How 2 Beat The Sun In A Staring Contest

This week was good. We had a lot of opposition, also known as the sun. Speaking of the sun, we talked to this dude, and he was just sitting outside of these apartments staring at the sun. He told us that we need to stare at the sun too, so we tried and went blind for a second. He told us that the "elites" control the world and that we were being controlled by the elites. We told him about the Book of Mormon, and he kind of clowned on us and said, "Okay, I'm going to ask Chat GPT about the Book of Mormon." We told him that Chat GPT is run by the elites, and his eyes got really big! We should have messed with him more; he was a little punk. Anyways, he winked at us and handed us back the Book of Mormon. It's times like these where I'm like, "I love Fresno." I would never have experienced this kind of stuff if I never came out here.

Also, Deborah got baptized this week! She is literally a dawg! She was so awesome to teach and has an awesome testimony and will be a great addition to the Lord's Kingdom. She really loves me and Elder Stone, and we got her a painting of Jesus so she can sign her name for every set of missionaries. It was awesome because me and Elder Stone found her and put her on date the first day we got together.

Something I've noticed is when people keep commitments, they keep covenants. Every time someone has prayerfully read the Book of Mormon consistently and repented, they get baptized or pretty darn close. Remember to keep your covenants because there is power in those. You're literally connected to the Savior. When people leave the Church or go less active, they typically leave their covenants first.

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...

Free V- Bucks???

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...
