No Title - 11/25/19


Tuesday morning we had district council and afterwards we gave Elder C a blessing. He has
Bronchitis and aint nobody got time for that. After lunch we went and helped set up the Gs Christmas lights. we also got a Christmas tree from a member who got a new one and didn't want theirs anymore.

Wednesday we went to the food pantry and sorted food for a while. Then we ate and watched more the Face to Face with Elder Gong. We had the Stake Youth Activity that we have been working on for a while. We talked about things that we wish we knew before our missions and then answered a bunch of their questions. That was a lot of fun and some people said they really appreciated the things we said.

Elder C's Bronchitis turned into Pneumonia and so Elder G went with me to a lesson with a girl named Gracie while Elder W stayed with Elder C. We talked about who Jesus Christ is and about why he is so important to all of us. After dinner we talked about the Restoration with the family and Elder W read part of Joseph Smith's account. The spirit was there super strong testifying to us that it was true. Later we had a meeting with one of the Elders Quorum Presidents watched the new Christ Child video which we got early access to as missionaries (look it up if you haven't seen it).


Friday we visited a widower in one of our wards and had a great conversation about him and his life and then about the Restoration and how the Restoration separates us from all other churches. For dinner we ate with a widow and a widower. They were super funny and bantered back and forth the whole time. When we got back to one of their houses we had a great discussion about the importance of temple attendance especially with the temple being 10 minutes away. We then had a lesson with R about the Temple and baptisms for the dead. He also asked us for advice for a lesson he was giving in church and we helped with that. Then we visited an couple who's parents had died a couple days earlier.


Saturday I didn't write in my journal so who knows what happened...

Sunday we went to the branch and for the first time in the history of the branch, the sacrament was passed by all Aaronic Preisthood holders which was super cool. R did that for the first time. Then after church he got a temple recommend and we are trying to set up a time to go with him to the temple. We then went on splits with the Zone Leaders. Elder B and I went to a lesson with Rw and Elders W and L had a lesson. Our lesson with RW went super well. She committed to keep the Word of Wisdom and Brother B committed to pray to know that the Word of Wisdom was God's will for him. The Spirit was there super strongly as we invited them to do those things.




Miracle of the week: My gloves fell out of my pocket and we said a prayer and found them in the dark.

Quote of the week: "I love me some caffine. Get thee hence Satan!"

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!

Lots Of Smoke Plus A Sudden Nosebleed 8-9-2021

  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...

"I Woke Up Before You But Only Because I Was Drooling" 10/14/2019

In the rest of Monday we went and visited a less active lady named T. She was super nice and told us all about her horse and her horse riding competitions which was pretty cool. We had to keep it short because the people we were going to bring with us didn't come so we couldn't go into her house (We can't go in a house if there is just a lady or kids there. There has to be an adult male above 18 to go for safety reasons. After that, we went and gave our ministering presentation to the new Stake President after he had canceled the last 2 times. Tuesday morning I got up and made some crock pot chicken and mixed vegetables with Italian dressing. Not sure how much to use, I dumped the whole bottle of Italian dressing in. While it cooked we went to district council and had interviews with President Call. When we got back, the entire apartment smelled really strongly of Italian dressing. I ate it and it was super strong. Next time less dressing would be better. To be fair i...
