Nobody Is Walking Out On This Good Old Fashioned Family Christmas - Clark Griswold

Hello Everyone! It is Christmas time! It feels just like yesterday that it was christmas time. Time flies by so quickly. Especially out here on the mission! I was with Elder Fossat! Who is long gone to Brazil! We got to hangout with the Hoover family that day! It seems like just yesterday! Anyways, This week was super interesting! So here is the week! 


Wrapping presents! 
I got to help out a member wrap presents for christmas! As you all know, I am the best christmas wrapping wizard ever! So after showing me some tips and tricks the christmas present wrapping wizard strikes again and I am a professional! 


Awkward dinners
Every once in a while you go over to a members house for dinner and they just do not say jack squat and do not keep the conversation going! We usually are at one of these dinners for like an hour to an hour and a half but this one was interesting because we were there for 35 min. We had dinner, almost in silence because they are so weird and then they said they were going to bed and were glad we came! So we left! Probably the shortest member dinner ever.


Standing outside in the Cold
Saturday we were asked if we could participate in a zone service. So we show up and they are wanting us to take shifts helping pass out presents at the salvation army church. Like the toys for tots thing. So us and the zone leaders are there at 8 am, it is like 30 degrees outside and we had to be there directing traffic outside. There was like 3 cars the whole time we were there. It was one of the most useless services I have done. I dont even know.


Golden
So we showed up early to a service the other day. Totally miscalculated the timing but we got to go to this little mining town in Merlin area called Golden. It was very well known for both its mining as well as gold panning. They like were using one of the most effective ways to get gold there. It like totally messed up the river there. So they have been working on putting it back to the way it used to be. There was also an old church and schoolhouse we were able to visit. It reminded me a lot of Grafton. I loved it.


Anyways, that is all I have for the week! I love you all and keep remembering christ during the christmas season! He is the reason for the season! Have an awesome week! Talk to yall when I do!

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...
