Workman, Luke

Hey everyone! I hope you had a great week. This week was pretty good, we had an oil change at the first of the week that took five-ever. We went on some exchanges and had some really good lessons with our friends. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be doing this work for my Savior Jesus Christ. This week we had a lesson with this guy that invited us to come back. So we get to his house and I sit down on his couch and we were small talking a little bit when from around the corner a great dane comes in and this thing weighs more than me. His name is Walter. Walter comes right up to me and turns around and sits on my lap. Have you ever had a horse sit on you? Well if you don't have a horse just borrow someones great dane, its the same thing. Not only was I getting crushed by a huge dog that was a little too eager to sit on Santa's lap to tell him what he wanted for Christmas, the guy we were visiting ended up being a Bible basher. I could only imagine what I looked like defen...

Hey everyone! This week blew by! We were able to put our friend Isaiah on date, which has been fun. My friend Sherry also got baptized on Saturday which was amazing to see her light and joy after making a covenant with God. We also had a big, almost emergency stake conference and Mark A. Bragg of the seventy came. They took some wards from the stake that I am in and some from the surrounding stakes and created a new stake! So that has been crazy for us trying to figure out where the missionaries should be going now.  This week we were walking back from talking to people at the beach. And we started talking to this surfer in the parking lot who was pretty cool but I could tell that something was bothering him as we were talking to him. Mid conversation he said "Do you mind if I..." and before I could answer him he had already dropped his wet suit. And he did not have anything underneath. But the best part was is that as me and the Elder I was with, sat there awe struck at what...

Hey everyone! This week went by really fast and I can't believe it's already monday again. This week was pretty good, we did a lot of finding on the beach and found some cool people, and had some really powerful lessons with some of our friends that are about to be put on date. There were also a ton of marines that showed up to church yesterday too which was super cool. Every tuesday we get together with some of the members of the stake and they bring their non member friends and we play basketball. This week I forgot to bring my basket ball shoes. I tore it up on the court in my dress shoe's and I got some blisters on the balls of my feet. The next day we went finding on campus for 6 hours. My feet were killing me and I was walking around on my heels the whole time. I looked like a mom who was speed walking out of the nail salon after getting a pedicure, and had just realized that her kid had early out that day. I would have killed for some Heely's to roll around campu...

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a good week!. This week went by pretty fast. We had a baptism in this new ward that I'm in and it was amazing. The spirit was super strong, and I am so happy I was able to be apart of it. We also had zone conference, so I was able to see some old missionary friends, so that was fun. We went on some exchanges and before I knew it, it was monday.  On saturday I was on an exchange and we were stopping by one of our friends. We then saw this guy watering his lawn so we went over and started talking to him. He was a pretty nice guy and we a good conversation about his lawn and then the conversation flipped on its head and he started this huge rant about politics. I'm not even sure how it happened but it just did. He started to get animated with his hands and started waving them around, all while the hose was still in his hand. The hose was on a mister so it wasn't too bad, but he kept spraying us with the hose as he was talking. when ever I want...
