Livin It Up! Molly Grace's Baptism!

Image
Hello everybody! I hope you are all doing fantastic! This is my 1567 email! So yea lets get into it!  Molly Grace Larington So last week I left yall off with a little bit of a cliffhanger! Because I like keeping yall on your toes! You know me! But  my suprise that I had for you guys was Molly Grace's baptism!  Story time, so Molly Grace used to live in the area years back and she has all these friends that are in my ward including one of her best friends Alexis Deluna. So long lost friends call eachother up and Molly Grace arranges to come live with the Delunas for the summer! So she arrives and she lives with the DeLunas. Her family back home were less actives because of a bunch of things going on in their ward but she was never baptised. So as she is living with the Delunas she is ilving the gospel. She prays and reads scriptures with family she prays before every meal, she goes to church and all that.  So after a month or 2 of living with the Delunas and living th...

What is up everybody! Your Boy has hit a year!! Hope yall arent missing me too much yet! We are on the downhill slope!  This week has been absolutely nuts! I guess that is fitting for being out for a year! So lets get into the highlights! Andrew's Mission Call! My good friend Andrew Booren opened up his mission call on Tuesday! We went and got Menchies to go celebrate! He is going to somewhere in Brazil! I don't know how to pronounce it all! Sorry guys! Starts with an R I think. Anyways, super excited for him! I hope I get to stay to watch him leave but that means I would have to stay here for another 2 transfers so I guess we will have to see what happens.  MLC! President Cornelius told us on Tuesday that he wanted us to go into Eugene to go to MLC with the Zone leaders and STLs. Kind of last minute but it was awesome! I got to see a couple of friends I havent seen in a while and President and Sister Cornelius made white chicken chili for everyone! this is so awesome! We talk...

Hello Hello Hello! It is me! If your getting these emails and you have no idea who I am than that is your own fault and you get to suck it up! Youve gotten a couple of these.  This week was alright! Nothing crazy interesting but better than last week! Here are the highlights Transfers! This week was transfers! Not much changed actually! Both me and Elder Tufuga stayed together and so did our whole district! So that is kind of cool! I realised that I am getting sorta old in the mission because I had a ton of friends that ive known since the beginning go home this transfer. My Companion Elder Chevy was one of them! As well as my buddy Elder Pack that I've known since I went to Medford 9 months ago. Those were the 2 big ones but it is kind of crazy to think that they were about how old I am right now when I met them. Almost at a year!! Anyways, with transfers we got to see a bunch of missionaries I havent seen in forever! Elder Larson finnally left the Medford/Central Point valley and...

4th Of July

Well this week was one of the least exciting weeks on the mission! We had so many things just cancel and really nothing happened. So this is going to be one of my shortest emails. I did have one very valuable lesson that got reminded to me this week though.  Gratitude is something that a lot of people take for granted. Gratitude is so important if you are wanting to stay happy during hard things! One of the Elders that we hangout with pretty often grew up in a very very wealthy family and went to mexico like every weekend to go surfing. It is crazy! But out here he is always complaining about other people and about how hed always rather be home and talking like everything he says is factual. He always ticks people off and is just not very fun to be around. So my companion and I decided to bring it up to him in hopes that we can help him become a better guy and everyone can be happier!  We inviteed him and his comp to come over and we made some delicious food. We started talkin...

Exchanges And President Cornelius

Hello hello hello! I swear it was just yesterday I was writing one of these. The weeks are flying by. In a couple weeks I am at my year mark! So that is exciting. Anyways, here are the highlights ZL Exchanges We had yet another exchange with the zone leaders! I went with Elder Layton for the day over in 4th ward. I got to drive around the truck! So that is a plus! We had to go over to the office for a little while because Elder Layton is an office missionary. There was not a ton going on it honestly was pretty lame because I didnt have anything going on. But the rest of the day was alright. We just did a ton of contacting. Sounds like a typical day out on the mission. President Cornelius! Wednesday we had Zone Conference and MLC! So we spent all day over in Eugene doing meetings. We got over there at 930 for MLC and had the meeting until 1230 and then Zone Conference started at 2. We did get to meet our new Mission president though! He has definitely already changed a ton about the mis...
