Elder Chase Mikkola

  Yet another week in New york.  Monday Night after p-day we went to walmart to look for more people to teach. This black dude in an infinity pulled up and I invited him to church and he said no so i started talking about his car. It was rear wheel drive and had an exhaust so i figured he drove a little reckless and he said he said he drifted and a few other things and I asked if it would shoot flames. He said yeah bruh and i said 'prove it' he said hold up. He started up the car and started revving it up and then 1-2' flames started flying out of the exhaust and i swear it was louder than a gun shot it was wicked and most definitely made my night more enjoyable. I'll send the video to my mom and she can send it to those of you that want it.   Heres a list of cool cars ive seen this week because i realized i cant send every picture of every car i see every day. Im crazy but i would if i could. Clean mitsubishi evo, a sick eletric truck called a Ri...

  Hey everyone one it's been another great week here on long Island. It's been in the 50°'s all week so that was nice. Every single morning this week I've woken up and ate 6 eggs scrambled with a couple handfuls of cheese. Just like grandpa mark cooks. Delicious. On Tuesday we got a call regarding a lady in our boundaries that needed a blessing. We came to her house not knowing what she was going through. She was in her 40's and she just lost her husband to cancer and she had just lost her house as well. It was so heartbreaking to hear. She has a 12 year old and an 8 year old she's having to raise by herself and I can't even imagine what she's going through. After we talked about her trials she was going through I anointed the oil and elder larson gave her the blessing. I felt the spirit so strongly. And I know the lady did too. She was crying so much after and I knew she felt that God was watching after. We had a short conversation and went on our way. ...
