Back at it again 6/8/2020


Yet again I fat thumbed a blank email. I am on fire. Idk who put the send and the attach file button so close together.

Tuesday was a grand ol' party. We were out of apartment for around 7 hours straight which was fantastic. In the morning we had a lesson. After lunch, we went on mini-exchanges! I went on a walk with Elder Morse and then after doing a little bit of planning we had a lesson which went pretty good but it definitely didn't to plan which is how it is sometimes. Then we ran over to a meeting where we planned for the upcoming months. Then we ran and grabbed dinner after another lesson and got ready for our last lesson of the day.

Wednesday was a lot more slow paced which was nice. We watched a devotional for missionaries and set up some lessons as well as had a couple.

Thursday we had District Council and we were given permission to have those in person again which was awesome! We talked about developing charity and discussed the why of missionary work.

Not much happened Friday.

Saturday almost all of our lessons cancelled which was a bummer. However, we share some of our favorite scriptures with M and she shared some of hers with us which was fun.

Sunday we went and had 3 hours of church! It was great to be there and some of the people we were hoping would come made it (though some late) which was made it even better.

Miracle of the Week: a couple of weeks ago one of our Ward Mission Leaders set up a lesson for us with a family that hadn't been to church for a while and had a kid who hadn't been baptized. We were able to have a lesson in person! Not only that. We invited him to be baptized and he was super excited and said yes!

Quote of the Week: this week's quote is from our Prophet Russell M Nelson on June 1st. Go look it up. It is a powerful message in light of everything going on but is a bit long to put in this email.

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...
