Josh's Journey

  Monday night we had a lesson with L and W which went great! Afterwards we were walking home and we saw two people next to their cars with a bunch of stuff on the sidewalk. It turns out they were leaving where they lived so we helped pack everything they needed into their car. Tuesday we helped a lady move. Fortunately we has called a member who we have been meeting with to help us out which was inspired since he used to work at a moving company and was super helpful and there wasn't many of us there. There was a total of 5 of us so it took a while but we got everything. In the evening we had another lesson with L and W where we talked about the 10 commandments. Wednesday we went on exchanges. I went with our district leader Elder N. We did service helping clean things up after the massive rain storm Sunday caused some flooding. We also had a lesson with a lady from Congo who was super super smart. We talked about the Plan of Salvation and when we talked about us forgetti...

  Who sent super short emails.  Today we were super busy so this will be short. Today we watched the movie Witnesses which talks about the story of the 3 Witnesses to the Book of Mormon  which was really good. I was surprised how good it was. Then our ride didn't show up to take us back for around 30min so our whole day has been all over the place. Tuesday and Wednesday we had lessons with people we are teaching. We invited them to be baptized on the 21st this month and they accepted! Please pray for L and W that they can be able to be prepared by then!  Thursday we worked taking down a cinderblock wall which was a fun work out. They had built it and realized they did it wrong and so we took it down. Saturday we helped out with another yard sale for a little and ended up getting zucchini and tomatoes from someone's garden which was awesome. Sunday we had church and in the evening it dumped rain. It was the biggest storm I have seen in the 2 years I've bee...

 I procrastinated this email so you get a shortie.   Highlights: - Bought a nice blender for 40 bucks - Set up some exciting lessons - Had pioneer day fireworks - Had a dry margarita (see below) - Helped set up a garage sale - Had a great zone conference  - Helped watch landlords dog which pooped on the floor in their house (not in ours 😅 ) - Talked to people who we haven't been able to get in contact with - Chatted with the Salt Lake City Mission President who was super cool   Quote of the Week: "I can be a cardigan marshmallow " (it was something along these lines)

Monday night they had a BBQ across the street and a the police came and did a presentation and gave tours of some of their vehicles. They also would cuff you if you wanted.   Tuesday we crashed a youth activity and the young women were doing a salon so we joined in an get masks and had my toenails painted.    Wednesday we rearranged our bedroom a little to give more space for our beds which ended up working out well. In the evening we had an ice cream social with one of the wards we cover and we got to chat with the and met a lot of people. They also had a ton of left over ice cream so we now have a stash of ice cream at the church whenever we want it.   Thursday we went to this homemade ice cream place in downtown bountiful which as really good ice cream. In the evening we were on a walk to visit people and it started thunder storming which I enjoyed since we haven't had any rain in a couple months and I love thunderstorms.   Friday we had District Coun...

 I'm staying in southern bountiful for my last transfer (6 weeks) with Elder S! I was hoping to stay so I was glad to see that.   Short email this week 🤷 ‍ ♂️ but here some highlights. Tuesday: went on a couple walks with members and got some delicious shaved ice. We also got to chat with someone thinking about serving a mission about mission life.   Wednesday: we went to a youth activity and they were playing kickball but the based were slip and slides into inflated pools which was a great time (no we didn't go on the slip and slides and ruin our clothes).   Thursday: had an awesome district council where we all shared our testimonies and the spirit was super strong. I also got an answer to a question I'd been praying about for around a month or so during Elder K's testimony (funnily enough it had nothing to done with what he actually said but he brought the spirit which then gave me my answer). Afterwards we had Elder K's "funeral" since he is ...

Hello! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We are in the middle of a heat wave and dry spell so we didn't have many fireworks for safety reasons. I am so blessed to live in a country and enjoy the freedoms we all have here. I am particularly grateful for the freedom of religion that paved the way for the Restoration of Christ's church on the earth. God's fingerprints are all over the founding and protection of this nation. Truly In God We Trust.   Tuesday we had meeting with half the mission to meet President and Sister Johnson. We got to know them and their kids. When we got back we went to a youth activity and played pickleball and capture the flag with the youth.   Wednesday morning we had interviews with President Johnson so he could get to know us better (more on the interview later). After that we helped 2 families move before beginning to close our missionary apartment and opening up a new one which lead to an exhausting day.   Thursday we had Di...
