Volleyball Tournament: Me vs. President

Don't worry I spiked it on him but he took it well. 

⚠️LENGTHY EMAIL WARNING⚠️

This week we had a little play date with all the new missionaries and President Coleman, that was so fun. We played volleyball and group games, so sick.

It's been a good week! I will actually tell you about the missionary work in this email so I can show I'm actually working:

Mario: Mario has been meeting with us for two weeks and was raised in a lot of different religions but is looking for truth and a home. All the things we have taught him he says make sense so we told him to obtain a witness from God, he says he is trying and to be patient with him 😂 nothing we can do about that haha

Felicia: A media referral who accidentally called us who then opened up and shared she is trying to restart her life, so we said lets get you baptized, and she agreed so we have been working with her a lot! We gave her a church tour and she said "As soon as I walked in this room, I felt like this wave of something." And she started crying and told us she needs to be here. We agreed.

David: David meets with us outside his front door like twice a week, he has taken all of the lessons so far very well. This last time we met with him he shared about how he's really been struggling and wants to change his life. We felt inspired to pray with him right then, then afterward he started talking then grabbed his chest. We asked if he was okay, he said: 

"I don't know what's happening, I feel like I want to cry, and my heart is like on fire. But it's not bad." 

We testified that's the spirit of God telling him what we are teaching is true. Pretty amazing.

I've been blessed so much in my life from interacting with others, these friends we are teaching are experiencing the joy that comes from a sincere desire to find truth. It has been changing me and will continue to do so. 

Still there's a lot of funny things that happen which make my days.

Thanks for all your support!

Xue Hua Piao Piao *GONE WRONG*

  

I know what you're thinking after reading the title: how could our favorite traditional Chinese song go wrong? Let me tell you.

I saw some Mandarin-speaking Elders that I'm friends with in the mission office. So naturally j sang my favorite traditional Chinese song. Elder Yang said really loud, "Elder Dahl! You have perfect pronunciation!"

Then my mission president poked his head out and said "Noted."😭😭

They're low on Mandarin speaking elders and now that president thinks I have an affinity for Mandarin, it's not looking good. 😭🙏

Prayers please.

This week was awesome, we found so many people! We put some people on date for baptism and arm wrestled some guys! (Videos in album)

Spiritual thought:
Something from conference really hit me. I think it was Elder Bednar, but I can't remember. They said, essentially, the Spirit knoweth all things, but Christ still chose to feel all of our pain so he could succor us according to our individual pains. 

In my mind that presents two options: Christ could suffer for our sins and then know how to succor us according to our pains, or he could suffer both our sins and our pains. He chose the second one out of love for us. That is incredible. 

Alma 7:13 talks about this:

13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

⚠️⚠️Try To Bulk Challenge⚠️⚠️ Level **IMPOSSIBLE**😭


"Those eggs were a lie Stephen, a lie! They gave me no eagle powers! They gave me no nutrients!"

This week has been so good, we did a lot, but for the sake of my character limit I will be concise.

My good friend Atari is getting closer to baptism which is so awesome. What's cool is he love anime and Juice World so he's basically me but with dreads. 👦🔥

We are teaching a guy named Mario which is cool, he likes counter-tops.

My companion is really good at reverse moonwalking which is so cool (video in my album).

⚠️⚠️We have been working so hard we forgot to eat dinner twice plus fast Sunday (hence the title). 🍛🍛⚠️⚠️

Spiritual thought:
I've been studying a lot about the nature of God as well as the second coming of Jesus Christ. One of my favorite things is teaching newly baptized members about the Second Coming. One of our friends, Sully (who has sweet long Grey hair), learned about it with us last week. His face lit up and he was so happy to learn about the hope of the Savior's coming in this scary world. Jesus really does give hope, in all senses, personally, globally, and for God's children as a whole. He's my Savior and redeemer.

Shoot me an email or sum I'm AFK when it comes to the dealings of home. 🙏🙏

Love you all,

Elder Dahl

Watching the Game

 
I'll start this email with another quote I find applicable:

"How's the game?"
"Don't bother me while I'm watching the game!"
-The Phone Call (some random church video that's super funny)

⚠️ EXTENSIVE EMAIL WARNING ⚠️ 🥶🥶🙀🙀🙀

What's up guys!

I have had a blast in Vegas, my companion is so awesome, shoutout Elder Landon. He's just a funny Elder, he will like say something and then do a high pitched voice and say what he thinks I'd say in response and just talk to himself, it's not real 😂

I have seen so many miracles, every single day it's just miracle after miracle. I'll talk about that in my spiritual thought at the bottom.

We did a service for Salvation Army at a Las Vegas Raiders baseball game, then my mission said to go watch the game, so we did it was so fun. Then this lady gave us $50 and said go buy dinner, it was so kind of her.

The assistant to the president (AP) went on a 3 day exchange with us which was so cool, he's so funny and loves me. It was a blast.

Spiritual thought:

One morning I was praying and I felt that we needed to talk to everyone with dogs that day, which was kinda weird, but I told Elder Landon, and we did it. Then he was on a call with a friend we have and I saw this chill guy walking with a dog, the only guy we had seen all day with a dog. So I left my companion (not too far so we were still keeping the rules) and talked to him.
His name is Atari and he was looking for something in his life, we had a little lesson with him then and then the next day we called him and felt prompted to invite him to be baptized, which is weird cause we barely knew him!

He said "I just remembered when I was going through something like a year ago I felt I needed to change my life and I felt like I needed to get baptized. I already was baptized when I was young but I felt like I needed it again, and here you guys are."

He has been learning so much, and we are working towards baptism with him and some others. It's so powerful that Heavenly Father knows everything and guides us to those that are prepared.

God loves you guys and he always has guidance for you and love for you. We need to seek it.

Send me anything cool you want me to see! I'll respond 🙏 probably next Tuesday.
