A Walk In The Park 8-10-2020




Not much happened on Tuesdsay. I was exhausted from Pday so I was pretty tired and sore all day. I did make spicy beans and rice which turned out well. We had a bunch of lessons which was nice. We had a meeting with a bishop who was very impressed with us. He said that though we sometimes feel like we aren't doing anything, we are doing things that have never been done before and are like the first missionaries who often felt like they were failing. Although in lots of ways we are doing things wrong, we are learning things for the future missionaries which was really nice to hear.

Wednesday we had District Council and talked about how we can make lessons not boring for us and for the people we teach so we can keep up out energy and excitement. After we had cinnamon rolls that some sister missionaries had brought. At the end of one of our lessons we mentioned that Jesus loves us and is our brother and a little girl there's eyes went huge and she asked does God too? When we said yes, her eyes got even bigger and she was so happy which was awesome.

Thursday we had service with a lady picking up pine needles from her back yard (picking up pine needles is really annoyingly hard). I wanted to "accidently" drop a match and burn all the needles to make things go faster. We also had a couple lesson with some youth which was interesting to talk to people fairly close to our age. We also called M and talked about 1 Nephi 19.

Friday our service cancelled as did half of our lessons. We did go on a walk in the evening (though not late enough where it would be cooler unfortunately) and we ran into someone who asked us when church was because he had moved in recently. We also had a correlation meeting with the Starkweathers which was a good time as always.

Saturday we had an in person lesson with K and talked about Tithing and Fasting. I am super excited for his baptism on Saturday!

Sunday we had a bunch of meetings and lessons with people. We were pretty much busy from 9 am to about 9pm which was nice but exhausting. We did have a scripture study with a young couple and the wife reminds me a lot of Brenda which is awesome.

Miracle of the Week: We have an amazing  Stake President! We got a call from our Stake President and he wants to start having regularly scheduled meetings which is super awesome.

Quote of the Week: "We are just waiting for my mom to die. We haven't put the pillow over her head yet"

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...
