That time we went to Safeco Field

Well basically the big story is that I went to Safeco field for a devotional with President Nelson and his wife and President Eyring. it seats 45,000 people and it was so awesome!!! Since I was interpreting for the event Elder Bird and I got to go under the stadium and we had all access passes, it was pretty sweet! But at one point we were walking through with this guy and the security guy stopped us right and says "Elders throw this away for me I've got work to do" and just hands me a bottle cap, so we just stand there as he leaves us and we then see President Eyring leaving a room and walking down the hallway away from us, we didn't get to talk to him but it was crazy for me to be thinking that I was going to be interpreting for him in just a few hours, and he had tons of security around him, it was cool. Then all the missionaries got to sit in suites and get snacks and stuff from the Seattle Everett and Tacoma missions and we even got two referrals! So awesome! Then they brought us back down to the field and we had to wait for President Nelson to come out, so we waited and he came out and then within like 20 feet of us. Wow, that man is a prophet of God. It was amazing then President Eyring, Sister Nelson and President Nelson just delivered some amazing messages.
President Eyring taught about what a joy it is to have a prophet and how we as members need to pray to sustain the actions of our church leaders and not just support them but seek revelation that what they are doing is the Lord's way and there will be more power then. Sister Nelson testified of her husband's call as the President of the Church. Then President Nelson taught us five things life had taught him. It was so great! The Spirit was amazing and interpreting was such a fun experience!
Anyway back to this week, not much happened, yesterday we tracted into a Deaf girl in a complex where we know there's tons of deaf people, it was so cool. When we tract at apartments like this we basically just walk around and talk to everyone and knock on whatever doors we feel we need to, and this was the very first door and a girl with a deaf sister answered! It was so great!
I'm doing great, Seattle is awesome, it keeps raining more and more 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love being out here serving the Lord, there is no place I would rather be than right here helping people come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and serve them! I know that President Nelson has been called of God to be His prophet on the earth today and as we follow the Lord's council through His prophet we will be safe ahead!
Love you all, 
Elder Schoemig
