Cat Hunting 11/4/2019


Monday we got a haircut from a member. Later we went to a trunk or treat from the branch (mini ward) which was freezing cold. I went as a Man in Black.

Tuesday we went to the Hospital to fix the bill from last time we went. Apparently the hospital had goofed and failed to send the entire bill to the church so they could actually pay for most of it. After that, we went to the DI and did service there. Then we went to a rehearsal for a zone conference musical number for Elder W and 3 others. Dinner we got taken to Barbacoa which is basically a Utah Chipotle which was pretty good. That evening we had a meeting with the Stake Young Men's president about and idea we had for an activity. The temperature was 10 degrees with wind chill.

Service we went to the food pantry and helped people put their food in their cars. for dinner we went to the G's who we ate with the 2nd day of my mission. They told me I was a lot more relaxed this time. Then we had a great discussion about general conference. We then went and contacted a referral we got from the YSA sisters. The person was across the hall from a family we had visited a decent amount. We had knocked on their door at least once but they were never there when we did. Oh well. Then we had a meeting with the Stake Young Women's President and her husband about the activity we are planning.

Thursday was weird. It was Halloween. We had District Counsel in the morning which was great as usual. Then we went and got Subway for lunch before another practice for zone conference. Then we went to give someone a blessing but the person wasn't there. We did some studying until a member dropped off Wendy's for dinner. We then went to the Temple which was awesome. I got to see a bunch of people that I was with in the MTC as well as Elder K (sorry, no pictures in the temple) and my mission grandpa and uncle (my trainer's trainer and his new trainee). Apparently we just missed Sister Bingham (General Relief Society President).

In the morning we went and helped someone move. Then we brought someone who is leaving on his mission to Tahiti in two weeks to a lesson. The person wasn't there so we went and talked to a less active guy nearby (the fresh milk guy). I am a Plinko champion. We then had dinner with a person who wants to be baptized and her mom and grandma. We got to know them and hopefully we will start teaching her soon.

Sunday we went to 3 sacrament meetings and bore my testimony in one. We went to teach a lesson to a family but they forgot (we ended up seeing them later and they were super embarrassed which was hilarious). Then we had a lesson with 2 recent converts. We talked about the Book of Mormon and the importance of it. We showed them a video and read the last part of President Monson's 2nd to last talk and bore our testimony of the Book of Mormon and committed them to read it everyday. The spirit was there super strong.

Miracle of the Week: We didn't die. we were biking somewhere and a car was turning out of a neighborhood and a car was turning in. Neither of them looked to see if anyone was on the sidewalk so Elder W almost got hit by 2 cars in rapid succession. I managed to brake and stop before slamming into the first car. Funnily enough, one of the people that almost had hit us had given us a ride about 2 hours earlier.

This week's random sentence has to do with carnivals.

I'll be finishing up my mission tomorrow and will be flying home Tuesday. Things came together and J was able to baptized on Sunday. We were so excited and she was super ready to make that covenant. Have a great week and thanks for your prayers! Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks I know that Jesus is the Christ and He lives today. You can pray and learn that for yourself! Try it!

Just another email about conference 4/6/2020

Fun story: I just got a call and I have been called to be a District Leader (in charge of a small group of missionaries) and they added another stake to our area as well. Shout out to Elder K for being a district leader as well!! This week was pretty interesting. The beginning we we didn't have much to do and it was kinda miserable. However, the second half of the week we were like screw it, we are going to work hard because we have nothing else to do. As that happened, we saw that we were both much more happier and a lot less depressed. I we had more lessons with people as well as the chance to talk to some of my friends (y'all) about the church as well which awesome to see them and talk about what brings me happiness. General Conference was Saturday and Sunday and it was fantastic. Last General Conference we were told that this one was going to be not only memorable but unforgettable and boy did they pull out all the stops. Went our church building and watched ...

Handcuffs, a Salon and lots of Ice Cream 7-20-2021

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...
