I Totally Forgot It Was Fast Sunday 2/3/2020


On Tuesday we went to a senior center and visited some of the people there. Later, we went and talked to V who was having a bad day. Hopefully we made it better. We were finally able to catch a family home (we have been going by for a couple months to talk to them) and talk to them which was good. At the end they let in their 3 enormous dogs loose inside and they all were super energetic and jumping all over us which was tragic to our nice clothes (RIP). Then we talked to a super chill guy who used to be taught and set up a time to come back. Then we had a short lesson with D, D, and W.

Wednesday I didn't write in my journal so I have no idea what happened

Thursday I went on exchanges with Elder K. I knew him a little bit from when I was down in Woods Cross but we spent the day together and it was a blast! We had a good time talking about nerdy stuff throughout the day. We also had a great discussion about some concerns and questions that I had. Then we went and talked to some people before dinner. One guy we talked to invited us in and told us all about the impeachment hearings and the Beervirus that apparently is a thing (who knew? Not me). After dinner, we stayed and talked about missionary work with the dad of the family we ate with as he was over missionary work in that area.

Friday we went and talked to L and set up a time to come by and have a lesson. Then we went and had a lesson with K and her dad who we had been trying to find a time for a while to sit down with and talked about the Restoration.

Saturday we went with Elder J and K and helped a family move into their new house. We loaded up from their storage unit and took the stuff to their house and helped bring it in. Then we went over and visited J and B and watched a video about addiction and the atonement and talked about it. After dinner, we were walking around and stopped and talked to this guy who works for and has done Demolition Derby and had a nice chat with him about that and other things. Later, one of Elder SH's old companions was in town and took us out and chatted over some Fiiz.

Sunday we went to our 2 sacrament meetings. Both meetings were really good with some really powerful testimonies that were shared. Then we went and had lessons with C and a new person named A. After dinner we went and visted a bunch of people but everyone was either gone or watching the Super Bowl and didn't want to talk to us (I don't blame them too much). Then we went and talked to the friends of some people we are teaching and talked to them about how we can help them.

Miracle of the Week: We invited C to be baptized and she said yes! We only met her last week. On Sunday she didn't want to church but we went by her house and tried to get her to come and she and her mom and said she'd think about it. At the end of the meeting I felt like I should go up and bear my testimony. I did and after the meeting, she came in and had heard my testimony. They came and had appreciated my testimony which was great.

Quote of the Week: “There is absolutely no point in doing missionary work unless we hold on to the fruits of that effort. The two must be inseparable. … Every convert is a great and serious responsibility”

Pictures (Hopefully in order :P)

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...
