I Almost Suplex A Dog 3-29-2021

 

General Conference is this easter weekend. Watch it. I promise you won't regret it. watch here at churchofjesuschrist.org

 Miracle of the Week: This is at the front today hahaha. Further down in the email I will mention a couple lessons with people that we are teaching that went super well. I wanted to mention them there and talk about them here. In both lessons, we essentially did the same thing. We watched a short video about the suffering of Jesus Christ in His final days leading up to His death and resurrection. As we taught and testified of Jesus Christ's divinity, the Spirit was super powerful. One of the people is normally combative about what we teach but as we taught of Him, the person was calm and could offer nothing but amazement at what Christ went through for us. The other person as we testified started crying. I know that Jesus Christ lives today. I know He is the Son of God and knows us perfectly and individually. Listen the words of Christ this Easter as He speaks through His prophet and apostles at General Conference on Saturday and Sunday. You can watch it at the link above and it'll have the times. I promise that when you do, you will hear Him speaking to you directly. You will know that He knows you and loves you. I stand all amazed at Him and His love. He is the reason for Christmas and Easter. 

Tuesday nothing much happened. 

Wednesday we had some service helping out a family build a tree house. The name is slightly misleading since it is on the ground but it is being built in a copse of trees for the kids to play in. We helped dig out the 4 holes where the posts were going. We also had a lesson with someone we are teaching which went well.

Thursday we decided to show up to a family's house who their dad is getting home from deployment. We showed up and were planning on starting to help out with the yard. When we showed up the mom walked out of the house to go shopping and we were able to chat with her for a little and get to know her which was awesome. We also had a lesson where we taught the plan of salvation with a sister about to leave on her mission to her mom. It was pretty funny. 

Thursday night our landlords dog (Hope) started going beserk at 2am and barked nonstop till about 5:30 so we didn't much sleep so we had to take a nap to recover on Friday. We then went and did some yardwork for a old lady. We had a lesson with someone we are teaching that went super well. From what I have heard about the other ones, it was one of the best.

Saturday we did service almost all day. We went and helped someone we are teaching clear out their shed and organize things and throw things away. They had 2 dogs that were super fun. Then we went and helped out the mom we helped Thursday. This time when we showed up, she had a bunch of family over helping paint. They were pretty much done so we kept weeding the yard. Saturday night we let Hope out and she pooped 3 times and we ran her around so she didn't bark at 2:30am. We were very happy about that.

Sunday we actually only went to 1.5 sacrament meetings. We had a bunch of other meetings with ward mission leaders and ward councils that kept us busy. We also had a lesson with one of our newer bishops and his family. We talked about repentance and used the same fire trick that went horrible last time and set a fire but this time it went perfectly. We had a funny conversation with the bishop about who had been to more meetings and did the math that we had about the same hours at meetings (about 8 hours when we had the lesson).

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...
