| D&C 31:8 "And you shall strengthen them and prepare them against the time..." Thank you Elder Turley for showing me that through the Light of Christ, we can not only share it with others, but amplify our own. Exchange Miracles happen 😂 — with Gavin Turley. ( Elder Vang) November 19th |

Dang it feels like yesterday that I was writing one of these... I guess that is what happens when you are enjoying missionary work. It flies by.
I need to tell you how thankful I am for Elder Lindstrom (my companion)... Oh man me and him have so many good laughs. We are both super childish so we have a good time and crack a lot of dumb jokes with each other and we just are constantly laughing.. What a time
But man this week has Been AWESOME! I don't even remember what exactly happened each day but there are 3 days that I want to talk about... Friday and Saturday.
TUESDAY-- So we went to mutual to get closer with the young men because they need some loving... But then we were walking around and I realized the young women were combined with the keystone ward (my first area in the mission) (my home ward). And so I got to see all the moms that loved on us as missionaries and the young women that hopefully didn't love on us as missionaries...
FRIDAY-- I went on exchanges con Elder Vang! I freakin love this dude. He has a CRAZY story. He knows 5 languages. Mong, Japanese, Korean, English, Spanish.... And yes in that order. He is a straight stud and we definitely bro'ed out. But he is a very young missionary so it was fun to talk with him and tell him stories about the Mish and just talk with him. Also this exchange was probably one of the most spiritual exchanges my whole mission... Elder Vang and I taught a couple lessons and man WE TAUGHT. and then not even with people we were teaching but with each other. We had such dang spiritual talks with each other... (I may have made him cry... In a good way tho) the gospel is true.
SATURDAY-- So today we were still on exchanges with the Elders but also we had our branch activity. And we did a cultural night. Probably the most fun I have had at an activity. There was a TON of food. And then people did different acts and dances and singing after wards.... From Mexican dances to Nicaraguan dances. Oh and I got to try a lot of different food... I tried this drink called "cacau" I don't know how to spell it. But it was pretty good. But the best part of the whole activity was honestly 2 things.. We helped past out drinks and man I just love people. It was good for Me to meet a lot of the members. And then after wards. When we were all cleaning up. They were doing karaoke and so we were just jamming and having a good time and we were all dancing. It was so much fun. I was definitely cultured... Haha
so tbh my spirituality level right now is probably like 17/10 haha but freal. my studies have been dang good lately and i am loving life and the gospel. but this week Elder Lindstrom and I did something that was soooo cool. so we have been working on hope lately... so we have really been studying it lately and what it means in life... and so obviously we all have our struggles in life and our stresses (except me because i live stress free) BUTTTTT lately i have been thinking about the future and after the mission and all that ~fun~ stuff. but i have been kinda stressin about school and future family and jobs and all that. so Elder Lindstrom and I went into our patriarchal blessings and in our journals we wrote down every single blessing that is stated in the blessing...like everything single thing that is promised to me. and so we both wrote down our things, but it was so cool to see how many things are promised to me personally in my life. and now to tie in hope..... with all these stresses in life, EVERY STRESS was answered by these blessings.... the future family, the schooling, the mission, EVERYTHING. and and so it is just my job to act in faith in this life and have hope that i can achieve all these blessings. and i know that if i am living and following the gospel then everything will be fine. so now i ma back to being stress free....
love, your favorite missionary (hopefully) with the name of
Elder Gavin Karl Turley
