This week has been fun.
Wednesday we had a meeting for District Leaders. That was fun. Some other things happened that day, but not a whole lot. Friday did exchanges and I was with Elder Mumm (One of the ZLs and one of my favorite people out here). We had a really good day. At like 6, we were both tired and we stopped in a gas station to use the restroom and when we were leaving, we saw these little packages labeled "ULTRA SUPER HIGH LONG LASTING ENGERGY" so naturally, we bought one each and went outside and popped them. We didn't read the flavors. His tasted like French Vanilla Coffee and mine was like Mocha Coffee. Then we read the back and there wasn't anything bad in them. We almost immediately started buzzing and like jumping around. It was crazzzyyyy. Then we went to a lesson with a less active who was having issues. We were very controlled crazy though. Then, the woman went to go pick up her husband from work so we give him a blessing. I turned to Elder Mumm and I was like we NEED to pray now haha. So we both went into the bathroom and prayed haha. We calmed down right away and went to give this blessing. Elder Mumm was asked to anoint and I was asked to seal. This time it was in English and this guy is very very weird and rough around the edges and doesnt cry at all. He was crying at the end of that blessing. I know it wasn't anything that I said or did. It was all the Lord. That night, as soon as we got home, the energy drink kicked back in. We literally started jumping around and yelling and doing pull ups and lifting weights and Elder Mumm Curled me and crap like that. Our puples were HUGE! I only had a really small ring of blue around all the black. It was pretty crazy. I didn't sleep at all! That stuff was really long lasting haha. The next day, we had a Zone Meeting about Obedience because we had been sucking at that as a Zone. As a Zone, last transfer, we found like 17 people. To put that in perspective, my first transfer in this area, Elder Snow and I found 18 people. That SUCKS! So we had a super spiritual meeting and I learned a lot from it. Then after that, Elder Dudley and I put our nose to the grinder and stated working really hard. We haven't seen anything crazy cool form our labors with people yet, but I think we will soon. It has been amazing to be working so hard. Spiritual thought for yall; "Prayer is something that humbles the soul. It broadens our comprehension; it quickens the mind, It draws us nearer to our Father in heaven. We need his help; there is no question about that...and for [this] reason we pray to him, that he may help us to live so that we will know his truth and be able to walk in its light" - Joseph Fielding Smith. Sorry for the long email.
Love yall!
Elder Stephen
