DMV Squad 6/15/2020


Transfers happened on Tuesday and they split our area. Elder G went to one stake and I went to the other. My new companion is Elder F and he is from northern Virginia which is awesome and Elder G new companion is Elder W! Most of the day was spent moving things around and moving people in. Normally we find out who is moving where on Monday and we move Wednesday but they changed it on us and told us Monday night that we were transferring Tuesday. They also took my car away and I am no longer the district leader which is nice.

Wednesday we had an orientation for Elder F at the mission office. It was pretty much the same as it was when we went for Elder G so I was fairly bored but oh well. After lunch, we had a call with M and read from the Book of Mormon. Aside from that, not much happened.

Thursday we had District Council and it was nice not to have to plan that out and run it. The rest of the day we had a lot of meetings with leaders in the stake.

Friday we taught the S a practice lesson and called a bunch of people to set up lessons. We also had a lesson with a young couple that is working towards getting sealed in the temple and watched a video by Elder Holland called "Sanctify Yourselves" which is really awesome. Elder F also had an interview in the morning.

Saturday we had the worst luck with calling people. we called around 25 people and a grand total of 1 person picked up the phone. Another person called us back later which was nice. One guy we talked to had what sounded like popcorn popping in the background and it was really hard to hear him which also made it hard to take him seriously.

Sunday we went to 2 church meetings. In between them, we had lunch as well as a meeting with a bishop. After the second one, we had another meeting with a bishop. We rode our bikes to church and it was the furthest I had ridden in a while which was nice. We then called some people to set up lessons and people actually picked up!

Miracle of the Week: We had another lesson with K (in person) and figured out a date for his baptism!

Quote of the Week: "Why does everyone keep asking me to say the prayer? You're the new guy."

No pictures this week (sorry dad)

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...
