Avada Kedavra - 3-9-2020




Tuesday we had a follow up training meeting where we talked about missionary life and how to have a good relationship with your companion. We took a generations picture with my dad, me and my son which was awesome (see below).

Wednesday we visited V and had a good chat. She has been reading her Book of Mormon but she said that she is getting her wisdom teeth taken out. Later we had a lesson with C but we had a little time beforehand so we went and visited Misty and had a great visit with her. We talked about about her priesthood blessing. We helped her recognize that she had felt the spirit after it. We went over to C's and when we got there they already had finished the lesson. Apparently we had wrote the time wrong. If we hadn't wrote the time wrong, we wouldn't have talked to M. Then since we missed C lesson we went and visited W and had an awesome lesson. We shared a video with Elder Holland bearing his testimony. Then we invited her to pray about what we had talked about previously and the spirit was there super strong.

Thursday we had District Council and Elder K talked about when we think our area in a bad way, it will be a self fulfilling prophesy. He also talked about how we need to change things up once in a while if things aren't working. Then we had a meeting with a new bishop and that's about it.

Friday we didn't do much. In the morning, Elder W tried to fix the 11 punctures in his tires unsuccessfully. While he did that I made some chocolate chip cookies. We visited some people after dinner before going to Elder K's apartment so Elder W and Elder J could go to a lesson because Elder K was sick. Then we played yugioh while we waited for our ride to come.

Saturday we had one lesson cancel after another. Not only did all our lessons cancel but everyone we tried to visit wasn't there. We did manage to talk to 1 person we wanted to. On the way to visit someone, we saw 3 flashes of green light (insert Voldemort joke here) and we kept going and we saw a yard on fire. A power pole had been broken by a car hitting it. The power went out in the neighborhood next to our area. It was crazy but the lady driving was okay.

Sunday we had Stake Conference which was awesome. President Call came as well as Elder Godoya of the presidency of the 70. They both gave awesome talks and the spirit was really strong. After we had a lesson with A and we talked about the Plan of Salvation which went well. Then we had a lesson with W and D.

Miracle of the Week: it was a couple minutes away from our lesson with A and we didn't know how we were going to teach her. Right before she got there, and idea popped in my head and we did it and it worked great.

Quote of the Week: "Oh look! He's home! Get 'em!"

Pictures (hopefully in order):
1-2. A broken power line that we had nothing to do with
3. My mission dad (left), me, my mission son (right)

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...
