Living In Grants Pass!

Image
Hello everyone! It is me again! Time has been flying by! I cannot belive it is time to write another lovely email for you guys! It is my favorite pastime! Anyways, Here are the highlights Saving miles We had a couple days where we had to get members to take us places just due to the fact that we are supposed to stay under our alloted miles for the car. But when we could not get any members we just sat here and just tried to use technology to call and text people. That was the best option we had! Those days get so boring!  Glendale Day This week in Glendale we didnt have a ton of lessons actually. We did a lot of contacting in this little town just south of Glendale called Wolf Creek. Now this town was supposedly shut down because of how sketchy this area was! So it was very fun! We took a route right by Wolf creek up to the north part of Glendale and we drove up a mountain with some awesome views! It was a great day! Staying in Grants Pass So this weekend was Stake conference! So s...

hello Everyone! I forgot to write an email on Sunday and my mom got mad at me and threatened to jump on a plane and come beat me so here I am! Though it would make a funny email title for next week! "Angry mom flies to oregon to beat the crap out of her missionary son" Would have been fun.  Anyways the highlights!  Glendale Day!  So we try to drive up to Glendale area once a week because that is where all of our awesome lessons and stuff are! We drove up there and had all of our lessons cancel on us! It was very sad! So we just decided to contact everyone we could! We went and explored a sketchy probably drug house and it was just an awesome day! We found a couple of people who might be interested in coming back/being taught so ill keep you updated on them if im not dead by mom.  FOOD So wednesday was very interesting! We got to drive down to GP and pick up a couple of elders to help out with a service for the Goodpastures. They fed us breakfast burritos which was am...

Goodbye Apostate Music!

Hello Hello all you hooligans of the email list! I hope you are all doing well! I am doing pretty good here! So lets get into the highlights!  Goodbye Music! The last month or so the spirit has been trying to fight with me to delete my music. Constantly, I read things in the scriptures about how obedience brings blessings and how we need to be exactly obedient to the standards as missionaries. Ive always been a concept kind of guy. I read the standards and I try to follow everything but if I feel like I can still help someone come closer to christ without following everything to a T I would do that. But I have constantly been having fights in my head and having thoughts about how much more I can progress and help people progress if I was to follow everytihing to a T. This includes deleating my prized posessions my music. 850 songs down the drain and now I listen to the book of mormon video soundtrack on repeat because the youth music is kinda trash.  Exchanges with Elder Keetc...

Becoming A Ranch Hand

Hello everyone! Still here! Still living. Still in my little cabin. Nothing much has changed. So lets get into the highlights! Wiffleball with the Elds On pday we finally decided to cave and buy a wiffleball set at walmart. We got to play with a bunch of the elders for a little while on pday! It was way fun! Throwing those wiffleballs can cause some nasty curve balls! Pear Farm! On Tuesday we were given permission to go down to Medford to help out with the pear farm! If any of you dont know, it is owned by the church and missionaries living in Central Point and Medford go every week to help out the church. So It was very cool to go down there and help out! I drove through a lot of my old area and it kind of gave me a lot of nostalgia! It was so fun! Now we have a crap ton of pears that we get to eat so it was all worth it! Hanging with a homeless dude So this story was very strange. It was the end of the day, we are getting home after cleaning the church building with a couple of membe...
