  YOO back at it again with another gmail!  I hope yinz enjoy reading these because I know they can get repetitive and stuff but if yinz have any ideas on how to make em better definitely let me know cuz I'm tryna make this more fun!! BUT HERE WE GOO!!! Beef of the Week!:   Dr. Pepper... I know it's so good but because of Dr. Pepper I ruined my almost 1 year streak of no soda!  Soda is so bad for you, like ever since I've been out here I've gained such an appreciation of the body God has given me and I want to treat it with the utmost respect and care!  So I'm getting back on the grind, no more soda till I'm home. Mark my words. Babe of the Week!:  This week Shamika was SOOO DOPE!  She's a new friend we found last week and started teaching!  We gave her a church tour and showed her the baptismal font and she LOVED IT!  She expressed her desire to be baptized and then we had a powerful restoration lesson right after.  She is so aweso...

IDEK Anymore...This is Happening too Fast!

Sup yinz!  We out here in the BURGH but I just wanted to express my love and appreciation for each of yinz, I know life can get hard sometimes but keep pushing!  The Lord loves you and your efforts, so don't give up!  NOW LET'S GET STARTED! Beef of the Week!:  So last week I think the beef was stop lights or crosswalks or something, but this week it's the buses! I wish we had bus passes so we could like follow people on the bus and keep talking with them but we'll be having a fire conversation with someone then their bus comes and they dip... SUPER SAD! Babe of the Week!:  CHAZZ! He's a Pittsburgh legend!  He owns a little corner shop that sells Pitt merch and like everyone knows him. He's had it opened for like 30+ years!  But he absolutely loves missionaries and whenever new ones come in he gives them free shirts!  So I got a super swaggy Pitt university shirt!! Spiritual Thought!:  This week I want to talk about keeping an eternal perspect...

Yinzer sundae! 🍨

 YOOOOO what is up everyone!!  The weeks literally fly by soooo fast!  So I wanted to quickly recap it.  My good friend Jaggur got home from his full time mission and he served the Lord well!  I went on an exchange with Elder JJ and I saw a LOT of growth within him during the short time we had together and I learned a lot too!  Harry (my best asian friend) is leaving for Illinois for school tomorrow and I'm sad.. ALSO!!  I got to attend (virtually) the temple rededication for the Washington DC temple because we are in that temple district until the Pittsburgh temple comes!! Beef of the Week:  This week my beef is with  light signals lol. We just trying to do the Lord's work, and we'll get like a prompting to go talk to someone, but the light signal holds us up and they end up walking away or hopping on a bus before we can get to them.  It's sad but I just hope I'll see some of those people again so I can like fr say what up to them! Babe...

Time is Flyin By!

  Hi everyone!  I hope this email finds you well! I've had a very fast, fun week!  I love the work so much, I wouldn't trade it for the world!  We had MLC this week which was so cool to have a room full of missionaries and mission leaders and just receive so much revelation for the mission and how to further move the Lord's work!  Also we had a couple exchanges so that helped the time go by fast... Beef of the Week!:  This week my beef is with Elder Sattler.  He's a greenie in the 3 rivers area and out of nowhere this week he sent us a video of him barfing for like 20 seconds straight... Not. Cool. Kinda lame but it's okay we survived haha Babe of the Week!:  Lowkey this week the babe is the sisters that we share the ward with!  They made us homemade bread and they take funny pictures of us while they see us talking to people on the streets!  I like it because I don't take enough pictures so they come in clutch! Friends in Oakland!!...

Hail Pitt!!!!

  What's up everybody!!!  I made it to Oakland, and it's soooo cool!  I'm on Pitt university and there's another college called "Carnegie Mellon ''.  It's like a sister university to one in China so there are a lottttt of asian students here and it's cool because a lot of them haven't even heard of a God!!!  I'm in a YSA ward and my house is a 30 second walk from the church building... My house is tiny and beaten up and old but it makes me feel like a missionary so it's fine ahah. Beef of the Week!:  So this week's beef is HEAVY headphones, earbuds, airpods whatever.  We walk the streets for 5-7 miles a day just around the city for like 4 hours and talk to random people, but it's hard to stop them and talk to them if they have headphones in because I don't want to like grab their shoulders to get their attention or anything but I definitely want to talk to them.  So I just think they're of the devil, so don't wear any...

  YOOOO what up!  I will not miss a week of emails at all on my mission! So here's one from last week haha.... I just found out that I'm leaving Hershey, and I'm going to be a ZL in Oakland! (like inner city Pittsburgh) so I'm super excited! Also my new comp was my first DL so I'm pumped about that! Beef of the Week!:  Lowkey I've been beefing with the sun! It's always making me super hot and blinding me and when we go sit down at a park to make calls or anything it doesn't let me see my phone because it's too  bright!! It does give me a nice tan though  ️ Babe of the Week!:  This week's babe has got to go to the Nielson triplets and Scott Mason! They're in the home MTC rn and I'm just so proud of them and excited for their journey! They're great men and I look up to them a lot more than they think!! Keep killing it guys!! Spiritual Thought!:  So this week I was studying so many weird things for our district councils "Jeopardy...
