🦃🤒😷🤢💣💪🍾❗ (Or maybe Thanksgiving) 11-30-2020

 



Tuesday we were able to do service and trim bushes at a house. We did it with a guy who is leaving on his mission in a week and he was really fun to chat with. Later we had interviews with President McConkie and we talked about focusing on the things we can control and how the other things will fall into place which was good to hear from someone besides me telling myself that.

Wednesday we prepped for and had our Uplifting Thoughts stand next to a Spring Water Well that lots of people come by. We were able to have some good conversations with people. One lady started to cry after we shared one and she said she had been having a hard time since her husband had died recently. We also started to make plans to go caroling in December to people.

Thanksgiving! In the morning we had a couple lessons with people for a short time. We had a panic when we had some change of plans last second so we ended up having to run around in a panic trying to get a knife that would work to carve the turkey. We got together with our district and had district council and chatted about things. We did this while the food was cooking then after we ate a dinner with everyone which was lots of fun. After we had the rest of the day to relax.

Friday we got together with other missionaries and worked on a video for the Facebook page which was lots of fun. Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for it. After we went to Dairy Queen. One of the other missionaries took his mask off to take a bite of ice cream and the manager freaked out and started yelling at him which was pretty funny. We also had Taco Bell for lunch and they gave us free cinnamon twists which was awesome. During dinner we had 10ish minutes left before dinner was over so I was like I will take a short nap. I woke up around 45 minutes later and was like oops. Thankfully we didn't miss any appointments or anything.

Saturday was goofy. In the morning I took another missionary to get a Covid test. We showed up at 8am because that is when the mission nurse told us to be there. We texted in to get in line and they told us they didn't open till 9am. So we had to wait an hour till he could get tested. We also did more planning for our video over zoom so we should be able to film shortly.

Sunday we went to 3 sacrament meetings and lots of other meetings. We had a good lesson with a recent convert who recently was ordained an Elder and so we talked about giving blessings and things like that.

Miracle of the Week: we were able to get together for Thanksgiving! We took precautions and stuff but it was lots of fun and made it so we weren't super depressed.

Quote of the Week: "We learn of Christ and His Atonement by going to church and reading the scriptures. We come to know Christ and understand His Atonement through reaching out to Him during our trials"

Pictures (hopefully in order):

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...
