Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well! Life here has been nothing crazy but it has been enjoyable. I hope everyone had an awesome thankgiving! Hope you all had a fun Black Friday and whatever else yall had this week! Anyway, here are the highlights!


There has been a lot of changes between this transfer and last! There is about half of us that stayed. Some of my good friends are in a quadpan now with the zone leaders. So that is definitely interesting. I am really looking forward to christmas in this zone! There are some awesome friends that are in this zone! 


We did have an awesome experience where we went and visited with our newly baptised member Joshua! It has been a bit since he has been to church and it definitelly has taken a toll on him. But this time we go over there and he told us he visited with Brother Garcia and that he quit smoking again! Keep Joshua in your prayers! He is an incredible guy! This is probably the happiest I have ever seen him!


Thanksgiving on the mission is very different. Instead of hanging out with your family for the day and doing various activities you are at the mercy of the people in the ward! if they like you you might get invited to dinner and maybe get to go do the turkey bowl with the family! If not you get to sit at home. Luckily our ward likes us and we actually got invited to 2 different dinners! One over at the church building that Bishop was pulling off, the other was at Mama Goodpastures. We got absolutely spoiled and I should not have ate as much as I did. It was a lot of food. 


Black Friday!
No we couldnt get up at 630 and be there for the rush in the morning. We had meetings all morning but we did get to go public finding afterwards for a bit! The funniest part is I convinced my companion Elder Kartchner to wear these ridiculous elf cowboy boots that were left in the apartment. He wore them for the meetings just to be funny but he forgot his other shoes so he wore them all day. We did public finding, went and visited people and went to a dinner in these awesome boots. He is just so glad to have a companion like me. 


Anyways, i think that is all I have for you guys. We did get to watch a short clip of the kid from a christmas story beat up another kid and lets just say, it was amusing. I have been focusing a lot on my studies the last little bit because they have been lacking. I read in D&C 138 talking about how Jesus Christ ministered to the people on the other side of the veil before he was ressurected. Ive heard that doctrine before. Just happy to have a place to where I can cite it if needed. 


I love you all and I hope you have a great week! 


Also, I met this guy named Ken Jones who graduated from Hurricane, he said he knew a handful of you guys. I know he mentioned Arthur Lebaron, Travis and Wes Christiansen and Richard and Matt Hirschi.

Introducing Bishops Son To Anti

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...
