Elder Pearson spittin some fire 🔥

Wow what a week!  This week was so awesome I'll share some experiences.

This week me and Elder Toledo have seen so many miracles from following the Spirit. We had to change our oil this week in our car. We went to Firestone and for some reason they wouldn't let us change it there. So we figured out there was one closer to our apartment but for some reason we felt like we should go to the one 9 miles away. So we got that fixed up and then we visited a less active right by there. The night before she had found her patriarchal blessing and was reading over it. The next day we knocked on her door and she started crying and told us that she needed to be back at church. 

Later that day we were out biking trying formers and street contacting. We took a wrong turn when going to visit someone and this truck pulled up to us and asked us where the nearest stake center was because he wanted to pay fast offerings. He was drinking beer and had a cigar but he said he is the best mormon investigator ever haha! Must be because he already pays fast offerings! Then on that same street we saw a kid biking around and we went and talked to him and got a return appointment. We went back and taught him and he came to church on Sunday. His name is Art and we are hoping to meet with him tomorrow with a YM leader and a YM. 

We had an interesting experience where we tried a less active and they weren't home when we were driving away we both felt like we needed to go back and so we knocked on the same door and told the girl that we felt impressed to come back and left her with a Book of Mormon. She is off to college so we don't know where that will go but I know we did what God needed us to do. 

We had so many other experiences like this where the Spirit led us exactly where we needed to be and I don't have enough time to tell all of them. This week we had a member of the 70 come, Elder Pearson. He basically roasted the people that weren't taking notes in the meeting but luckily I was haha! But he was amazing and I learned a ton of things to help me become a better missionary. I got to play the piano there so that was really cool!

I also gave a talk pretty much on the spot because I forgot but it all worked out! I love you all and hope you are on that 65 day book of mormon grind! I'm on page 67 right now. One verse I loved was 1 Nephi chapter 15 vs 14. At the end of it it says that we know how to come unto him and be saved and that is the doctrine of Christ which the book of mormon teaches so simply. 

Well that's about all for this week. Love you all and keep on keeping on! Read your book of mormon!

Questions from Mom:

Will you get an opportunity to go to the temple now that it is open?

We are going to the temple on May 8th!!! I'm so excited!!

 When can we expect to hear from you on Mother’s Day (what time)?  Where will you be?

 Oh wow, haha!  Mother’s Day is pretty soon! I will get that figured out and let you know 

What do you like best about your new area?

I love the members here! They all have kids which is really fun. None of my other wards really had young families but this one has like 7 million kids. 

What do you miss the most about Port Arthur?

 I really miss working out with the member at 5 a.m.  haha! Good times! I really miss Dallas family too. They were super awesome.

How does your current apartment compare to your previous apartments?

 Our apartment is really nice! Probably because we are in the city but it's awesome!

What do you and your companion do for exercise in the mornings?

For morning exercise, we go to the gym but if there is someone there we can't go in. And there's almost always someone there so we usually go for a run or something
