Devenportation

written July 17, 2017

Hey all! It has been one pretty killer week. Elder Devenport is the flippin best. This is his fourth transfer and he is a great missionary, really hard worker and likes to have fun. Funniest kid too. 😂 so it is super great. He is from Payson Utah, loves Donald trump, and is a major hoopdy. It's the best. (:

We saw our good friends A and S a lot this week. They are both members struggling with addiction. S has made loads of progress since I met him. When I met him he was just completely hopeless and felt like he couldn't ever find happiness again cause he was just trapped by his addiction. But in just 3-4 weeks things have turned completely around. It's been amazing to see the light enter his life and even his countenance. It truly is amazing what Jesus Christ can do for us. Bring us from the lowest of lows, and help us feel that joy that we're all searching for. I love seeing people start, or start again to feel that. Nothing brings me quite that same feeling. (:



We got punked quite a few times this week, by people giving us fake addresses and stuff. It's been kinda lame. We've been talking to loads of people but none have really been interested. We are still seeing M though! The one who skipped on both baptisms last week. We had a great lesson last week, he's made a lot of progress, started believing in Jesus Christ and is looking to be baptised. He wanted to come to church but skipped out on that as well. All goods though. Hopefully we will be able to see him multiple times this week. We want to get him to a baptism this weekend. Good man.

My boy, Elder Cossa!

That's about it! A lot of my good friends went home this week. It was sad. ): my trainer elder Korth, the legend elder Cossa, elder Van Dyken, another Kaysvilleite elder carling. It was a lot of sadness. Good lads. Well I hope you all are doing well! Love you all!
