Full send is a godly term


Olá todos!!! How is everyone doing? Me and Elder Clark got a lot of good work done in beautiful Marble Falls this week! There was a few awesome times when we decided we just had to full send! 

Hello from Oatmeal, TX

The first time was when we were looking through our records and found someone who had been taught by tons of missionaries in the past, but eventually was dropped because she just wasn't progressing. We both felt like we needed to go stop by her and full send it. When we got there we started talking about how Jesus Christ is our advocate and that was exactly what she needed to hear! Somehow that had never learned that before and she loved that idea of how Jesus Christ, the person who knows us best, will be our advocate! Her whole attitude changed and she kept saying how hopeful that was! 

The next full send moment was when we put our friend Landen on date to be baptized during our first lesson with him! Long story short, he is 13 and lives with a foster mom in our ward who has brought him to church a ton, and then last week he came up to her and said he wanted to be baptized! She suggested that he meet with us first so thats what he did and we taught him about the restoration and then put him on date for May 2! So please pray for Landen 🙏 

Highlights ✨️
- Got some good inactive member work done 
- Ice cream for Jesus guy, dude we met that loves Jesus and ice cream https://jesusicecream.com/ 
- Went to a young mens activity where I basically had to wrestle my comp who is a state champ wrestler! Did not end well for me 
- Went on a Spanish exchange and I can understand Spanish now!! Just from studying Portuguese so much i can understand Spanish! 



Spiritual thought ✨️
For my thought today I wanted to go back to what we were teaching that lady about how Jesus Christ is our advocate with the Father. When we were teaching her that it also hit me how amazing and merciful that is! When Jesus Christ was in the garden of Gethsemane, he suffered ALL of our pains and sins. Because he suffered for all of them it also means that he knows all of them. Who better to be our advocate when we are judged than someone who knows us perfectly!! I am so grateful that Jesus Christ suffered for me and knows me! It is so hopeful and gives me so much joy!! I love helping other people experience that in their lives too! 

I love ya'll and keep reading your Book of Mormon everyday ❤️

  How's it going everyone!!! This week was so fun meeting everyone in my district! From the first class we all connected immediately and get along so well. Being in a district of 16 guys who all just graduated high schools feels like I'm really just back in high school hanging out with the boys. Being here for only 5 days so far just feels like I'm st FSY making a bunch of new friends! We love learning new portugeuse slang and our favorite one right now is muito bom. It literally just translates to very good and you do this snapping thing with your hand while your saying it! I also got made district leader on Thursday which really just adds a couple meetings per week for me and I have to lead a lot of the district council meetings, but other than that it's just really fun! Another one of our favorite things is to go play sand volleyball every morning at 7 am and we love challenging other districts cuz not to brag but we always beat them!  As well as me and my district h...

"That district is insane!" - quote from random Elder

  Bom dia everyone!!! I have now completed week two of the MTC! It was an awesome week  since I now know where everything is here and i'm just getting into the groove of everything here. My district is also still awesome and I'm also getting into the groove of being DL and remembering everything I'm supposed to be doing for that.  We still love to go play volleyball every morning at 6:40 and the basketball gym reopened this week so we started doing that as well. We love challenging other districts in both games and are still undefeated. All the guys in my district are like 5'10'' or taller, all except for Elder Morris who is like 5'6'' but hes one of the funniest guys. He's buff and we buzzed his head on Friday night, and he just says the most out of pocket funny things all the time! Plus, in portugeuse the r makes the h sound so we call him mo-hees. We also all got these random shirts from Elder Dawson because his dad is the principal at lone pe...

"This ain't my first rodeo!"

Sunset in Texas! First week in Texas and in the mission field is now complete! And I take back my earlier statement, it has felt like my first rodeo. But in a good way! It is quite different than the MTC and there is so many things I am trying to learn right now. I got a great trainer though and what are the odds he is also from Kaysville and went to Davis high! If any of you back home knew Clint Sanders he is now my trainer and he is awesome.  I do have a good story from my travels getting here that quite literally felt like riding a bull in a rodeo. So to put it simply my original flight here had an engine fail 30 min into our flight!! Everything was going smoothly until all of the sudden the plane felt like it slightly dropped and then it felt like turbulence on steroids! The captian came over the intercom and I only remember him saying "Stay calm, we have engine failure, fasten your seatbelts we are heading back to SLC!" So we went back to SLC and they got us another flig...
