Livin In Eugene/Snakes!

Whats good my friends! I hope you are all doing well! There is like 15 days until christmas so I hope you are all setting up and getting ready for the best day of the year! 

This week was very interesting. Did a lot of things I had no idea I would be doing so lets get into it!



Living in Eugene! 

So Friday we got a call from the mission offce and they told us that Elder Kartchner would be flying to Salt Lake City for an apointment for his Visa. So I got to hang out in Eugene for like 3 days until he got back. We drove up Monday morning because he had to be at the airport at 11. The schedule was I was going to stay in Creswell just outside of Eugene for 2 nights. We would pick My comp up Wednesday Morning and drive back home. 

Monday (Pday) Was a joke. Nobody wanted to do anything fun so we just sat at the church building with only like 2 people I cared to talk to. I did get to hangout with Elder Merrill that day. But everyone else besides the creswell elders sucked. That is why I chose to stay with the Creswell Elders! Elders Touhouni and Starly were their names. I think they are so funny and literally the only sane missionaries in Eugene. I loved the time here. 

We taught this guy named John in Creswell, super knowledgeable guy and he just seems to know everything. I hope we can get through his thick skull to get him baptised. Otherwise we just did work and lived it up in creswell!



Snakes!

One of our brand new investigators owns a zoo. No not a literal zoo but he owns upwards of 50 animals. We go over there for a lesson but get sidetracked looking at all his crazy reptiles! One of teh snakes was supposedly one of the fastest striking venomous snakes in the world. We also got to hold these crazy cool pythons. One of which was like spotted white. Probably my favortie one he has. I will take a picture with her when I go over there next. One of the snakes I am holding is a 16 foot 65 pound python and it was the largest snake I have ever seen. I have no idea why I just wanted to hold them all. But I did. Not the venomous ones. I didnt dare do that. 



Anywasys, I hope yall have an amazing rest of your week. I might have more stories next week but we will see what happens. Enjoy the pictures!

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...
