Elder Braxton Byrge

First of all I am so happy that you guys had an amazing time at the farm for Thanksgiving that makes me so happy! Alright i got a story for yallllllll ALRIGHT EVERYONE ALWAYS FIRST REMEMBER GOD IS ALWAYS THERE AND HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT!!! Alright so we were teaching an inactive family, with the old man who is a non member and also a little kid who all live in this house. The family is named zevaya. Alrighty so we were teaching them and let me tell ya, the spirit came in so incredibly strong. Elder padilla began to talk about faith and repentance and how we need to have faith. And we need to repent. I then talked about faith as well and how faith can get us through the hardest times. AND then ELDER PADILLA WENT OFF!!! I AM TELLING YOU GUYS HE SOUNDED LIKE JEFFREY R HOLLAND: He got in this families face and said these words. I am not joking it was crazy and I have never felt the spirit talk through someone, the savior talk thr...

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Alright I had the craziest week of my entire life! Oh and I love you guys more than anything remember that!!! Alright this was the hardest week of my entire life. The hardest week without a doubt. Alright so first we went to san pedro, for a meeting with all the new missionaries. I got to see all my guys and that was dope!! And so we woke up at 12:30 in the morning and then went to san pedro, 8 hour bus ride. And then we returned that same day. 16 hours in a bus wow no fun! Then the next day we had splits in olanchito with the zone leaders, olanchito is like 30 mins bus ride from coyoles and I do not love olanchito so that day was just not fun. I was so sad honestly, the stupid devil was working on me so much. And then thursday we had to go to ceiba. which is like a 3 hour bus ride. So we wake up at 2 am. While we were sitting on the bus at 2 am I broke down crying. I was missing you mom and the fam and my friends, I am just crying and bawling my eyes out at 2 a...

And he knows it is all true but he won’t act on it. One night we were visiting this family and we were just talking about elder padillas family and my family, I told them how crazy you guys are. But I explained to them that my dad had passed away, and then they asked how do I have peace and happiness. I looked at them and with a smile said let’s start out with a prayer. Elder padilla gave the most beautiful prayer I have ever heard. Not what he said, but the power of his heart. It brought me to tears. Alright but anyway I started with the lesson. I told them that for about 3 years after dad had died I was lost, and i had so much pain in my soul. I was full of anger and despair I was yearning for happiness but could not find it. Then I told them that I found christ. I found christ. I read 2 nephi 31:20 and exp...
