RIP Teenagerhood 5-3-2021



Tuesday we were invited to play pickleball with a ward mission leader and someone we hope to start teaching which was pretty funny. The ward mission leader was clearly way better than anyone of us but we had a good time. After that we ran home, changed and went to a lesson with someone we are teaching. He feels peace and comfort when he reads the book of mormon but isn't recognizing that that is an answer from the spirit to some of his questions which was a little frustrating. Other than that I can't complain too much.

Wednesday I completed my journey through teenagerhood and turned 20. My first birthday present was my second covid vaccine shot which we felt the effects of later that day. Also, Elder and Sister Starkweather, a senior couple I served with in Roy, drove down and took my companion out for lunch and we had excellent Philly Cheesesteaks. We went on a walk with some ward missionaries which was a lot of fun.

Thursday we were absolutely destroyed by the vaccine. I was super drowsy and low energy and my companion was dizzy, had nausea, lightheaded and tired. 

Friday we were feeling a little better so we went to the service we had scheduled. We were doing very light work and after 45 minutes we were exhasted and went home and slept.

Saturday we went to service in the morning again and this time survived. We moved concrete blocks and then later took a bunch of metal junk to the dump with the Elders Quorum President.

Sunday we had our meetings and found out that someone we are teaching was in jail which was really crazy.

Quote of the Week: "Try not to be stupid"

Miracle of the Week: We were able to get fully vaccinated. It is clear to see the hand of God in the pace that the vaccine was developed and made available.

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...
