Return Of The Lost Sheep!

Image
Hello hello hello! Welcome everyone to my weekly email. This week has not had a ton of super interesting things but I will tell you all about it. At least the highlights! The Lost Sheep!  These last few weeks I have been trying to work with a newly reactivated member named Bryan. He has been inactive for the last 20 ish years and then I knocked on the door. This was a little while ago and then that sunday he came in and asked for a priesthood blessing. He said he has been going through a lot of crap and he felt like he needed to be changing it around. So I have been supporting him the last little while and he has been making the commitments to come back to church and to switch his life around. I am so proud of him. Sometimes missionary work is not about the numbers. There is a huge number of Inactivity in this area and Elder Holmes and I have been working out behinds off trying to get them to come back.  TorrWineTrout Today we ran into this guy named Torr out on the street.

In A Trio With A Nonmember!!

What is up!? How is everyone doing? I hope you all are doing well and I hope you have learned something new this week! I surely have! Anyways, you guys know the drill ill get into the highlights! TRIO WITH JORDAN Well one of the first things we did this week that was different was when Jordan asked if he could come talk to everyone and "Preach the word" With us! We were kind of skeptical about it just because he does not know everything to say and stuff. Not saying I do but you guys get the gist. Well he comes with us and I feel like he has been able to learn so much just from that one experience. He told us that we are pretty much at a war of words. So it was a perfect opportunity to teach about opposition in all things. I think it is really cool how much he has progressed even in the last little bit. We are hoping to keep meeting with him and just to read and help him learn so much. Paul the Tattoo Artist! So there we were just about to finish up the day after a long long d...

Opposition In All Things

Image
Well Hello people of the email list. It is that time of week again! So lets get started with the highlights! The good and the Bad Well this week honestly was not that crazy. We had a ton of different contacting things we did. We had lessons fall through and it was just very very busy. I did learn one very important thing though. There is opposition in all things. One of my young mens leaders had a really cool lesson while I was in Deacons Quorum and it showed this principle very well. He asked us one very simple question, "What are the 2 biggest uses of the internet?" This stumped us for a minute and we just did not know. So he told us the answer, Pornography and Family history. I mean I am not sure how accurate this is but it did paint a giant picture in my head. One of those things bring families closer together and the other tears them apart. 2 extremes on the opposite ends of the spectrum.  Lets just say I have experienced that first hand out here the last couple weeks. W...

The Bikes Are A Blessing!

How is it going everyone! I hope you are all doing well! You guys get the drill. Lets get into it!  This week has been absolutely nuts! It has been so jam packed with just texting calling and visiting people.  Our whole purpose has been to make lessons with people. Find potential new people and just go crazy with missionary work! Our whole goal kind of as a joke but not really is to have so many different lessons and things to do they have to give us a car so that we can keep up with all the work.  Bikes are legendary Though it would be so nice to have a car, I am kind of on the fence about it anyway. Because my companion and I have learned one thing. STOP AT EVERY SINGLE PERSON! Once we do that and just talk to them and ask them if they would like a message it works sometimes! Obviously not everyone is interested but there was one day we were doing contacting in a more congested area and we set up 6 different lessons just from stopping and talking to everyone we come in ...
