Hidden Mickeys

Hello Everyone! Another week has gone by! Time flies when your having fun I guess. I really dont have a ton to talk about this week but here are the highlights!



Tuesday was by far the busiest day this week. We had a ton of different less active members we had lessons with. One of them has been inactive for 15 years. We show up and we talk about their life story and they said they had issues with some people from the ward. But that was 15 years ago. So when we asked if she wants to give church another try she... still said no. Oh well. Her husband was showing us his cool cars though! He said that he has been doing mechanic work since he was like 14 years old. He has been buying and trading old classic cars for a long time. He has 2 at the moment. He showed us his 1946 Chevy Suburban and e also had a Model T but they had so much junk in their Garage that we didnt get to see it. I figured Papa would appreciate those! 



That same day ww had another lesson with another less active family. We show up and they were one of the nicest people ever! We talked about temples and how amazing they are. They have been less active for like 3 years since covid. They did talk about how it was about time that they were to come back to church and the Son talked about how he wants to go to the temple! They seem super promising. We will try to meet with them on Tuesdays. 



On Thursday we got to go up to the Portland temple for our Pday! I love the temple so much! It is incredible every time I go! The temple was massive!  After our session me and a couple other elders start heading out and we got lost trying to find our way back to the dressing room. We ended up over a the baptistry and getting back from there. It was very strange. All the workers were looking at us like we were Idiots. It was very funny. I also was looking at the Facsimilies in the book of Abraham and it talked about how there are certain symbols that are in the Holy temple of God! I was looking for them going through the temple and I could not find them! My mom talked about how it was like the hidden Mickeys at Disneyland!  So next time you guys are going through the temple you guys better be keeping your eyes out for the hidden Mickeys! 



Last experience. On Sunday we decided to use our dinner hour and go hit some baseballs over by the church building with Elder Lawson and Larson. So we are hitting and Elder Lawson pops one up and it goes into the backyard of the house behind us. So we go to knock on the door of this guy to retrieve the ball. He goes and gets it for us and started talking to us for a minute saying he appreciates us for not just jumping the fence to get the ball. As we were leaving he calls us back and he walks towards us with tears in his eyes. He told us that he was not mormon but he was just going through a lot and needed all the prayers he can get. So please keep Darryl in your prayers. We will be checking in with him on Wednesday. This seriously was one of the strongest spiritual experiences I have had on the mission. Instantly we were getting goosebumps and just felt the spirit very strong. Please keep him in your prayers!



I am going to be honest. I have no idea what else to talk about so I am going to just end it by saying I love you all and I hope you guys are doing well. If you guys want please message me and Id love to talk with you!

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...
