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 contact with. My dad and I talked about this maybe 2 weeks ago, but the bikes are really a blessing for this area. Though the area should not be as large it is and the other areas around me are like 2 miles long and mine is like 8-10. It just means I am going to be a skinny boy by the end of this transfer. 


One of the days we were just contacting people and we decided to stop at everyone. This was super cool because it seems like the lord was guiding us. There were times we would go into apartment complexes realise that it was the wrong address and we would talk to someone in the area and they were down to have a lesson with us. So we set up lessons all over. Saturday and sunday were nuts. We had like 8 lessons a day. Though some of them did cancel. It is still ridiculous. The work is advancing in this area. I have learned so much and it is so awesome. I am loving it right now. 


Anyways, sorry there was not a ton of crazy stuff this week. The work is going crazy here and I am so stoked to be a part of it! Love you all and I will talk to you next week!

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...
