 Hey everybody 

I am writing an email.

DISCLAIMER

 In hindsight this is the worst email I've written in a bit 

and I've had some pretty wild ones so hold on to ur butts.

This is gonna be what the cool kids call a "pro gamer move" 

A wise man once said: "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you, never gonna see you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"

 

.

 

Spiritual thought: why do YOU go to church? I go to church to partake of the sacrament and to worship God. Remember what Dallin H. Oaks said. You only worship for yourself. You can't worship for others. Anyways give that a thought and let me know. 

*Ok I realize I don't really ever talk about my progressing people so sorry about that. Next week I'll give a full people email I promise. 

I'm doing missionary work I swear. *

 Sorry to the whole 4 people that read this. Don't cry. It's gonna be OK. Remember tomorrow is always another day, Believe in yourself, And don't give up. Follow your dreams, Work smarter not harder, Go against the grain, never let a man tie his shoe around you, never order the Beijing beef at panda express, say bless you when someone sneezes in your mouth, learn to sew, join the wnba and be a winner, look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful, drink more water, always touch that red thing at the bottom of the urinal for good luck, don't forget to smile, wake up on the right side of the bed, be the change you want to see in the world, if you wear socks to bed you're a creep

Here's as many pictures as I could fit in the email.

If pi is infinite, your phone number is in there somewhere. just saying 

This is a late boy email sorry about that. I'm going to choose my words wisely in this email as not to offend anybody. 

 Strawberry nesquick 

 Pretty sure nobody is offended by any of these things. If you are you're a wet blanket. What can I say.

Anyways I've come to the realization that I accidentally called one of my investigators greg when i meant to call him Joe. (The cool uncle) 

It's actually his birthday today pretty cool. He's turning like 63 or something like that he doesn't exactly look that old if you close one eye. There's this guy we’re Teaching who is the same age but looks like he's like 200 yrs old. Probably because he's a smoker and had like 5 types of cancer or something. His name is Stuart and he actually came to church. He's an absolute unit. And he loves the book of mormon. He freaking dope. Anyways he is also a very good cook and feeds us once a week. He said he wanted to adopt me as his son and had me and Elder Low sign his book of mormon. He wrote " the Utah cowboy" under my companions signature and "the Texas cowboy" under mine. He's so cool and we look forward to meeting with him. 

For this week's spiritual thought just give my mom a call and she'll give you some wise words or something I don't know. (706)-504-8635 you got this mom. 

Also elder Gong is coming and I'm gonna dap him up. 

Here's some stuff but I'm not going to number them they always go out of order 

happy birthday king (joe)

Fellow residents of the United states; 

Please help me. I am trapped in an endless cycle of miracles and blessings from on high. I cooked shrimp in a sauce pan and forgot that shrimp have tails. I spit the tails out. The shrimp were good. I will try again 

tomorrow. 

Shoutout to my mom for helping me learn how to ride my bike that one time.

 So that I could drive a 2021 equinox my whole mission. 

Janice baker, the woman we dunked on like Shaq in his prime, is having us over for Thanksgiving. And we're going to get catering from cracker barrell. Don't tell Janice but whenever I hear cracker barrel for some reason I think of macaroni grill which is where I traumatized myself by peeing on a barstool in like 2007. Anyways I think I've had cracker barrel like maybe once in my life and I remember there was one of those golf tee puzzle triangles and I remember I was too dumb to figure it out. So cracker barrel is not the kind of thing that I shout from the rooftops because I love it so much. Anyway I'm grateful that Janice is willing to feed us. Because we don't really get fed too much sadly.

Okey here's some food for thought: 

2 Nephi 9: 10. O how great the goodness of our God. People very much tend to focus on the negative things that God puts us through. But for the most part we live pretty joyful lives I feel. And we can also control the quality of our lives. I don't know who needs to hear this but maybe life is like when ur taking a warm nap and you're kind of overheating but not so much to the point that you're gonna die so you kind of need something cool so you flip over your pillow and it's just perfect enough to cool you down. Yeah maybe it's like that. Maybe there's a cold pillow out there waiting for you to flip it over. Keep thinking about that brothers and sisters.

Also feel free to follow me on Facebook. I post every single 6 months so it's a treat. 

I love you all so much.

 Hey everyone. People that I'm thinking about right now: 

my mom

 my dad, 

Glen, 

Anika,

 Braden Peterson, 

Troy. 

If you're offended that I'm not thinking about you right now, then I've got news for you: prepare to be offended a lot because I'm a selfish man and "I only love my bed and my momma I'm sorry."

-not stolen from drake

I also have this weird condition called nofriendsisusloseritus, and the symptoms are stuff like: not having friends, and that's it. So if you get the chance to email me go for it because I love hearing about how terrible it is to not be a missionary. 

I've had a terrific week fellas. I think more people have asked if I'm related to George Bush then my whole life, dawg. 

We're teaching this man named greg and he's an absolute unit! He reads the children's book of mormon every day because he's eyesight is too bad to see the other book of mormon, and he has a cat that he orders around like a dog. She's a really sweet cat. I still like dogs more. Anyways we committed Joe to baptism so that's a cash money time I believe, we just have to pick a date now!

I was telling my mother that I have gained a real testimony of prayer over the weekend. Usually people don't like answering phone calls from random numbers BUT the Lord has other plans bro. Everytime we would call someone that was not likely to pick up, they would answer. And one time I I prayed while calling someone and they didn't answer but then a few moment later, they called right back. And we had a didgeridoo of a conversation, mate. 

This is the Lord's work, why not involve Him in it right? 

I promise as a representative of Jesus Christ Himself and under His direction and through His power, that if you pray before stressful times, than He will answer! Also don't take my word for it. Try it yourself. I have faith that at least one human being will read this far down in my email and see this and say to themselves: "yeS. Imma do this thing that he's talking about." 

I know the book of mormon is inspired revelation and I know that the Bible-exceptsongsofsolomon- can help you feel the spirit every time. No offense to all those songs of solomoners  out there. It's a cool poem. 

Now titles for most likely out of order pictures:

Friends and family I miss you all.

Send me a picture of what you are doing right now.

If you don't I will virtually punch you in the throat.

So anyways I'm out here baptizing a buttload of people yardy know. Anna is on date, which is baller, and I'm trying to get Tom in the font but he is a stubborn old man. I really like him though. 

So a couple notable events that have taken place are: 

I said a 36 minute long prayer to get out of weekly planing. 

I recited the first vision to a kid named Caleb that wants to get baptized.

Fell asleep at least 7 times a day. 

Made an incredible BLT

Had a mission-wide zoom about general conference.

Almost finished the book of mormon in a month 

Looked for Bigfoot with brother Honeycutt.

Here is the backstop behind that last one^^

So brother Honeycutt is like 70 years old and he is a very outdoorsy type of man. He makes hawk and owl boxes, makes bows out of hickory, he smokes on a pipe, tries to shoot squirrels with a pellet gun, and also tries to catch Bigfoot. In his backyard which is basically like THE WOODS pretty much. So yeah the sisters wanted to talk to sister Honeycutt but brother Honeycutt can be distracting sometimes so we needed to get him out of their house. So this is what ended up happening. In the end we found Bigfoot and brought him home and cooked him up and it was pretty good. 

Brother Honeycutt is a very weird man. He's kind not all there but while we were tromping through the brush, he was all of the sudden like "AHHH CATCHME" And he fell backwards and I had to catch him. And he said something about how he wasn't as athletic as he used to be. After that he fell down like 5 more times and I thought we were lost but he eventually got us back to this fence that was like 5 feet high so we got over pretty good but brother Honeycutt got stuck with one leg over the fence so I just like lifted him off the fence and like set him down on the path. And we walked home. So if I had a chance to do that again I would probably definitely not so yeah. 

Also like I said I've been doing a little reading in the good 'ol book of mormon and here's something I found. In 3rd Nephi 10 we see the phrase "like a hen gathered her chick's 4 times within 4 verses. I thought a lot about what that means! What does Jesus Christ gathering you under his wing mean to you?

 Also happy birthday to my mom dresden Bush she is the best mommy alive I don't care what yall say

Thanks you for all your support 

Love, Elder b

I am writing you an email to tell you my address is 111 henley place Smithfield NC 27577, just in case you want to send me a bunch of good treats and toasters and stuff. Anyways things are going great here in Smithfield. Me and my companion have found so many people that don't want to have Jesus in their lives! There's only so many people in Smithfield so maybe we'll find all the bad people first, and then all the good people next. So yeah NC is a good place but I sweat all the time. I am always a sweaty man. Sweating in the gym and sweating in the chapel. The humidity makes me wet and sweaty more than I care to admit. Also I feel like a receptionist for a doctor or something. I'm always making calls and texting people and setting up appointments. And then people here absolutely loooooove to talk so I've heard a buttload of stories about drugs and preachers and anything else that's troubling them.  OK cool so now for some bible time. So here's something interesting, and I know I said bible time but INTHEBOOKOFMORMONNNN there's this verse, in Alma 32:32 where it talks about how to know if a seed of faith/knowledge is good, it grows. "32 Therefore, if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away" so comparing that to ourselves, if we grow its good. A lot of people like to look back and be like "ugh cringe" when they see something in their past, like Bru that means you've grown, and it means you're good. According to Alma's knowledge. So yeah next time you see a cringey thing you did just know that you're probably doing something cringey right now that future you will be disgusting by. Hope that helps. OK so here are some pictures that will probably make your eyes bleed:  1: comp drip 2: we picked up trash in the wally world parking lot 3: Janice!! 4: gluv 5: "call me apple chancery cuz I work with the font" 6: animal fact

 My friends hello. I've seen miracles happen here in NC. It's really easy to get lost in reading emails so I'll try to make this brief. Elder Low and I are about to baptize nations so be ready. Today I went and balled up at the church. Dunking on sinners yessir. We also taught a lesson to Bryan who's getting dunked (baptized) on the 13 of Nov. So that's definitely a win. Also I heard things back home are going a little crazy. I hope everyone is doing OK. Anyways I have a southern accent now and I'm always eating chicken. There's a billion chicken places to eat. I guess it's just what grows here. 

Yeah so I'm definitely having a rough boy time getting up on time even though it's been like a month I'm still a tired man all the time, but the Lord definitely strengthens me and gives me comfort in times of need. I also taught a man who thinks democrats are the AntiChrist so yeah that wasn't very cash money of him.

I love Jesus and I love the Book of Mormon
