Exchanges With The APs!?!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well! My pday is actually on Thursday this next week because we get to go to the temple! But I like writing my emails on sunday so your still going to get them at this time! Your welcome! This week has definitely been really special! I guess here are the highlights!



The Youth BBQ

Our ward members put together a BBQ for the Youth as kind of a start for the summertime! They asked if we wanted to come along! I guess we are young enough! Well we show up and we eat some food start talking to the 5th ward Elders because they were there too and we see a ton of the kids start charging at us! They had a ton of water balloons! Lets just say us poor Elders got ambushed with water balloons and got a little wet. So unfortunate! 



Exchanges with the APs! 

Out of nowhere Elder Kynaston and Robison message Elder Tufuga and I and ask if they could go on exchanges with us! I have not heard of this before actually! So the Assistants got to hangout with us for the day! Lets just say our day was packed full of contacts to the brim! Elder Robison is a very cool guy! We got to know him very well. It was a very fun time! 



The Day that Everything Fell Through!

Saturday was supposed to be our most busy day of the week! We had like 5 lessons! As we went throughout the morning getting our workout in and our studies we would randomly get a text saying they had to move it to a different day or they were sick or whatever else excuses they could make. It was very sad. We had another day of contacting. Just super boring. 



Well sorry I didnt have that many cool stories for the week. I have been reading this book called Atomic Habits by James Clear. It just talks about how to easily build up good habits and tear away bad ones! I really enjoyed the book and if you guys want you could check it out! There is 2 different quotes that I really liked in it. "What is immediately REWARDED IS REPEATED, what is immediately PUNISHED IS AVOIDED. Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard." and "NEVER MISS TWICE! If you miss one day, try to get back on track as quickly as possible!" I really have liked this book so far because I have been working on making a habit with things like working out and eating healthier and stuff! It has just helped me make ideas and have helped inspire me to do better! 



Anyways, I love you all and ill email you guys next week! Take Care!

Ya know, I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I really do, I have had so many experiences this week that has been absolutely incredible. I have said this so many times to lots of people but I honestly think this area that I am serving in is the most elect of every area I have served in. With the end of the month coming in we had to do a lot of numbers stuff. We learned that we were the highest teaching area in the zone that is not YSA. YSA is always crazy high. A couple weeks ago I was told that they felt like I was finishing at a sprint. I had so many things going my way and I absolutely was trying my heart out. This week I knew was going to be one of the fastest weeks I have had on the mission. I have loved every second of it.  Monday we decided to go to crater Lake. Another full circle moment for me. My second pday in the mission I was able to go to Crater Lake with My trainer Elder Kobob Hansen. Now my second to last pday in the mission I am going to crater lake, how fun is that?...

For everyone who doesn’t know, Tysen is coming home on Friday! We are thrilled to death for the upcoming battle of Tysen vs. Reese! It’s going to be the match of the century that you don’t want to miss!  In all seriousness though, I am so excited to have my big little brother back. Two years feels like a long time to go without seeing someone and I missed him. Take that in Ty because you won’t hear me say that often. Also he offered to help me take names to the temple so I can finally have those male names I’ve saved up done!  Outreach Program!  In the meantime though, I’ll tell you all about the Outreach Program at Family Search! The basis of family search is to help people find their ancestors and also share their own history. I work there anyways and I was approached by some mission leaders a while ago asking if I’d work in the Outreach Program. At first I was reluctant because at that time my schedule was full and I liked it how it was. Then summer came and I needed t...

Hey Hey Hey! How are you all doing?  I have been reflecting a lot about my mission and about my life as I am coming to a close. These 2 years that I have been given to serve the lord has flown by. I remember hearing it at the beginning of my mission. But now that I am here it just is crazy. Ive had almost the whole ward ask me if I am "trunky" Trust me I have been trying to stay motivated and keep sprinting. I feel like the last transfer of your mission is always the one that you remember it by. If you keep running full speed the whole last transfer it is way better. Do not lwt yourself slack. I was told for the first time on tuesday that the leadership of the zone is proud of me. President relayed this message to me during interviews. I am usually the project for leadership so this is a pleasent change.  Anyways, lets get into the week.  Wednesday we had 2 different services. We had one with this lady named Rosy. She needed help moving. She was living in a hotel and had ...
