Hello friends and family! Hope you are all doing well! I had an amazing week this week! Super eventful lets just say.  Tuesday we had a lesson! Like an actual lesson. My second one of the mission! We just could not find anyone and it is ridiculous how not ready the people here are to hear the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her name was Jasmine. Her mom and her have had us come help out with various projects around the house and we asked if she would want to hear a message and she said yes. So this lesson went great! We invited Sister Bates to come with us because we figured she was very relateable and super fun! We will have to see how well she progresses and stuff. Chevy will have to let me know. Wednesday we had only one service and then a dinner. We went over and helped Sister Stacie pack up a lot of her stuff because she is spending the winter in Idaho with her son so that was fun. Her daughter I guess (Who is a nonmember) decided that since we have been helping her ou...

Hello people of the email list! Hope you are all doing well! Hope you had an exciting week this week! I know I have. I feel like every week as a missionary has its good and bad parts. We are definitiely very busy so that is definitely a plus. 99% of the time we are doing some sort of service or contacting or having a lesson of some sort. It will definitely be crazy when I go home and just have to live a not missionary life. Crazy stuff.  This week was kinda crazy! Nothing terribly exciting happened sadly but I will still go through every day.  Tuesday we taught the seminary lesson at 645 in the morning. Which I believe went pretty good. Maybe needed a little more to it because we kind of just winged it. But that is ok. I just hope the kids learned stuff. We then went over to Jack's house and helped him haul logs around and he fed us a delicious lunch. I had in my mind before we went over there that we should probably figure out a way to tell him we cant come help him as much b...

Alrighty people of the email list. It is that time of week again! You guys are probably sick of me by now emailing you guys every single week. But that sucks don't it. You guys signed up for it or are part of my family and are obligated to recieve these. Congrats! This week has been very productive actually! We had exchanges with the ZLs on tuesday and I felt like I learned more from this exchange then any of my other ones I have had. They both came down to LakeView because I guess they wanted to? Idk exactly why but it ended up working. We had 2 different services that day. Kind of typical for Lakeview. We went over to Jack's house and helped pull more weeds in his yard. We kind of discussed how we have been doing service for him for a long time and I guess we are not supposed to make weekly services a thing unless they are progressing. Which sadly, Jack is not. Even though we absolutley love working with jack every week because he feeds us and we have awesome conversations, h...

Zone Conference, Interviews, Allergies, And Services

Well hello people of the email list. It has been a crazy week this week. Lots and lots of different services the last little bit! Some more strange then others.  Tuesday we had the opportunity to go listen to president Weekes speak during zone conference! He talked a lot about repentance. He told us that everyone needs to repent. And that once you repent you'll be able to feel peace. I am grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. It allows me to feel clean from whatever sins I have.  Wednesday we had the opportunity to go help Jack with weeding his yard. We also got to go over to perry and Joyce Collins house for dinner.  Thursday we had an insanely busy day. We went over to Phyllis house and built a corral for her cows. We then went and helped this lady find a leak from under her house. Which I guess is against the rules. I had no idea so don't blame me. But we dug around the house trying to find the pipe that was the cause of the leak. We dug around for Like 3 hours a...

Well hello people of the email list. There has been a lot of different things happen the last week. Dont worry many of them are good. Monday we went on a desert hike over in Alturas. It was at like a tri point. It was where Cali, Nevada and Oregon all come to a point. Kind of like the 4 corners but way less cool and popular. There was not anyone there so A couple of us decided it would be cool to pee in 3 different states at once. So obviously I did. What else did you expect? We are teenage guys.  Besides that we legit did not do a lot. Until this weekend. Tuesday we went over to Jacks. He is such a cool guy. He is recovering well from his heart surgery. He even could walk up the stairs and come hangout and talk with us while we were there. He was saying it was a relief to talk to someone different. Chevy did not talk a lot which is kind of typical for him so it was just Jack and I talking with eachother.  Wednesday we decided to take a bit of a walk and go and knock on the do...
