8.20.2018 - Temples and Families

 Howdy everyone. 

Another pretty crazy busy but great week here in Lubbock.  This week we had an exchange with the missionaries in Plainview.  I went with Elder Blake. It was super sweet exchange, definitely the best one I have been on In a while. We go way back to the MTC. During the exchange we had some lessons,  found some cool people to start teaching,  ate some dang good Mexican food, and got to reminisce about life in the MTC (We were chumps.) Looking back about a year ago makes me laugh. It's incredible how much a year can change a person. We both wanted to work on setting goals so we both set some to realign our focus on our main purpose as a missionary so that we can finish this last year with a bang.
This week I also had the opportunity to go to the temple. It was great. I am super lucky to serve in Lubbock since the temple is 10 minutes away, compared to my past areas it was 5 hours away!! This week we also did some service for an investigator that we have taught the whole time while I have been here. We were helping him and his Dad in their yard. (all dirt) So the night before we were supposed to help them it put down some rain here.....so their dirt yard turned into a mud yard.....but that didn't stop them. We ended up basically just playing in the mud for a few ours. It was a good time!!
This week A.B. (our investigator) and his fiance were finally married on Saturday. I was so glad to see them get married. I've been working with him the whole time I've been here and he has definitely been my favorite person that I have taught while I've been out.  He is a G. Him and his son Amoni are getting baptized on September 1st. For the wedding they were going to keep it super low-key and not do much, but there was a member and his wife that moved in about 2 weeks ago that have been hooking us up and hooked them up for the wedding too!! They wanted to do a ton of things for them, so they went and bought tons of decorations and refreshments for afterwards and made their wedding pretty legit!! It was so sweet!! 3rd wedding I have had out here on the mission and this one was the best, thanks to Bro. and Sis. McPhee👌
Hope y'all had a good week!!
