West Point & Pedicures 3-15-2021

Notice: Anyone who wants to update what email I send this to just respond (just to me) and let me know what email to change to.

Monday we got the news I was getting transferred so we got Fiiz and delivered it to all the district to say goodbye.

Tuesday we had transfers! I got transferred to south Bountiful. My new companion is Elder H who I was his district leader 2 months ago and is super fun to be with. He is from Buffalo NY and went to West Point for a couple years before serving his mission. Most of Tuesday was caught up finishing packing and moving. 

Wednesday morning we got a call in the morning and someone asked for some help and helped move some stuff around for him. At the end he got a call from a friend and while chatting with him he mentioned that we where there and asked if he wanted us to pray for him. The guy said no but I thought it was so cool that he did that and it wasn't a big deal at all. He asked for a blessing and I did the anointing of oil for the blessing. As I did so, I felt a rush of power from the Holy Ghost which was really nice to feel since I haven't given any blessings in a while because of Covid.

Thursday we had some service helping out in the yard for someone. As we were walking over there, it started to snow which was hilarious but we went anyways and she thought we were crazy but we still did it anyways.

Friday we had District Council and the whole thing was just our District Leader asking us questions about first ourselves than questions about who Jesus is to us and finally about the process of conversion. It was really good to see everyone's perspectives and feelings about things.

Saturday morning we went and tested the keys that we have to see what they go to. While we were there, people started showing up. One couple started following us around which was hilarious when they found out that we weren't there for the event and they were. We also got a bunch of invites to Ward Councils since the Stake President stressed doing that to them. The problem was that most of them were at the exact same time so we had figure out how to get to as many as possible. We had a good lesson with the family of someone we are teaching. We talked about having patience and how that helps us in all parts of our lives but especially as we wait on the Lord.

Sunday we ended up going to 4 Ward Councils along with 3 sacrament meetings. Not too much else. The zone leaders stopped by since they wanted to meet me and Elder H which was pretty funny since they seemed a little scared of us. I'm not THAT scary looking.

Miracle of the Week: Wednesday evening we felt like we should call one of the YW presidents about someone and when she picked up the phone she asked where we were and if we were coming. Apparently Elder H had forgot that we were supposed to be there with them at their activity because of transfer craziness. We hopped on our bikes and raced uphill to the church they were at. When we got there we could barely speak which was funny but it went well and we had a good time.

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...
