A Stroll with the MP

 We had a zone conference. It was good. President Pulsipher's first ZC, so naturally it wasn't as doccy but that's alright.


First round of interviews too, turns out he wants to lose weight so we walk around the building and this time it was just getting to know me, and it was perfect because I love talking about myself (joke-not really)

President Pulsipher was reading this week in Alma 5. He LOVES asking questions in order to teach, the Savior did too, so I'm going to be teaching more by asking questions, like some of my favorite teachers. 

17 Or do ye imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord on that day, and say—Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you?" 

Do good works! SHOW you are faithful and I promise you Heavenly Father will show you just how perfectly powerful and knowledgeable of your situation he is 

Sincerely, 
Elder Lucas Witte




Fogata: bonfire (we roasted marshmallows)




For my birthday we got lifted free jerseys from our good friends (the latino in the black guillermo, and we are pretty sure Mohammad on the right isn't spanish)



Turns out - I shared a birthday with a good friend and member Rebecca, we celebrated together and ate SO MUCH FOOD. she is the best (and we got double cake)

Temple Attendance - Made my week.

 Hola!


Wonderful week. It was starting to be a super long week but I was blessed up by nature this week and found multiple trees full of fruit... and ate the fruit. (Sorry mom, but it wasn't that bad)


Speaking of eating fruit - that was only kind of really not that naughty...we were able to go to the temple with one of the recent converts in our branch!!!


It was mega revelatory and my following studies were amazing, and visiting with them were 2 old sister missionaries that were present when Alejandro was baptized a year ago!!


The Lord works in mysterious ways and prepares us for each moment. Are you allowing yourself to be prepared BY him for the second coming? And judgement day??



The one wearing just the white king sleeve shirt with his hands around his girl is Alejandro. Their love makes it very difficult to stay locked in missionary mode, let me tell ya.


Deseret book W..?



Fruit pt. 1




Fruit pt. 2 (immediately following a prayer for food) Fresh Cherries mom!


Exchanges with the district leader who has a broken knee, so we sat and ahem "grinded media" (the couch) while just having some deep talks for 8 hours...


Have a good week.

Sincerely,

Elder Lucas Witte

Oxygen Acetylene Bomb + First time Bucking Hay

 Well this was a 3 day work week so here are 3 things that happened:


The 4th was splendid, we had a branch breakfast and then went to this random wards Bishop's 19 acre property where there was yummy food, oxygen acetylene bombs...and if you see a video of a bunch of missionaries going down a 100FT. Water slide and my mission president or my mom asks you if the redhead in the video is me... it is NOT.  (I'm on the second run, BTW.)

I bucked hay for this family, it was a workout and a half but my brain just went "Porter Boyce + God's Country the song moment" and it made the time pass so much faster, it was SOOOO fun and I am sore.

Futuro Chorizo as we say.

Fasting testimony was good, the spirit brought to me Ether 2:12 and so I read and talked not just about the patriotism that I have, but also talked about how we are all the people of God! (Especially here in America) but anywhere we stand, if we serve God we will be saved, and delivered, just like Alma the Younger when I was reading in my personal studies!

Said goodbye to 2 of the best examples for me, one hermana went home, the other got transferred out.

That is all,
Enjoy summer camps and summer experiences!

Sincerely,
Elder Lucas Witte
