Dressed in White (Ch6: Lake Wheeler, W6)

 April 29, 2026

And it came to pass in the sixth week of the fifth transfer Alexander Young was baptized!!

On Wednesday we had an exchange just for the day so Elder LaRose could do baptismal interviews for Sky and Alex. They both went well, unfortunately Sky was not able to be baptized last Sunday. He has a super strong testimony and did well in his interview and there are no worthiness issues or anything. Everything was looking really good but on Saturday night something came up but for personal reasons I will not share he won't be able to be baptized for a few weeks. He also had some other opposition in addition to everything else. His car broke down and when he went back for it the next day he couldn't find the street it broke down on. Fortunately he did find his car the next day. Unfortunately it was later towed and a lot of other unfortunate bad things have happened to him. He still has a strong desire to be baptized and I am excited for it to happen eventually!

Alex was baptized! He also faced some serious opposition. The devil really hates people making covenants with God. Alex's car broke down. His phone stopped charging. On Friday night we thought his car was working and his phone was working. We didn't need to teach anything so we weren't planning on going by but last second we felt like we should set up a lesson with Alex for Saturday night. Because of this we were able to find out he needed a ride to church and we coordinated one for him! And the member we invited to his lesson had an extra phone they weren't using anymore that he was able to give Alex on Sunday!

Some other things happened but honestly they don't really matter and I'm too lazy and tired to type it all out. It's been a long, busy, exciting, and good week.

I love y'all!
And thus ended the fifth transfer

Church History Museum Visit

My mom and I made this collage for a scout requirement. My mom accidentally put the wrong year on the picture. These pictures are actually from our trip to Utah last December. It was 2015. For scouts I need to write about how this experience helped me feel reverent or helped me better understand my duty to God. It helped me feel reverent because it has historical and religious stuff and only historical and religious stuff. And modern day religious stuff. One example was a replica of the golden plates. We got to lift it to see how heavy they were. They said it was 50 pounds and it was REALLY heavy! Also, I got to see a video that had my Grandma Lynn in it. It was about the early members of the church who were trying to decide who the next prophet should be after Joseph Smith died. Several people had a really strong spiritual experience when Brigham Young began to talk to them and the Holy Ghost helped them know that Brigham Young should be their next prophet. We also went ...

A Story From When I was LIttle and Other Stuff

Recently I have been interested in hearing stories about when I was little. One of my favorite stories that Mom told me was about when Ammon and I were little and we would hog the bed. She said that I would come get in her bed over and over again. Dad would carry me back to my own bed, but I would always come back. She said that even though I was small, I would take up ALL the space. Somehow I could make my arms sprawl all over the queen sized bed so there was hardly any room left. When Ammon also tried to get into Mom and Dad's bed it was even worse. Sometimes Dad would just give up on having room and he would go sleep on the couch for the rest of the night. Right now I live in Craig, Alaska on Prince of Wales Island. All of my cousins are in Utah and all of my grandparents are also in Utah. I miss them and am going to visit them in just a few weeks for my baptism. I am inviting all of my cousins, grandmas and grandpas and maybe some of my uncles and one or two aunts. I already ...

Chapter 2: Siler City North Carolina (Week 2)

And it came to pass in the second week of the first transfer of Elder Shadel in the North Carolina Raleigh Mission... We got stopped by cops!! It was super fun! Apparently we were peeking into car windows from the quadplexes (duplexes but there were 2 on bottom and 2 on top) all 3 of which are a solid 50 feet minimum from the cars. And someone didn't like that and called the cops. Elder Walker and I don't remember looking into any cars but we must have because no one would ever make a false report to the cops. The cops were really chill and we got stickers! A bunch of the people came out to see what was happening and we offered to share a message with them but no one wanted to talk about Jesus. Other random things that came to pass: -A dog bit a whole in one of my pants which is mildly annoying but it's just a small hole. -Service is fun! I like farming and I love goat milk Gelato! Yellow jackets aren't fun though  -I found some random ties laying around! -There are so ...
