Haircuts And Lots Of Church 9-28-2020


Tuesday we were able to go to Pace's and I got a very good rainbow (slushie with ice cream in the middle) which was very good. We had a lot of lessons so we were pretty busy.

Wednesday we had another lesson with K. It has been so cool to see how he has grown in the last couple weeks. Despite normally having a hard focusing he has been locked in and really paying attention which is great.

Thursday we had our first day of Mission Conference. Elder Gonzalez of the Utah Area Presidency joined us in a mission-wide zoom call taught us. One great thing that he brought up and reminded us of is to always remember to bring our conversations to Christ who is our Savior. Unfortunately since it was over zoom it was a little hard to understand him sometimes since the connection was sometimes spotty. We also did more service cleaning up trees from the wind storm a couple weeks ago. We also helped get a basketball hoop out of a foam pit which is a lot harder than it sounds.

Friday we had the 2nd day of Mission Conference where Elder Gonzalez brought us some good ideas about teaching. In the evening we were able to have an in person lesson in a backyard which an old couple. They were super awesome and had some cool experiences they shared. The wife was a secretary to one of the Prophets (Ezra Taft Benson) and a couple of the apostles and the husband is one of the top genealogy experts in the world.

Sunday we made it to 4 sacrament meetings before having bunch of other meetings and lessons. We also spoke in one ward. I talked about how when Christ is invited into a situation in the scriptures peace and joy follows and so it is with our lives. It was also Camille's birthday!!! She is now 17 which is pretty crazy. Love you Camille! When we were walking to church, we saw a lady cleaning her windows and when we said hi she came over and apologized to us for cleaning on Sunday. I thought that was pretty funny that she thought we were the police or would be mad at her for cleaning her windows or something. 

Miracle of the Week: As more of the members of the wards get involved with us, people are starting to pop up that are interested in learning about the gospel which has been great to see.

Quote of the Week: "Hey! I know you guys!"

Pictures (definitely in order):

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...
