Setting Fires Inside A House 3-22-2021

 Tuesday we had a lesson with a member of the stake presidency and he has the same last name of one of the ward mission leaders I had in Farmington. I asked if he was related and it ended up that it was his brother which was awesome. In the evening we had a lesson with a member family. We had called the mom about one of their neighbors and after she asked us if we could give a lesson on repentance and forgiveness for her kids. We decided that we would use a magic trick to teach it. We accidently set a post-it note on fire. Elder Hunter and I immediately tried to blow it out but we had our masks on. We were laughing so hard about trying to blow out fire with our masks on that we couldn't get enough air in our lungs to try to blow again. Eventually we got enough air and blew. This caused embers from the post-it note to fly across the room. Fortunately nothing caught on fire and the parents thought it was the funniest thing ever. The dad tried to spin it and say when we repent we can feel warm inside and one of the sons was like "I don't want to be that warm". As we were leaving, the mom was like "I'm so glad we invited you over, we will never forget that lesson" while laughing. 

Wednesday we had Zone Conference which was good. We talked a lot about planning and things along those lines. One of my favorite part was the Zone Leaders kept messing names up over and over again without realizing it. We hurried back and were able to watch a youth musical broadcast which was a lot better than I was expecting which I was happy about.

Thursday we had service helping load wood and things into a dumpster from someone who is renovating their pool. We also went on a dog walk.

Friday we had Multidistrict Council. They talked a lot about planning to find which was good. Afterwards we went to go to Fiiz but when we showed up, the line was huge so we didn't go. We went back to the people renovating their pool and broke up concrete with a sledgehammer and moved it away which was a lot of fun. We also got to talk to a lot of other people which were there.

Saturday after playing basketball in the morning we left our keys in the church gym. We had to call someone to open the door for us so we could get in and grab the keys. For dinner we went to a sit down Mexican restaurant. We ordered some nachos for an appetizer and it was so big that when our food showed up we couldn't eat much of it. We walked out with a good amount of food needless to say. We also set up some tabletop games I got for Christmas for use while calling people. They are hilariously hard.

Sunday we invited ourselves to ward councils. One of them we told them we only wanted 5-10 minutes but the bishop was so into it, asking questions and things, that it took almost 20 minutes which we were excited that they were so excited. We also went to our classic 3 sacrament meetings. We also went to the stake mission prep and we talked about using the scriptures to teach parts of the plan of salvation and addressing peoples problems they could be going through.

Quote of the Week: "Guess who may or may not have started a fire in a members home and then tried to blow it out with our masks on. 😁😅😜"

Miracle of the Week: We didn't set fire to the house and they thought it was hilarious instead of getting mad.

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...
