I eat 12 donuts in a week 10/28/2019


Monday evening we had a doughnut party at a members house and I had 6 home made doughnuts which were amazing.


Tuesday we went an washed windows for an couple. Their windows hadn't been washed it over 20 years or something like that. Then we helped them tear up their blackberry bushes. Afterwards they got us Wendy's which was nice. We then went and visited H who Elder G and I met a couple weeks ago. We knocked on the door and her mom answered. Her mom isn't supportive of the church and wanted to make sure H really wanted to meet with us so she told us she would text us. Then after dinner, we went and visited some people with B. Then on the way to return a bowl that the M's gave us dinner in, I got a flat tire so we had to get a nearby member to drive us back.

Wednesdsay we went to the food pantry and helped give the food out to the people who came. Then we went with Elder G and Elder Cto a lesson and gave a mock baptismal interview to someone. It was fun biking with 3 other elders. Dinner was awesome. We talked about people they knew. The mom told us about finding her biological family and one of them who is moving to Utah soon. The dad had a friend who said he wasn't ready to learn about the church. I told him to go to the temple and the spirit was super strong. Then we went to branch mutual.

After fixing my bike Thursday, we went and raked leaves. we made a big pile of leaves and jumped in them. For dinner we had a doughnut burger. They grilled doughnuts and put in a burger, fried egg, guacamole, bacon, and a tomato. We had a lesson with R where we talked about the articles of faith and we gave him the triple combination that we got him.

Friday we had multidistrict counsel. We talked about our need to invite with urgency. We also talked about teaching with power so that people cannot disbelieve our words. We went by H but she wasn't there. We then followed a referral and met a lady named A. She is between living situations but she wanted to meet with us. Then we had dinner and went to the end of a trunk or treat.
 
Saturday morning we helped a member pour and mix concrete. We had to lug 80lb bags of concrete down some stairs which was hard. Later we had a lesson with R about Faith and Repentance. Then we invited her to go to the special stake conference. Then we had a lesson with L about the 10 commandments. During the lesson. The temperature dropped it felt like 10 degrees.

Sunday we had stake conference with Elder Gary E Stevenson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. R came as well which was great. Then we gave a ministering presentation and invited one of their daughters to invite someone to church that had been on our minds recently.

Miracle if the week: We had been trying to get in contact with someone for a while and we were walking and he was moving. We were able to help him move and get his number to set up a time to meet.

Quote of the week: "It's 27° outside. Sounds like perfect golfing weather to me!"

Pictures (hopefully in order):
1. Mixing concrete
2. Doughnut burger!
3. Macbeth and harry potter reference
4. Probably the scariest thing I have seen ever
5. For the board game nerds out there (dad)
6. A wonderful quote in regards to navigation

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 ...

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.
