I Am Going To Be A Dad!!

Well hello people of the email list! This is Elder Reynolds! This week I recieved some exciting news. Transfers! I am staying here in the Medford 3rd Ward and Elder Larsen is moving to Eagle Point. Which is still in my zone! So I will still get to see him! His new comp is Elder Walker, he is the one that believes that birds arent real so that is fun he gets to come back with me. I also dont know who my companion is yet because I am training! In "my mission family" that means I get a son. Dont ask me who the mom is because I have no Idea! But I do get a son! Ill have to tell you guys about him next week! Anyways, thats the good news. These are the highlights.


Dinner at T-house!
Brother Malmgrin told us that he would take us to Texas Roadhouse for dinner one night! While we were there there were a couple of birthdays. Texas roadhouse workers go and make the birthday person sit on the saddle. So Elder Larsen and I made the joke saying that we were going to tell them that it was brother Malmgrin's birthday too. He did not like that very much and told us that if we did he would shoot the place up. So that was kind of special!


Visiting the Care Center!
So in our dot contacting efforts, we stopped at an elderly care facility. There were 3 different people that lived there. Every one of them told us that they want us to come visit again and want to figure out a way to come to church again. So that was super cool! 


Christmas Party
Our ward did a Christmas Party on Friday night and it was super cool! We had 2 different people we have been teaching show up and they seemed like that they really enjoyed it! One of them we have been trying to get in contact with all transfer showed up and it was so cool! She has twin daughters and they were so adorable! Their names were Bee and Iris. I hope to see them again this next transfer. 


Exchanges with Sikaleti
Elder Sikaleti is going home this week! He is so ready to go home and to see his fiance back at home. Because of this, he was not very motivated to do missionary work. So I kind of drug him around all day but it is all right! We were able to go to the Hoovers house for dinner and it was so fun! We also did a "Funeral" because in mission language he is going home. All the Elders in the zone learned the "Haka" which is a tongan dance for Sika for his funeral. It was so cool! 


Anyways, It is not a very exciting email this week except for transfer news but I promise next week will be funner because of my new comp and having to be the bossman of my area. I am kind of stoked for this week! It should be great! 


I love you all and I hope you all have an absolutely incredible week this week! Keep reading your scriptures and remember to Light the World in light of the Christmas Season! Matthew 5:16 says "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" I promise as you light the world with Christ you will be blessed. I have seen it. I try to light the world the best I can. Have an amazing week this week! Merry Christmas!

Introducing Bishops Son To Anti

Hello everyone! No I did not forget to write my email this week. It was really weird last night and this morning and so I decided it was fine to write it tonight. I hope everyone is doing well! This week was full of ups and downs so lets get right into it.  Nostalgia On Tuesday I had the opportunity to go on an exchange with my old companion Elder Holmes. He was one of my favorites so I was very excited to see him and work with him for the day! We decided to make some chicken wings for nostalgic purposes. When we were together over a year ago the ward was not the best at feeding us. So we would make these chicken wings that had a delicious sauce that we had. It was a combination of Parmeson Garlic Buffalo Wild Wings and chic-fil-a sauce! Dont knock it till you try it. Though you dont need to look at the nutrition label when you are eating them. Trust me when I say that. But it was delicous. We had lots of good talks and went and said hi to a couple of his people he used to teach wh...

Birthday!

Hello people of the email list! Welcome to this weeks email! This week was kind of slow except for the last couple days so I guess lets get into it.  John's situation: Well we learned that my good friend and only progressing person that we are teaching had his hours changed. So that means he cannot really do our 3 meetings a week and it might be back to 1. We are hoping that he will want to meet with us at his own home. I guess this is the ultimate test of faith. Does he really want to keep progressing or does he want to just drop it right there? I guess we will find out! District council: This week in district council we talked a ton about Covenants and how important they are. President Nelson talks about how once you make a covenant with our Heavenly Father it is like a chain. He will never give up on you. Even if someone might not be living the covenants fully he will still be willing to help you get back on track and hold on to the iron rod. I absolutely love talking about cove...

Hello Hello my friends and my family! I hope you are all doing well! Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Especially the Gilbertsons for driving all the way from Merlin to come hangout with me! I love you guys! I appreciate the support! Now I cant blame all my problems on my troubled teenage years! But dont worry, I know guys that never seem to grow out of being a teenager! ;) *Cough* my dad *Cough.  Anyways, This week has been really interesting! Ever since ive been put into the area I feel like I have been struggling. I went from Merlin to here. Where we were teaching a ton of people to nobody. So this week I decided to put my head down and just get as much done as possible.  Last week at interviews I was talking to president and he told me he has been wanting to change our area as well as the area next to ours to a bike share area. He knows our area has a ton of hills and it it just a pain to bike up those things. So we get the car 2-3 days a week. Tuesday and wednesday a...
