One New Friend July 29th 2019

This week has been crazy up and down up and down. First My companion and I have been getting along better. I have learned it is better to look on the bright side rather than the negative side. We taught this guy named Michael and he is really cool this is the first lesson we taught him, one of the funniest things he said though was "I would rather be on my boat fishing thinking about God, than at Church thinking about being on my boat fishing." Hopefully his opinion changes but he is cool and only 29, FINALLY A YOUNG GUY!!!!! Other than that, I have already made my first trip to the doctor’s office. It was fun I am alright but hopefully we can figure out what is wrong. I went on two exchanges this week. Both were so much fun. It was cool to take control for a day. Yesterday our branch President said he would like us to pray for who we can help, I thought that was amazing, this branch is only a couple people away from getting a new building. So, this is huge for this branch. I know God is looking out for me and helping me, yesterday as well we went out to a less active member and we got bashed by her husband. He kept on saying you need to study you need to know. The funniest thing is he was telling us he did his research and everything he found out is true because it was on the internet. He would not let us talk but he kept on saying that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was trying to take us away from Jesus Christ. The whole time he was talking I felt the Spirit was telling me that he cannot shake me I know what is true and it is not what he was saying. It was just eye opening to me to see that Satan really is trying all he can do and that there really are people out there who believe in the things he tells him. It saddens me how true that is. The members are so amazing they feed us so well, but still I haven't really had southern food yet except for a lot of CHICKEN. One member told us "If the chicken isn't fried it is cooked wrong. There needs to be grease with chicken." I found that hilarious. But I know that the Lord is watching out for me and helping me, and I feel all your prayers and thank you for all your support. Keep slaying your DRAGONS, (inside joke) by slaying your dragons God will help you slay them as well. This week I want to work on dominion vs domination, if y'all have any scriptures or help on how to come closer to achieving that, it would be of much help to me, thank you all again and I love you guys. -- Elder Hayward, Missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
