hey. whats up. this week was slow due to thanksgiving and everyone outta town. Elder Titus is being transferred so i'll be getting a new comp. i hope he is normal and not a nerd-bomber. we'll se thou.

tell nick to email me! i dont have his current one.

hows everything with yall? caleb healing up? hows luke?

and i would like the "missionary's little book'' series from the ldsbookstore and a copy of the great apostasy by talmage.

This week and had a total Seth realization.

I was thinking about what i was thankful for and thinking of the usual stuff like family and the church (which i am truly grateful for but thats not the epiphany i had). But i am truly greatful for football. now before you start thinking what a moron hear me out.

i had a confirmation this week that im only at this point in my life because of football. because of ball i met so many men i look up to. before i gave prayer a honest try the only reason i knew God was around was because of experiences in football. because i went and played at Snow i met trevor lowe who said just the right thing so id start to pull my head out. i know football  was a factor to my mission calling to the south. and it made me realize how much my Father in Heaven loves me and knows me. He knew that through football id learn the lessons i need to progress even if most of those lesson were through hard trails.

And i know without a shadow of a doubt football was placed in my life by a loving Heavenly Father. Now I have a love for Him and the gospel even stronger than my love for football. and if thats possible how can it not be true? if being out in the mission field brings me more joy than ever in my life. how can it not be true?

i love this gospel more than anything because i now know my Father in Heaven loves me more than that. He know each and everyone of us. He loved us so he sent his only begotten. He set up a plan to return to him. We just need suck up our pride and endure.

I love yall and God Bless

     Sup y'all last week was pretty good. We taught James Stone the football kid at UTC. It was amazing! We taught The Restoration, thank goodness for the Spirit thou because our teaching flow was a little off but he understood and was asking great questions. We kinda went off course for a little bit due to the fact he had a lot of questions about the prophets and apostles of today and how they are called. But we explained that then moved on. He said he would take Moroni's challenge and read and pray about the truthfulness of the BoM. He also committed that if he comes to find the BoM is true he will be baptized! It was legit! So after that we went and played bball and it was difficult to say the least. The guys made lame calls because we were killing 'em. There was this one guy thou who was no joke 10X's worse than me when it comes to fouling, and of course he was guarding me. He was grabbing me, slapping my arms and hands, he got me once in the jaw with an elbow but the worse was when I was going for an easy lay up. HE then just shoves me and I fall and roll into the barrier between the gym and the chapel, I burst into the chapel then some nice "soft" fold-up chairs stopped me. Luckily, I was wearing my new high tops so I didn't roll my ankle or worse. I wanted to kill this guy, but I decided to calm down and blow it off. We had some priests there and James our investigator so I tried to set an example. The guy is lucky well because if I did want to go after him there was no Brother Edwards to hold me back like with Deaver. OHHHH!!! He also brought his wife to play! So when they won it was because of her and our not guarding her. But that is my rant.
      The Lewis kids called us this week with great news, they set a baptism date! It's June the 28, but the best part is when the mom told us something that her son said Evan and I quote," What they said was strong and I really understand it." That has been the biggest blessing in my mission so far. We usually feels Evan is just there and lost when we teach so to hear that, the Spirit basically slapped me in the face. Sorry to cut it short but gotta go.
   Love y'all and God Bless

 Howdy y’all

          Hope all is well, so I gave my new elder in the ward talk Sunday. People said I did well, but I feel I talked way to fast. But something funny happened! So this young lady who is 17 in our ward Madison works at the mall. And there is this kinda off guy named Corey who is also 21. He has been asking for Madison’s number for weeks but she is obviously not interested, but through talking around he finds out she is LDS and then he proceeds to go online to find the times of the local wards. Only two wards meet at our building (even though it’s the stake center which is weird.) one at 9 and ours at 11. He showed up at 9, then waited there til our ward arrived. So sacrament goes on and Madison of course is shocked to see him. He was all expecting to go to class with her, but my companion and I drug him to Gospel Principles and Elder’s quorum he moaned and whined for a little bit then started asking some really good questions. I think he actually built some interest in the church. So we gave him a BoM and are trying to possibly teach him. Also every time he introduced himself he'd be like... "I'm Corey and I here cuz of a really cute girl!" Everyone would laugh, but he did that a lot. I finally leaned over and said, "Dude you need to chill a little, you are gonna piss off a daddy!" He basically blew me off so i was thinking your funeral.

     The best part is we had dinner with Madison's family that night. The home teachers were over too and we kept teasing her. She actually wasn't there for awhile because her dad said he invited Corey. Ahhh, good mission times!

    Besides from that we went and played some bball (Mom i used some money to buy high tops so i don't kill an ankle... forgive me) but we played with the Elders and came in contact with an awesome investigator named James Stone. He is 20, baptist, works at a Sporting Good Store and walked on the University of TN, Chattanooga football team. So we had tons to talk about. It was awesome because without knowing it I was relating everything back to the gospel! We talked about high school, college, NFL, injuries, BYU honor code just stuff like that. Now we have an appointment to teach him be bball this week!! SO STOKED!!!

      So for the humidity I bought a little magic sweat towel. It is called the," frogg toggs colling chilly pad towel." It's magic! Dad I strongly suggest you get a few for football and the gym. It keeps me cool and not nasty from sweat after biking.. but moving on.

     the Lewis' kids that committed to baptism  are awesome. Courtney is already talking about a mission, it was so cool! She'd leave around the same time as Brina actually. And the boys Evan and Preston are starting to get it and talk with us. We just need to get our answer from the stake. They live in another wardbut some crap happened but by coming to our ward they reactivate their grandmother and mom. So they need to be baptized in our ward!!! Also that family the Moffits have hit a speed bum, the wife is ready to be baptized but won't do it without her husband who won't pay tithing. I know we are supposed to love all but some need a tough love punch to the face. They were soooooo close. I invite all to read President Uchtdoffs talk from the last priesthood session, " Are you sleeping during the Restoration?" it's the theme I spoke on Sunday. Read it then awaken!! Do all you can to build Christ's kingdom. Serve with all your heart, might mind and strength that you may be able to give the Lord a solid report of the work you did on Earth. I look forward to being called to Missouri to build a city of God. Awaken and prepare yourselves! Stay close to the Spirit and close to Christ, I wish y'all the best and GOD BLESS!\Elder Seth Dillard

Hey everyone,

I am in TENNESSEE!! I’m here in my first area. I’m in the Brainerd ward in Chattanooga TN. My trainer is Elder McDonald. Kinda an off guy but we get along for now at least, ha ha. But my first day in the field was descent. Built my bike (Thanks McMomma, you’re the best!) but I didn’t have time to build it til night so I used a n old bike and after we were a away from home the pedal and pedal arm fell off. Of course this is the fist thing that happens. It’s bad enough I’m in a all bike area! (FYI I’m in a all biking area). So I had to get home on one pedal. So all of Chattanogga already think I’m an idiot so that’s nice. Then we had our first meeting with the ward mission leader. I could barely stay awake! I’m running on like 2 hours of sleep for the last 2 days. I had to wake up Weds at 2 am to go to the airport, got delayed twice then got to Atlanta (had Five Guys!!!) then flew to Knoxville. Then we go to the mission home and Elder Shaw was snoring like a lil Nicky, or speaking Black Speech from Mordor (Lord of the Rings reference), I couldn’t figure which. Point is I was up all night trying to figure out the quietest way to kill Elder Shaw. It’s crazy what the brain can think of with the right motivation! Hey! I could use that in the mission and not just to devise schemes of revenge.

Well mom thanks for the CD, Love it! Well to leave on a spiritual note here is a quote by President Packer “True doctrine understood changes attitudes and behavior. The study of doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior”

Meaning only through the teaching of Christ can one become truly better in the eyes of God.

Good night ya’ll and God Bless

So last couple days been interesting bt slow. Just trying to get to know the members and the area. My bike took a dump  on me the first day and has been down since. Oh so today we were tracking which by the way, might as well be knocking with my skull! That’s how productive that is, but we were walking home after and this guy pulls over to talk to us. I got all excited hoping it would be one of those golden investigators, It wasn’t. He asked if we read the bible, we said yes and then he goes on to pull the whole “thou shalt not add scripture” crap from Deuteronomy. Then as we go to explain ourselves he cuts us off and says “ya’ll are a cult ad I hope you know that” acting all superior. So by that point I was done with this shmuck and said “your wrong sir” then walked off. Elder McDonald tried to talk a little more but the guy floored it and was gone. This dude was wearing an Ed Hardy shirt and had frost tips and he decides to call us out. But moving on. So besides for that joker its been nice. We have a family already committed to baptism and that’ll be the first one in this area in over a year. So I’m stoked. But today was my first Pday and it was rather lame. We cleaned the apartment, emailed then went shopping and then were stuck at the apartment the rest of the day. The sisters that usually take us to the big zone pday at the park didn’t go so yea….they kinda suck. And Sunday was nice. Went to church, the members are sweet and there is one other U of U fan in the ward so SWEET! And once they found out I played football they swarmed me. A lot of them would grab my arm or something and be like “look at these arms” or “nice traps”. Yes someone said I had nice traps. It was a lil weird cuz I was all “I just met you and you’re touching me, stop touching me” It’s like they’ve never seen a talented and extremely good looking ma before. So I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let them be jealous of my many muscles. It was great talking to the family yesterday and mom: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, I LOVE YOU AND YOU (and copper) KEEP ME GOIN!!

Can someone tell Derek Cowles to stop being a bag of crap and write me! And Mario, Colorado that’s sweet due! I bet your parents were happier than you though. Ha ha Dude I’ve only been out here for a couple weeks but stay positive and there’s a lot  of awesome on a mission but a lot sucks as well. Read the BOM and gain a strong testimony of it because it’s the best tool for conversion you have. I’ve seen that be true already in my life and in others.

Buut all is well, my trainer Elder McDonald is cool, really odd to say the least buy a great guy. We don’t relate at all!! Movies? No! Music? No!  Sport? No!! What do you like?  Books.. oh okay I can read somewhat. What books do you like? Twilight. D-OH!!! This is how the conversation really happened. So you we’re a match made in heaven. But I have figured out why he’s my trainer though. It’s so I stay obedient. He does “everything” by the book and it’s a lil annoying but I’m dealing. He’s not really outgoing so I talk mostly during lessons and can relate and talk to people but he keeps me on the path. I fell asleep one night while he was making calls )he’s the district leader) and he comes in and wakes me up for companion prayer!!! I was pretty ticked buy everyday I have to tell myself why there’s so many rules. Because even though how dumb the rule is such as we’re not allowed to work a lawnmover! That rules are due to one idiot. And I don’t wanna be that idiot where a new rule must be made due to something stupd I did. So Elder MCDonald (and no Luke and Caleb  his name isn’t Ronald) he bugs me a lot! But I love him. Well ya’ll time for bed. Good night and God Bless!

Howdy everyone!

Yesterday was nearly perfect!! It was stake conference and Elder Arnold of the 70 was here. I got to listen to him speak multiple times this weekend. At the Saturday adult session, Main session and a special meeting for investigators/new converts and with the Elders quorum before we went and visited less actives Saturday morning. He spoke so strongly on missionary work and temples. There’s no doubt he is call of the Lord, then we went to an appointment afterwards. It was a referral from members in the ward. But we taught 3 teens. Courtney who is 16, and Evan and Preston who are 14. Courtney has already been going to church and reading and is the driving force behind all this. But we taught them the restoration and extended the baptismal invitation and yes, yes and YES!!! They all said Yes. To hear that has made up for the crap so far. The bike part, tracting, investigators bailing and being told no over and over. We’re trying to be the set ASAP and we hope it works our because they actually don’t live in our ward. They’re from Dalton, GA. About 30 minutes away but they hate it there. And ny them being baptized their mom, grandma and great grandma who are all less actives for years are coming back. The grandmas live in our ward so that’s how we got permission to teach them. But it was awesome and I really was able to talk to them and relate so I loved it. But then we went tracking and it’s really sad when people say I have enough faith in Christ because that’s impossible. As it says in 2Nephi 31: 19-21 just because your on the straight and narrow and have accepted Christ that doesn’t mean your saved. It’s that last principle of the missionary purpose! Enduring to the end!! Its reading and learning as much as you can about Christ, to feel then show that love of Christ always, It’s ENDURING!! And only through the Gospel can you do it. But moving on, we went to a members home for dinner later and it was really good. Had some salmon deal with rice but the salad was just picked from their garden an hour before with homemade dressing. So that was bomb as far as salad goes. Then the best brownies ever!!! Like Holy Crap! But Freisteadter is their name and their sons name is Dieter and he is a boss! Such a cool kid! But as Brother Freisteader was taking us home he told us his conversion story and a story about his grandmothers passing away and getting to give her a blessing being the only member in his family. And it was so strong I started to tear up. His testimony was just powerful and was the perfect way to end the evening. But besides for that I’m reading Marvelous Work and a wonder again and that book is marked up!! I have scriptures from it marked then with what PG# the explanations are and it’s pretty sweet. I also read True restored and Our Heritage so with that and listening to the Joseph CD my knowledge of the restoration and testimony of it has grown so much. It’s my facorite lesson to teach so it’s nice it’s the first one. Oh and Elder Koelliker my zone leader is Sis Reynolds first cousin so let her and Mac know. So that was cool to find out. And I’m giving my welcome talk to the ward Sunday. My topic is based off of Pres Uchtdorf’s talk in last conferences priesthood session “Are you sleeping through the Restoration?”  I slightly remembered it but ead it in this months Ensign and it’s legit. I suggest everyone go read it. IT talks about that we today are still living the restoration of the church with new revelation constantly being revealed. And it’s time for us to “awaken” and help the curch grow and become stronger.

On a more personal note hope all is well with all my family and friends. Please email me! If I don’t answer soon please understand I only get one hour of email time on Mondays. Caleb that sucks about your ankle. I know ankle injuries and they aren’t fun. Just always wear braces when doing any sports! How are those supplements working out for you? It’s been rough here with my companion we are fire and Ice! We are so different. I wish I had Derek out here with me, we would kill it. A shout out to Audra and Amanda who are offended they didn’t get a long email. I’m sorry but so many people want talk to me and it’s hard to please all my admirers But I love you two and thanks for the goodies. I kinda forgot the package was coming so I bought all healthy food to push along weight loss from sweating buckets out here. So I got the box and I was at first like YES! Then crap, I’m get fatter so I’ve been sharing a lot. Good thing Brina types these letters out because if Ya’ll coule see my grammar, spelling and so on you’d think I would be coloring blue ducks all day (for those of you who get that movie reference I thank you)

Weell I’m end my novel. I tired and I still gotta read so love ya’ll and God Bless!!

PS someone send me a list of the NFL draft results

SETH

     Howdy! Today is my first Sunday in the MTC. It was nice. No classes for 3 three hour segments! We had Zone/ District meeting and discussed the new missionaries coming on Wednesday. My companion, the Sister training leader and I planned the New Elder/ Sister welcome thing. We had sacrament and the zone leaders had to sit on the stand so that was weird. But Elder Shaw was funny to watch. Elder Shaw is Elder Wien's companion and they share a dorm room with us. Poor guy can't stay awake no matter what. He fell asleep grabbing something out of his pocket so he had the paper had out of his suit jacket and was frozen like that.
     Sister Loftis patted me on the shoulder today, I'm surprised we weren't struck by lightning due to the fact  Elders and Sisters CAN ONLY  shake hands.... AND THAT IS IT! The teachers made that very clear. Well after that heat brush with eternal damnation we went to a devotional. Brother Allen spoke! He's the producer of the District series. Speaking of the District Elder Neis from the show is one of our zone teachers! He is AWESOME!! But back to Brother Allen He spoke alot about the challenges we face on missions and how to overcome. Then we got to watch a film. We had a choice from four films we choose " Joseph Smith" And "The Restoration." It was incredible, to see on a screen all the pain he went through to bring the gospel it was inspiring! It makes me want to work that much harder and make Brother Smith proud.
     And dad I found your testimony in my bag. I started to read it and even thou Elder Udy was telling me a story I blanked out and began to cry. Thank you for that! It was powerful and even thou my testimony isn't as brainy as yours i want you to know I know the church is true. I know it for a fact and no one can tell me otherwise. And I strive to gain knowledge of the gospel to back up that knowing. Sorry for all the spelling errors and pen marks. It is late and I am tired when I write these. I also love this gospel and I know what power it holds, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God."

God Bless

    Hello again audience! ( a little Tobuscus reference for Caleb and Luke) MTC is still awesome! TOday in class we spoke about how to Invite, Commit and Follow-up. We talked about how Christ asked direct questions to whoever he was teaching couldn't beat around the bush. Also later we focused on the Restoration  is all centered around Jesus Christ and the Atonement. Also how to plan a lesson and determine what a investigator needs to hear. Next week me and my companion get to meet with a real investigator thou. Iowana is her name and she's from Africa I believe. Im stoked, but for real tho! I'm ready to get in the field and kill it! Well that is really it so love y'all and God Bless!

4/25/14
     MTC is still legit. Whoever said it was a boring place can be shot. Classes are amazing. Today we talked about the Doctrine of Christ and Revelation threw prayer and how to extend a proper baptismal invitation. At first I'd rush threw it but then I had to slow down. My teacher said not to rush so much so I decided to say it as if  I was performing a ordinance at the temple.
     We also explained what and how to pray to investigators. Chris is the guy's name and he said praying was like talking to nothing. It was awesome because I just read the perfect scripture this morning during study. It's D&C 9: 6-8 where it says "the Spirit of Revelation is the same that lead Moses and his people across the Red Sea on dry land." Something that can do that isn't nothing and can answer anything we ask.
     My teacher Brother Moore also tole me a story from President Packer. The story goes is he was at at mission devotional and brought some amazing cake. He asked who would like a slice. Everyone wanted one of course. President Packer picked an elder who came up, he cut him a slice and threw it at his face. Everyone was shocked and no one else wanted one except for one Sister. She came up and President Packer cut her a slice and handed it to her. At first I had no idea what this had to do with anything. Brother Moore then proceeded to tell me that the gospel was the cake. Sometimes we get so excited as to teach the gospel that we throw it in the investigators face and overwhelm them. But you serve them one slice at a time and let them eat and understand. And enjoy the Spirit.
     Also we've talked alot about our purpose. We've beat it to death, but then I thought about the story dad told about the apostle who was the dirty little Irish boy and the missionary who thought he had an unsuccessful mission. That came into my mind outta nowhere and that is when I found my purpose. To find my dirty little redneck boy. Id i get one young man to even consider a mission seriously I feel I'd be successful!!!
    I also love the fact my scriptures were naked when I got here but I've highlighted like 8 scriptures at least a day and each one had helped me understand the gospel 10 fold.

Day 3
     I've only been here for two days and I've learned more about the gospel than seminary, EFY and church combined. No offense to the home ward and we all know why i didn't learn much in seminary.
     My district is amazing! The Elders and Sisters are awesome. It's funny one of the sisters, Sister Loftis is the younger sister of Sister Scott in our ward. She kept trying to tell me where her sister was in Vegas, but she couldn't remember much. Then she said the manager of Imagine Dragons was in it and I just started laughing. She looked at me like I was insane til I told her why it was funny. But Sister Loftis is going to North Carolina too with Austin. Well gotta go and as they say in the South.
God Bless!

Quick Blurb from the Elder

MTC Day 2


     So today my companion and I were made zone leaders of our group of Elders and Sisters and the one that arrives next Wednesday. Classes were great, learned alot about how to use the fundamentals of the gospel to Christs' principles. But back to being a zone leader, I don't think much will change with my district, but those noobs better watch out! ( Brina note: notice how it is all of day two and he is calling kids noobs already.) Imma treat the new kids like I've been here for years. Elder Udy taught me all these cool knots for ties so now I look even better! Hard to believe it I know. One of the sisters today kept talking about and showing us pictures of her cat. I was thinking to myself, "Copper would chew that ugly thing." So, then I for a little sad because I miss him so bad. I miss everybody! I've read like everyone's little piece they wrote in my journal. F.Y.I Faith everyone thinks my journal is so cool, thanks! But I've read that thing over and over and over. Especially yours mom and dad even tho I can't understand a lot of it due to the fact neither can write but I feel your love.
     The MTC is nothing like I thought it would be. It's amazing here, I feel the Spirit so strong all day yet I'm really enjoying ,myself. Like I was playing Bball during gym today and when this Elder threw an obvious elbow which now I have lump on my face so that is lovely.... But i wasn't even mad... okay maybe a little but the Spirit is so strong here that I didn't even care that my face hurt the rest of the day.
     But question.... Where is my mail?!?!?! My district shares a mailbox and I'm the only one who didn't get anything!! Im just kidding I dont reallu care that much but if you do or anyone reading this blog does need my address is:

Elder Seth Thomas Dillard

MTC Day 1

     So my first day in the MTC was interesting, first that pilot needs to be fired! I was sick the entire flight, then the shuttle guy drives like Grandpa Randy so the sickness continued. But I met Elder Urion who was on the same flight as me and he is heading out to Austin Braiser's mission in North Carolina! My companion is Elder Udy, he is chill and we get along really well and he's going to Tennessee too.
     Okay, funny story and I'm not lying Udy will back me up. So I walk into the MTC from the shuttle and I see this Sister who was least to say good looking. Like she was "really really ridiculously good looking." (Zoolander Voice) So she sits in front of me, her name is Sister Tiggins then she starts to talk to me. And as we were talking and then asks where I am going, I tell her. She proceeds to say and I quote," Come back with a Southern accent and find me!" Honestly,  I had no idea what to say to that, I suspect she was joking around but that was a shock to hear from a Sister I just met in the MTC. But there was some truth in her voice but that is not the point.
     So later I checked in my room and met my zone, really cool people! And MOM, all the guys in my forn are jealous of my T-shirt quilt so you rock! I went to class which was actually pretty cool. Then, we did this thing were a real investigator came in the front of like thirty elders and sisters so it was like 30 v. 1. And I feel I have an advantage because the only people who were talking to this young lady was all the perfect life Provo kids and me. Like none of them could understand where she was coming from and kept changing the subject, once I would get her to open up!!!!! But the day was pretty good overall but the real class stats tomorrow so the struggle begins. Well, I miss y'all Dad, Mom, Brina, Caleb, Luke , Ramie, and Copper also all other family and friends.

Love, Seth
