11 Months Tomorrow - I ran into a car door at my top speed

 Hey guys! Hope you’re all doing good. This week was quite nice. Hope you are all having a good time in your own lives as well. Let me know how things are going!

Litchfield Police Continued

So last week I talked about how the police dept here isn’t very fond of me because of how often I’ve gone over and asked them to help me with my visa for the Dominican Republic. The last words they said to me were to “go to the Dominican Republic and never come back” haha. So you can imagine how freaked out I was when I got an email from the church saying that I needed to redo my police letter because it wasn’t done right. Me and Elder Pugsley tried to talk ourselves out of having to see the police again but eventually realized that we had no choice. On our drive there we listened to depressing music about the afterlife knowing that I may not come out alive. We got there and before we even had the chance to explain ourselves the policeman came out, looked at me, pointed at the door, and said “get out.”.

Haha jk that didn’t happen. It was totally fine. There was a different police officer anyways so we didn’t end up bothering the same guy again. They reprinted the thing and gave it to me. It was pretty fun! The Litchfield Police department is actually quite awesome. We’re probably gonna bring them donuts right before I fly out.

Car Door

This was a pretty epic story! So last P-day, I ran into a car door. We had just parked the car outside of our zone leader’s place where we were gonna have dinner. Because it was raining so bad, I sprinted as fast as I could to get shelter. While I was sprinting, I was in the middle of passing by Elder Goodmans car door (don’t worry elder it wasn’t your fault <3) when suddenly the door came open (he was trying to get inside as fast as he could too) and I ran right into it. It mostly just impacted my right side but I was in a lot of pain. My entire right arm was dead and I couldn’t move it all. My wrist too instantly started swelling and I couldn’t move that either. Things were looking pretty bad. We called our mission nurse and sent her pictures of my arm and wrist. She said to go to the ER asap because my wrist may have been broken and if it was, it needed to be checked out as soon as possible so it could heal right.

Cool thing is though, me and the Elders here hold the priesthood of God! So before we went to the ER I asked the Elders in our district to give me a blessing. The blessing wasn’t anything crazy. It just said that I would be able to accept whatever news the hospital gives me and that I’ll be able to continue doing the Lord's work.

So we went to the ER and I walked up and was like “heyyyy so I ran into a car door....”. Anyways they took me into this room and checked my heart rate. For some reason when they hooked me up to it it started beeping really loud and faster and I was freaking out for a sec. So the guy just turned off the machine haha. 

Anyways they took me into the X-ray room. This was probably like 30 minutes after getting the priesthood blessing. I looked down at my wrist and saw that the swollen wrist was almost non-existent. It was wild! And while they were doing the X-ray I was just looking all along my arm and yea it was bruised pretty bad but I could move it and the swelling was almost nothing compared to what it was.

After the X-ray me and Elder Pugsley were both there waiting for the results and we were both just freaking out because I could move my arm totally fine! We were both really grateful. And sure enough the lady came back and said that there is no fracture or anything. It was such a big miracle! I was certain that my wrist was probably broken, and if not broken at least fractured. And I was in so much pain before. I couldn’t move it, lift it or anything. I even had to get the other Elders to help button my shirt for me haha. And then an hour later, it was just a bruise! Afterwards we said a prayer of thanks for fixing my arm. It was a neat experience. 

The Priesthood

Going along with that, I just wanted to say that my testimony of priesthood power is getting a lot stronger. We give people priesthood blessings all the time. I have grown to really love giving those blessings.

That’s one thing my last companion Elder Petrucka taught me really well. I remember when we were at a friend of ours and gave him a blessing. I ended up doing the blessing and I don’t know why, but it almost seemed like the spirit was absent from it. I was trying so hard to make it good, but my words didn’t carry the spirit because I was forgetting whose blessing it really was. It was the Lords, not mine. Then right after this we went to a members home and the dad asked for a blessing. Elder Petrucka gave it. It was just a couple short sentences. But by the end, everyone in the room seemed to be emotional. Elder Petrucka looked at the member, pretty aware of how short and simple the blessing was and said kinda apologetically “I was expecting it to be longer, but that’s all that I felt prompted to say.”. That really struck me. 

Since then, I have always tried to remember whose blessings they are. I listen harder than I ever have for the spirit to impress on my heart and mind what I should say. I know that I am a worthy holder of the priesthood, so that means I am entitled to the Lord's power when one of His children wants/needs a blessing. 

But yea we gave lots of blessings this week especially. In one blessing we gave to the member who is in the rest home, there were some things said that I really pondered during and after. It was something along the lines of “I know that sometimes it feels like God isn’t there, and he doesn’t care. But I promise you, although it is difficult to comprehend, the Lord is aware of you on a very personal level. Surely He who is aware of all that happens in the world is just as concerned and aware of the trials and feelings of one of His faithful sons”.

But yea the priesthood is super cool! Another cool experience was when we gave a priesthood blessing to a member who’s husband we’re teaching had to get part of his foot amputated. We gave her a blessing of strength and promised her that he would be back at her side sooner than she thinks. Then we got a call a few days later that now in addition to him losing his foot, his brain collapsed or something and he went unconscious and was sent up to Springfield for emergency care. I heard that and was like “well that’s awkward. Guess he’s gonna be gone a while”. But then all of the sudden he just went back into good health as fast as he had lost it and was back home sooner than any of us thought. Pretty cool! The Lord really does fulfil his promises! But it seems like he always does it in a way we don’t expect. I think he does it that way because he wants to see how we will handle the pressure of a situation where it looks like none of His promises will be fulfilled. And then right at the moment when it seems like all is lost, he comes and fulfills his word. But we will never see that he fulfills his promises unless we push through the hardest part with faithfulness. We receive no witness until after the trial of our faith (Ether 12:6). It’s just pretty cool! 

Piano stuff

Another cool thing was when we were visiting a member who is in a rest home. After our lesson we went out to the lobby and saw a piano. So we asked the lady there if we could play some music for the people there. And we did! It was pretty cool because back in high school me and Elder Pugsley would go and play piano at another rest home down there. It gave us both flashbacks. So we both took turns playing piano for these guys. I started off and there wasn’t anyone listening yet. Then Elder Pugsley whispered behind me. I looked at him, and he pointed up. I looked up and there was this old lady staring right at me from the balcony and it scared me at first haha but it was great. 

Elder Pugsley then played “I am a child of God” and a bunch of other really moving pieces. The member who we had taught came out to listen. By the time we were done all of the old people were crying. It was a great experience.

Jennifer

One of the greatest lessons this week was with a really awesome lady named Jennifer. We found her while visiting people whose addresses we have. She was happy to meet with us and we taught her the restoration. It was probably the best restoration lesson we have ever taught! She had the best reactions ever. She would gasp at the perfect parts and then when we finished telling her one thing she would be like “then what happened??”. It was SO good! During the lesson too she started to look pretty annoyed and was like “why hasn’t anybody ever told me this before!? I’ve been looking all my life.”. It was just a super spirit filled lesson and yet another testament to me that the work I’m doing is real. 

Austin

We had a great lesson with Austin this week. We’ve been out of touch for a while but we finally got something scheduled. We talked to him more about the Book of Mormon and how much it would bless his life. At the end of our lesson he told us that we blow his mind every time we visit with him. It was great! He said he would pray about if he should be baptized. 

Shawn and John

We had another great lesson with Shawn and Johnathon this week. They are so cool. We taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ but it took nearly two hours to get through the whole thing because of all of the questions they had. 

One of the coolest parts was during the lesson when Shawn interrupted and was like “alright, I can’t hold this question in any longer. But how long have you guys known each other!? I feel like there’s some deeper connection there. Like when one of you talks the other one seems to know exactly what they’re gonna say and then when one of you is done talking the other one is ready and it’s like you already know exactly how the other person is working. You just seem to work together and know each other super well”. I’m paraphrasing but that’s basically what he said. So to answer his question I pulled up a video I had saved on my phone of me and “Truman” in high school recording an ad for our bowling club. Jonathan and Shawn both went nuts about it. It was a good time. But it was cool to see how the Lord has used our connection to help other people come closer to Christ. We almost invited them to be baptized but decided to wait a bit longer. This week we’re gonna watch the restoration movie with them and it’s gonna be a good time! 

Transfer News

We got a call from our housing people yesterday that we are going to be put in a trio! So tomorrow me and Elder Pugsley will drive to St. Louis and pick up the new guy. It’s gonna be a good time. It will only be a trio for like 3 weeks though because Elder Pugsley is flying to Mexico on July 6th. But yea it’s exciting. 

Spiritual Thought

Just wanted to share another short testimony about the Book of Mormon. It is so true you guys! I can’t see how any intelligent person could come to the conclusion that it didn’t come forth the way Joseph Smith said it did. If you read it, you will understand!! It’s true! It’s the foundation of everything else I know!

I could leave the church and try my hardest to forget every spiritual experience I’ve had, but I could never deny the power of the Book of Mormon. And I see that time and time again with people we talk to. Even if they are struggling spiritually and question if they have a place in the restored Church of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon isn’t really the issue. And it’s because it’s true!

If you have a sincere question about the gospel, just ask yourself if the Book of Mormon can still be true with that question/problem in mind. The answer will always be yes. Just do some praying and studying and you’ll see that it all checks out!

But yea that’s our week here in Litchfield! I love all of you guys! My inbox is always open. 

Adios!

Pretty eventful week

 Hey guys!

This week felt like it was 5 minutes long but so much happened. 

Two Females

This story is pretty scary. So me and Elder Pugsley went to the lake by our house to do some street contacting. Nobody was even there, except for one car. So we decided to just skip rocks for a few minutes and then head out. While we were skipping rocks, we saw two girls our age come out of the car that was there. We always wave to people, so we waved at them. They started to giggle. I was like “ohhhh boy” so me and Elder Pugsley decided to go. We got in our car, and then out of nowhere, the two girls pulled up right next to us. My heart stopped.

They rolled down the window and were like “heyyyyyy what are you guys doing”. So we were like “uhhhhhh we’re missionaries”. They were giggling a lot and it was pretty nerve racking. So we decided to scare them away and teach them a short lesson about the Restoration.  

Long story short, we were both pretty shook. Why couldn’t something like this have happened while we were in highschool?

Anyways, we eventually coordinated a time for them, us, and our zone leaders to have a lesson at our church. It was a really awkward lesson. At the end they texted us asking if we were mormons and have multiple wives. I’ll attach a picture of the conversation. 

Anyways it was just a really funny experience for some reason. Just thought I’d share

Police

So, I finally got word a little while ago that I can submit my Dominican Republic visa application! But it’s been super confusing. To sum it up, I’ve been going to the same police station here in town a bunch trying to figure it out. I probably went in about 10 times and talked to the same guy each time. And for some reason, literally nobody knew what I was talking about. But I had nowhere else to go so I would just go back and try to rephrase it in a way that they would understand. After a few days I was able to get an Elder who had already done it to send me a picture of what his police form looks like. When I showed it to the officer he was like “well shoot (didn’t say shoot) I can do that”. Finally they got me the stuff I needed and on the way out the officer was like “Elder, I want you to go to the Dominican Republic and NEVER COME BACK”. I think he was mostly joking but I’m actually not totally sure. But it’s all good because now my visa is submitted!

Exchanges

This week our zone leaders told us that they would be coming down to Litchfield for an exchange. We were both super excited and wanted to tidy up the place. So before we went to bed the night before the exchange, we made everything look nice, decorated our apartment with lights, and decorated a sign that said “Welcome ZL’s to Litchfield! We love you!”. The next morning we called them to see what time they were gonna be there and they told us that they are actually going to have to cancel the exchange because of other stuff. We were heartbroken. 

We had a zone zoom call that night after hours to talk but me and Elder Pugsley were too sad. So during the zoom call we sat on the couch holding the sign that we had made. The ZL’s saw the sign and apparently it broke their hearts so they surprised us the next day and came for an exchange. It was a miracle. 

Funerals

This week was really awesome but it was also pretty sad. We had two active members of our branch pass away unexpectedly. So on wednesday we went to the funeral for one of them. Although it was really sad, I felt a lot of peace. I had many spiritual witnesses that she and all of us will be resurrected in a coming day. It was really sad on Saturday to hear about the passing of the 1st counselor in the branch. He’s been so good to us and will be missed dearly. During fast and testimony meeting there were a lot of thoughts on his passing. 

The really cool thing was that the wife of the man who died bore her testimony as well. She said that people were surprised to see her at church today. Her response was “where else would I be? On Sundays, I go to church.”. It was just such a powerful thing. She is grieving, but her conversion to the gospel is so strong that she came to church anyways. The gospel is awesome. But please keep the Litchfield branch family in your prayers!

THE WORK OF SALVATION

This week I’ve seen a lot of good things the Lord has done for us missionaries. We’ve had super elect people this week just walk right into us and it’s been incredible. Especially after several weeks of virtually no progression with our friends. Here are a few cool ones.

1. We were walking out of a lesson and waved to the cars that drove by (like we always do). So we waved at this one car and the guy pulled over, rolled down his window and was like, “yea what’s up”. We were like “uhhhh” but went with it. We got his information and have a lesson with him this week! And he seems pretty interested. Super cool.

2. As we were driving home the other day we felt prompted to go talk to a guy we saw sitting on the side of the street. So we parked and went to talk to him. He ended up not being interested but we were looking for dinner anyways so we walked into the Dominos that was right next to us. We walked in, and one of the pizza workers looked at us and shouted “can I hear about Jesus Christ?”. We thought he was just mocking us at first but he’s actually super elect and wants to talk with us. He’s really into religion but isn’t associated with one right now and wants to learn more. So we have a lesson with him this week. Pretty sweet!

3. We had just finished doing a service project at this place and as we were walking out we said “how are you” to a lady walking by. She instantly stopped and said something like “I’m all good thanks to Jesus!” and then started talking to us. She seems pretty elect too! Like really! She said that we have a glow about us and we really stick out. She wants to meet with us and we have a lesson with her this week. Pretty niceeeeee

4. We went to visit someone we’re teaching who has kind of been ghosting us. She was home which was great and we were able to meet with her on her porch for a few minutes. We noticed that there were two grown men inside (two of her sons) and we asked if they’d be interested. She said no, but we both felt prompted to still try something. So we asked if we could try anyways and she said sure. 

The two guys names are Johnathon and Shawn. They are ELECTTTT!!! We sat down and Jon was like “yea I’m ready to hear whatever you have to say”. He had seen the Book of Mormon musical and had a lot of questions haha. So we taught him and Shawn the restoration and it was such a spirit filled lesson. We both taught and testified, and you could feel the spirit move them. At the end they were like “wow, you guys are nothing like we thought you would be. You’re like….normal people!”. Then we decided to be funny and were like “just wait, we haven’t done our ritual dance yet”. They thought that was pretty funny. Elder Pugsley said that we left our maracas in the car and would have to go grab them. Ha!

5. Chuck is doing great too. We did some yard work for him this week and then had a sit down discussion with him. He says he feels like the Book of Mormon is true, but he’s a bit nervous to ask God because he’s afraid the answer will be yes. But he gave us his word that he would pray about it so we’re super excited for him.

There are some other lessons and stuff we had that were actually really good but those are some of the highlights!

Mission Life

We had a zoom call yesterday with the whole mission for departing testimonies. I was teary eyed the whole time. Missions really change people. Me and Elder Pugsley both were super emotional during Elder Powell’s testimony. I was with him for three transfers and Elder Pugsley was trained by him. It’s pretty awesome how much the mission makes you love people more. Reminds me of a poem I heard this week about mission life in general. Here it is-

A mission is a strange experience

It is a trial and a test

A mission throws at you the worst

Yet, teaches you the best

I’ve never been so happy

I’ve never been so depressed

I’ve never felt so forsaken

I’ve never felt so blessed

I’ve never been so confused

Things have never been so clear

I’ve never felt my Heavenly Father so distant

He’s never been so near

I’ve never been so discouraged

I’ve never been so full of hope

I feel like I could go on for forever

I think I’ve come to the end of my rope

I’ve never had it quite so easy

I’ve never had it quite so tough

Things have never been so smooth

Things have never been so rough

I’ve never traveled through more valleys

I’ve never ascended more peaks

I’ve never met so many nice people

I’ve never met so many freaks

I’ve never had so many ups

I’ve never had so many downs

I’ve never worn so many smiles

I’ve never had so many frowns

I’ve never been so lonely

I’ve never had so many friends

Boy, I hope this is over soon

Gosh, I hope this never ends

Love you guys! The gospel is true!

Three shouts for Israel

Here’s another update for you guys

This week was alright. Most everyone is still ghosting us pretty hard. It’s pretty frustrating sometimes. But it’s whatever. Still keeping on.

I don’t have much to say today. One highlight though is that one of our member friends gave a talk that we helped him write. It was kinda scary though when he went up to the pulpit and the first thing that came out of his mouth was “today I would like to talk about the reincarnation of Jesus Christ”. Me and Elder Pugsley both freaked out for a second but he ended up giving the talk super well. He’s a legend. 

We did find a lady to teach this week that was pretty great. We taught her the plan of salvation and she seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully she doesn’t ghost us this week like everyone else is haha

Despite most people ghosting us, I’m doing pretty decent. Doing a gratitude journal helps me a lot haha. But me and Elder Pugsley are having a great time and it’s a lot of fun to work together. I don’t totally know why the Lord put us in this place at this time, but in a priesthood blessing I gave him a while ago I felt prompted to say that we were always meant to serve together as mission companions, but we may not realize it’s importance for many years to come. 

So even though it’s hard to see the success that we’d like, I know that I’m giving it my all so I’m satisfied with myself. 

One spiritual moment was when we were driving past this cemetery and saw the cross and the sunset lined up perfectly. Me and Elder Pugsley went over and got some cool pics with the cross. Then we got a shot of us holding the Book of Mormon and we’d shout “Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah for Israel!”. It was epic. The gospel is awesome. 

Also a cool spiritual thing was that I actually understood Jacob 5 for the first time in my life and really enjoyed it. These really are the last days and I’m honored to have been called to serve in the Lord’s vineyard with Him. 

See ya

Hike

The field is white

Heyyyy

Hey again everybody

This week was pretty alright. The highlight was definitely learning how to shoot a carrot like a slingshot by just using my fingers. Elder Pugsley showed me this secret and I didn’t hesitate to use it against him. Pretty sweet!

I really don’t have much else to say unfortunately. We did a lot of missionary work. A lot of contacting, a lot of rejection, a lot of learning. It was a good time. Most of our friends we’re teaching ghosted us again this week but we were able to get back into contact with some. We also found two new people and they both seem pretty solid! 

My most spiritually moving moment this week was while listening to the “Saints: Volume One” audio book. I’ve read it before so I thought I’d just listen to it. So every morning I’ve been playing it on my phone while I’m in the bathroom getting ready for the day. I finished the book this week, and one of the final chapters recounts the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. I’ve already had lots of really spiritual confirmations in regards to whether or not Joseph Smith was a prophet, but this one was especially memorable. As I listened to Joseph’s last moments on earth, I just started sobbing. Like full on sobbing haha. I get teary eyed sometimes when I have a cool experience but this time I just totally lost it. Joseph Smith was really a prophet, and I’m grateful for what he did to help restore the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth. 

And it’s so obvious to me that Joseph was really a prophet. So why don’t more people believe it? And in addition to his prophetic call, why can’t more people see that the Book of Mormon is true, and in it, the fulness of Christ’s gospel has been brought back on earth?

The people who have trouble seeing this are always those that aren’t studying. They aren’t reading, and they aren’t praying. And if they are reading, they are putting their time and effort into sources that twist the truth and focus on the insignificant secondary questions instead of the overwhelming amount of positive truth. 

The scriptures describe the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be an “anchor” in our lives. As my good friend google describes it, “An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current”.

So an anchor is there to keep us in place when the “wind” comes. So isn’t it implied here that if the Gospel is an anchor, then there is going to be wind? Too often people lose their faith because of the metaphorical “winds” that come in our lives, but the winds and the trials are a part of it. So once you have an anchor, like Joseph Smith being a prophet and the Book of Mormon being true, then you need to let that anchor hold you in place despite the winds that come. And don’t let the fact that there are winds shake your faith. Winds are a part of the experience.

I just want to bear testimony to you guys that I have never been more sure at any point in my life that this is Christ’s true church. I always believed it, but I am seeing it more clearly now than I ever have at any other time in my life. I can feel the Lord shaping me into a better man and strengthening my faith. I really wish the whole world wanted to know that these things are true as bad as I want them to.

Anyways that’s about it this week! The mission is a very eye opening experience. I’m learning a lot of stuff. I’ve also started keeping a gratitude journal which has helped me a lot. Would highly recommend it.

Litchfield stuff - 10 Months & 1 Day

Hey guys! Elder Wride here with another weekly update.

Things are honestly pretty fantastic here in Litchfield with Elder Pugsley. Easily the best comp I could ask for. Except for the fact that he snores super loudly and I have to hit him with a lightsaber in order for him to stop, things are going quite nicely. 

I’m Handsome

At church yesterday these two little primary girls came up to us and kept saying “Handsome! Handsome!”. Of course I had to ask which one of us was more handsome, and they pointed at me. Elder Pugsley was pretty distraught over it. Jk. 

Sunglasses

Elder Pugsley has some really sweet sunglasses that I like to wear on occasion but he get’s pretty upset about it for some reason and made me go and buy my own. So at the gas station I bought a 15 dollar pair just like his. Then a short time later, we were leaving the car and I set my new sunglasses on the car seat. I had the strongest thought that I would probably sit on them later and break them, but I ignored it. Then an hour later when I sat back down in the car, my heart sank. I totally destroyed them. I spent some time later trying to bend them back in place, and they snapped. I was outraged. Not sure why I’m telling this story haha but whatever. It was my lowest point this week. Luckily I have the sweetest mother ever who took pity on me and sent me some money to get some new ones. Thanks mom <3

Teaching Pool

Our teaching pool kinda took a hit this week. Most people are just ghosting us. But we’re used to it haha. Mark is doing great though! He’s the greatest guy ever. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. But yea it was kinda frustrating this week having so many lessons set up and then everybody bailing right before. The adversary really works on these people. 

Spiritual Epiphany

We met some really interesting people this week. The more people I talk to as a missionary, the stronger my testimony of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ becomes. Most everyone believes in God, but the amount of people who actually live His commandments is a lot smaller. 

But this past week we were talking to this guy about the Gospel, and he said he had read the Book of Mormon. I was skeptical right off the bat, because based on my experience, anyone who’s truly read the Book of Mormon doesn’t talk about it that casually. Anyways so I asked him what his takeaway was, and sadly, he just wanted to try and disprove it. He said that he read about goats and that they didn’t exist in that time. I was pretty annoyed. This guy claims to have read the Book of Mormon, but his only take away is that goats prove that it’s false? So we were like “is that really the only thing you learned?”. 

The Book of Mormon has the strongest testimony of Jesus Christ that I have ever read. I can’t read more than a verse without it referring to him. I know it’s true.

So we left him a passage from the Book of Mormon to read and pray about. 

We talked for a little bit more and long story short, he won’t read and pray about it. It’s just so sad and frustrating. I know this Gospel is true, and the fact that others won’t humble themselves and take their questions in sincerity to God breaks my heart. 

It’s also just so interesting talking to these people who believe in God and nothing else. We talked to another guy and he was like “I’m catholic.”. We were like “great! Could we talk more about Christ with you?” and then he was like “no no no I’m not into that whole religion thing”. Like come on dude! Faith requires action! So many people talk about their faith in Christ but then don’t live it. They’re so focused on being saved that they forget what we’re trying to do is be changed. 

Another talk we had with this guy named Jason was great. He’s a super cool guy and we had a long talk with him about the Gospel. He told us how we’re the only religion he’s met that doesn’t talk bad about other religions. He also talked about how he’ll go to churches where their entire service is just talking bad about other religions (particularly members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Like aren’t we all here just to love one another and live the way that Christ did?

Anyways, I just had a lot of spiritual epiphany’s this week that really strengthened my faith. I know that this is literally Christ’s church restored to the earth. We have prophets and apostles like Christ did, temples, priesthood authority, and the list goes on. You guys should go listen to “What is the Blueprint of Christ’s Church” by Tad R. Callister. It’s pretty good. But yea this church is totally Jesus Christ’s.

But at the end of the day, the keystone of everything I know is the Book of Mormon. If you haven’t read and prayed about that book, you got to do it!!

That’s about it for this week. Hope all you guys are doing good. Ciao
