Letter dated 1 May 2023

Dear yall, This is it. Space, the final frontier (also, its my last week I guess I will write about more of my lessons this week since I feel like I only share about the crazy ones so I will share most of them in this letter Tuesday I felt prompted to reach out to the duces since we had dinner with them and something told me we need to come back to their area so we asked if they needed service. They said yes and through the service we actually met one of their neighbors which was awesome. Hopefully something come of it. We had a lesson with a member's father and it was awesome because his grandson helped us teach about the restoration and it was very sweet. We then had an awesome lesson with this guy who hasn't had God emphasized in life very much but he was really interested in learning more with us. Then he dropped us...... I'll live. We then taught a flames lesson with her friend Christine. Please pray for her as she prepares to be baptized 😎 Wednesday I went on exchanges with Elder Rucker and we helped this one lady get gas, jump her car, realize her car wasn't starting so the we pushed her car, convened with some members who pulled up out of the blue ad attempted to start the car with superior intelligence about man stuff than Elder Rucker and I, they gave up as well, and then we taught the restoration. Apparently she saw an angel or something that told her her to learn from the sisters but she was too busy before but is now willing to come to church so that was cool. Pray for her daughter, she is not doing well. I proceeded to eat the most amount of meat my body could handle and the meat sweats were powerful That night we played Mafia with the youth and I was a policeman. I was then accused of being in the Mafia and I gave this speech to defend my honor, "Brothers and Sisters of Israel, I have been a stalwart defender of the faith, in truth and light in this community this day. I have also been working as a policeman in thy defense and for thy liberty and justice, please do not kill me this day for you shall be in great peril, but God as my witness I have loved thee even as my Jesus has loved me. Then, they killed me and they lost. Thursday We met with this less active member who we found out is less active due to health reasons and apparently it had been several months since missionaries had stopped by. The reason we stopped by was because we prayed where we should go and he was very appreciative of our visit and we will continue to minister and visit with him. It was sweet. We had a great lesson with her and she is so elect! She understands the plan of salvation very well and was so excited to share it with her friends. It was awesome. Friday At district council I came up with a game on how to represent bringing the spirit into a home. I was the friend/investigator and one missionary was role-playing teaching me. Everyone else drew a card from a stack of Harry Potter uno cards. Whoever drew Harry Potter was chosen to be the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost can only whisper and everyone else is an evil spirit. I then played very loud music and the missionary (elder Miller) had to say the best option he heard about the response, "I am pretty depressed right now". He could only hear the vile responses which ended up with him saying, "you should listen to Juiceworld." (He is a rapper for those unaware). We then redid the roleplay but this time Elder Miller was allowed to turn off the music and pray which would cast away the evil spirits and bring the Holy ghost into the closer to the friend. It was very chaotic but very fun to do! Highly recommend for any Seminary/Sunday School teachers out there. We then called our friend Paul and it was a super sweet lesson. He is doing great! Saturday We built a wall to a chimney for a member. (I feel like a manly dude now Patricia Before then we taught this one family that we were about to drop if they didn't answer since has been 3 months since we taught them but then they answered so we got to teach them! We then visited a brother who had a miracle recovery and he is so solid! He is coming back to church and everything Vegan lasagna/Garfield destruction Then we had dinner with this wonderful family and they told us they were vegan but we were having a normal lasagna with meat and cheese and everything. On top of that it was probably the best lasagna I have ever had. After scarfing down a serving I asked about them being vegan. They revealed that the entire lasagna WAS VEGAN WITH FAKE MEAT AND CHEESE AND EVERYTHING!! My inner sense of being a Garfield fan was greatly impressed. Sunday On Sunday we were asked to share about missionary experience with the ward and talked about Branly and Jazmin who I met over in Pilgrim Mill. It was fun to share a mission experience and have other's be uplifted by it. We then taught our friend Kevin and invited him to be baptized and he agreed! He will be praying about a date but it was awesome to see his faith grow so quickly since I first met him. It was awesome! We then had dinner with the sullivans for my last time and it was really special. They are an awesome family and we got close Anyways, adios! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
