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 of the Week: Angela Martelli!  She's a recent convert and she's kinda just waiting for school to start up so she's not doing anything so we had her for like 4 lesson team ups haha and she has such a solid testimony and it's so pure!  I can definitely feel the spirit while she testifies.

Spiritual thought!: Lately we've been trying to implement a "no gossip" policy within our zone.  I think it's important to remember that whenever we talk about anybody or anything negatively or without respect, we diminish and destroy.  THERE IS NO ROOM IN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST FOR GOSSIP.   It simply can't happen.  As I've tried to implement this myself and see everyone as Christ sees them, I've been able to grow my love for everyone around me and I've felt more joy, upliftment, and light in my life!  I've only done this for a short amount of time too.. So I invite you to take an honest look at yourself and see if you gossip at all and focus on not doing that.  It will bless you.

Friends in Oakland!: Colton is progressing really well!  I think he'll get baptized in September!  He's praying to make sure it's what he wants to do though. 

Haoran is doing well, he's still praying to figure out when he should be baptized but he's definitely grown so much! 

We have a friend named Ruben who is a philosophy major and he goes WAYYY deep into things haha so it's a struggle to stay on course, but he hopes there's a God so that's a perfect first step!

Gowtham is still letting everything sit in and he's internalizing everything haha but he's doing well!

Have a great week!

Love,
