Hit And Ran 🚗💥🚚🚔 6-7-2021

 Tuesday we had transfers and Elder H got transferred out. I stayed and my new companion is Elder S who is from North Pole, Alaska. Transfers took forever so we didn't end up getting people moved until about 3:30. After dinner we had a walk with a member of our stake presidency and we met some of his neighbors and chatted with them. Later we went with our landlord to someone we hope to start teaching soon and their sprinkler system was not working so we (and by we it was mostly our landlord) fixed it.

Wednesday we tried to give the car to the missionaries who were assigned to it but they didn't have their tiwi card yet (allows them to drive missionary vehicles) so we took them to take the test to get one before taking them home. We later went on a walk and met a couple where the wife has cancer and we talked to them and asked them if they needed anything. We had a good visit with them and they were super nice. 

Thursday we walked outside to actually take the car to the other missionaries and when we walked outside we saw a couple of our neighbors outside near our car. They came over and told we just missed a moving truck back into the car and drive away. They called to police and we had to wait for him to show up. One of our neighbors tracked down the truck and found it and told the cop where it was and he went and talked to them. Our car was still road legal so once we got their info we went and gave the car to the other missionaries. 

Friday we had Multidistrict Council and we talked more about teaching like Christ and asking inspired questions. We broke out into districts and did some roleplays practicing doing that which was fun. In the evening we had a meeting with couple people from one of our ward's and gave a tutorial about how to use a document helping us know who people in the ward know. After we had a lesson with someone we are teaching over the phone and it went well. We talked about Christ's teaching that "by their fruits ye shall know them". We talked about how if something brings us peace and happiness and also brings us closer to Christ then that thing is good and invited them to reflect on what we had taught and see what the effects of those teachings were.

Saturday and Sunday I wasn't feeling well so we stayed inside and rested aside from our meetings over zoom.

Quote of the Week: "we responded to letters to Santa in English class"

Miracle of the Week: Also on Tuesday we had a walk with our stake president. When we got to his house, we say him outside talking to one of his neighbors. That neighbor was one of the people he wanted us to meet who "happened" to be outside. We were able to meet him and introduce ourselves. While talking to him another person who lived nearby who we also wanted to meet walked by and we got to chat with him as well.

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...
