SOO Bound

 Preparation day was actually pretty fun. Who knew playing wiffle ball as a District would be competitive and entertaining. For some off reason I am so bad at wiffle ball. I could not make any connection with the ball and the skinny yellow plastic bat. I struck out more than I made a solid connection with it. We also had pizza ordered for us by the Sullivan's. Hawaiian pizza never disappoints. We left around 330 and finished up calling the homies. 

Small world story. On Tuesday we were at service with the Portland sisters. As we were eating lunch we brought up the topic where she was from. She is from Maricopa, Arizona. 

I was talking about how Uncle Duane had a dentistry there. She was like,"I don't think I knew him, I went to a dentist with all the pirates on the wall and it was called Treasure Smiles." I'M LIKE YO, that's Uncle Duanes! It was pretty crazy how that works. We went to the same dentist and now we're serving missions in the same district. You might not think it's that cool, but it blew my mind. 

Now I have to speak on a funny lesson we had on Tuesday. So we met up with our friend Michael Walters. One thing you need to know about Michael is that if you serve in Charlotte, you know who Michael is. He has been meeting with missionaries for three years. No missionaries ever really give him the time since he's a very slow learner, me being one of them. So on Tuesday it was the first time I met with him in the past two months. We sit down and he tells me,"don't try no cursing on me." I was like what?!? Then he explained how he thought I was cursing me and get into his brain. I asked why he thought that and he explained that when I'm teaching, sometimes my left eye twitches badly and it freaked him out haha. I'm working on keeping both of my eyes open at all times in the lesson now. 

Also on Tuesday, we just had some of the most Michigan interactions in my whole mission. One example is that a lady was laying down on her front porch bench listening to Jamaican music. The funny thing was that Elder Nelson and I didn't see her until we were about to knock on the door. It kind of spooked us since we weren't expecting a human to be there. I then asked her if she was religious, she replied no. I then said,"Do you want to be???" She said no. At least we tried. 

What a day Wednesday was. Elder Nelson and I found 4 new friends to teach all while door knocking in the rain. God loves effort! As I was reflecting on this past transfer, God has been richly blessing this area. Elder Nelson and I have found 41 new friends to teach in the past 6 weeks. God can mold anyone… including me! Into some of the finest instruments for His work. At the beginning of my mission, I really thought I couldn't lead or do anything without the help of my trainer or senior companion. Fast forward 10 months and I'm a completely new missionary. God magnifies the called!

We had so many sweet lessons this week. One I will share is with Courtney on Wednesday evening.  We had a powerful lesson explaining the Word of Wisdom. Elder Nelson shared his conversion story and the spirit filled the room. The kids who usually are running around crying seemed to be quiet. Such a heartfelt moment. We were on the verge of tears with what we felt in that room. We promised her very bold spirit led blessings that come from being obedient to God. Courtney was hesitant about the word of wisdom when we went into it, but as we left the spirit really worked on her. She is living the gospel.

Thursday I literally didn't even breathe. We grinded every second of the day. We had our dinner from 830-930 pm since we didn't have time to eat. It was insane. Teaching so many lessons and finding so many new friends to teach. We found 5 new friends to teach on Thursday which is pretty epic. For dinner that night we made some steaks on our stove top. Elder Nelson found a really good mashed potato recipe in his instapot and it hit the spot. Who knew two 18 year old kids could cook like this! 

We had another great encounter with our friend Michael. He is a slow learner so you have to be patient with him, but man is he funny. We taught him about prophets and it finally made sense after we did some object lessons explaining how prophets work. After he answered some of the questions we asked him, we hype him up so much. He was like,"Yeah I know! See I'm not that stupid." He pulled out his pen and paper and began writing. Elder Nelson asked him what he was writing down. He finished writing and underlined what he wrote as he said it,"I am not stupid." This literally made us all just start dying laughing. It was a had to be there moment,  but I had to write about it so I remember about this amazing lesson with Michael. 

THIS WEEK IS INSANE. Cool miracle we witnessed on Friday. We were going to meet up with an inactive member named Frank McGraw at the hotel he works at. We walk in and we bump into Melissa who has a temporary room at the hotel. We invited her to join our lesson in the other room with Bro McGraw. She happily accepted because she told us she needed a message about peace in her life. We basically taught the restoration to both of them again using the introduction of The Book of Mormon. Melissa randomly mentioned to us that she feels so warm, tingly, and happy. She has never felt like this before. We testified how it was God speaking to her telling her that The Book of Mormon is scripture. The inactive member Bro McGraw looked her in the eyes and bore powerful testimony that he knew The Book of Mormon to be true and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's New Testament Church. LETS GO! The Spirit was pulsating off us, God is real. 

This email is way too long, if any of you read this I love you. I have to mention another lesson with our boy Michael! We taught him only about 1-2 principles of a lesson and on Friday we taught him about Joseph Smith. Towards the end he looked at us and expressed how he wished he was in our shoes. It was so sad. He then told us that he wanted to start drinking since his liver is about to fail him. We then took one of his beers out of his fridge, a cigarette, a blunt, and a lighter he had. No worries, we immediately threw it away. This man is slowly repenting!

Shout-out to Brooklyn for making and sending me mint brownies. They were literally so fire.

This week can't get any more insane. We had a lesson with our friend Melissa and she accepted a baptismal date for June 18th! WHAT. During the lesson we were teaching and testifying, she randomly blotted out,"I'M FEELING IT AGAIN, I'M FEELING IT AGAIN." She was referring to the Holy Ghost. She is so amazing, we are very excited for her journey and her learning about The Church. The rest of the day on Saturday was legendary, we taught 10 lessons. TEN. God is good. 

We received our transfer calls on Saturday at 12. I am being transferred out and heading to the Sault Sainte Marie area. This is the only area in the Upper Peninsula. This is the closest area to Makinaw Isaland and the nearest missionaries are about an hour away. I will be district leading in this area. I can go on exchanges with elders now! My new companion's name is Elder Brecken Fonnesbeck. He is from Gilbert Arizona and has been out for 6 months. I am so excited to be his companion, but I will miss Elder Nelson so much :((. Also cool side note. I will DL over Sister Mamata again, she was the Tongan sister in Bay City who is a legend. 

On Saturday night we went out and ate with a man named Dustin Makenzie. You will get to know that name very well. He is very well known around the mission. He is a man that was baptized in the Sault Ste. Marie area about a year ago. He is the branch mission leader and he is an openly gay member. He struggles with some things, but absolutely loves missionaries. He drove all the way down from the Soo to eat with us at Applebee's. Bonus is that he even paid! Love him so much.

This email is very long. I apologize again. One of the most hectic weeks of my mission. Elder Nelson and I found 19 new friends to teach this week. It was phenomenal. The past 6 weeks we have found 53 new people to teach for the Charlotte area. I am sad I am leaving, but excited to bring the energy up to the Soo! 

I love you all so much. If you have gotten to this point, you can personally message me,"mission accomplished." I am interested in who actually reads and comprehends all of my emails every week. As always #FindTime4Me 

Watch Out Bus!

 What is up everyone! The start of my week was just amazing. On preparation day we had a zone pday… over Zoom. It was really awkward tbh lol. Not the moves. At 10:30 Elder Nelson and I went to play golf in our cutoffs. We gotta get that tan going. Everyone was probably not about it at all seeing us pull up to the course, but it was fun. We played 9 holes again and I didn't play too well. Probably 16 over through 9. The remainder of our pday we tanned. We laid out for like 4 hours while I called the homies. It was really good. The UV was 7 while it was 75 degrees. Body going to be at its peak shape soon. 

Tuesday was my exchange with Elder Spencer in Charlotte. I spent a week with Elder Spencer about 5 weeks back at the end of last transfer. He is amazing. We saw MIRACLES. We found our new friend Toni who is the most prepared woman I have ever met on my mission. We testified boldly of the Book of Mormon, the spirit world, and living prophets. The spirit we felt was so special. She was in tears as we handed her a copy of the Book of Mormon with scriptures marked for her to read. She is going to be a future relief society President in the Charlotte branch, I am manifesting it now. How can you deny God? You can't. 

Later on in the exchange we met with our friend Courtney. She is the one with a lot of kiddos who came to Sacrament meeting last sunday. We extended a baptismal invitation for June 11th and she accepted! She is very excited for this life change. We had a member with us Bro Nelson who bore powerful testimony about Baptism. The Lord is immensely blessing the Charlotte area. I wish Elder Nelson was here on Tuesday to experience these miracles with me. 

Update on our friend Toni who we met with the following day. Why does Satan not stop working. She's not interested. She was happy we stopped by, but she feels that God told her that she can't change anymore… What is this? All good, God's timing. 

It was raining a lot throughout the week and Elder Nelson and I continued to go door knocking. Not much success, but we know out effort is not wasted. Felt the spirit and planted a lot of seeds. 

Another crazy story I forgot to mention. So on Tuesday Elder Spencer and I saw this huge car hitch that fell off a massive truck in the road. Someone ran it off and busted their gas and oil tank all over their road. As we were walking to get it out of the road, a bus starts coming towards it. We waved to stop or slow down, but the bus didn't. It hit this massive tow hitch in the road. Damaged the front of it, it then got caught under the car and exploded the back right tire. We were like 10 yards from it. We were just like oh my… who this guy thinks he is. The bus pulled over and that bus needed to go into the shop. 

I hit my 10 months this week. That is insane! It has been the fastest yet shortest time of my life. The days go by long and the weeks go by fast. I truly am grateful to be a missionary even though it is hard. Everything good in life is on the other side of hard. I am glad I have the knowledge of the restored gospel. A crazy statistic I found out. There are about 17 million members in the world and 9 billion people worldwide. Around 40% of members are active and faithful. If you take those statistics worldwide it would be .0009% are faithful members of Christ's New Testament Church in the world. So blessed!

Our friend Courtney is so amazing. We had a lesson with her on Sunday and it was one to remember. We went over the gospel of Jesus Christ and quoted a lot of scriptures from the Book of Mormon. The power that comes from that in itself is amazing. We decided to end our meeting with us all kneeling in prayer. We got her two, two year old twins to kneel/fold their arms as well as her three year old. Courtney then let out her first vocal prayer in front of us missionaries. The spirit that came into that room was so special. Courtney is so prepared. 

Saturday was such a fun packed day! We had 6 lessons that actually happened?! That is unheard of in missionary work. We had a lot of great encounters and we found 4 almost 5 new friends. It is so fun boldly testifying about the restored truths we have. God is pouring out the blessings of heaven on this area. It is insane! It's almost too much to handle, but Elder Nelson and I got it. I am loving this area so much. This area used to be called a dead area… psh who do missionaries think they are. Also, Elder Nelson faded me up again Saturday night, he's a king. 

On Sunday while we were cooking lunch, a fire broke out on our stove. Our whole apartment was smokey, but it was funny. Thought I would add to the email. 

For preparation day we are gathering as a District in Mason. That is about 25 minutes from our area. We are playing wiffle ball with one of our mission counselors. It should be fun. I will also be able to talk all day so please reach out. Love you all so much. 

It's God!

 A member on Monday took us out golfing in Charlotte! His name is Bro Mayhew, he is 77 years old and he's so cool. He's our ward mission leader. He paid for our golf too and just so you all know I didn't lose my groove that I had. I never played better in my life. I was driving 225-250 yards straight off the tee. Lance wouldn't even have recognized me. Elder Nelson and I played on a team vs Bro Mayhew. We ended up losing. We went 8 over through 9 and Bro Mayhew went 6 over through 9. 

Lots of door knocking this week since it is nice out! I am getting a little taste of what Jared had to go through being in the Philippines. The high this week was 83 degrees and humid. I honestly didn't mind it, I am getting a little burnt, but I'm getting that tan on! It is honestly rewarding ending the day all swearing because you worked hard furthering God's work!

Wednesday we had our interviews with President Heap. We found out that I will most likely be staying another in Charlotte with Elder Nelson! Let's goooo. I am actually so hype. I love Elder Nelson so much. The other big news we found out was that the sister training leaders that were currently serving on MSU are moving to the city of Jackson with the Zone Leaders and now they fall in my district. I now cover 14 missionaries in my district that I am in charge of. Two sets of sisters, the sister training leaders, the zone leaders, and two sets of senior couples all fall in the Charlotte district. It's funny because if any of you remember Sister Evans who I served with for four transfers in Bay City is now in my district that I lead over again haha. This next transfer is going to be so fun.

Service filled day on Thursday. We first began by doing service at the usually Helping Hands that we serve twice a week. We heard news last week that President Heap approved a zone wide service project in Lansing. You already know we pulled up! We were there for two hours outside and we loaded 44,000 pounds of food onto trucks to take to food pantries. It wasn't as hard as it sounds. It was 90 degrees outside and it was amazing. I absolutely loved it. Elder Nelson and I got FRIED, but this also piqued our interest. We are going to start laying out on pdays to get that nice tan. The UV here still gets up to 8, it isn't 11 like AZ, but I will make it work. It was really fun being with the whole zone serving. We also had more service after that in Eaton Rapids for another hour. Roughly 5-6 hours of service, but it wasn't too bad. It is always nice to have some sort of change from your daily schedule. 

Friday was special. We drove up to Mount Pleasant which was about an hour and a half from Charlotte. Three zones gathered together to hear counsel from Elder Bennett of the seventy again. The spirit was so strong and we were all taught so powerfully. The meeting was about 3 and a half hours. It was amazing! I loved every second of it. You left that building just on fire. Elder Nelson and I drove through Lansing to get back home and we decided to dine in at Olive Garden. It did not disappoint. Later that day we had a baptism in Holt that we attended. The Holt Sisters baptized someone named Chelsey who had such a sweet conversion story. We brought two of our friends with us too, Lonnie and Allen. Such a good experience. God is so good. There is no denying that this is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and that the Church of Jesus Christ holds the proper authority to perform saving ordinances. 

I have to share this crazy fact. Background info: one thing you need to know about Michigan is that there is roadkill EVERYWHERE. I decided to count on the way to and from Mount Pleasant on Friday. I counted over 120+ dead animals on the side of the road. Michigan is wilding. 

I have to share this bizarre story. So Elder Nelson and I were in a lesson with a single mother and her four kids that were present. To conclude the meeting we always ask if there is anyone they want us to pray for. Elder Nelson then offered the prayer anticipating to pray for everyone by name in that room. He had a stupor of thought and blurted out the name Kiara. Kiara is not the name of anyone present there nor did I know a kiara. During the middle of the prayer Courtney (the mom) looked directly at Tiana (16 year old daughter) astonished BECAUSE Kiara was the name of Courtney's 19 year old daughter who we didn't know existed. Elder Nelson had a prompting to say Kiara during that prayer and it left them knowing that we represent the Lord and this is the real deal! I hope that made sense because I was literally shook. Elder Nelson is a spirit led man. 

On Saturday I woke up not feeling well at all. I had a sore throat, my allergies were out of this world, and i had a bad headache. As I was going through the motions during the day it dawned on me. One of the people I was with earlier this week tested positive for covid. I thought it would be best to go get tested to be safe. I'm…. negative! Phew. That would have been rough. Being in quarantine as a missionary is depressing. God did not want us to go through that. We then went to Walmart and copped the necessities… Neti pot, NyQuil, cough drops, etc. I then asked Elder Nelson to give me a priesthood blessing so I could be healed. This was the first blessing I have asked for on my mission. The last one I received was from dad before I came out to Michigan. It was so cool just feeling that priesthood power again. It is so real. That comfort that comes from a worthy priesthood laying his hands on your head to give you a blessing hits different. 

Courtney (the one where we had the cool lesson with) came to church with all three of her kids. They were so hectic during the Sacrament meeting, but the members did a great job helping her feel comfortable. The kids were running up to the speaker, screaming, and just running around the chapel. Courtney left that meeting wanting to come back next week and promised the members she would. We promised her that if she had a desire to come to church her car would start. She looks at us after and she's like my car randomly started like you promised. We're like,"Courtney it's God!"

Today we are doing a zone pday… virtually. A little background on the mission is that we are trying to become as obedient as possible. We are only allowed one district pday every 6 weeks so we emphasize the importance of staying in our areas and feeling the spirit more. So on Saturday night our ZLs and STLs hop on a big call saying there is a huge announcement. They then say,"WE GOT it approved by the President to have a ZONE PDAY (everyone just got so hype and then he crushed the news).... over zoom!" It was a depressing time, but we are now doing an hour zoom call on pday to help the zone build unity. We shall see how this goes. 

I love you all so much. We might go golfing today at 11 am. The weather is nice, it's 70 degrees and partially sunny, but it did rain last night. I look forward to speaking with you. Hmu! I will be waiting. #FindTime4Me 

The Spirit Got Me

 Preparation day in Charlotte went a little slow since we did not have anything to do. President Heap laid the heat on preparation day. We can't leave our areas anymore unless it's district pday. Lots of chilling in the Charlotte apartment. 

This week I made a goal to drink a ton of water and workout for a full 30 minutes everyday. Brooklyn was nice enough to send me some ab workouts on Monday that were for Tuesday-Saturday. She better watch out because with the core strength I have I might replace her on the dive team. 

I have to talk about this so I have it in my emails. On September 6th, 2021 I emailed President Heap about concerns to the Preaching By The Way pond (door knocking). I expressed to him how I find this pond very frustrating because I didn't find any success from it. I gave Elder Elliott the hardest time because we knocked for three hours and no success at all, you know the mood I get in when I'm frustrated. If you know Luke then you know that that mood haha. This is what President Heap replied back to me,"I promise you as your Mission President, that as a missionary this will be one of the most powerful ponds in your personal mission experience. You will become so powerful in that pond Elder Clouse it may at times dominate other ponds. I promise that will happen." Fast forward to today, HE LITERALLY prophesied of it. My testimony of the authority of his calling increased out of this world when I stumbled upon that earlier this week. Preaching By The Way is my strongest pond in the mission. Elder Nelson and I have found 20 new friends in the past two weeks just in that pond. It boggles my mind how President Heap promised that it would dominate other finding ponds sometimes. It does. I just had to write about that since I thought it was so cool. 

We had a really awesome experience door knocking. We were door knocking in a trailer park and no one was being nice at all. It was the usual door knocking environment. We knock on this trailer and the nicest guy comes out. His name is Dustin. Since it was raining outside he invited us in. We taught him the full restoration with his gf there too who's name is Kayla. They ate that up so much. During the whole lesson, their dog Zion kept humping Elder Nelson's back on the couch. It was hilarious. Elder Nelson got scratched up pretty good on the face from the paws. As we were leaving they both said,"I have never been more interested in a religion than I have been right now!" We are going back tonight to go eat dinner with them since they invited us over!

Wednesday evening we went to a Bible Study at the biggest church in town. It is called the Assembly of God. The Church is massive! The whole praying, sermon, and studying was different, but good to see what other people do with their faith. The Pastor named Shane came up to us after and chatted for 45 minutes with him. He wants to learn more about our faith since it peaks his interest. This pastor is about to be the new Sidney Rigdon. If you don't get it, Rigdon had a huge congregation of people in Ohio that all became converted and nearly doubled the size of the church's membership. 

As we were door knocking this week, I interacted with my first Jehovah's Witness in my life. We discussed her beliefs on her doorstep for about 30 minutes. Their religion has no hope, it was actually so depressing to hear. They believe the 144,000 that will make it to heaven are already chosen and the girl who we were talking to won't ever make it to heaven because she wasn't "chosen" by God. They also think birthdays are of the devil rip.

Funny thing happened as we were meeting with an inactive older couple. As we were leaving they offered us ice cream and cake so of course we said yes. Little did I know they would give us the three biggest scoops of vanilla ice cream on a plate with strawberry cake. As I finished up the slice of cake and ate one scoop of ice cream I looked at Elder Nelson and we both just started laughing so much since we both knew what was going to happen to me. I made a plan to distant myself and distract the member while I walked over to the trash and threw away the remainder of the ice cream on my plate. Mission accomplished.

I made a personal goal this week to drink at least 80 ounces of water a day. Since I made this goal I usually drink closer to 120 ounces which is awesome! Extreme downside is that I need to urinate every 25 minutes. It stinks when we are door knocking and we have to ask people if we could use their bathroom haha. Most of the time people take pity on us and let us in. 

One of the other goals we set as a companionship this week was being more dignified so we can feel the Spirit stronger. Everytime someone says a filler word such as,"dang, Frick, heck, crap, etc," we have to do 5 push ups right there on the spot. It is working pretty well to help us be more dignified in all that we do and not use slang haha. If you have met Elder Nelson, you know this is an ambitious goal for him to set. Sure love you Elder Nelson. 

We decided Saturday afternoon that we would walk 1.5 miles to church with our friend Cody who doesn't have a car. I took a selfie while we were walking. I then had the chance to speak in a Sacrament meeting for Mothers day. We were supposed to have three speakers, but one was sick. The other one was a boy who was the branch president's son. He got up and gave a 45 second talk so when he concluded it was my turn. I went forward with the talk I had prepared and the spirit led me to speak for 25 minutes, filling all the time necessary. The Spirit got me.

During the week we went over to the DeLongs home. They are that family we teach which consists of four kids. Two of them we are teaching and are thinking about baptism. They said we could take some of their clubs to go golfing and they gave us two full sets of clubs and a handful of balls to go play golf. Then a member offered to take us golfing tomorrow for pday so we are so excited for that! 

This week is going to be so good. The weather is looking like it'll be all sunny and 80 degrees everyday. Everyone will be nicer to us since they got their vitamin D. When it is cloudy people are generally more rude to us. I love you all so much. I am excited to chat with you today. Please reach out, I love you! As always #FindTime4Me 

Continuing to Thrive

 Monday was legendary. We decided to head to Lansing to ball up with some elders. We got approval from our ZLs so we were chilling since we had miles. We played intense basketball games with the elders. For lunch I had chick fil a for the first time since before I left on my mission. It did not disappoint. I miss that place so much. Before we left we ran volleyball with all the elders and sisters. It was really fun, but I only won 1 game and I think we played 5. Weston would be so proud. 

Tuesday was one of those days that every missionary hates. No matter how determined you are to do missionary work, you have those days where you feel like doing nothing. We were out door knocking for two hours and we were not just getting rejected, but getting rude responses. It for real had me really disappointed and annoyed. We stopped and prayed to see if we should still be out here. Elder Nelson encouraged us to hit just three more doors. The very last door we knocked on, right when we said Jesus Christ, he hung up on the person he was talking to and let us in. We taught the full restoration and even if it doesn't go too far, The Lord taught me that he prepares people to teach and we are in charge of putting ourselves out there to find his children. Shout-out to Elder Nelson for pushing me, I love that man. 

District council was on Wednesday and I decided to lead the council on communication. Who doesn't like learning more how to better communicate with your companion and the friends you are teaching. While we were finding for the rest of the day, we found two friends door knocking, along with 4 potentials. For Facebook finding during the day we decided to start doing it on the library computers and it's so much fun. We stay so focused and we don't get blocked as fast when we're on computers, let's go! So many Ws this week. 

One of the days this week I was not feeling it. I just want to emphasize the importance of daily scripture study. I was in such a bad mood at one point in this week. It wasn't my companion because Elder Nelson is goated, it wasn't my area, it wasn't the weather, but I just seemed off. This was the morning on Thursday. I did my full morning routine and I was still not having it. You all know me, Luke goes through his phases. By the end of the 45 minute personal study I had changed my attitude completely. The rest of the day was amazing. As I prioritized showing that I love God by reading His word, He made up the rest. Daily immersion in the scripture is A1. 

Saturday we decided we are going to start visiting some churches in the area. We first started off going to a 7th Day Adventist Church. It is different. Lots of kneeling, and standing, and singing, and praising. Funny side note. While we were there they played the beat/note pattern to,"If You Could Hie To Kolob," but it was to some weird hymn. Elder Nelson and I were singing that while the others were singing the knock off version. 

Saturday night we both needed a haircut. Elder Nelson has a razor to cut hair and I have cutting scissors so what better way than to cut each other's hair. It didn't turn out that bad so we are good. Great learning experiences. Also, a funny side note. Elder Nelson and I are the exact same weight to the ounce. Both are exactly 156.8 pounds, but for mom that is 71.27 kg. 

Sunday Elder Nelson and I had to bless the Sacrament since the branch doesn't have many priesthood holders. We made a foolish mistake… we didn't break the bread small enough and we had to bless even more bread for just us two. We were three pieces of bread short. It was so awkward because three of our friends came to church and they didn't even know what was going on. It was a silly mistake that will be funny to look back on.

This week flew by! Elder Nelson and I continue to thrive doing the Lord's work. We found 9 new friends to teach this week. Also, we were Invited to memorize the Restoration Proclamation. In four days I memorized the whole thing, LETS GO! I love you all. Please reach out, there isn't much to do in Charlotte if the weather isn't good. God is real, I represent Jesus Christ's New Testament Church, Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. You know the drill #FindTime4Me
