This week was so awesome! it was a little crazy, but a great week just the same! We were able to set both Maurice and Darren with a baptismal date! They are both just golden!! Golden people golden!! 

Darren came to church this week too! He loved it! So Darren is a personal trainer and it was hilarious. After the block all the youth were coming up to him to get workout tips. It was so cute! He just loved the attention from the youth and all the members who were just so welcoming and loving towards him! This ward is so great!

Maurice is progressing so well, he and Darren are both set for December 10th, anyway, Maurice is just awesome! He always talks about how the gospel makes so much sense even though it shouldn't, the gospel isn't logical but it just makes sense to him. He's just so cool. 

Shane also come to church this week! He's awesome! He is hilarious, he's gone on this no carb diet but loves chick fli a so he always wants to go get shakes or lunch with us and his girlfriend Sister Gregory, but chick fil a has carbs! He also wants to make a rap video with us! He's hilarious. He gets half off at a local brewery and he got wind that we love root beer, so we now have a 24 pack of victory root beer, which is so good! 

We had Zone Training this week and as always it was a spiritual party! We just had the spirit so strongly as we studied and learned together! District meeting was really good this week as we talked about helping our gators make their dates. Just so awesome!

The highlight meeting of this week was Mission Tour. Elder Cordón of the 70 came and spoke to us about making the most of our missions. He compared our mission to a mini life. It reminded me of something that Elder Robins told us when he was here he said "Everything you demonstrate in the mission field you will demonstrate after the mission." Elder Cordón spoke about the same things with a mini life. What we do now will impact the rest of our lives. He also talked a lot about writing our tags on our hearts, do we need a tag to be missionaries? To grow close to Christ? To study everyday? Is Christs name written on your heart? 

We had a way cool service opportunity this week! We did some work with a place that does drives for Syrian Refugees, so our stake has been collecting for weeks on end the most random stuff! We got a ride with a member and went down there for a few hours to help with packing and loading and shipping! It was so cool!

We also went to King of Prussia mall on Monday (a half P-Day) and got some way cute clothes at a British store call Primark! So cheap! I almost died because they had a Jamba there! Mm so good!! 

The temple, oh how I love the temple. It's so awesome! We went with Sister Seaman again today and it was just so cool. We had names of these ladies that were so ready. It was a full day too, we did Initiatory, endowment, and sealings! It was so fun! The sealings were cool because we were able to be sealed for the ladies we went through for! My girls name was Annie, and it was such a cool experience to be proxy for Annie. It was one of the most spiritual experiences I've had! So amazing! 

Ps, not writing again until Thanksgiving ☺️

Well I love you all! I love Philadelphia! I love mission life!
