🎶Lightsabers Roasting On An Open Fire🎶 10-19-2020

 




On Tuesday we had a couple meetings in person including a new ward mission leader. We were able to bring him up to speed on what is going on and he seems pretty awesome. He had a super nice backyard with a fancy stream going through it. We also had a Youth Devotional with one of our wards and that went pretty well. After we spoke, the bishop got up and told an awesome story about this lady he taught and baptized in Europe who 40ish years later came and tracked him down a couple years ago.

 Wednesday we had someone came to paint our apartment which made the whole place smell like paint. The guy who did it only spoke Spanish for the most part and so one of the other missionaries in my apartment who was a Spanish missionary until recently was chatting with him. We had a youth fireside today in someone's backyard. It was a really nice yard with a pool and a koi pond as well as a fire pit and they had a BBQ and afterwards we spoke to everyone. It was a lot of fun and we were able to talk to you the youth one by one beforehand. We also met the son and daughter in law of a senior couple that works at the mission office.

Friday we had District Council and chatted about how we can make make plans and assess how we can overcome obstacles we face. We also called people to set up lessons.

Sunday morning was kinda crazy. We were leaving to go to church in the morning and when I walked outside I heard rustling nearby. When I walked over to investigate, I saw Remi from Ratatouille. There was a gray rat around 7 inches long (not including the tail). It tried to hide between 2 rocks but we grabbed it by the tail and trapped it in a home depot bucket and let our landlord know about it so we could go to church. Nothing else to crazy besides that.

Miracle of the Week: We had been having a hard time getting in contact with one of our bishops for a while but Elder V unknowingly called his wife and she picked up. We were able to set up a lesson with them for this week.

Quote of the Week: "I was going to feed it to the cat but I didn't have the heart to do it"

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...
