Buzzed and ready for BAMA 8/29/2022

What's up everyoneee!! This week has been one of my favorite weeks ever! I was shown that God really does love us and care for us more than we know. And he really does want to reach out to us as long as we put forth that effort and reach out to him.


Monday- this was my first pday in the actual mtc and it was so much fun! We started off by going to the temple with the district and that was such a powerful experience. We then played volleyball with the district which is always a banger and then we played basketball after with a ton of college hoopers and that was definitely so fun! I realized that I'm not as good as I thought at basketball. Later that night we all decided to buzz the heads up. And I'm loving a buzzed head haha. I don't look good but the fact that getting ready is that much quicker in the morning makes it so worth it.

Tuesday- idek what happened but we had class and I'm sure it was a great day. Sorry y'all but it just wasn't a memorable day I guess 😂 oh yes I do, we had to get tested for the Covids......and after a false positive I was able to reunite with my district and have a great day!

Wednesday- this was a ruff day for me. We had a lesson with a dude that was a devote catholic and I have no clue about catholicism so I kinda just sat there not knowing what to say and we just did not do the best. It was still a good day but that was definitely hard. Later in the day I was able to escort my buddy Grant and my friend tanner to their dorms and that was so cool being able to have two people that I knew to be here with me. 

Thursday- Thursday was a day where my district woke up and most of them were sick but it was still a good day. The classes were super good and felt the spirit super strongly. I also figured out that one of the elders in my room has dentures and idk why but I was laughing for a solid 20 minutes but love him alot! I was also able to hoop with my friend which was so fun. 

Friday- Friday i really saw God's hand in my life. We were able to teach another person and it went near perfectly! I felt the spirit so much and I knew he was helping me out. Classes that day were super fun.

Saturday- Saturday was our last normal class day at the mtc. We had our last class and it was such a powerful experience. The message that my district shares is so powerful. We also practiced street contacting and it was the most awkward I have ever felt in the mtc. 

Sunday- Sunday was a spiritual high for me! Church was super good and in priesthood I had to help teach the lesson. We then had a " Go and Do" experience which is basically a personal study for two hours. I was able to study about Christ and his sacrifice and I will be honest I started crying a little when I was studying. I felt the spirit more than I ever had. Later that night we had a last testimony meeting with the district and we will just say we could've mopped the floor with our tears haha. It was such a cool experience but so sad. I will be honest and say that I cried more leaving my district than when I said goodbye to my mom. Still love you tho mom! 

Spiritual thought- I know God puts people in our life for a reason. They can build us up and I've been able to experience that. I also know Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we can end up making it back to him! Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father love you so much! I love you guys!! Feel free to email me with any questions or just talking about life!!

Hope everyone stays safe and has a great week! I love you all! Jesus loves you all!! Cannot believe my next letter will be from BAMA!!! 

Your favorite Elder,
Elder Fox

Hey all, super dope week this week!! We had lots of members come do lessons with us!!!!! Lots of rejection, but that part of life.....we did find 21 people that's the most we have found so YAY. My new comp is pretty great, he is almost done with his mission, but im making him work hard, to finish strong. Went on exchanges yesterday I was with elder Fallas he is W he is a homie  Nothing really else, we did get fed more than one time this week that's a W for me. People think they already have Jesus, but I keep reminding them that  we need Jesus everyday!! Spiritual thought....Ezekiel 37:13-17 talks about he stick of Judea and stick of Joseph being put together which is the Bible and the Book of Mormon, if you are confused pray about it and read Ezekiel 37 it explains why we need both and why the scattering of Israel was necessary for the restoration. It's getting warm, so don't forget to wear sunscreen. Love you all, God Bless, have a great week. Happy Mothers Day to all ...

Saturday we had our BAPTISM......Sister Linda Davis entered the waters of baptism, her son Tom baptized her. She had to get baptized 3 times, cause the first time her son messed up on her name, then her wrist didn't go under, so third times a charm. I was in the circle when she got the Holy Ghost that was pretty awesome!! Also General Conf...

General Conference

Hey ya'll, how ya'll doing?? Hope everyone's week has been good!! Hope everyone is staying safe and doing good!!  I want to send this email regarding General Conference and my testimony of the Book Of Mormon!  I want everyone on earth and in heaven to hear the testimony I have of the Book of Mormon and the teachings it gives. I bear my solemn testimony that the Book Of Mormon is the word of God. That 531 pages of this book are true! They teach us all of the great doctrine needed in each and everyone's lives. My favorite verses from the greatest book ever made and translated is 2 Nephi 33:10 10 And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good Brothers and Sisters it...
