Only A Couple Grease Fires Later... 5/11/2020




Tuesday was actually pretty eventful. In the morning, we had interviews with President Call. We had a good chat about some of the logistics of all the new missionaries coming in as well as other things. Then we had a lesson over the phone with D and L where we talked about some of the commandments. Later we had a couple zoom lessons with members before dinner. For dinner, I cooked steak for the first time (shout out to Noah for the marinade recipe and instructions) and it turned out amazing. We had a nice 1 and a half foot flare up while cooking it on our gas stove but all was well. In the evening we had a couple more lessons with members.

Wednesday was fairly uneventful. We had some lessons with members and a meeting with a bishop.

Thursday we had district council and talked about using technology to share to gospel with people. We also were able to have our fourth lesson with an 8 year old who is getting baptized on Saturday. We are teaching her 5 lessons in the 5 days before her baptism per request of her parents.

Friday we set up for A's baptism. We had to figure out a way to space out 20 chairs in a room that isn't as big as it should be but we managed. We also had a lesson with J where we played Jeopardy with her and Elder and Sister S (the senior couple missionaries) which was fun. We also had someone just come by and drop us off some steaks which was great! That's how we got the second flare up while cooking (no pictures though of this one).

Saturday A got baptized! Everything went well and it was a great experience even though we were all wearing masks and were all spread apart. Later we had a call with B and we had some YSA sister missionaries join us which was fun. Later we also had a call with M which was fun as well. 

Sunday was mother's day! My mom is awesome! We called and chatted for a little which was great.

Miracle of the Week: We were able to go do service for a lady Thursday and get out of the apartment! We thought we were going to mow her lawn but when we got there, we learned that the bishop of that ward had just come before and done it but she told us we could help take out some of her dead bushes in her backyard and we did that for a while which was nice to be outside.

Quote of the Week: "Now I can seduce girls with my fantastic cooking Skills"

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...
