In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Very sad to see so many people moving away from religion because without it I would have to agree. My kings who read my emails, thank you for tapping on this one! Now I have to tell you the past 7 days have been rugged haha. It was a frigid week but I am so grateful to be in South Dakota because North Dakota got hit with a blizzard along with the cold. People were snowmobiling down the streets and lots of missionaries where snowed in for days. I heard some funny stories of people getting stuck which you can imagine haha. Anyways, transfers are tomorrow and I will be staying here in Belle Fourche as DL. That will make it 6 months here haha. We are getting a new ZL as well who was in my district while I was in Sidney Montana so i'm pretty excited about that! My last ZL is leaving in 10 days for Japan. Sad to see the king of the skinheads leave us but it is what it is. We had some sweet experiences this week but also got destroyed a lot haha. First I gotta tell you all about this gas station though. I mean the toilet paper is so nice there and the selection.... oh my it is great! No, I'm just playing. What I want to tell you about is that we are gonna convert the whole gas station. We found 1 person and gave them a church tour and when we went back to see her we found 2 workers interested. Then the other day we went in to see any 3 of them and found another person interested haha. They got Book of Mormons and honestly all of them seem pretty solid. So that was sweet! We also were knocking and found someone that is one of Mike's friends. Mike is who we do service for once a week who has the camel. He is sweet. He is a phycologist and creepily knows everything and exactly how you are feeling always. Haha he's kind of a therapist for missionaries. Anyways His friend Cody is way sick and is into producing music so when I told him I drummed he got excited. We will go over this week so that should be super mecha fire. Also guess what we got both of Elizabeth's kids on date for baptism now and we have another person we are teaching that told us she wants to be baptized as well so lots of naisu stuff going down. Also I need to tell you guys, I had a really cool opportunity this week. I went to the second funeral of the mission but it was a military graveside. The graveyard was huge and all veterans. They did the three gunshots over the casket and everything it was sweet. The man that passed was never baptized but had missionaries in his life and on his deathbed said they changed his life forever so all of the Elders in the zone were able to go to it (Sturgis SD, in case anyone is curious). We had some great lessons this week as well. But Easter am I right. That was awesome. This was my favorite Easter ever being on a mission. Understanding the meaning behind it made it alot more meaningful ha, who would've guessed. We had some amazing talks as well. If you only ever think of Jesus Christ as your Savior you're doing it wrong. I am sorry but you will miss the point. When you realize Jesus Christ is your older brother and is trying to help you and sacrificed everything for you it paints a better picture in your head. Although Its hard to build a relationship with someone you can't talk to. But when you picture him praying beside you to Father you can start to see the atonement take part in your own lifes. I mean a true inner self change to align your will with Gods... the desires of temptation and addiction fades only through the atonement of Christ.
