Freestylin' 4/20/2020



Tuesday morning we had a call with W and talked about Easter and why it is so important with her which was fun. She had some really good questions. J (the real way to spell it) was interviewed for her baptism today and passed!

Wednesday we had a lesson with A and reviewed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also had a bunch of meeting with Bishops and some Ward Mission Leaders. We also did another Facebook live and read Alma 7 which is one of my favorite chapters.

Thursday we had District Council and the Zone Leaders and the Assistants joined it (my bosses and my boss's bosses) which was a little freaky but I think it went well. We also had a lesson with Ai today. She was being taught by missionaries in our new stake and so we set up a zoom meeting and got to know her and taught a quick lesson.

Friday was a bit of a slow day. We set up some things for J's baptism and also had another Facebook live scripture study. We read from the New Testament and I didn't have quite as much insight as I normally would but I thought it went alright. Apparently Elder W's dad watched all of it which was awesome because he isn't a member.

Saturday J got baptized!!! It was definitely weird that almost nobody was there in person but a bunch of people watched over zoom. They had me conduct the meeting and I was like I have no idea how to do this so I definitely winged it. After the baptism, a bunch of people from the ward parked in the parking lot and when J walked outside, the all were honking their horns and stuff to congratulate her which was awesome. Later we called B and talked to her about the Book of Mormon. 

Sunday we joined a ward council and talked with them and taught them all a lesson which was pretty fun. We also had a lesson with this lady who is super awesome and hopefully we will have another with her soon.

Miracle of the Week: This week was J's baptism and as we were preparing for that, we were asking her for some information that we needed in order to for her to be baptized. I thought that we needed signatures from one source but I asked J just to be sure and it turned out that we needed signatures from some completely different people. However, J was able to get those signatures before her baptism so it could happen as planned.

Quote of the Week: "Because we aren't perfect, we are going to make decisions that we regret. I happen to make a lot of those kind of decisions"

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...
