Hey there y'all:) how's everyone doing? I'm doing great! Newberry is
pretty sweet! We're coming a long ways from changing a Spanish area to
English, and building a pretty decent teaching pool. It's been a good
productive week!!

Well go Cubs:) fun fact C.J. Edwards, the pitcher for the cubs grew up
in the Newberry area, and his family is still in our ward boundaries!
He's planning to build a baseball facility here which would be dope.
Everyone here has been freaking out cause the hometown hero won the
World Series.

I forgot to tell y'all last week that we too had our chili cook off
lol. Every ward in the south seems to have one hahaha it was way good
tho! We had 19 different chilis there and we got to judge it so I ate
a lot of chili...and if you know me well you know I'm way good with
spicy stuff so it was way fun for me! I probably lost more water
weight from sweating than I gained from the chili haha. It was way
good tho and we got some investigators and less actives out to it so
that's all that matters:)

This week we did a ton of service for older people. We had one older
brother in the ward ask us to come help him, and when he got there he
said he needed someone to put in a new mailbox for him. I told him I
had some experience in fixing mailboxes and that I was the man for the
job!! My companions weren't too happy cause I did that while they

pulled overgrown tomato cages out of the ground lol

We went to an old guy in our wards house one night and he told us
about a cool calling he used to have. He was President Kimball's
bodyguard back in the day!! He told us about how he has met like every
prophet since Joseph Fielding Smith and a bunch of apostles and spent
quite a bit of time around them. That sounds like a pretty dope
calling to me!!

We had another awesome experience of seeing the people watching over
us. We had a lady that we helped give us a sealed card, and after her
insisting that we need to take it, we took it home and opened it.
Turns out she gave us $60 and wrote a note to us. We tried to give the
money back but she refused so we now have an extra $60...:)

With voting day tomorrow I would like to encourage you all to take my
advice. WRITE IN DALLIN H. OAKS. He will make this country great
again. Thank you:)

We have had so many experiences this week where we can feel people
watching out for us, and all of the faithful prayers blessing us, so
thank you all so much!<3 love you guys! Y'all mean so much to me and I
hope you are all well. Please be sure to share your testimony with at
least one person this week, no matter the situation or circumstances,
make someone's day! Love y'all.

Don't forget to Read and Pray!
