Holy Toledo...

Holy Toledo.

What a week it was indeed. Started off with interviews with the man, President Clark and with Sister Clark.  Hot dog are they the best!  They love all the missionaries and they will do anything for us. Sorry, but we got the best ones out there.

We were able to meet with both of our investigators this week.  The Marine and his wife are so amazing.  We got to go down on the Marine base to their house to teach them. It was one of the most spirit filled lessons I’ve ever been in. We brought a member with us and he was clutch, like he always is. And man the Spirit was flowing and so were the tears. We taught about enduring trials with faith and that’s what gets you through it. So good.  I was so happy for like 3 days straight afterward.

Then we had the Starks go to a baptism on Saturday after we had dinner with them and then we had dinner with them again on Sunday at a member's house and we played games and had a great time with them.

Today we had a Zone breakfast and I introduced the wonderful creation to them of PB&J sandwich pancakes.  They loved it, of course. Then to make things even better Pres. Clark took us out to lunch at Hapa J’s (a Hawaiian restaurant) and I got Man Fries! What a guy.

This week was just awesome, beautiful weather…we saw some dolphins as we were on our morning run down on the beach trail.  So blessed to be here.

Love y’all. Have a great week!

Not a lot of time today.  But this week was a good one.

The high school put on the show Mary Poppins and we took our investigator to it and it was sooo good.  Mary was played by someone in our ward and she was stellar.

We had another game night and dinner with the Starks and they are just doin awesome. Yesterday was amazing, we did a district fast for the people we were teaching and to find new people, and we had 4 new people that we never met come to church!  One is a marine and he hasn't been in awhile and his wife is a non-member.  But we had lunch after church at a members house and then we taught them and they are awesome! Looking forward to teaching them, plus he said we could go on base to see him! So cool. 

That’s about all the time I have today.

Love y’all, have a good one!

No pictures this week forgot the camera, sorry y'all.

*This is a picture that a member sent to me this week with the title; "We love Elder Crump!"  Made this mom happy :0)

Stellar Week

This week was stellar.

Started off with FHE in the park and we did an Easter Egg Hunt with the stake. It was nuts! So many little kids running around being crazy. It was fun though.

We had Zone Conference and it’s always good to see President and all the homies. On Saturday we got to go on a temple grounds tour with our investigators and President came too! While we were walking around the temple our investigator said that she wanted to be baptized! What the what? So that was a riot. Each time I’ve taken a temple tour with somebody they've gotten baptized.  Just goes to show you how powerful the temple is and how blessed we are to have one so close to us.

That night we went over to their house and we played games, it was sooo funny! We played this game where you put this thing on your mouth, it’s like the thing the dentist puts in your mouth to keep your mouth open, and you have to guess what your teammate is saying. Holy Cow I was rollin on the floor laughing my butt off!

Anywho, Easter was awesome.  We went to bishop’s house for dinner and just had a fantastic night. Christ lives.

Love y’all. Have a great week.

Awesome week!

Hello, Elder Crump here and another pday, feels like I was just doing this yesterday...

Anywho, this week was awesome! We had a couple of Zone meetings.  One was at the stake president’s house which is enormous, so it’s always a good time there. We got to help a lady with a move this week and it was crazy, she had soooo much stuff!

On Saturday we had Chris's baptism!! It was amazing, lots of support from the ward and the Spirit was there. President Clark came to support too, and that guy is the best ever. He stopped off at Albertsons on the way up and bought me some peanut butter and some bread? I haven't heard of a Mission President that does that except for this guy.  Stud!

Yesterday we had a lesson with a part member family, the Starks, and it went so good! We originally started teaching the 12 year old but yesterday we found out that the mom was reading the Book of Mormon and she gave up coffee cold turkey last week! We taught a lesson on the temple and Brother Stark said he wants to get sealed to his wife in the temple, and she wasn't opposed! So y’all know what that means! Yahooo! Cool to see the change in them since we first started teaching them until now.  That’s what the gospel does, changes people.

But that’s about it for me this week.  Hope you have a good one! Love ya
