 "...He's back"👀

Oh shoot! Ladies and gentlemen... to quote Cornelius Fudge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix..."He's Back". Now, I may not be Voldemort but ya gosh dang right I'm back and livin my best life...for now at least haha! But honestly the last week or so has been fantastic! From the missionaries I'm around, to kendama, to the ward here, and much much more! 

But before we get into that, there's a recent event that has taken place in Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park to be exact, that has caused some civil unrest. As for my whereabouts, I am a good hour and a half from Minneapolis in a tiny town called Princeton, in the middle of nowhere in the center of Minnesota. My brotha Elder Hamby isn't so lucky and is actually in Brooklyn Center so keep them in your prayers that he and his companion will be kept safe! (I know you're reading this Dallin haha love ya bro.)

Anyway! Our friend Jillian accepted a baptismal invitation this week and is on date for May 1st! She is just the coolest and I have loved getting to know her and helping her strengthen her relationship with Jesus Christ! We are soooo excited for her. Keep her in your prayers as well that all goes according to plan!

We finally got approval to do service outside again a couple weeks ago. So my new companion Elder Allen and I put up a post on our local community boards asking if there was anyone who needs some outdoor work done and the posts blew up! The current stats are, 780 likes and 141 comments and 48 shares! Because of that we have set up so many service projects haha! It's sooo cool to help the people out in our lil town. 

Those were the highlights of the last couple weeks! Maybe one day I'll email every week. Guess we will have to find out next week! 

I've been studying a lot about faith this week, what it means, how we grow our faith, how we can strengthen our already existing faith, and what we can do with faith. Now I'm not going to answer all of those questions because I want you all to find the answers to them yourself; but as you ponder those questions, watch this cool video I made for our Facebook page!

(Give that a nice copy and paste or click to watch it or you can go to my Facebook profile and its got a quote by President Nelson above it and it starts out with Elder Eyring (bald dude with glasses). 

I leave you with this quote from President Nelson, 

"Faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest power available to us in this life. All things are possible to them that believe."-President Russell M. Nelson

I love you all. Hope you have a good week!
