First person to correctly identify the source of my subject line gets a prize !!  Subtweet Elder Parker Brooks! Love u buddy!  Cooking up an even more agressive storm than usual. Gotta fuel the muscle I am trying to grow. Plus after almost 4 weeks of living here again I discovered that our apartment gym has a bench press (is that even the right name I am such a novice) it just looked kinda odd (yea I know I'm dull sometimes) so YA GIRL HAS BEEN DOING BACK SQUATS 4 DAYS #sixmonthstoSTRONG jeje Other than that, each moment is positively amazing with my dreamy compa, Hna. MOORHEAD  Someome  Slow Down This  Clock ugh I loVE THIS TIME IN MY LIFEEE so many jokes and so much singing and we support each other in developing uplifting and righteous habits. Cool!  In other news: Had a fun exchange with Hna. Bateman! Got to explore the beautiful Casa Linda.  Learned about deep love, goat milk soap, a town called Snowflake, AZ, an...

Hermana Lindsey Moorehead Dangit  I! love! Her!  How did that homie upstairs knowwww I needed her precisely in my life. She is a rockstar, dudes.  Just so you can have a little better understanding of our relationship:  - we are in sync w/ LITERALLY everything - she hugs me when I have melt downs and feel sad for no reason :,)  - she is ravenclaw, I am gryffindor - we already made plans for friend dates post mission. Incl. International travel - she WILL be singing smooth jazz at my wedding, and will be my bridesmaid, too. (if I ever get married lets get real lol i have zero plans rn ¡no se preocupen!)  Wow. What did I do to deserve this phase of my life? I have struck a patch of ☆mission blissss☆ Being back in Garland has honestly been so miraculous, transformative, and healing for me. Especially after some deeply gruelling times leading up to this point.  A reflection:  Satan will usualy work REALLY HARD to have u...

Feels really special being here in Garland during this milestone. Kind of feels like my mission journey has allowed me to travel in a huge circle. After one year of this refining, purifying experience, I seem to have found myself exactly back where I have started,...

so context for this subject line: We met an absolutely lovely woman named Estella on her porch the other day. Absolutely delightful company. She was mentioning how her son was "penoso" (really shy) and I related to her, saying that I used to be pretty shy when I was young, too. I told her: "Hermanan, no se preocupe, a lo mayoria es nada mas una etapa!" aka don't worry hermana, it's probably just a phase! at that exact moment y companion just goes "are you KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW" under her breath  haha so funny  we had a really sweet week!! I have been listening to the New Testament in the mornings in Spanish and it has been an extremely delightful experience (thanks dad for sending me a speaker and thanks Hermana Sagers for allowing me to be that guy)and I have realized how cool it is that the disciples of Jesus Christ had a lot of transformation to undergo during their journey of discipleship.... I think it's really sweet. Like a lot o...

THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING!!!! I am learning to truly love Oak Cliff. Dallas is a special place. The south of Dallas is even more so, and I am settling in to the hood life a liiiittle too well :)  Hermana Sagers la a super special companion for me. She has truly nourished my testimony so much and helped me remember HOW MUCH FUN BEING A MISSIONARY IS!!!  i have loved every minute of this week. I am starting to realize the sacredness of this space, and this season... how blessed am I what in the world. Never thought I would say this about Dallas honestly.  hopefully y'all can listen to the attached voice files for more deets.  I want to share my testimony that I now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ lives, loves us, and is actively seeking to TRANSFORM us into new creatures, to be more like Him. Prove the Lord! Show your love for Him, even if it's weak. I promise you, he will rain blessings down on you as you put yourself in a space to...
