Guys, this week was kind of mediocre. There was not a lot going on but here are the highlights. Eagles Landing (I Think) Hike On Pday I got to go on this super cool hike over close by Oakridge. It is called something with an eagle. Your welcome. But this hike was incredible. We hiked about 3x more than we needed to because we didnt know the road went up farther but it came out to about 8 miles and the view at the top was absolutely beautiful. The pictures dont do it justice. How to build a Christlike Culture I had the opportunity to go to follow up Missionary Leadership council with my companions since Mort is a DL. President weekes got to talk to us about how important it is to build a christlike culture. So little things like how you talk around other missionaries and Obedience were all brought up. This was president Weekes last MLC so it was kind of cool to be there! I also got to do a little music thing for the departing missionary devotional and it was awesome because I couldnt st...

Well hello everyone. Its still me. I am still out here thriving. Anyways, this week has been pretty awesome actually! We had a lot of good times and we had zone conference! So here are the highlights!  Late Night Drives Tuesday was kind of a mediocre day honestly. Didn't see a ton of miracles until later in the evening. Elder Carter and Elder Nazer were on an exchange and decided to pull up and do facebook with us for the last little bit of the day. We talk for a little bit. Do a little facebook and I convinced them to let me come with them to their final thing of the night. Which was just meeting with a member. This was probably the highlight of the day. I absolutely love both Elder Carter and Nazer. I dont think I have ever laughed more in my life than when I was with these 2 guys. We just had an absolute hoot.  Zone Conference Zone conference is always one of my very favorite times of the transfer. I get to see people that I havent seen in forever! Plus this was my very fir...

How is it going everyone!? I hope you are all doing amazing! First things first, as I am typing this all out on mothers day I wanted to write a little bit about my awesome mother! She has taught me so many things. I definitely would not be the guy I am today if it wasnt for her and her amazing example to me and my siblings. I love you mom! Thank you for making me laugh every pday and just making my day awesome. Your the best mom there ever was and I know everyone on here is jealous of how awesome you are.  Anyways, mission stuff now.  On pday we somhow figured out a way to steal the zone leaders car so we had to take advantge of the opportunity to just go explore more thatn we are able to on bikes. We went to Hendricks park which is one of the coolest places and has flowers of all colors and stuff there! It was so fun going and just exploring the area and how beautiful it is! We also went and visited a bunch of simpson art things all around town. I only took pictures of and wi...

How is it going?! This is your weekly reminder of my existence! I am sure you are super happy to be hearing from me again. I am honestly surprised you guys aren't sick of me yet! Writing emails is my least favorite part of the mission! But I love you all so I endure my way through it. You're welcome.  Anyways, this week has been honestly nothing too special. It seems like Springfield is just a boring place. We did have a couple of good fun things though. So let's get into it.  Bishop's storehouse! We were asked the other day if we could be warehouse guys for the Bishops storehouse like once a week. So we get to go for a couple hours every week. It always seems to bring me back to my good ol 'sponge factory days! I get to move around pallets and mess with boxes. Sadly I do not get to drive around the fork lift. Though I wish I could. I probably could do it faster than any of the guys that are there. Not to brag or anything.  Bear! I ate dinner with a bunch o...

Well well well! This is your weekly reminder that I am still alive! Here in Springfield the people are way different than in Medford. So far they have been super nice! I have not gotten yelled at yet which is a crazy thing! Anyways, These are the Highlights Torr!! Yea, Torr is back! You guys thought you would stop hearing stories about him! The crazy thing is he came and visited me up here in Springfield! I have no idea why. He came by and we talked for a little bit. Just caught up and stuff. Then he started up on his good ol Torr things where he starts trying to lecture us on stuff that confuses all of us. I love Torr but during the middle of our little get together he started lecturing Elder Wilson just like he did to Elder Holmes. Wilson did not want to answer one of his questions so Torr went off about how everyone has talents and since Wilson didnt want to share his opinion he was an antiChrist. Wilson no longer likes Torr. I made a facebook post about him again! So that is kind o...
