I'm like hey what's up hello

 I would like to thank Fetty Wap for my intro to my email. Thanks for all you do for me F.W. 

This was quite the week. A lot occurred and some sad times but some happy. So Elder Story and I are trying to learn this area and understand it and find people to teach. Like I said last week we have 2 people on date for baptism but here is sad part. Dave is very busy with work so he asked to push back his baptism till around January. We are seeing what we can do so that is very sad. But Tom is a good monster. He is the coolest guy ever. We got to go to his house 2 times this week and have a lesson and eat good ol chicken. He is so ready like dang. He will be baptized November 14th and it'll be the best day ever. I haven't been apart of all of his teaching but still I am excited for him. 


Alright besides that we made this video this week for Facebook. We did like the kid History thing for the story of Samuel the Lamanite. That was my idea of course but my skin and hair didn't match the Samuel description so Elder Story took the lead. Rude but I am happy for him. 


So now actually cool thing we are knocking on members doors and introducing ourselves and dropping off cute pictures of us. We can knock on members doors and people in our area book that were talked to before but also we still like 30 minutes away so we only do when we are in our area and have to borrow bikes from other Elder cause we don't got those. cool.


Finally this week some missionaries learned they get to go to their original assignments and I actually got mad and was like ok what about me, but then I realized God needs me here for some reason. Idk what it is but I've been here 7 months and may be here 2 years who knows. I need to he here and live it up. Cute of me right. Well I had a great week hope you did too. Love you bruv. Bye friend

Hello our names are Elder Slavens, Elder Story. We may look like angels and while we aren't, 

angels do exist.  



The motivation I got from this mirror is very powerful.



You know me. Someone says eat that and I will. I ate the inside of pumpkin. 

Tasted like the color orange. 



BEHIND THE SCENES: Welcome to the life in the set of an extra in the film of Samuel the Lamanite. Cool eh? 



So we went to this big ol Greek orthodox church building sacrament place. 

Pretty cool stuff going down here. Gotta love it.



Here is Slay. I got glasses. I will say I need them and that I have bad vision but that is a lie. 

I am here for the clout. Shoutout to people with bad eyes. I stole the style.

The story of Slay and Story

Welcome to this weeks edition of The story of Slay and Story. We are companions and we are cool guys. If you don't believe me just ask me and I will tell you that we are cool. I make that promise any time you ask I will tell you the truth, we are in fact cool. 


Well now that I just bragged about myself I will continue to talk about myself and what I did this week. It was quite a wonderful week. Since we are both new to this area we had to start from nothing and learn as we went. We have 2 people on date to be baptized in November which is amazing amazing. Their names are Tom and Dave. We are going to keep teaching them and help them prepare for the big day!!! Good stuff Elder Slay. 


We have been able to have some lessons and meet new members and it's been super duper. People always say names and I'm like yeah idk anyone so that's fun. Elder Story is still learning and growing. The lessons are more me talking but he is learning and it's getting so good. I love Story lots lots. We also had to give talks on Sunday so that was quite a good way to introduce ourselves. I killed it.


That's about it. We still live far away from everything and our house is so fun. Amazing missionaries and such a party, but also we love the Lord. Don't worry. I've learned a lot this week and missions are cool. Have a good week. Bye friends and family hope you enjoyed.

Elder that loves the Lord

Elder I like the Jackson 5 still even though I am a missionary and can't listen to them. Still good. 


สิ่งที่ผมจำได้ในสัปดาห์นี้คือผมรักวัวแดงมาก  มันช่วยผมเมื่อผมเหนื่อยและรสชาติดี

Something I remembered this week is I love red bull a lot. It helps me when I am tired and tastes good


Ether 12:12 have faith act in faith see miracles


So one day we had a lesson and we left and since we don't got a car we walked around then realized we both had to pee so we did as this says and peed on trees. 

It's all good only 1 person saw us peeing.

SLAY AND STORY AND THE ROAD. That's what is in this picture. Enjoy



Oh yeah so we went to a members house and they had this little pig running around and it was like the size of a potato. They said it was 7 days old and already potty trained. Cool.



Ooooh happy Halloween spooky spiders.



Goodbye Elder Bahian. He is going back to the Philippines and I am very quite sad. 

I told him I'll see him at his wedding. Very good

Welcome to another email: Alterations Edition

Yes welcome to my store. I help to do alteration to clothes. Yes pants, shirts, shoes. I will alter for you. Cheap price. Good for you.

But yes a lot of changes this week. So the beginning of the week I was with Elders Pierson and Palazzolo. We had good times. We are good buds. We were able to have a lot of lessons and dinners this week. It was fun. We also were able to finally go back to church for the first time. Basically every other area in this mission was going back to church for months besides ours. Very odd. But we went back and it was so so nice. We got to meet with both of our 2 wards and it was weird wearing masks and staring at only people's eyes not seeing a mouth but it was good stuff. I loved it lotsๆๆ aka lots lots lots


Ok here is where week was wack times. So Tuesday I was taking a nap and Palazzolo  taps me and says, "Hey President is calling" I had to wake up and get phone and he said, "Hello Elder Slavens do you want to train a new missionary." I replied, "Yes I would love to" "Thank you my friend”. It was a good conversation. I of course went back to bed after that. But now I am here and I am training a new missionary. I got him and he is a cool kid. His name is Elder Story and he is from Eagle Mountain Utah and was originally called to serve in Sydney,  Australlia. G'day mate. He is very cool and we are going to have good times together. 


I also got transferred and am not in San Tan. It isn't too far from Queen Creek but I am 25 minutes away from my area and where I am serving. Also I don't have a car so thats rough idk what we gonna do. Rip slay and story. Wish us luck. So now I'm training and we are new to area and its gonna be fun. 


Well I love you. Have a good week my friends, my fans, my dog Tivoli.

เฮ้มันเป็นผมผมกำลังเขียนอีเมลนี้ในบ้านที่มีบริการโทรศัพท์ที่ไม่ดีอย่างน้อยก็ไม่ร้อนในแอริโซนาตอนนี้

Hey it's me. I am writing this email in a house with bad phone service. at least it's not as hot in Arizona now.


not gonna lie I got good pictures this week.



This is Elder Erb and I riding our jet ski into the ocean of Arizona. The water is a little rough but don't worry, we managed. 



Welcome to service with us. We love helping others and love doing our part to keep the world clean. Get these weeds out of here. 



One day we were getting gas when I guy came up to us and just threw $120 in the car and ran away. We spent it all that day on 5 Guys and shaved ice. It was very very well spent if you ask me. 



This was for a Facebook post but it is just so adorable how could I not show this to you. Right?



Rip Elder Slavens, Pierson and Palazzolo. A good 3 weeks. Goodbye my lover, Goodbye my friend. 



Finally here is me and Elder Story. So cute, so young, so dumblit. You know what I mean.

Big 200 in that quarantine thing

Wow what an interesting week. Oh wait I told you last week I got a new companion. I guess it wasn't that interesting but it was a pretty good week not going to lie. I mean we had general conference so that was amazing. Jeez conference was good this year. It's like they are servants of the Lord speaking to us telling us things we need to hear. Cool. 


Before I begin my email Jackson my brother wrote me these lines to a rap. Here you go:

I wanna go to Thailand and eat all of that rice and then preach the people of our savior Jesus Christ.


Nice one Jackson


It is true I want to go to Thailand and eat rice. One day. Nobody tells me anything but it's all good. 


This week was a big week. We hit 200 days inside. That is quite a long time. We didn't really have a party or anything but still it was wacky. Like 200 days. ahh. That means I have been in this mission 201 days. It only feels like last month I got here so that feels weird to me. Also this week we did like a ton of service projects. We got to paint a ton and I love painting, but when you do service projects you are dead tired so I was also very tired this week. 


Now general conference time. So conference was very good. We got to go to a church building with 8 Elders and watch on a tv. It was so so good. Like every single talk was so perfect and specific for today. If you didn't watch general conference I suggest you do. It helped me a lot. I really learned we are all Children of God, and God will help us in our struggles and hard times. That was good to hear. I also loved the talk from Kelly Johnson about the microwave. He was a mission president in Thailand so that's cool. I was like, "Wow I will go there one day". Nice. 


Well not going to lie that's about it. Not much happened this week and I don't know what to say besides I still miss Spongebob and I like normal clothes a lot. White shirts are cool and all but I love swim suits. Have a good week.
