WIZ TOWN

Hello Hello Hello! I hope everyone is doing well! This week was very eventful! So lets get right into it!


On Monday I got a phone call from President Yukon and he told me I was leaving Springfield! I have no idea why he wanted to tell me so early. He might have gotten after me about a couple of things and it just slipped out. Idk. But on monday I knew my transfer news a day before everyone else! 


The next couple of days were very sad. Tuesday I messaged a bunch of the cooler members that I was leaving and that I wanted to come by and say goodbye before I left! So we spent the majority of the evening hanging out and serving the Nelsons as well as we went and ate some pizza with them! Wednesday I went and we said goodbye to the Delunas. I really am going to miss everyone in springfield 3rd ward. I was hoping to stay to see Drew off to brazil but I guess God knows where I need to be going! 


Now lets talk about my new area! drum roll please! Merlin! the only reason I knew where Merlin was was because Elder Holmes served there for a little while! It is a little town just north of Grants Pass. It has around 1500 people in it. Im back in another little town baby! My apartment is a 2x2 square foot cabin that is on one of our members property! When I first learned that it was tiny I was almost dreading coming here. It doesnt even have an oven. The shower is legit tiny. But when I got here and had to drive through the country to get here I was just in awe of the area around me. It legitamitely feels like Im in duck creek. I live on a ranch with all sorts of critters. They have a Dog, 2 cats, horses, chickens and plus tons of squirrells and coyotes. I am absolutely loving it here so far! I go out to the barn to go workout and Blue the dog comes and hangs out with me while I am working out. I dont even know, I am loving it here!


 The last couple of days we have had member meals which is super fun! I got to meet the infamous Mama Goodpasture and her hilarious husband Ron. As well as the Garcia family who is incredibly musically talented. As well as the Williams family! They had a super cool story about how they were able to overcome trials after being involved with a motorcycle wreck. Seriously one of the coolest lessons I have had in a while! At church I just met all sorts of people. It is gonna take me a minute to work out who people are and stuff like that.


That is legit all I have for yall! I am living it up again in Merlin in my little log cabin! I hope you all have an awesome week and Ill Talk to ya next week! 


Ps this zone does a picture prompt every single day to make sure everyone is getting out of bed on time. So some of the pictures are kind of strange. Thats from that.

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...
