeter! This week was fun because we talked to lots of people! However, it's so hard for some reason to find people to teach. People will talk to us and stuff but aren't interested in anything to do with the gospel. But we've had lots of success with members and less actives. We went up to Three Rivers in the mountains to clip some goat hooves for a lady we've been teaching, and it was fun! I would grab and wrangle the goat between my legs while the lady, Ashni, clipped the hooves. It was fun until the goat got bored, looked up at you with a blank stare, and tried munching on your shirt. Later, we helped with the chickens, and I got pooped on, of course. I remember when I was younger in school, we went on a field trip to the OKC zoo and had a "zoo snooze." We stayed overnight, and it was hype! Anyways, I remember going into the bird enclosure and getting pooped on by some parro...
