A Hurricane In Utah??? 9-14-2020

 



Monday night and Tuesday night we had east winds that hit 120 mph is some parts of the mission and got to 100 mph in Farmington. As a result we lost power from Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning. Also we spent most of the week helping clean up. When we got outside it looked like a hurricane had come through.

Since we were cleaning up a bunch and didn't have time to make food we ended up having Cafe Rio/Costa Vida 3 times in 3 days which was pretty funny but also really good so no complaints here. Also we were freaked about the food in our refrigerator and freezer going bad but fortunately everything that I am aware of survived.



We were in district council talking about having charity (the pure love of Christ) and a missionary who has been out for maybe a month said something super awesome. He quoted a scripture and explained that when if an action we are thinking about taking falls under faith, hope, or charity we will always we be "abounding in good works" which was super insightful for whenever we don't know or aren't sure what we should do.



We had a Covid scare Sunday. We had an in person lesson with a family and we found out Saturday night that they had a bunch of Covid symptoms and on this Sunday tested positive. We are fine but we are hoping they get better soon.

Miracle of the Week: Something good resulting from the winds was that we were able to while helping clean up meet a lot of people. We were able to meet members of the wards in person and even meet some people that were interested in learning more about the church.

 


Quote of the Week: "I've never told someone we are teaching not to come to church"

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...
