Deflate Gate: Pumkin Edition 12/23/2019


Tuesday morning we went to a senior center and helped the people there do some exercises. Then we had a meeting with the senior couple over lunch. We taught them the restoration so they can have an idea of how to do it. After that, we went and shared the Christmas message with people. Then we had a lesson with D where we talked about commandments. After, we went and played volleyball.

Wednesday we went to a different senior center and made puzzles and played go fish. We shared the Christmas message with the B family and contacted a bunch of people. My nose started bleeding right before we had a meeting with one of our bishops. In the evening we were freezing and needed to go to the bathroom so we went to a grocery store and went to the bathroom before buying ice cream.

Thursday we ran into the 2 cutest dogs I've ever seen and it was funny because they were behind a fence that was so short that when they stood up on their hind legs, they were a foot over it but they were super chill. We talked to to someone who used to be taught and they were interested in being taught again which was awesome. In the evening D was interviewed for baptism.

Friday morning we had district council. Our district leader was sick so he had everyone give a 5 minute training on something. After that, we went and helped W move some furniture. Then we went and made programs for the baptism and let people know about it. After dinner, we had a lesson with a recent convert about his baptism and the temple. It was weird because the mom cancelled the lesson then in 10 minutes uncancelled a lesson which never happens. I'm not complaining though.

Saturday morning we went and helped load some bags of leaves into a truck. The first bag I picked up ripped and dumped a bunch of nasty water all over my jeans. After that we changed and went to another senior center and played a trivia game with an old lady. Then we ran and set up for the baptism. The baptism went well and I had a big grin on my face the whole time. That evening we had a Christmas party at the window house where we played pool.

Sunday we went to our 3 sacrament meetings and some of the people we invited to come came which was nice. In one of the meetings, 2 people preformed the Piano Guys version of O come, O come, Emmanuel which was super pretty and made me tear up. D was confirmed during the meeting and W expressed a desire to go to the temple which was awesome. The missionary who baptized D's brother 5ish years ago baptized and confirmed D.

Miracle of the week: Sunday Evening we had nothing to do after dinner. We came out and were tired and didn't want to do anything. We were walking around when we had the thought to go visit someone we were teaching that is hard to catch at home. We went and had an awesome lesson about the importance of prophets and apostles.

Quote of the Week: "We're in America, sing in Fahrenheit!"

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 ...

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.
