Covid, Fire, and Krispy Kreme 3-1-2021

 Yes I am still alive and doing fine. Don't get an aneurism from the title.

 On Tuesday we had District Council which was a party. We practiced teaching simply and turned into a competition between senior and junior companions. While these were going on, President Call and Sister Call walked in and were very confused on what was going on. After I explained what we were doing, he seemed to like it which was good. President Call liking something is always a good sign.

Wednesday we had exchanges and went to the mission office to swap what bike Elder R is borrowing from the mission. On the way back, we stopped by Krispy Kreme and got some doughnuts for the district since it was one of the sister's birthday. When we showed up to give them to her and sing she wasn't there which was awkward so we left the doughnuts at their apartment. At night after 9 I had everyone in the district hop on a video chat and we sang happy birthday. It was pretty funny to watch everyone try to figure out why I had everyone hop on (though it didn't take too long).

 Thursday we had a lots of lessons with people. We also had a meeting with our Stake President and President McConkie and talked about questions and ways to improve.

 Friday morning we got a text from someone who is about to go on his mission asking if we could meet that morning. I was kinda worried because I wasn't sure what he wanted to talk about. We got there and we went on a walk and chatted about things. During that he told us about how he had a family member pass and wasn't sure if he should delay his mission another 6 weeks (he already had once due to injury) and visit family and attend the services or to leave. When he asked us our thoughts I was like why are you asking us. I felt like he should leave on his mission but I also felt like he could come to that decision on his own. I also didn't want it to come across as me just saying go because I am a missionary myself. After chatting about it for a little he told us that he felt like he should go and that chatting with us helped him realize that is what he needed to do.

Saturday we did more driving around. We went to the mission office to drop something off and then when we showed up we remembered the mission office is closed on Saturday so we went and delivered it directly to them instead and grabbed some food on the way back. We also walked some dogs. In the beginning it was super cold and was snowing slightly but about halfway through the sun came out and the temperature shot up and we were franticly taking off our layers and coats.

Sunday we had our standard bunch of meetings. We spoke in one sacrament meeting along with the Elders Quorum Councilor over missionary work who we really like.

Miracle of the Week: While on exchanges with Elder C, Elder R wasn't feeling well (and convienietly left that information out). He was told to go get tested for covid but we got the news back that it was not covid for which we were very grateful.

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 ...

Handcuffs, a Salon and lots of Ice Cream 7-20-2021

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...
