Woody!! 12/16/2019


Tuesday morning we went to the senior center again and set up more Christmas decorations. There was glitter everywhere which was awful (glitter is of the devil). Afterwards, a senior couple picked us up and we had a correlation meeting with them over lunch. I realized that the guy that told the cheese-it story last week looks a lot like Woody from Psych. They look very similar and they are both hilarious. We then had a lesson with D about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After that, we went and played volleyball which was a blast.

On Wednesday we went to the mission office and rehearsed our musical presentation for zone conference. That took up most of the day. That evening we had another Christmas Party and I sat on Santa's lap.

Zone Conference! We were at the mission office for zone conference from 8am to 4pm. It was intense. Elder Funk of the 70 and his wife were there. President Call said something that stuck out to me. He said that the consequence of serving God is receiving power to make more of our lives that we can do ourselves. When we are obedient, we have power. Obedience=Power. After that, we had a lesson with D where we finished the Plan of Salvation. Towards the end of the lesson he tells us that he was having a bad day but when we came in he was happy. That put a big smile on my face. We told him that it was the Spirit bearing testimony to him. Later we went and visited another guy who gave us some homemade fudge and caramel. I'm crackers about cheese. Then we went to an appointment where the guy opened the door and said "this is the wrong day, it's not Thursday". We thought he was messing with us so we stood there. Eventually he figured out that it was indeed Thursday but we rescheduled with him.

Friday we went and helped a member fix his TV sound system by trouble shooting his headphones that he connects. We eventually figured out by process of elimination that the extension cord was the problem. After we helped out with his shelf some  more and did some sanding. During planning, Elder S knitted a beanie but ran out of yarn so it looks more like a hot pad. For dinner, we went to an amazing Korean restaurant and I got some excellent Curry Udon. After, we went to another Christmas party.


Saturday was crazy so here are some highlights. We walked like we were pioneer children. Elder S trainer came with his girlfriend and picked us up and took us to Fiiz and that was a good time. We went to a Spanish ward Christmas party and had some excellent barbacoa tacos.

Sunday we went to 3 churches and went around and shared Christmas message with a bunch of people.

This weeks random sentence is from Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-rabbit. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Miracle of the Week: We were not teaching anyone in one of the wards and we told the Ward Mission Leader that we would have someone we were teaching in his ward the next time we saw him. The night before we saw him again, we were wandering around his ward talking to people and we went to someone that used to be taught and talked to him. Apparently he had been reading a little bit of the Book of Mormon and we set up a time where we could come back and talk more with him.

Quote of the week: ""Ever since my husband had a stroke, I can't pronounce words right. Maybe I had a sympathy stroke."

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...
