Milk....Does it Really Come From Cows?

 No really, think about it…. 

Out here with that runecrafting lvl 99 performing exorcisms on candles and confirming people with the Holy Ghost. This week has been full of weird things. Ha I don't even know where to start. Actually, Let's start with today. We have been in Rapid City all day playing pickleball, basketball and dinking around as usual and finished the night with some good ole tracting. Found one guy who was super sick and down to go to church and was very receptive to the resto and another that gave us his number and wanted us to come back. Today when I was in Rapid, I realized that literally no one even emails home. Just don't care about the homies that got to be uplifted by the ridiculous life of a missionary. That just shows how totally rad all of you reading are ha. While tracting this week we met one guy named Adam who opened the door and was blasting Hurt by Johnny cash. He said he sold his soul already and we just stood there confused. He proceeds to tell us, "one second guys" turned the music off and invited us in. Adam graduated with a bachelors in biology and is now working at a factory and watching over his about to pass away mom and her 4 cats. Needless to say he was very depressed and seemed suicidal to me. We started talking about the Book of Mormon and stuff and he was just like idk I've always thought the whole story of the guy digging them up and stuff was funny. We continue talking and he just stops us and asks for a hug so I hug him. After he said please come back again and when we walked by his house later he was dancing in the living room haha. Another cool story while we where in Newell teaching a family who will hopefully be coming to church this Sunday. I received a text from someone else we are teaching in Newell saying they have a very important question and she needs us to call. So we call and she says her neighbor practices witchcraft and gave her some cursed candle that her friend accidentally lit. So we go over take the candle and leave a blessing on the home with the priesthood power. I said 4 prayers during this exchange. One in the car. One walking up to the house to know if there really is a evil presence when I walk in. Didn't feel anything. One while my companion was talking to help me know if I am actually doing anything when I pray. And the fourth being the one out loud with everyone. Got the chills pretty hard during that one. Still don't know if there was actually something bad associated with that candle but they texted the next morning that they heard screaming outside their window in the middle of the night and as soon as they opened their front door it stopped and nothing was out there. If there was something bad and we cast it out it would go to the closest place that would accept it, being probably her neighbor. So still in the area or they are all just tripping because I didn't feel anything too strongly. Regardless, a cool experience. Also, I got my first Baptism!!! She got baptized on Saturday and turned 10 the next day. She was so excited and told us she feels like the Holy Ghost is sitting right next to her. Also got to help confirm her and help with 2 baby blessing at church which was my first time so that was good. Anyways I am about to pass out 😴. Read your book of Mormon! Don't be stupid enough to let the business of life take that from you. Pray in the morning and tell your Father in Heaven I am sacrificing my time to read this, bless me that I will have the time to complete whatever tasks you need to do and you will have time to do so. I am in the beginning of Alma now reading through my triple. Love every second of it. Anyways take it easy everyone.

Next week I got you with a video but this week just some epic Magic pics. And yes I destroyed running goblins that I definitely want to build when I get back for those this applies too. Got that whole family to church off of Elder Kroff some how pulling the dub against me at the end because someone else was running jace and I had 3 cards and he had 4 left in library 🤧. But because he won they had to come.
