What's up everyone Elder Monson is back! Here's what happened! We had 3 baptisms it was super cool and spiritual before last transfer ended.. and then also last Sunday, not yesterday, we had one for our friend Fabio.. 

Now, you might be wondering why it says call me Daddy.. good question. I am training right now I've got my first son. His name is Elder Hardin, like James Harden but less cool. We are working super hard and seeing lots of miracles! 

One for example: one miracle is one day 2 or 3 months ago I was walking with Elder Torgerson on divisions just beasting away. And then Google maps told us to turn left. We did so, and a woman stopped us while walking asking if we could help her because her daughter was kidnapped. We asked her to write her name and her daughters down and we'd pray for her and send texts checking up on her.. well. Right after thus conversation google maps told us we had been going the wrong way all the sudden?? Maybe it was a coincidence maybe not but qe sure were lucky whatever it was.. About a month ago she came up to me as we were walking somewhere (I didn't recognize her) and she started talking about how they found her daughter, I immediately recognized the daughters name that we have been praying for and was so excited our prayers had been answered and she was found. We are now going to baptize this woman, her daughter that was taken, and her twin sister this week. This is the Lord's work that he is directly involved in.

Prayers: One of the most humbling things is listening to a prayer here. Teaching them how to pray, and when they do the grateful fors always outweigh the please bless me/us.. and the please blesses are so that they may have food the next day, so that they can be healthy and continue to live, so that their family can grow and learn and be okay. Sure does make me feel guilty for all those prayers I said asking where the Jazz could please win or that I could get what I wanted for Christmas I'll tell yall that much. It was been really interesting to see my own "needs" change too in prayers.. what I feel I need or want help with in my life or the lives of loved ones. 

Well everyone I'm sorry I haven't been that good at emails, respond with a like or a comment if you would like to start seeing more and we'll see what happens. Love you all and until next time...
-Everyone's favorite, Elder Monson

He ended up having a fun young man offer to pick him and his companion up so really cool Yezzy (Kyna West shoes made by Adidas) in the US they go between 395-550$.  They were excited to get them back and have many plans to wear them for a upcoming baptism.  He mentioned he had a couple baptisms cancel early Sunday morning because they were sick and at the hospital so they are hoping to get them on for this coming Sunday.  Can't wait to hear from him.
