Subject: Eli Whitney is pretty cool. He invented the cotton gin  Listen up kids time for a song.  This is called the ballad of last week So last week me and Elder Yardley where walking up and down a side street off the 301 in Smithfield, we were talking about how someone left a toy bicycle on the hood of a truck. All of the sudden. I hear a kids voice: " we want to hear the word!!!" We looked back in surprise to see three teenage dudes approaching us. I think they had been following us.  Anyways they later told us that if we had been Jehovah witnesses that they would have made fun of us. Thanks goodness we're in a good Christian neighborhood.  So the kid that was the most interested was Luis. And Luis we later ended up teaching while he and his brother were leaning out of the bedroom window of their house. Pretty sick. Anyways Luis has a mustache and he's like 16ish or 17.  And that is the end of the story.  You know sometimes I envision a time and a place where all can roam free and not be judged about how many boxing gloves they have. If a man has more than two pairs of boxing gloves I think people might judge him. So maybe don't. Maybe he has them for an unknown purpose. Milk Here is some reasons why I came on a mission: ********************************************* I wanted to bless peoples lives I knew I should I love the church  So I could say I did. Here is some reasons why I stayed on a mission: ********************************************* I saw the massive amount of good the Gospel of Jesus Christ can do in a persons life, and I saw the mediocrity of living without it.  Friends.  Family.  Noah. I want to bear my witness as a missionary and a full time disciple of Christ. That you can't fake the spirit. I cannot deny the confirming testimony of the spirit, that Christ lives today. That God loves you, and that you are never too far gone. There is always a way back. He will welcome you with open arms, and so will I. Joseph Smith was a prophet. And the book of mormon is true. I can never accept, that God stopped talking to us.  This is me being uncharacteristically serious, but I believe with my whole heart that this is the work of God, and if nothing else, I'm trying my best.   Like Elder Holland said, answer your questions don't ignore them, but first and foremost Fan the flame of your faith. And if your testimony is wavering a little bit, I invite you to lean on mine. He loves you. Don't forget that. No captions today, I'm going to sleep in my bed. With my blanket and my pillow.
