WEEK 21 FLOCKING THE FONTS AGAIN

Even though it has only been a few days since I last wrote, interesting things happened. On Christmas, we texted a bunch of non-members Merry Christmas and it was a pretty effective strategy and don't worry I already put it on the Venn diagram. One lady texted back a long text saying that she wanted to be taught by us and that she and her son want to be baptised! It's so much better when people invite themselves rather than us. Sadly we haven't had the opportunity to teach her yet but, we will hopefully soon.

 

That's not all folks. Yesterday while we were chillin in the car we were texting a guy named Raul because he was responding to our Christmas texts and he said to call him so we did. He told us some things have happened in the last months that has made him want to become baptised. We set up a time to come over Wednesday.

Pretty great week for people finding us. Love you all so very much and have an amazing, marvelous, astonishing, astounding, miraculous, prodigious, stupendous, surprising, wonderful, and wondrous week! And yes I used a thesaurus that we found dumpster diving.

WEEK 20-- 6 MONTHS OF MISSION: HOW DID I SURVIVE?

You guessed it. I have been doing the Lord's work for exactly 6 months. This brings up the question how did I survive? Only by the grace of God that's how!

It was a full week and a half since I last wrote. We had zone conference so that was good. It was about obedience so that was pretty good also a little scary. I also managed to get into two different zone pictures so that's epic. 

We had a Sunday night zoom devotional and got a good rebuking from good old President Rodarte. He said no more board games except on preparation day. He continued by banning movies except on Gospel Library or Church improved sources and they have to be on P-day. He told us to clean out our music to make it help us feel the spirit more. He also put a stop other things that don't really apply to me. It was definitely pretty interesting. 

The hard one is definitely the board games but, I found a solution.  Mariokart Hotwheels! We got some Hotwheel tracks and went dumpster diving for some cardboard and now we are building an epic Mario kart course. As a missionary, you have to think inside the cardboard box. Anywho it has been pretty fun and as a missionary, you get easily excited about dumb things. 

All of us in the apartment have been getting along really well so that has been good. We decided to make a Venn Diagram and it's basically all of the ideas that formulate in my brain that are either Epic, Maybe, or Biggest Dumb. Don't worry I'll leave a picture of it just remember to like, comment, and subscribe down below for free V-Bucks.

Thanks to everyone for all the Christmas gifts. This email is my Christmas gift to you. Hey, it's the thought that counts right? 

Love you all very much but, not as much as Jesus loves you though. Merry Christmas!

-Love Elder Clegg

WEEK 19 THE APARTMENT OF GIANTS

 

It was a pretty good transfer week. All of us in the apartment are really tall. I'm 6'3 and my companion Elder Byington is 6'4 and Elder Hansen and Elder McNeil are both 6'6 so we are the real big boys in the town. 

In Ward Counsel they asked us if we were being feed enough and we, of course, said yes then our Elders Corm President said no because I have lost weight so that was pretty funny.

It's been a good week getting to know some more bros. It's been less than a week and we are pretty good friends. They also think I look like Matt Damon so that is an epic plus. 

Have a great week.

-Love

WEEK 18 HAPPY PIZZA PIE

 

Transfers are tomorrow and I will be staying in the same area in North Las Vegas. My new companion will be Elder Buyington and there will be another new trio in our apartment so that's 5 Elders in one apartment or in other words pure chaos. If the downstairs neighbors didn't like us when there was 4 of us they won't like us almost at all with 5. Now I sing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" to the other Elders and wish them the best.

Brother Hodges is a old single member who lives in my ward and he's to say the least one crazy dude. He texts us poems that don't really make sense and texts us nonsense. The other day he called us up and asked if we wanted a pizza and we gave him the typical teenager response of Yes. He drove over to our apartment and gave us a yummy pizza and continued on his way wishing us a happy pizza pie. Basically the highlight of the week. 

We also found a homeless guy who was living in a bathroom stall at a park when it was dark. This was after we had some good ole McDonald's out of the back of our car at the park at night. Overall a pretty normal week here in Las Vegas.

Love you all but, more importantly Jesus loves you all.

P.S. I'm still the DLB

WEEK 17 PARABLE OF THE WALLET

This week I lost my wallet then found it again in an interesting way. I lost it on Thanksgiving and I couldn't find it so I thought I dropped it outside somewhere. I prayed a few times to find it. On Saturday night we were grabbing some Books of Mormon out of a cardboard box that we keep them in and there it was chillin' with the Books of Mormon. It was awesome plus it was a literal metaphor and parable. When you are looking for answers to your prayers search the Book of Mormon!

On a sad note Jeremi texted us saying "This church isn't for me" out of the blue and blocked our number and blocked our Facebook. It's pretty weird because he was progressing well and stuff and just randomly dropped us. Oh well. That's missionary work. 

On that same day, we had a lesson with a homeless dude at the park. He tried to prove why we don't need more than the Bible and it didn't make sense and he was all talk. He thinks he is really smart but, he is not really open-minded even though he told us to be. I don't know why we keep running into prideful homeless people.

Everybody have an epic week.
