🦸‍♀️🥰👩‍👦👑 - Mothers Day 5-10-2021

 Miracle of the Week: This past Sunday was Mother's Day. The true miracle of this holiday is the influence my Mom has had on me. Her love and caring have been a constant in my life that I have relied on. Among the other amazing ways she has influenced me, one is she instilled in me a love of music. One of my earliest memories is at church during hymns her telling me the words to say before singing them along with everyone else. That along with putting us to bed with a classical CD that I still recognize songs from to this day. Her diligence and love for Jesus Christ is another influence she has had on me. She has demonstrated for me as well as those around us wherever she is. She shows her love for Christ by obeying his commandments in word and deed. I love you Mom!


 Tuesday we had a walk with one of our relief society counselors over missionary work which didn't go as planned. We showed up and we started walking to someone she wanted to visit. We got there and they weren't there but their neighbors where outside and we started chatting with them. We ended up being there for almost an hours and a half since they were talking and the relief society counselor's husband went and started building chairs out of scrap wood for the neighbors kids. We already knew them but it was good to get to know them better.

Wednesday we had service and there was a super friendly cat.

Thursday we had Zone Conference which was amazing. We talked about asking better questions in lessons to have the Holy Ghost teach. We also talked about prophecies about this time and about Utah which was fun. Later we had service putting mulch down for one of our bishops. Afterwards we came home and when we got there, there were a bunch of people in the driveway and a lot of cars. We figured out eventually that our landlords daughter had received a mission call and was opening it which was cool we ended up showing up for that without planning on it.

Friday we had Multidistrict Council where we talked about teaching more like Christ did as well as more about asking question to allow the spirit to teach. Later we went on a walk with one of our bishops and while we were on that, there was a huge wind which picked up dust from the Salt Lake and blew it on us for 20ish minutes (which was nasty since the Salt Lake is pretty gross). We had a good time though and he was super helpful and we will hopefully start teaching some people he told us about.

Saturday we had service with one of ward mission leaders helping digging holes for fence posts. After that we had a walk which ended up almost 2 hours but was lots of fun. We got to meet some people who had moved in recently and get to know our area better.

Sunday we had our meetings but we had less since it was mothers day. In church there were amazing talks about the influence of mothers and righteous women on the world and on people individually. I was also able to call and talk to my mom and sang happy birthday (we are weird) to her with my family.

Quote of the Week: *hears Careless Whisper "I think I recognize the trumpets" 🤦‍♂️

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...
