Mini-Horses 1/13/2020


This week was weird. We ran into a bunch of people this week who tried to tell us what we believed 
which was kinda annoying. I don't try to tell you what you believe. We ask and try to understand where people are coming from and avoid making assumptions. Then people are like you believe this and that and I'm like um no. We don't. Check your facts before you try and tell someone what they believe. This week, make an extra effort to understand what other people think before you open your mouth.

Thursday we had district council in the morning. On highlight was that we talked about the importance of the helping people to read and gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon. That evening we talked to one of our bishops and helped support someone in his interview.

Friday we went and helped T build more of his shelf. After that, we went to a skate park and was there for a little using our bikes on it. In the evening, we had a lesson with C about the Restoration. We showed him the Ask of God video and the spirit was super strong. Then we went to a lesson with W where we read Alma 7 and talked about the Atonement which is one of my favorite topics.

Saturday morning we and 2 other missionaries helped this old lady move a bunch of her furniture around which was a lot of work. Then we helped teach the senior missionaries over our area how to us area book (the missionary planning app). Later in the day, we were walking to an appointment and a member that was driving a party bus asked if we wanted a  ride so we naturally said of course (nobody else was in the bus besides us). We then had 2 consecutive visits with people that tried to bash with us. One guy took a Book of Mormon and said he was going to read it. The other guy, we answered all of his questions and he couldn't answer any of ours but still wouldn't take a Book of Mormon. Oh well.
 
Sunday was interesting. We went to 2 churches but in between we went to the Roy Bible Church which was down the street. It certainly was an interesting experience. Going there definitely strengthened my testimony of why I am out here serving my mission. Later we watched the Young Adults general broadcast.

Miracle of the Week: This week I prayed a lot to have an increased desire to go out despite the cold and snow and this week I had a unflappable cheery attitude while being outside contacting people. 

Quote of the Week: "Ah, the lawyers have returned"

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 ...

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...
