Zone Conference!

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 first one in the northern end of the mission. I got to see Elder Hansen and Elder Radcliff who are 2 of my favorite people ever. Aside from just seeing people, The message was also amazing. We talked a ton about the gift of charity. President Weekes said something that stood out to me, Charity is not something you just obtain. Charity has to possess you. Charity is the pure love of christ.  A gift is something you are given by the lord. It can easily be taken away. That is why it is so important to constantly be charitable when you have it. I dont know if I said that right but I hope you get the point. 



Do you know what your next step is? Then take just that.



I had an amazing conversation with Elder Mortensen. We might have lowkey talked till 1 in the morning. We were just talking about our goals we have for ourselves. We can do anything if we put our mind to it. We live in a day and age where you can make a ton of money doing anything. One thing Elder Mortensen has decided for himself is he wants to travel the world and make social media content of the cool places he goes to. Then he has all these people he is going to meet and he can know how the world works. Then he will be able to thrive in the world at the moment.



 My goals are a little bit different. I am will own a modded tacoma that I can take up to moab and go rock climbing. I will own a boat so I can take my family out on the lake and surf. I will  become a competitive shooter for a major firearm company. I am going to go wild boar hunting with my dad in Hawaii. I am going to go bear hunting in Alaska. Among a ton of other things. I have to make life worth living. With the right work ethic and just being able to talk to people you can do anything. 



Anyways, that is the highlights. We have done a ton of member lessons in hopes to meet and get the ward to trust us in the process. It has been a blast! We also have been taking my boy Andrew Booren on splits and we played ultimate frisbee with him and his friend. I love this ward. there is so many things that have potential. They just need to have missionaries that can hold their ground and actually do work. 



I love you all and I hope you have a great 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...
