Cause You're Hot Then You're Cold... 10-12-2020

 




Tuesday we spent lots of the day in the area which was a good time. We had an in person lesson with an old couple who were pretty fun. After we went next door to an Italian cafe for dinner which was good but a little expensive.

Wednesday we had a youth devotional in the evening so we planned everything for it. However Elder V had a fever and a headache so we ended up cancelling a couple hours before (I felt bad for throwing the bishop under the bus to deal with that but we didn't have any other options). The other lessons we had that day I did with other missionaries as Elder V was incapacitated.

 Thursday Elder V still had a fever so nothing too crazy happened. We did a lot of planning and K passed his interview. On the recommendation of Evan I marinated some pork chops and had them. 10/10 would recommend.

Friday went and got Elder V tested for covid. He felt better today but had already scheduled the test and was like might as well just in case.

Saturday Elder V wasn't feeling well again so we stayed inside all day. It was also K baptism so we had to scramble and figure out how to get everything figured out without us being there which was hectic but fortunately it was in the afternoon which gave us time to make calls and figure everything out. The baptism was awesome to watch and K was so happy afterwards. It was also his birthday as well which made it better.

Sunday we shocked a lot of people when we showed up to church. We got the test results back Saturday night and they were negative so we went out and 4 of our wards. They announced that they are changing the stake boundaries in a couple weeks which will be interesting for us to see how that works. We got to see K at church in person for only the 3rd time which was awesome. 

Miracle of the Week: We were walking around our area one evening and a car pulled over. It was an older couple who we had talked to about their daughter in law who has siblings living with her that want to learn about the church. We chatted with them and set up a time to meet with them and the daughter in law the next day.

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...
