Sacrament drum off

Hey! It's been a pretty good week, slow, but still good. (: I was talking to This man Richard one day this week, and he was telling me he was going to come to church for sure this week (this being the like 27th time he's told me that and never came) then he said church would be a lot better if we had 2 sets of drums. Then for sacrament we could just have drum offs. I thought it was a rather killer idea, and think I'll suggest it to our branch president.  Thanks Richard. (;

We saw Alex quite a few times this week. He's doing well, we played ping pong one night with Alex and our branch mission leader and his wife one night. It was great. It was good for him to hear the testimonies of some people other than us. (: Unfortunately he got sick Saturday night and had to cancel on church. ): hopefully this week though.

Emma and Stephen are still getting ready for their wedding. Good people. (: excited for them to get married already so we can start teaching her again. 😜

Not really sure what else to tell y'all... we met a couple new friends this week. One is Nathan. He's a major bro. Me and him are super similar and we talked for ages. Hopefully we can see him soon. He's having a rough time. ):

I had a hecka good day on Tuesday. Ive been trying different ways to contact people, cause people seriously don't like listening to us. On Tuesday I saw a group of 4 kids doing some flips and stuff, so I joined em! And it was the best time. (: haha I had so much fun with those dudes, doing flips, and they all said they'd check out Mormon.org. So that was real fun. I'll send a video or two. (:

(If you are reading this blog via email, you'll need to log onto the blog in order to see the videos.)

I bore a testimony similar to this in sacrament yesterday, and thought I'd share it with yous. (: so there's a book by Bear Grylls called "Facing the Frozen Ocean". It's about Bear wanting to cross the Atlantic, starting in Canada all the way to Scotland in a tiny little boat called a RIB. I think it stands for rigid inflatable boat. Or something. Anyways. It's a tiny boat, has no cabin, and is only like 10-15 feet long. It's hecka small. And they are completely exposed to the elements. Bear had a five man crew for this expedition. So they start cruising, and they run into some insane weather. They face multiple massive storms. And they are all just absolutely terrified.

Bear talks about how in the middle of that storm that he has no control over his fate, how he was comforted. His dad passed away a couple years before, and bear talked about how he felt the presence of the "unseen crew" as he described it. He could feel his dad, and he could feel Jesus Christ there helping them. Way out in the middle of the Atlantic. I know that our Lord Jesus Christ is so very aware of each one of us. Whether we are in Kaysville Utah (yeah boy), Wales, China, or anywhere else. The lord will be with you wherever you go. 

Please don't forget that even if you may feel like your crew is only yourself, and it's you on your own, there is always the unseen crew. Our loved ones, and the man that we can put complete and total trust in, Jesus Christ. He will never fail us. 

Also if any of you are having a hard time, or a looking for a killer book, I highly recommend "facing the frozen ocean". It helped me through a really hard time. I know Christ lives! I know he is with each one of us. I love you all!
