Sprinkler Systems are Terrible 👎 6-21-2021

 



Tuesday we set up service with the young men in one of our wards and we went and had that. We ended up tearing out grass and some bushes. I may or may not have broken a sprinkler head (which means I have broken at least 3 of them that I can remember on my mission).

 Wednesday we ended up doing a bunch of service. We helped two people move (in 100° heat which was not super enjoyable. After that we went on walks with two different members which was a good time.

 Thursday we had district council. Our District Leader was sick so Elder K lead that. We talked about working with stake and ward leadership and we were able to have some good brainstorming and discussion. We also had a great lesson with J (who we talked to at church last week) and her friend from P. We had our lesson all planned out and when we started my companion and I both experience what the scriptures call "a stupor of thought". We felt like we needed to change what we talked about and ended up talking about the Book of Mormon which was awesome. The spirit was super strong and we are super excited to keep meeting with her.

Nothing too crazy on Friday. We had a walk with a member who decided he wanted to drive in a 66° car instead of 100° heat which we were all okay with. He introduced us to some people and we ended by a stop at 7-11 for sole slurpees.

Sunday was Father's Day and we were speaking in one of our sacrament meetings. We spent a good chunk of Saturday writing them. I talked about how we can learn things about God from the examples of our own fathers. I have been very blessed to have a great father who is a great example to me.

Miracle of the Week: I have an awesome father and an even better Father in Heaven who both love me and help me in so many ways.

Quote of the Week: "when he starts talking about cars I just smile and nod"

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...
